I think we owe it to the billionaires to let them have the inaugural ride; they've done so much for us.

Got this installed on all my work machines - if you're wanting to stick a screenshot on Jira or Slack with a couple of arrows, wavy lines, or a bit blurred out then it's dead quick and has just the functionality that you need. Yes, it's simple and lacks a lot of 'power tools'. Sometimes that's just what you need, tho.
Thought the text said that they were going to do Grimes. I'm up for some crimes, tho.
Nah, that there's an armsadillo. You can tell, because he has two.
Glad to see that "social media influencer" is a real job.

Writing this on a Tuxedo Pulse 14 / gen 3 as we speak. Great little laptop. I'd wanted something with a few more pixels than my previous machine, and there's a massive jump from bog-standard 1080p to extremely expensive 4K screens. Three megapixel screen at a premium-but-not-insane price, compiles code like a champion, makes an extremely competent job of 3D gaming, came with Linux and runs it all perfectly.
"Tuxedo Linux", which is their in-house distro, is Ubuntu + KDE Plasma. Seemed absolutely fine, although I replaced it with Arch btw since that's more my style. Presumably they're using Debian for the ARM support on this new one? This one runs pretty cold most of the time, but you definitely know that you've got a 54W processor in a very thin mobile device when you try eg. playing simulation games - it gets a bit warm on the knees. "Not x64" would be a deal-breaker for my work, but for most uses the added battery life would be more valuable than the inconvenience.
Finest advice possible for any Linux sysadmin.
Any decent conductor is going to to vary the beat based on how long it takes for sound to fill the venue in question. Beethoven's choices for the music halls in Vienna might have made sense then, but not so much today.
One of the things that's always annoyed the conductors that I've worked with is that we always ignore the dynamics in his music. Beethoven's markings are expressive, subtle. And we always play his stuff louder than indicated.
Agreed. JSON solves:
- the 'versioning' problem, where the data fields change after an update. That's a nightmare on packed binary; need to write so much code to handle it.
- makes debugging persistence issues easy for developers
- very fast libraries exist for reading and writing it
- actually compresses pretty damn well; you can pass the compress + write to a background thread once you've done the fast serialisation, anyway.
For saving games, JSON+gzip is such a good combination that I'd probably never consider anything else.
I thought that it was encrypted if your home directory was encrypted? The impression that I got was that it was just a SQLite database stored in the clear. The user must certainly be able to make queries of that database in order for it to work, so even if it's hosted by a non-user service, malware running locally will still be able to exfiltrate the data.
Yeah; as a native and fairly well-educated speaker, I'm fucked if I can form the past participles of some of our verbs
If I swim across a river, is it now the swimmed river? Swum river? Swam river?
If I sneak into a room, have I sneaked? Snuck? Both sound wrong.
Didn't find anything ambiguous about 'costed', it works for me.
