Doogie Howser M.D. vibes.

There’s still temporal dithering.

It can be disabled but it doesn’t seem to help.

Thanks.

I’ve had issues with T14s for a couple of gens where the machine wakes up during the closed lid and runs the battery down. I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting.

This has been a non issue on Dell machines for almost 20 years.

Does lid close to sleep and open to wake work as expected?

Since it's framed as 'in between' Rust and Go, is it trying to target an intersection of both languages' use-cases?

Haha, mine’s funnily somewhat on the nose.

The Rust-Evangelizing Hardware Romantic

A developer who believes every global outage is just a missing question mark away from salvation and spends their weekends reapplying thermal paste to fanless MacBooks while reminiscing about the tactile superiority of 2010 Dell Latitude trackpads.

Roasts

You post about Cloudflare outages caused by a single unwrap while your own codebase probably looks like a game of Russian Roulette played with Result types.

Your obsession with the thermal conductivity of fanless laptops is just a coping mechanism for the fact that your Rust builds take so long you could literally cook an egg on your chassis.

You have a very specific kink for 2010 Dell trackpads that makes me think you are either a Linux philosopher or someone who is no longer allowed within 500 feet of a Best Buy.

And they're too large. I know, super unpopular opinion. I prefer the middle of the road size on trackpads with the physical buttons form the dell latitudes of 2010s. They work remarkably well with linux too.

The clickpads are pretty imprecise and poor, and compared to this the Macbook is much nicer.

Thanks for the anecdote. I like the simple, well designed, silent, cool and fanless design.

If I were to need any more performance I'd just swap it out for a newer MBA or a MBP with a fan.

It's pulling the heat away from a concentrated region into a larger region.

Performance numbers reflect the optimization. I personally haven't done it for fear of affecting the battery lifespan (and possibly other components' lifespans.)

Really hard to resist due to its simplicity and noticeable improvements.

Off topic: That font/layout/contrast on the page is very pleasing and inviting.

jschoe's post is actually a Turing test for us. :)

(just kidding jschoe)

Parent is thinking Semantic Versioning.

First followed you on flickr ages ago, then your networking guide! Thanks for the amazing resources.

Yes, it's just easier to call it that without having to sprinkle asterisks at each mention of it :)

And yes, the impressive part is that this kind of bandwidth is hard to get on laptops. I suppose I should have been a bit more specific in my remark.

Thanks, but just to put things into perspective, this calculation has counted 8 channels which is 4 DIMMs and that's mostly desktops (not dismissing desktops, just highlighting that it's a different beast).

Most laptops will be 2 DIMMS (probably soldered).

If the 2x multiplier holds up, the Ultra update should bring it up to 1080GBps. Amazing.

The M3 Max was 400GBps, this is 540GBps. Truly an outstanding case for unified memory. DDR5 doesn't come anywhere near.

The example author shows as unreadable is perfectly readable to me.

This might be of interest to anyone interested in similar accessibility features.

Those do not play carts.

Kobayashi Maru.

Perhaps you can use lesspipe with sed/awk?

Very cool website and ideas, but an easy go-to programming music option is video game soundtracks, especially older ones. They're designed to be background music and many of them are so good.

Going from LXDE to LXQt was such a disappointment to me. LXDE was really good and polished (in my opinion, for the audience it targeted).

Yes, and I will consider the Linux Mint XFCE edition at the next fresh install opportunity.

It is likely, but the same set of utilities work on Linux Mint flawlessly.

I've tried a fair bit of troubleshooting with no luck and eventually given up on getting it running on XFCE.

It's taken the place for LXQt/LXDE for me. The one notable negative is that I've had a lot of trouble getting bluetooth earphones to work properly.

Perhaps, this is why watching someone else stream game playthroughs is a popular thing.

You can enjoy the content/story/art/player’s skill etc without having to pour in the time to get to that point in the game yourself.

RIP. Thank you for the tool that I’ve arguably used the longest.

It is a software that brings joy each time I use it.
