Not enough info. What are you trying to actually accomplish here? If you’re stress testing and trying to measure how fast a server can process all those requests, use something like jmeter. You can tell it to do 100 concurrent threads with 10000 requests each, then call it a day.

Bluetooth sucks on all platforms. It may be worse on Linux, but given how often my coworkers on Mac and Windows have audio issues it meetings, not by much.

Get a good set of RF wireless headphones and only use Bluetooth when you’re traveling.

I think it’s only a time thing because at some point our poison meter fills up and we can’t take it anymore. In my case each of those time limits coincided with some stupid event. Like new management coming in and swinging their junk around trying to make an impression.

I think the main problem for my friend is the corporate politics. They say one thing, like “If you come on full time we’ll give you training for X.” And then months later there isn’t even a hint of that happening and they’re full of excuses. It seems like most companies pull that kinda crap, then get surprised when we quit and go somewhere else. Like yeah we have ADHD and autism and stuff, but we’re really fucking good at what we do so getting another job doesn’t take much. It’s just exhausting going through this every 1-2 years.

eta: I did work for myself for a bit. But dealing with finance people and VP’s trying to convince me that I wasn’t worth my contract rates was infuriating. It’s so hard to not say “we both know you’re lying and if you went through a firm you’d be paying 2-3x this much”. I have a much more relaxed job working for an organization teenage me would have dreamed about. So hopefully this is my forever job.

I think this is an issue that most, if not all, neurodivergent folks have. I stay at a place until it becomes unsustainable for me. Then I add the things that made that job hell to my list of “shit to avoid at the next job”. Ex: I will never work for another startup again. As far as I can tell they’re all hell. Honestly I think capitalism just isn’t made for us (or people in general).

I frequently switch between audio outputs (headset for calls and focused gaming, speakers for other use). I installed an audio switcher applet to make changing that easier and faster. But cosmic is perfect for me other than that.

I joined a team years ago where everyone would catch exceptions then throw a different exception in the catch, swallowing the original. Sometimes these were nested many layers. Troubleshooting was a nightmare.

I spent a week deleting all of them and told everybody that “try” was now a forbidden word outside of entry points.

Games like Baldur’s Gate assume you have at least some DnD experience. I remember playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time long ago and being really glad I played one session of DnD before it.

I have a cache drive in my NAS for reads, thinking about putting a second drive in there so I can have a read/write cache array. It makes a huge difference over just having spinning rust. I’d love an all-flash array, but 36TB of SSD would be very expensive right now.

Note to others reading this: If your main use case is gaming (or anything other than storing/processing buttloads of data), I’d suggest just getting a bigger pcie3 drive instead of a faster pcie4/5 drive. Going with a faster drive won’t be a noticeable difference, but having 2-3x the capacity (for the same price) will help.

The scheduler is limited but it can still schedule across all the threads and cores in a given system. It’s just doing it less efficiently. The headline is misleading.

The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.

This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It’s a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can’t imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.

Desktop or laptop? Do you need peripherals included? Honestly for under $500 I’d highly suggest looking at refurbished machines. You’ll be able to pick up an off-lease Dell or Lenovo or HP system for < $300.

This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.

As wraithcoop suggested, you can install additional software like rectangle to do the job. But why is that necessary in 2023? Window snapping has existed forever on Linux DEs and Windows since Vista.

“You’re holding plugging it in wrong.”

I’m amazed at how many professionals use Macs because Apple seems to hate power users. I had to use a Mac briefly recently and was amazed to find they still don’t have window snapping.

It also had no idea what to do with my monitor, couldn’t even detect the correct resolution. I’m guessing if I had bought a $3000 Apple monitor it would have worked immediately. But had to dive into “advanced settings” just to set the correct resolution.

If everybody could stop using Twitter, that’d be great.

If they wanted to make browsers less secure, they would do so in much more obvious ways.

The new proposal demands browsers automatically trust government created root certificates. That means any EU government can do a man-in-the-middle attack on any end user running that web browser, even users in other countries. There is no reason to do that other than to spy on people or to manipulate the content that they’re viewing.

If any government, or company for that matter, wants to make their own root cert and deploy it to all their users/machines they can already do that easily. A lot of companies that work with sensitive data already do this, and some companies (ex: symantec) provide solutions to do it very easily, so the IT team can see everything the users are doing.

This is what the company valued itself as being worth. Not what it’s actually worth. So I’m not sure if Elon is trying to over or under value here, but I’m guessing over.
