I kinda just hold it all in my head and fix stuff when I notice it’s broken.

Curious how they define professional use, like my work desktop is windows, but all the servers are rhel

Aaah aaaaaaaaah aaaAaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaAaaaah fuck this shit, fuck it all fuck it fuck it fuck it.

I uSE aRcH Btw

To add to this, free/super cheap hardware is definitely available, to me personally it’s way more impressive that a candidate cobbled together a JBOD NAS from a stripping some old hardware from a school and is the remaining hardware to run some kind of Beowulf cluster on usb drives.

Alias sudo=run0

And to expand a little on your point, uniformity means devs can target specific optimizations/performance. I.e. this will run like this on a Steam medium system.

It is, you just have an idea, do some art and then glue it together with code.

Or until they’ll have an update on what happened/happens.

Naw, it’s closer to 0.5% but they talk about 8 times as much as everyone else.

I disagree about the table - if you’re interacting regularly across timezones you tend to convert everything to your local time anyway - India’s on lunch at 9am, US is starting at 14:00, because that’s how it fits into your day.

Best I’ve seen is a process scheduled on UK local time (including hour changes) running on a server that maintains Eastern local (including hour changes) but the process logs in EST ( and does not move with the hour)

To be fair you can totally bind an arbitrary number of spaces to tab in vi. I’ll dig out the syntax highlighting file some time. Oh and I use vim really.

There are no pros to tabs. Configure tabs to a number of spaces.

I use vi without syntax highlighting.

Not trying to pick a beef with Steve at all, very much respect his work. Or you for that matter. The question here is about workhorse PCs not gaming PCs. Gaming is a niche. Dell will absolutely sell you parts, or eBay or third party resellers. You’ve mentioned in your own post you can absolutely upgrade the GPU and PSU with standard consumer parts (even in a custom build you’d need cables specific to your modular power supply), even CPUs are upgradable within limits (again, with the exception of modern Ryzen when have you been able to upgrade more than 1 generation of CPU for a given socket?)

I’ll 100% agree Dell don’t conform to typical consumer standard parts that custom/small run builders use in a lot of cases, but to say they’re not upgradable or repairable just isn’t true. If someone was complaining their BMW gearbox wouldn’t bolt onto their ford engine without some modification they’d struggle to find anyone who finds that a remotely strange situation.

Cool story bro. Now fuck off and learn

You can absolutely repair with off the shelf parts, dell will sell you just about anything and will probably have it in stock for years, that’s literally what they do. What they typically don’t do is conform to consumer form factors/standards.

All respect to Steve, but in this regard he’s wrong - the parts might be proprietary in a lot of regards, but these machines are repairable af, they’re just not aimed at the average consumer. Local site support will rock up to your desk and stick a new display adapter in for some extra monitors or take them away and swap out broken parts and have the same PC on your desk next day. Big enterprises buy these machines precisely because they’re repairable and upgradable and getting stock typically isn’t an issue.

Except legally the burden is on Samsung to prove you damaged the battery. They don’t get to say “oh well you could have done xyz, denied”
