Ah right, thank you, I missed that somehow

I wonder how much this will affect the power usage during boot on my laptop with its integrated AMDGPU. Granted, boot time is fairly short so hopefully this won’t really matter.

I’m tempted to publish an NPM package to do so as a joke, but I fear that it’d get used seriously

Amazing

Oh wow, this is amazing info. Thanks!

I feel like this is a perfect encapsulation of how an experienced self-aware developer thinks. Experience really beats the hard stances out of you. I find myself saying “it depends” and “a bit of column A, bit of column B” often, like a cheap kids toy

His take strangely acknowledges that defects are caused by programmers, yet doesn’t want to improve the tools we use to help us not make these mistakes. In summary, git gud.

Experience has taught me that I’m awfully good at finding and firing foot guns, and when I use a language that has fewer foot guns along with good linting, I write reliable code because I tend to focus on what I want the code to do, not how to get there.

Declarative functional programming suits me down to the ground. OOP has been friendly to me, mostly, but it also has been the hardest to understand when I come back to it. Experience has given me an almost irrational aversion to side effects, and my simple mind considers class members as side effects

Yeah, this is my colleagues waiting for me, poor bastards

I thought that as long as the kernel is new enough, the Radeon driver should already be in the kernel

Annoyingly this feature isn’t available in Edge on Linux

I’m thinking evaporative cooling (paired with refrigerative cooling)

Unfortunately the choice of desktop environment matters a lot when talking about features like this

I suggest trying KDE instead, as XFCE is far from the user friendly interface your used to with Windows. Some DEs are good for new users, XFCE isn’t one of them

Whoever suggested Xubuntu for a Windows user is a bit optimistic
