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 Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen 5), I download the ISOs from here: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netb...

And I use my re-write of geteltorio to flash it on a USB drive: https://github.com/hspak/geteltorito-zig

I've done this multiple times now without issues, but your milage by vary!

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?

It looks like they've consistently been on the high end judging by their past few years: https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/de.html

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?

Ha! Satire aside:

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.

It sounds pretty neutral to me.

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.

Rails is still probably the most productive* web framework out there. It's got a mature ecosystem that covers it's weaknesses.

* productive as in easy to get started, easy to iterate, easy to get things done.

What part of borgmon is considered user-facing? The client library? The /metrics endpoint?

I'm trying to think in terms of Prometheus and how it could be (is?) over-engineered.

I have never seen/used borgmon, sorry for the ignorance.

Potentially related to this issue over 5 years ago? https://it.slashdot.org/story/12/03/06/0136243/amd-confirms-...

The problem with the Gretzky quote in this context is that in hockey, you don't lose points for missed shots.

Can we change the title to be not click-baity?

It sounds like a signal to noise ratio problem. The problem is that there wasn't a sound way to filter noise (multiple channels failed) so they were forced to deal with all the noise to make sure they didn't miss anything relevant.

The constant policing they mention at the end was probably enough overhead for them to consider alternatives, though I don't understand what they mean with this quote: "Furthermore, Slack was not designed for the deep, meaningful conversations that are needed to move 1Password forward."

On the surface, it sounds like a people/culture problem, but I'm sure there were other factors at AgileBits that contributed.

When is the away status insufficient?

How so? You try again when you fail like that Thomas Edison quote: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I find that most drivers (that I've had) in SF drive for both Lyft and Uber so it feels wrong to say Lyft drivers are "happier", but I'm just a single data point.

Stoppelman tweeted a couple hours ago that they're going to expand support into AZ.

Only reason I still use Dropbox is because 1password integrates so nicely with it.

This reminds me of when the Twitch Installs Arch Linux took off, someone got a script to run that installed gentoo over the arch install.

You can call command line bullshit, but at the end of the day it has the least amount of abstraction meaning more visibility in what's actually happening. Visibility is always nice, especially when something breaks.

Say there was this nice GUI that built and setup lot's of projects for you. Who's responsibility is it to make sure that everything it supports stays supported?

This read like a really angry rant against modern culture in general. Yes, politicians don't always make very good choices and yes people spend a lot of time on the web now. This is no reason to call the urban population "clueless."

Rural life is also unscalable. Rural citizens won't always be more knowledge in agriculture. They do not have more or less "common sense" than the urban population.

I'd recommend reading Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. He explains how this is not really the case. It was written back in 2007; I'm sure there's more research out there to prove this point.

What would be the point of having Chrome OS on a tablet? I can't think of anything that the Chrome OS would be better at doing on a tablet over Android.

I feel like overclockability is the last thing Nvidia should be focusing on for laptops. The trade-off for overclocking is heat generation which is undesirable for laptops by far. These cards generate a lot of heat as is.

Applying DeMorgan's Law to reduce a few characters in JS seems really overkill...

Reading this makes it seem hardly worth saving a few bytes over.

Hmm, not sure how this reaches 1 on HN. It's a pretty clickbait article with lackluster content.

tl;dr Rosemary might improve your ability to remember reminders. They say the results were 'measurable but modest' and was enough to continue researching.

It's obviously Googol lines.

Wasn't the Tesla Powerwall designed to address this exact issue? It seems like there's a pretty clear path to meeting Hawaii's all renewable energy by 2045.

So the concern is the economy slowing down due to the large number of current truck drivers who are going to be out of jobs in the near future. I don't expect there to be a sudden drop.

First comes the autopilot trucks where they still need to be manned. Sure the drivers will likely take a hit in pay, they'll still have a job. Then comes the fully autonomous trucks, removing the drivers although. I see this being a gradual transition, not a cliff like the article mentions.

"Basically, the only real barrier to the immediate adoption of self-driven trucks is purely legal in nature, not technical or economic."

I feel like this is such a huge assumption considering any type of autonomous driving has not been seen use anywhere yet.
