Howdy! There’s some engagement for yah

It’s nearly every other post on my lemmy everything feed. Jeeeerez give it a rest.

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of btrfs, in my limited sample size of one I had several episodes of esoteric errors and data loss. It’s anecdotal but filesystems have never been something to give me trouble in any other scenario to date. They just exist and do their job silently in my experience, except for btrfs.

Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can’t wait until HAMR is ready next!

Ruby! It’s a wonderful language with a fantastic community, mature frameworks, and active development on performance and core features.

I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed this. Absolutely infuriating. I hate self checkout because of shit like this

I don’t think titles directly transfer between companies, and yet the industry allows it. It’s a very useful tool for advancement.

Time on the job does not equate to skill. Some jobs force you to figure shit out that other jobs simply never expose you to. Other jobs expose you to lots of busywork and that isn’t going to make you a better engineer either.

I’ve met senior engineers with 3 years that are significantly more useful than senior engineers with 10 years. Individual motivation and willingness to learn matter the most to me.

I have used the ladder to my advantage and advise others to do the same. It’s a game, you don’t win by not playing.

Neat! Thanks for sharing

You have precisely described my experience with my latest laptop. I get probably 4 hours of battery life in this mode. After that my battery is probably at 20% or less which means that when I open the laptop there’s almost nothing I can do with it.

I had to figure out how to re-enable S3 sleep and now I’m struggling with my stupid Wi-Fi adapter which breaks every time I resume from sleep but all I have to do is toggle it and I’m back to running again. After doing this change my battery life in sleep will actually last at least a day now which is massive compared to what it used to be.
