My anecdote is a bit different, I got a Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen 2, and during the first few months I had overheating while charging, keys that would get stuck in pressed mode (which ha…

Maybe what they mean is that, despite an asymptotic advantage, the new algorithm performs worse for many use cases than the older ones. This might be due to the many heuristics tha…

I can't say using vendor specific icons is wrong, clearly a lot of people need just that, but I always miss more generic architectural components in these diagramming tools. That's…

To be clear, while I believe focusing on high school has a negative impact on diversity, I don't think this is intentional on Canonical's part. Also I should say the overall recrui…

I don't know whether it's a deliberate strategy but this definitely happened to me during my interview with Canonical this year. From a diversity perspective, putting any focus on …

At my previous company there were several attempts to build declarative migration systems, one of which was more or less successful. They were all a lot more modest in scope and go…

I scrape all my bookmarks, github / gitlab stars, favorite tweets, etc... regularly, and push that to an elasticsearch instance, so that I can do full text searches later. This is …

Native comp is great. Most of the speed ups are modest, but it's really noticeable in some really slow operations. For example, calculating org-table summaries in a very large org …

Same here, it's very useful for waterfall scenarios but I've never used it for agile planning and I'm not sure it would have a place in that kind of workflow. Also, for medium-size…

I believe that tradeoffs between individual freedom and the common good are necessary. So I am biased in favour of intervening when it's necessary. But it's very hard to see how th…

The argument is usually that non-linear effects of the size of their network make the potential or actual harm Facebook do much greater than anyone else, therefore it makes sense t…
