Well; I think I would actually be considerably worse off if I had behaved myself, made it through high school and gone to university than I am currently; I know it seems counterint…

Not really. Mostly (when I was pimped out to them) they did almost exclusively "business constantly" work (read: outsourcing blame and repaying favours, greasing the revolving door…

Yeah I had the same feeling; how could anyone writing something like an air traffic control system design it in such a way that some failure/exception in loading user settings caus…

I've actually never seen "the system" 'work', in that I never willingly hire grads and almost none of my experienced staff have ever had a formal education. But then again I'm not …

So it's their failure and not yours? I have a comparable story; dropped out of school at 15 and didn't touch education since (>15 years ago now), then spent a few years high and dr…

Grim right? Wonder how many of these devices there are out there... Can you even update the smmu config via OTA android updates?

Well fair enough. I don't consider myself better then my team when taken as a whole, however I am the lead for a reason and I'm much closer aligned on how to maximise what we're de…

Who is 'they' in that case? They for me is whoever is paying us to help them with their business. If it's the contractors/team members then no. Ive unfortunately had several highly…

Running teams of contractors for years, I disagree it's uncommon. I let my guys do whatever they want as long as the work is being delivered. Sometimes I have to have a standoff wi…

I can't remember the last time firefox 'reader view' didn't work for me. Do you really need to go down those roads this often(serious)? I'm really not trying to call you on anythin…

That's a beast, doesn't it weigh a ton and don't you worry about having spinners knocking around in your bag? Do you need that much in a luggable? I would have that setup on a desk…

I guess unity was the only thing driving Mir then? Is dropping one the same as dropping both? Seems like good news to me, having a significant player like canonical contributing to…

Found it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14043631 Can't find a cached version of the actual ubuntu article though. Edit: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…

I don't hear it while audio is playing either since it's drowned out -- never do a build or something and hear it? It really annoys me, I'm surprised you don't hear it. Maybe not a…

There is no difference. From the top of my head in the last few years I have (and you have also probably) used the following to get software: rpm/yum, deb/apt, pacman, ports, sysvr…

Canonical are ditching Mir? I must have missed this one. Was this discussed here? Page won't load for me but my first thought was this was a poor taste April fools ;)

Do you not notice a high pitched whining noise whenever doingsomething graphically intense (lots of output steaming by etc)? Its a known problem with these laptops and while I'm us…

Do you get the coil whine also? Also 4.10 seems to not work for me? Am I the only one?

My workflow is very similar. I think you might get some benefit from a tiling wm. I use DWM personally, but you might want to check them out

Your laptop has 4 disks?

That sounds like a pretty neat setup. I know I can just google all this so please forgive me the inane questions; it depends on virtualbox though? That's a bit of a nonstarter for …

Latest XPS13 running arch. So far the least annoying setup I've had in recent memory, having switched from macs (although I've had to stick to 4.9 as 4.10 causes all kinds of issue…

Right so can't I just add one then? Most vm setups I might have a default route to the other VM running tor but I can still talk to e.g 192.168.0.1 even if I'm not putting traffic …

I read them all and I'll probably read the next one, question for a fellow reader: am I the only one who absolutely hates Holden? He doesn't really seem to have developerd or grown…
