> my System76 Galago Pro had its second experience with a dead/swelling battery.

I used to have a Dell laptop which had exactly the same problem with my first battery. Running laptop plugged into AC adapter 99% of the time was one reason for that happening, I imagine.

Fix was ridiculously simple - I bought a new battery (original) + a knock-off power adapter (a more expensive one - hoping it's built well enough so it wouldn't burn my house down - and as luck had it, it didn't). Knock-off adapter doesn't speak magic Dell charging protocol, so laptop runs off of it, but refuses to charge.

I kept original AC adapter for (infrequent) travel only, all the other time powering from a knock-off. Worked a charm - second battery held something like 90% of charge 3 years later, with no signs of swell whatsoever. Compare that to first battery, that lived on constant top-up charge (original adapter), and after less than a year swell up to the point it wouldn't clip in anymore.
You could also flip this around and say “No weak willed overly sensitive people”

Most people are fine with jerks. Just like most people aren’t jerks. It’s when the minority group “jerks” intersects with minority group “wimps” that problems show up.

And I would say both groups are equally toxic to company culture.
The world is run and shaped by "jerks".

Whether you like it or not. If we look past 21st century culture and look back upon history...

- Caesar (killed/enslaved 1 million+ gauls)

- Augustus (killed anyone who posed a political threat, killed a lot in general)

- Genghis Khan (killed... well, he killed a lot)

- Napoleon (got hundreds of thousands of people from every European nation killed)

- The list goes on.

Name one famous historical figure who had power of some sort who didn't do anything "jerk-like".

The problem with the "jerk" definition is that the author nor most people have ever been in a position of great power. He does not understand how difficult and stressful it is to be the CEO of a big company or a top political leader.

I believe that in a position of great power, the power holder is forced to do some "jerk-like" things. You gotta make harsh decisions.

E.g. if Augustus didn't kill off all his political opponents (including Caesar's supposed only biological son), it is likely Rome will be thrown into more civil war.

Every guy has a "jerk" inside of them, and when put into a stressful situation, they are capable of using it.

The cost per query difference of cloud versus bare metal, in the article is over ten times. That kind of margin gives a lot of room for error. You could literally over provision by an order of magnitude and come out on top.

There's plenty of hidden costs though of doing this yourself that need a certain level of scale to pay off. Like people to manage the hardware, that's a big one.

Still renting bare metal servers from e.g. Packet could make much more sense even for small companies than using AWS.

Feedback week seems like a way to introduce a tremendous amount of politics to the workplace.

"Feedback week" is not an outcome I would leave to chance unless I trusted management to an extraordinary degree. Getting good feedback would become my priority for the week before and I would be forming partnerships with people to play up certain aspects, especially if management (the people who decide my paychecks) are going to be hearing it. Why would I do all this? It is very hard to shake a negative impression, so preventing one is imperative.

Feedback week tells me to spend the week before not asking for help which may be hard to provide, investing in colleague lunches, sending them job postings and encouraging them to seek a promotion, withholding cool productivity improvements until just before feedback week (I have this cool new automation script), and planning my feedback with close team members.

That seems like a worse outcome than having me actually doing work.
Consider building completely ridiculous, useless things. It removes any mental pressures towards commercialization/viability and shifts the activity from more like work to more like art, which can open up space to flex the skills you want to flex.
> Apple is a trendsetter in so many ways. Its proposed hotel as part of its new Austin campus is another example of it being ahead of the curve,”

It’s quite common in some countries for companies and other institutions hotels or guest houses on site, especially when ravel is difficult. And even when not it’s very typical for companies to have a with local hotels for their visitors. This is just another case of wiggling the dividing line between in-house/outsourcing that companies do with fungible tasks like cafeterias, cleaning, call center etc.
Great! I would love to see more classic games in the browser. The controls really throw me off though--do enough people really prefer inverted vertical controls for it to be the default in so many games? UP to go down, DOWN to go up?
Austin has a lot of events where all the hotels are all booked up. Presumably Apple can give reservation priority to its guests. The headaches saved from that alone could make this worthwhile.

Austin is a decent-sized city but not a particularly large one, so hotel capacity isn't huge. And there's SXSW, Austin City Limits music festival, a Formula 1 track, the Republic of Texas biker rally (200,000 attendees). Not to mention graduation weekend for the University of Texas, which is a big campus with over 50,000 enrolled.

Right, but in 10 years they surely would have the time to offer a type safe C++ API in addition, just like in other platforms.

Don't share letters. There is no reason to.

Whether they might think you're bluffing or not, at the end of the day they are prepared to go up to a point but are simply trying to get you for as cheap as possible. There is no qualm to be had in getting them to pay the max. they are prepared to.

Their attitude on this is also something for you to consider because it tells you something about how working for them might turn out to be.

I think it's kind of weird how a lot of commenters feel a need to take one side or the other in these stories. IMO both of the following were true:

1. The onboarding process at this company was absurd.

2. The author's response was to show contempt and derision to everyone else involved. The "everyone responsible for this is an idiot" vibe was so strong throughout both posts.

Running large, complex organizations is extremely difficult. I wouldn't want to work at that company, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to work on a team with the author, either.
The spirit of "right to be forgotten" is a right to not have past events unduly influence your public image.

I would assume that—unless it's been proven that you can GDPR-takedown-request a credit agency to erase your credit history—there's no "right to be forgotten" as applies to never-publicized, company-internal data about you.
I love my Dell Latitude 7280 that I got for €300 (second hand). Almost brand new. I shelled out €150 for the `official` dell dock later (second hand) and then €150 later to upgrade the nvme drive from 256gb to 1tb and the RAM from 8gb to 16gb.

Only thing I miss and somehow can feel is the lack of dual channel. I'd trade one 16gb dd4 for two ddr3 slots any day.

One of your examples is Hitler for God's sake. Everybody else eventually bundled to fight him, including second biggest murderer of the time. And no, Hitler did not done what he done because he had no other choice as a powerful man. Seriously.

You literally collected the biggest psychopaths and claim "this is how leaders must be". Nope, we as a whole do very well when people like these are under control and don't get power.

We really really don't need Hitlers and Napoleons.
RAID6 is safer: any two drives can fail. RAID 10 can sustain more drive failures, but can tolerate only 'certain' drives to fail. And the drive that really should not fail is taxed during a rebuild.

Do you need the performance or capacity? What are your needs? How many drives can your chassis hold. How much space do you need?

And so on. Maybe RAID10 is the best option for you but it's not a straight rule-of-thumb.
We had thousands of years of technology before computational devices came along.

For example, there was a whole range of technology encompassed in the transition from rubbing 2 sticks together to start a fire to pocket size lighters.

The terms "developing new technologies" can be heard in the seminars in fields having nothing to do with computers, programming, or the internet. One would need a good background in calculus, partial differential equations, etc. to understand many of the talks.

Someone mentioned architecture decision records, which are a great way to connect the first point to the second with a narrative!

> we want operating expenses, not capital expenses

Ultimately it's all capex. The choice is whether the capital asset is on your balance sheet or someone else's.

If someone else is tying up their capital in a depreciating and inflexible asset, they'll demand to be paid well for giving you the flexibility to avoid all of that.

So you can't really say opex is always better than capex, since it depends on the price you're willing to pay for that flexibility.

That’s not my argument. All I’m saying is that a bank has good reason to be concerned about a phone being jail broken/rooted.

I absolute agree that a user, as the owner of the phone, should be able to do this, especially in a safe and official manner. Right now it’s an all or nothing and that is a problem.

I would say it is more like ZFS is the gold standard. You can use other filesystems for Raid, but none of them have the track record of ZFS.

You can use different sized drives in ZFS, but you will be limited to the utilization of the lowest capacity drive on the larger drives in the pool. In practice this isn't much of a problem, because you can just replace the lowest capacity drives first to grow your pool size over time.

That’s a straw man. Everyone is a jerk sometimes.

There have been great people who changed the world without a predominantly jerky reputation. I don’t find much evidence Einstein was considered one, for example.

The tolls stay in the system and don’t support any non-tolled roads. If anything the subsidies go the other way, since cities will pay to have a ramp built that will then generate tolls for the main highway. I have no idea what percentage of the toll goes to collection costs.

As far as un-egalitarian, I respectfully disagree. I’m sure there are people who can’t afford the toll costs, but “pay for what you use” seems perfectly reasonable to me. I guess that may be different if money is taken from the toll road as you described.
I counted at least six mistakes in your question text, so I would recommend you to work on your writing skills. Luckily, writing is a universally useful skill, and almost any side project you pick should give you an opportunity to practice writing.

Not hopeless. Teams with low psychological safety can recover after the toxic people leave. You still need a manager or team lead to show people the path but in my experience 90% of the people want to help their coworkers and be part of something valuable/bigger.

It's important that the team be highly connected (in how they coordinate their work), if it's one person talking one on one with everyone else then that's not going to result in a high-functioning team.

You also need excitement among at least some of the team members.
If you have no idea, why do you want to have a side project? You are taking it backwards, a project is the expected solution to a problem you face. You need to find something to solve, then what can be a project will be obvious.
High functioning teams start with high functioning individuals.

After that it’s up to the group to not waste effort, not go in the wrong direction too long, avoid toxic behavior, and otherwise stay healthy.

But teams start with individual talent.

I sometimes wonder if I might be a jerk. I regularly ponder this topic, and think of ways I can mitigate. I've delivered an increased amount of business value (not by being "brilliant", but rather, just pragmatic)-- and that required making some breaking changes. Engineers in other parts of the organization who use the same software are of course inconvenienced by this. I've put a lot of effort into minimizing where the changes are breaking, but it seems impossible to appease my colleagues. Was breaking the psychological safety of inter-team communication worth it, if it means the business can meet its goals more quickly and effectively?

I have a System76 laptop, a Gazelle 17-inch. See [0] for exact specs.

pop_os! has been fantastic, though it has some ways to go, particularly in the power management department. Overall, the biggest drawback is definitely the battery life. If you look around for System76 laptop reviews you'll see that battery life is a consistent issue. I'm able to get ~1.5-2 hours on integrated graphics, about 45 minutes using Nvidia graphics.

At first I thought it was just the battery/device itself, (the device is largely is a rebranded Clevo laptop with System76's firmware and other custom parts), so I installed Windows on the machine to see what kind of battery life I'd get under that. Windows was able to get ~6 hours with the same workflow (mostly browsing, streaming, email) and ~4 hours with the Nvidia graphics.

Seems like it. 10-15 years ago I had a bunch of paper menus in a folder taped to my fridge that I would have to look at to order food. Perhaps I didn't have access to every restaurant in the area, but the selection was broad enough. The only extra fee I paid was whatever tip I chose to give the driver which I always assumed got added on top of a reasonable wage. That system seemed to be sustainable--at least it operated fine for many decades.

It's too bad the old system was cannabilized by the apps. I'm sure some smaller operations that couldn't afford to run their own delivery before have seen an uptick in sales, but as a consumer the choice paralysis, screwed-up orders from over-worked kitchens, and insane fees/price bloat has turned getting food delivery into an unpleasant experience I now try to avoid.

True, I suppose some mismatched or buggy hardware is a bigger issue in laptops. Like it's a pretty big problem if the wifi driver on my laptop is buggy in Linux, though nowadays that likely means it's buggy in Windows anyway.

The last laptop I purchased would literally BSOD only when connected to certain manufacturer (Cisco) access points under unclear conditions. It was a known bug. HP never bothered to release an installable patch and the one provided by Intel made the computer unbootable.

But I suppose there's likely still a market for people buying enough computers at a time that the risk of a hardware issue is not worth the premium.
