The two practices are not mutually exclusive. Why not test against both?

OP didn't say "all people in India" so your correction isn't at all necessary or helpful.

Can confirm, this is how it works in the US too, even with a top-notch provider (Commerce) with comprehensive coverage.

The fact that pilots have already warned Boeing does not imply that OP "has no idea what they are talking about."

Your reply was unnecessarily hostile and your downvotes are well-deserved.

...I don't get it.

I'm a little confused -- did something happen with/to stylelint? Why is it at the top of HN right now?

You seem confused. No one implied that there was a third option.

Please don't police other peoples' speech.

>My team has full-day interviews and I'm curious to see who has been self-selecting out of this.

Anyone with any level of self-confidence, worth and respect.

>Implying that your anecdotal experience represents anyone besides yourself.

Your anecdotal experience differing from OP's does not make what he said inherently untrue.

I posted my resume on Indeed and it was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.

I get a phone call at least once every hour or two from an Indian recruiter with an American name who is trying to pitch me a 24 month contract-to-hire role working with technology that isn't mentioned on my resume or website.

I have to use call blocking apps just to maintain my sanity.

I run an XPS 13 with Ubuntu 16.04 and do software development for a living (so I use the laptop for 10+ hours a day).

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll be happy to answer... but long story-short, this is the best laptop I've ever touched or owned.

>Plex crashes constantly on my Roku. (This may no longer be true, as I haven't touched it in a year because it crashes so much). That's not low quality hardware, it's bad app.

The crash could very well be caused by some kind of incompatibility or issue with your server.

I'm sure that you've combed through your event logs on the server to verify this isn't the case, though.

>I expect a dedicated hardware device for streaming videos that can stream Netflix, Hulu, Sling, etc, to be able to stream Plex.

Why would you expect Plex, which plays back content served up by an environment which you control and maintain, to have similar compatibility as Netflix or Hulu, which plays back content served up by a multi-million dollar CDN infrastructure?

That's like saying "I expect my self-hosted WordPress blog to have the same level of reliability and usability as CNN.com" -- it's unreasonable to put the burden on WordPress/Plex when you are the one who manages the server that the content is served from.

Again: it seems to me that the issue is on your end, and not Plex's, because there are thousands of people who have no issues running Plex with Roku.

Purely out of curiosity: why isn't metadata available? Is it that you aren't naming/organizing your libraries correctly, or is it that you are consuming obscure media that isn't cataloged on any of the sites that power Plex's metadata functionality?

Either way, you could either:

a. Take the time to organize your library, like anyone who successfully uses Plex has.

or

b. Provide metadata to the open databases that Plex uses, to help both yourself and the next person who needs it.

The important thing to remember is that Plex is not made by wizards... it's software, and for it to catalog your library you need to name your files in a way that it can comprehend.

It seems a lot of people in this thread are blaming Plex for their own low-quality hardware and/or lack of knowledge.

I have a >10tb collection in Plex and stream to a Nexus Player (among many other devices, some over WAN) with zero issues. The biggest "issue" I've ever faced is that sometimes I need to lower my playback quality to 720p when I'm streaming over WiFi.

So glad I bought the lifetime Plex pass- I am happy to support the folks who made such a reliable and lovely product.

Generally speaking, if you are having issues with a product that is almost universally beloved by tens of thousands of paying customers, the issue is most likely on your end.

edit: The downvoters are going wild in this thread. Anyone who advocates Plex is being buried. For a moment I thought I was back on reddit!

>Once configured, don't plan on using the computer you setup the Media server on as it is always busy/ bogged down scanning files and transcoding video.

This is such a bogus statement. The impact that Plex has on your computer is directly tied to the processing power of said computer.

I run Plex with a >10tb media collection on my >2 year old desktop, and I am able to play games such as PUBG, DayZ, Arma 3, Overwatch, etc with absolutely no hindrance.

This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QVKMrH

edit: I'd also argue that Plex has a vastly superior interface, as well as metadata handling, compared to Kodi. Kodi is basically "the poor man's Plex."

She did not just sue her employer -- she gave interviews to news outlets, touting unproven allegations.

Do you think that Tesla should continue to pay someone who is actively and deliberately tarnishing their image, without giving them a chance to make things right (if they were ever wrong to begin with)?

This is very interesting. Could you elaborate or possibly share any resources you may have / know of on the matter?

I'd be interested in hearing more about your journey from fast food to software development.

Grats on the life change!

Purely curious: what's your sleep (quality, schedule) like?

I've recently begun waking up at 5:45am and have had a tough time adjusting. I find myself ready for bed at ~8pm more often than not.

I've been using AirVPN for a couple years and love it. They allow you to use OpenVPN instead of a proprietary client, which is nice.

I hope this may be helpful to someone just getting into Webpack 2. I built it from scratch as a learning exercise for myself, but ended up open sourcing it when I realized that this project may actually be useful!

Do you just roll into WalMart and buy the first $300 HP you see?

That's literally the only way I can see your anecdotal experience being truthful.

The PC marketplace is open, like the Android one. There's a lot of cruft to sift through, but it should only take about 1-2 hours of research to find the best laptop at any given time and any given price range for any given use-case.

It still isn't. People just like to complain about popular things on HN.

I am replying to you on an XPS 13 (model # 9350) and there is zero wobble.

Would you care to elaborate a bit?

In terms of build quality, the 2015+ XPS line is comparable (at least) to any Mac laptop offering.

>I don't want to waste my time dicking around with drivers and other such noise

Are you implying that PC laptops require you to "dick around with drivers?"

If so, you are basing your logic on non-facts.

Driver updates have been integrated with Windows Update for at least 5 years, now.

>Put simply; I don’t see any manufacturers building laptops at the same level of quality that Apple does, and yet, I can’t buy a product that is so tightly controlled, and designed to be obsolete in two years.

Dell has been making laptops of equal or better quality for a couple years, now.

The XPS line is absolutely stunning.
