Clean, concise, no surprises, dependable.

Smartwatches, Phones, (most) Cars, TVs, ... all of these are mass produced, and as such completely obsolete in a few years, even if they are sold as "premium" products for a month's salary.

Unique, manufactured Design pieces are... timeless. It's a piece of art. And I say this without any inclination to ever join that market.

Intel and Google apparently relied on them heavily in their formative years. But:

- they should be cascading (so conflicting OKRs between departments should not happen)

- you should never, ever tie them to individual performance results/compensation/rewards

I remember reading a tip more than a decade ago from a senior developer, that you should always have pen and paper next to your keyboard, to take notes, visualize problems, keep notes of where you are. Most of the thinking happens there.

When I'm working on bigger things alone, it helps me keep track or the bigger picture, how to keep separation of concern und understand where my abstractions started leaking.

Moving that pen and paper to digital unfortunately was never low-barrier for me. I thought about acquiring a reMarkable for that purpose, but it isn't perfect either.

I used excalidraw in the past, but it also does not integrate too well with my environment.

Now, with everyone being remote I would really love to have something that not only replaces my own scribbling and conceptualizing, but also serves as "whiteboard" for collaboration. I clearly clearly miss the whiteboard when discussing abstract things/ideas/problems with peers.

The app mentioned in the post seems a little abandoned unfortunately. Does someone out there use something similar?

> [...] GPUs that run HDMI over DVI [...]

I thought HDMI and DVI use the same signalling (at least the 'digital part' of DVI, was it DVI-D?), just over a different connector?

In my memory only the connectors competed for adoption, and Home Entertainment industry opted for HDMI and the PC-industry opted for DVI, while the signalling was not contested (besides DVI also being able to carry analog signalling with full spin-out, and HDMI carrying audio instead). My memory might not serve me well here though.

I never thought HDMI would win :( but it makes sense I guess - Computers/their use changed :(

For private drivers it is not illegal per se. But if you have an accident, they (police, prosecution, insurance) will quickly blame it on unfit shoewear.

There is (legally accepted) consensus in Germany and Austria that a regular, closed shoe without heels gives you best control.

Barefoot is IMHO treated unfairly, if you're used to drive barefoot. And living in a country where people wear shoes most of the time, they will assume you're not used to it.

The performance/power gains come from the own ARM-chips and a OS/build system/framework fine tuned to make use of that

True leaders are role models, not higher-ups, the ones where authority comes from competence, not position, showing the way, not just telling what to do, facilitating self-organization, giving direction, prioritizing, giving vision and perspective, not orders, fostering intrinsic motivation.

Good, because I am a fan of yadm, but I also don't feel the need to switch ;)

- Stuff going on you're not aware of?

- Things spiraling out of control/becoming self-directed?

- You forgetting what you did or said a few months/years ago, and getting mad on others in consequence?

- Your intentions not well understood?

All of this is on you (the leader). That's reason for resignation.

The behavior around it is just childish IMO. I wonder how this affects him being able to do his job.

If this is true: Is there any possible explanation for such a statement where leadership comes out unscathed?

You can't automate checking for random strings, right?

Applies to all of my devices btw. I don't like Android having to use an old kernel, I didn't like MacOS running some ancient Darwin/BSD thing, etc. The required effort for backporting worries me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying OSS has no vulns.

If we talk about ultra-low-power platforms, e.g. energy-harvesting IoT devices, 1MB is still quite a lot.

If we are going to argue that Rust can compete with C/C++, it needs to have similar performance, also regarding binary size.

And I'm not offended. I just have zero idea what your issue is. I never gave it any second thought what gender the person is. I don't care and I wonder what you're reading into it.
