My Thinkpad X1 Carbon (gen 5) running linux can suspend for weeks without dying. There was definitely a window where battery life under suspending wasn't a huge problem in Linux, not sure what happened.
I also have a Framework 13 (11th gen intel) which has terrible suspend battery life (also loses 2-3%/hour like the newer AMD version)– I was hoping that the AMD chips would fare better, but it seems not.
For my all AMD ASUS TUF 16, I am having a great experience with sleep and battery drain. I’m running Nobara, a Fedora gaming spinoff. I can 100% treat it like my apple devices where I can close it and ignore it for several days, and maybe lose 1-5% battery over that time.
My understanding is that it being all AMD makes a difference, but I don’t know for sure.
Does anyone actually understand the consequences of turning ISO's into NSO's?
It's easy for someone to say "oh yeah, just convert the ISOs to non-quals and give me my 10 year exercise window". What does it actually mean for the companies (and yourself on the other side) to support this?
We went through a giant hassle to provide this for our employees. Oddly enough, they don't appear to give a shit. At all. My cofounder and I thought this would be a big selling point.
The downside to an employer is: first, you know that in a 90-day exercise or lose them world, lots of ex-employees don't exercise. That's great for your options pool. Second, our employees seem not to care. Third, anything nonstandard raises questions in future rounds. Fourth, there's apparently some more complex tax accounting according to our cfo.
I don't know the exact consequences for the company, but my employer gave employees the option to convert ISOs to NSOs to give us a 10 year exercise window. It was a really nice thing to do because I for one couldn't afford to exercise my options.
Is there anything preventing the Linux Foundation jumping in and officially supporting a desktop environment? Is it because the two main DE’s are already more-or-less backed by a foundation and the LF hopping in would fragment it even further?
Ubuntu tried for a while to lead their own efforts (MIR/Unity) and in the end, they pulled the plug and decided to just adopt Wayland/Gnome. Do people consider this a good change for the linux desktop landscape?
> Is there anything preventing the Linux Foundation jumping in and officially supporting a desktop environment?
How would it change anything? Stock Ubuntu, Stock Fedora, Stock Red Hat, Suse Enterprise Linux at least all ship Gnome Shell as the default desktop. If the LF said "Gnome Shell is the default 'official' Linux desktop", what would change? I don't think Best Buy would immediately begin stocking Linux desktops.
With high quality open source publishing tools like Hugo[1] and Ghost[2], and free hosting from GitLab/GitHub pages, there's little excuse not to self-publish.
Even using a paid service like Squarespace would be a step up in my opinion.
Gathering an audience is way harder without Medium. It might be atrocious in other ways, but it vastly increases the chances of your content getting read.
Does it really tho? This one seemingly got featured by someone at Medium and it pulled in around 10 000 hits from newsletters. While it's more than nothing its no where near the majority source of my traffic.
On principle I'll avoid viewing an article if it's being hosted on medium and skim the comments to decide whether it's worth viewing directly. Probably go on to view the original about 1% of the time. Sorry author, but using medium already counts against you.
And what's with all these sites that now force you to accept their cookie policy? Totally pointless when you configure the browser to delete cookies when the browser exits...
I'm amused to see GitHub thought of as self-publishing. It is nothing of the kind. It's someone else's platform granting you an instantly revocable right to use their facilities, no - or just a few thousand - strings attached.
In principle no different from Facebook and Twitter and all the other shoddy complimentary crap.
This seems to be a silly distinction because I doubt you will find many sites which pass your bar for being self-published. Unless you bought your own hardware, host it on land you own, connect to the internet via your ISP, and call it something under your TLD there are still a lot of people who can revoke your access to the internet arbitrarily and have terms of service. Nobody is an island.
With GitHub you can use your own domain and have full access to the code. GitHub revokes or kicks you off? Just upload the code somewhere else and point your domain there. That's not the same situation as publishing on Medium.
It's different in that I am the customer, I literally give them money to host my stuff. They can of course stop hosting my stuff at any time, but then I will also stop giving them money.
I'm not 100% sure since I'm a developer and not an entrepreneur, but I think they prefer to receive money rather than not receive money.
I looked up the company on Crunchbase and they're in the 100-250 range. I think having a lax work policy is something that doesn't scale. Having gone through growth at company where it grew from ~100 to ~300, work starts getting less personal at around 150+ (personal opinion backed by zero facts). When work becomes less personal, I think it's easier to become complacent. You do the 9-5 -- do your job and go home. If the company policy says you can take Fridays off, hell why not take it off? I don't think there's a way to keep up work output with an overly lax work policy.
Granted you know Ruby well and like coding in it. The amount you need to learn if you don't know RoR or Ruby is huge... You might get some stuff running fast copy pasting some example but claiming that it is all super easy to do anything meaningful is misleading.
This was exactly my experience. I struggled building with Rails, and every day was an uphill battle trying to learn the machinery. I switched to Node, and feel my better. My structure isn't nearly as pretty, optimal, or efficient now, but I'm actually learning the base concepts and understanding what I'm doing.
