AFAIK, I don't think OOM-killer would help too much. Calculating hashes is not very memory intensive job
Gimp's text tool was quite nice last time I checked. Krita's on the other hand is just horrible...
That's weird. At my company our performance improved with everyone working from home. Some peoples' individual performance deteriorated slightly, but it's made up for by the rest.
I can't tell what the contradiction is.

I am a Mac user but I largely use the Google suite web apps, which I guess is the polar opposite of being a "power user".

What's contradictory however about someone using Mail or Calendar and being a power user? Is there a world of productivity apps that are much better designed than those? Or is anything below "I do everything in emacs" not a power user?

Saludos.
I think it depends on a font supporting them correctly. I’m using a zsh prompt that uses them and it seems normal. Check https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font and let me know if it helps. I was thinking of adding the powerline symbols to the test renderings.
Nautilus has sushi. It's not as good as Preview in MacOS but at least works similarily.

It's not even a software development exclusive problem. You might create a product, sell it on Amazon and then notice Amazon sell its own AmazonBasics version of it after a while.
Or you just return to the previos (and working) version of the website while you fix the issue. At least if you a good old monolith; if you have 10s of microservices it may be more complicated
Heh, the observation from the "zones of thought" universe comes to mind: If you want to be safe, don't even try to sneak a peek!
Early and often communication is key here.

If you're attending meetings, you're most likely not doing work towards deadlines, and someone asking for you to do both may need to be reminded of that. Blocking out time in your schedule to work may be effective, depending on meeting culture.

Do try to avoid being distracted, and get work done well during the business day that's available, but don't over stress about deadlines missed because someone scheduled you for excess meetings when you needed to be working.

At some point in your career, you may have enough clout to just skip meetings. Some companies are meeting heavy, and that might not be apparent during the interview, but IMHO, it's super draining to lots of meetings, especially meetings with more than a few people, and usually the more people, the less productive, and of course, the bigger productivity loss from people * work they could have been doing instead.
While I agree with many things, since when Gnome = Linux? But maybe that is part of the problem
Python 3.9.3 and 3.8.9 are now available
Nowadays you can install Arch to a zfs or btrfs subvolume and have snapshots before every update, so a failed update requires you to just reboot to the previous snapshot and do a rollback.

NixOS has a similar strategy.

I don't see why we can't have any combination of those
Because this isn't reddit and the sites rules pretty specifically ask that this sort of humor remains on other platforms.

Nobody wants another reddit.
and yet I don't see anyone complain about bash which is arguably far worse than those 2. When things get hard on bash, you will start to see python scripts on CI and whole thing is complete unreadable mess
I have a hard time seeing, as a long time Linux user, how the default mac terminal is crap ? It's very responsive, fast, you have most of the features you need. That compared to the clunky, slow gnome terminal for example, or the many various RXVT xterm clones.

Of course, you can install iTerm2 which is even better.
Just wait until you see windows 10 on a 2GB machine with mcafee, and then corona forces ms teams on it. Boot takes 15 minutes to usable. Usable means msword produces a character on the screen in less than 10 seconds after you type it.

IT closed the users ticket without action: As long as it boots in 15 minutes or less, there is no performance problem.
Preview works better than anything I’ve found for adding or deleting pages to a PDF, and using the camera to input your signature is such a nice feature.
I've been using Thunderbird for like a decade, but I've been spoiled by Fastmail's web interface so much that I now consider Thunderbird to be one giant mess from a UX perspective.

Half the time I miss-click the first email and sort by subject. In what world would I want to sort my emails by subject!?

Search vs. filter messages, I really don't need two search bars, one is fine.

I'm annoyed that the default sort is oldest to newest, and that I have to change it for each individual folder.

Tabs really don't fit into how I consume my email. Flagging important ones is good enough.

I'd take Geary (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary) over Thunderbird any day, but lack of GPG integration is what's forcing me to stick to Thunderbird.
Being a power user doesn’t mean that you have to run basic functionality like mail and calendar stuff from the terminal, and the GUI equivalents on Linux are not good enough
We, a medium-sized hosting provider, just do it using the process name. Works much better than you'd expect, since most miners are using very similar software. No interesting engineering challenge here, sadly.
> Linux somewhat supports /dev/tcp/HOSTNAME/PORT (technically that's application level in bash so not everywhere), and im sure there's daemons you could run to automount things on the fly.

Do note that this has been disabled in the major distributions at compile time for pretty much ever. The debian bug to build bash with that feature by default is ~20 years old (and was closed as wontdo).
I am also a bit confused and might need a bit more details. What do you mean by founders profile?
What platforms does it support? Linux, Mac, Windows?
This article doesn't really say anything new. It's a matter of time the USD either shares the spotlight with other major currencies or gets replaced in time. Can't stay on top and unchallenged forever in anything and history is full of examples like this.
Why does your microwave compare numbers?
Apt itself is great, but the PPA repos that make every dist upgrade more complex is kind of not nice. With pacman you have AUR and very simple package scripts, that lets you easily add whatever to your system that's not included in the distribution.

With apt this is not that straightforward.
> a file:// URL can make a network request. Who could ever think that that would be a good idea?

Anyone with networked filesystems, I should imagine?
We read this in a class when I was young and I am pretty certain it affected my way of thinking to this day.

Definitely recommend. It's cute, if for nothing else.
That also does the trick! However, not everyone knows how to create a GitHub profile. And if you are not a developer, it might be a bit weird to send a GitHub profile :D
I use a hammerspoon script called "MiroWindowsManager", which works very well:

local hyper = {"ctrl", "alt", "cmd"}

hs.loadSpoon("MiroWindowsManager")

hs.window.animationDuration = 0.3
spoon.MiroWindowsManager:bindHotkeys({
up = {hyper, "up"},
right = {hyper, "right"},
down = {hyper, "down"},
left = {hyper, "left"},
fullscreen = {hyper, "f"}
})

XML with a convenient UI tools to edit should have fit the bill. Yet, for whatever reason a convenient UI tool would never happen to be there when needed, and thus scared and tired of manual editing of XML the world have embraced YAML.
Honestly, I think it should already be dropping off.

Everyone, their kids and their pets has updated their electronics this year. That made sense as work/school from home was a thing. Now they have new electronics, and no need for additional electronics. Plus pretty soon things will reopen, and people will have opportunities to spend money on beer and restaurants and events.

Even if covid 2.0 launches this year, I already have a new ipad etc.

I think there'll be very low sales for most electronics for a while.
I always pull the door at 1 second.

And, if it needs 1:30, I just round it to :99 and wait until 9 instead.

Microwaves need a vibrate-only mode.
I saw that OP missed Calendar.app and I was convinced he was a liar. I regret that this is so aggressively ad hominem but Calendar has such obvious bugs I do not believe anyone - even the Calendar dev team - uses it.

It has two jobs: store events and remind you about events. Calendar gives notifications 10 minutes into meetings I'm already in (because my phone tells me about the meetings). It is unfathomable that this could have been released if anyone uses it.
> This is part of more general problem

The more general problem basically being sentinel values (which these sorts of inferences can be treated as) in stringly-typed contexts: if everything is a string and you match some of those for special consideration, you will eventually match them in a context where that's wholly incorrect, and break something.
It's fascinating that they can say:

"[..] the sustainability of its debt might be called into question"

and this:

"[..] backed by the Fed, which has unlimited capacity to issue currency in a crisis"

in the same article and don't feel any cognitive dissonance.

Because the dollar is used, for instance, to pay for oil, there is a strong demand for dollars outside the USA that has the effect of making USA imports cheaper. So, if the dollar lost international importance, that would put the USA in the same situation that the other nations. But going from there to the idea that the USA will have problems to pay a debt in dollars makes not sense.
I will never understand why YAML didn't just require quoted strings. Did the creator not anticipate how many problems the ambiguity would cause?
So you never updated Windows 10, not?
Yes. Compared to an OSX or Windows feature updates, for sure they have no effect to my day-to-day work. I even love systemd and wayland, and don't really operate with dbus...

The secret of course is to make your own desktop and choose the parts for the system. And, now when talking about systemd, it's much nicer to use compared to the Windows and macOS counterparts.
For hand-writing I love jsonnet, which produces JSON, is much more convenient to write, and has some templating, functions etc. https://jsonnet.org/

You wouldn't serialize data structures to jsonnet though, you'd just generate JSON.
What used to get me was that I'd have to reboot on nearly every install/update/significant change to my PC, thus waiting hours total on just booting every month.
I guess I'd be okay with a Merkle tree stored in SQLite, although looking over the Fossil documentation, it seems like the developers didn't get git, and what made the git data structure so clever.

I see pieces like this in the Fossil docs:

"Fossil stores its objects in a SQLite database file which provides ACID transactions" -- https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wiki

The whole point of git is that your only operations on the underlying data structure are:

1. writing an object under its hash

2. incrementing a pointer to the head of a branch, a git tag, or similar, to show which version is current

You can do (1) on an eventually consistent (or even never-really-consistent) backing store, without any sorts of strong guarantees of integrity, and the git data structure continue to guarantee integrity. If (2) goes out-of-sync, you're left in a state very similar to what happens if I'm working on my laptop, and you're working on yours. We need a merge.

With DVCS, the whole point is to make ACID irrelevant.

I hadn't heard of Fossil before, but reading over the docs, I see a lot of red flags like that.

If grit were backed bit literal git, I'll mention, you get a ton of stuff for free, mostly with regards to syncing and finishing tasks on distributed devices (e.g. my cell, my laptop, etc.)
Happier than a Samsung washing machine from 2010? Dang, that's impressive.

I think there should be a website of appliance hacks per model to disable songs or overwrite flash (I hope it's not PROM or an ASIC) with a custom "ringtone."
Maybe how you use Linux is different from how the authors uses Linux? Maybe their relation to their computer is different from yours? Maybe Linux serves some use cases well, and not others?
The IBM PS/1 had MS-DOS 4.01 in ROM. You could install newer versions on the hard drive, but I remember being bitterly disappointed on installing the 2.5MB RAM expansion, because the memory test slowed the boot process down tremendously.
It's like how operating systems use RAM. Excess capacity is wasteful, so our consciousness fills up with stuff, to the point it's freezing up because it's too occupied. Unlike RAM, it has difficulty realizing that it shouldn't be that way.
> So I Googled “laptops supported by Linux”. There is no official site.

https://linux-on-laptops.com/ has been around for a long time and it looks like it's still being updated. Though the official Linux-Laptop-HOWTO does need a lot of work to make it current.
Mine too. Even the fingerprint reader.

No tinkering required, the only change required to make it useable was to set desktop scaling for HiDPI, accessible via Displays area if the settings app. No terminal commands required.
Preview is a gem on macOS, it's probably what I miss most when I use Windows.
There are many great and REALLY modern languages like Nim and Crystal which have no corporate backing and lobbying like Go.

I should have loved Go but in fact had found it to be very verbosy, boring and mediocre at all lang. Of course it more suited for many tasks compared with Java, C++ or Python but... I still cry when try to compare with Nim or Crystal.
We had such: XML. With proper editor support it is easy.
I guess it needs rediscovery /s ;)

Hah I never noticed that those were those notes! I believe that's just a remarkable coincidence because the first, lower note is just the result of the SN76489 sound chip being powered up but "uninitialised", as it were. In theory different chips would give different tones but in practice all the ones they used seemed to give a consistent result.
The project manager said so, in case you missed the first 4.

Maybe the company wants to remind them how unnecessary they are. Not just individually, but also as a group.
Yeah, typing a folder's address could be a bit more discoverable in Nautilus. You can press Ctrl+L (like a web browser), or just start typing a folder address that begins with / or ~ but you're right there's no visible clickable button.

My experience is the other way round: it took me several minutes and much frustration to find a way to type a folder address in Finder.
It is great, I totally agree. The fact that it's OSS is awesome even if just from a learning standpoint.

Regarding your latter thought, it seems to me that if I'm running a service like this on my servers, I probably don't want to connect to unknown/untrusted peers. Open to use cases where that make sense, though.

[Edit] Just found the documentation on beacons that explains the trust model. So sounds like there is merit to your idea :)
The article says they’ve been doing this since November 2020. But I was mostly referring to how much crytpo they could really mine, since I assume the process has limited CPU, and a limited run time.
I disagree. The hardware and build quality of the XPS13 is notably better than my MBP, except for better CPU performance which I do not notice at all in daily usage (I know all ultrabook keyboards are terrible but the MBP is an a whole other level of awful.)

Linux on the XPS has surprised me. I hadn't used desktop Linux for ~6 years, but I remember lots of tinkering to get what I wanted. Now... If I had to describe it in one word it would be "boring". Boring because it just works. Honestly, I have spent significantly more time fixing problems in OSX behaviour than I do fixing problems on Linux. Even just weird things like Terminal text rendering breaking after an OS update which I've never seen on Linux.

Admittedly I have never used the default Mail/Calendar apps on either OS. I appreciate I'm biased because I know how to use Linux fairly well, in spite of a 6 year hiatus. The writer can of course hold his own opinion, but I take it with a large grain of salt. It's also disingenuous to present his own problems as reasons not to use something. It's fine to have a preference but I don't see why he needs to try and influence other people's decisions.
I could not find information about the Linux distro he used.
He says at some point "Wayland", which cancels Ubuntu.

Which distro did he install?
How else would you prove it's turing complete and can run Doom?
Czech Mapy.cz (part of a big corporation for cz scale) also has a good one (almost) every year. This year they restricted you from browsing more than 10 km from your location and the map went blank after 9 PM, according to current covid restrictions here. Obviously, there was a simple way to escape it.

> I'd tolerate it if I had no better option.

Did you try to install a native Linux distribution. The experience is always better that running on a VM.
common on! don't troll my comment, in Germany you have to be unlucky enough if you travel by train and it is delayed at all.
Where's the anomaly? Things like this are unavoidable, since wraparound must happen somewhere.
The disadvantage is that sales taxes tend to be particularly regressive. If you earn $15k a year, chances are almost all of that goes towards consumptions (i.e. sales taxable spending).
It’s reasons like this that I want my configuration languages to be explicit and unambiguous. This is why I use JSON or if I want a human friendly format, TOML. Strings are always “quoted” and numbers are always unquoted 1.2, it can never accidentally parse one as the other. The convenience of omitting quotes is just not worth the potential for ambiguity or edge cases to me.
Interesting thanks. Intuitive continuum and a sort of extra-logical preexisting basis reality for mathematical information.

I think Tesla and Ramanujan also said they got some insights directly from something possibly like this.

Everything can come from there. Memories, and maths, and motor designs, and other things. It's pretty cool.

I guess in some cases you could argue that there must be some sort of shared structure in the human brain that gives rise to these things maybe like an inbuilt mathematical intuition but in other cases of memories of other people or information about the future it's harder to make that case i think that it could already be in the brain. If only there were some really good science about this, but it's pretty hard i suppose. There could be tho i guess if people are willing to do it and fund it and get good results. If only there was some physical theory as well that somehow could begin to explain this or approach it, that would be really satisfying too I think... But maybe that's too much to hope for tho... Maybe we are pretty limited, maybe not tho, and even so things seem like miracles.
However, TearFree does murder performance and lead to some horrible screen lag at times, and as an extra bonus AccelMethod sna is still crashy years after being introduced :(

edit: there's also the modesetting driver + a reasonable compositor, but this can come with it's own set of bugs and issues in my experience.

During the journey to complete the program in (MSc) Econometrics & Management Science (i.e Statistics) I have acquired an extensive repertoire on the methods used in the Frequentist and Bayesian schools of statistics for a variety of problems. In addition, to the more traditional statistics I have an interest in the Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) space and have also participated in several Kaggle competitions (i.e. the Human Protein Atlas Challenge). These curricular and extracurricular pursuits have provided me with a good perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of the different schools of thought with regards to solving complex modelling problems. What makes me tick is the application of the latest theoretical developments to practical use cases and in the process get acquainted with the ever-changing world of frameworks and libraries that goes with it. I would love to start out in a Junior Data Scientist position, if my profile resonates with you, let me know ;)
As someone who is comfortable with linux and macOS and also someone who used an M1 MBA here is my take because this article does not do justice to each of the platform pros and cons:

1. The M1 Macs are amazing. If you are the kind of person who needs a GUI and involves lot of app related work go for it. (this person seems more interested in stuff like that so linux ain’t gonna cut it for him). The cons? A super restrictive platform (even more than it was under intel) and a very pricey hardware affair where getting anything fixed is hard. My speaker was faulty after my 2016 mbp already had a broken display thanks to apple. I hope new MBPs do a much better job at hardware after the keyboards that seem to be fixed now.

2. Linux can do everything almost that Windows / macOS can. But not necessarily better. In GUI it’s still a mess but wayland actually fixed tearing so I’m not sure what is the deal here. Overall I think you need to spend time with linux to become comfortable vs expecting a distro to solve all your requirements. If you really want the fine control go with Arch it’s usually good for cutting edge hardware.
The car problem is solved. There are huge battery factories built all over the world right now. Most major car manufacturers are releasing several electric cars this year. I’d bet you that few cars run by fossil fuels will be sold in Europe or North America in ten years from now.
