Unfortunately it's not just dense cities, and all it takes is 1 neighbor to ruin your night.

We’ll skip it based off other signals (referrals notably) of course, but if we offered an interview to every candidate based off their resume we’d never get around to interviewing …

As an engineer working on my company’s top of funnel it’s tough. Currently we’ve switched to a short (15-30m) technical problem that we hand grade before candidates get a call. Asy…

As I was reading the start of your argument, I thought you were gonna call the models a depreciating asset! Totally agree about GPUs too, but literally everything they’re spending …

Yep, I do all of those on gnome without issues now. HDR too!

The article mentions several TUI programs that rendering in an accessible way for screen readers.

I honestly prefer the ars article here just because there's no onscroll fancy animation, just an actual textual description of what's being reported.

As someone who is a maintainer of a few packages, it’s actually really hard to find references for this stuff! The wiki is pretty bare when you start looking for specifics, and lik…

It helps that the major cell carriers have convinced people to pay multiple times more than the budget carriers, to offer free phone upgrades every few years or when switching carr…

The article doesn’t talk about whether immigration enforcement is good, instead focusing on the side effects of the current federal deployment in Minnesota.

kinda similar experience with my thinkpad t14s gen 2 amd (what a name.) I like framework's philosophy, but there's so many refurbished business laptops out there (many unused) that…

Super cool, I'm definitely going to have to grab a pi and set this up. Now if we could also solve the ps5/switch/etc not turning off the TV, my setup would be perfect!

pcie expansion cards? SATA isn’t free and takes away from having potentially more PCIE lanes, so the only real difference here is the connector

Reading it closely, that's a bit of an oversimplification. The article focuses pretty heavily on functionality over style, where doing the equivalent thing in macos is either silly…

I like plasma as well, my main complaints with it rn are - configuring stuff like the task bar has always been buggy, the drag/drop frustratingly won't drop stuff in the right plac…

Totally agree. Lots of friends who game have been asking for advice on linux now that they don’t want to update to windows 10. I’ll show them both gnome and plasma, and they’ll usu…

Totally agree, but it seems like competitive games have solved it. CS2 (VAC), The Finals (EAC), and Overwatch 2 (Warden) all run flawlessly on Linux.

On Wayland+gnome/plasma I’ve had great luck with games, Firefox is almost there with some bugginess, and video playing apps that use mpv like plex work great. It’s definitely not p…

Super cool! I wonder if the same technique could be useful for video encoding too.

There’s always Sony too, who still put out pretty good receivers.

I'm going to guess they voted 2016 and 2020, prior to January 6th & Project 2025

Check out sweep. Completely unaffiliated, their only offering is the jetbrains plugin so it gets a lot more focus than windsurf. Only downside is that Claude code is still a better…

I’ve used fsr 4 and dlss 4, I’d say fsr 4 is a bit ahead of dlss 3 but behind dlss 4. No more vaseline smear

Not this but similar, Sony’s acoustic surface audio for their displays uses actuators behind the screen to vibrate it. it’s not crazy bass but I’d say it’s on par with regular buil…

The CTO is the president of the VideoLAN non-profit, so it seems accurate. Supposedly from their about page they’re the primary maintainers of vlc.
