Hahaha.

If you don’t know about this, it’s interesting too, if you go to the “authentication screen (SDDM)”, you can set your configs to your login screen too, like themes, icon themes, this keyboard config.

At the keyboard section, “turn on numlock on startup” (something like this, I use in the portuguese language)

Some things in my mind:

• Use an easy to use distro with the software you want it to run (the software that sometimes isn’t in your distro repositories and you may need to take some more advanced steps to use) and good documentation, ubuntu based distros like mint or arch based distros like cachyos (in my opinion, cachyos is the new best distro for beginners, as it has the best software library, configs, documentation (their specific documentation on the website together with the arch wiki) and gaming packages)
• For your desktop environment, choose on what you are accostumed to and on what you want to do with it, Gnome is very polished and has good touch features that are missing in every other DE, KDE is very desktop centric and can be tuned (should be tuned sometimes, like with numlock when starting the pc), etc
• For games, steam, heroic game launcher and lutris are very good suggestions, each has its use case. A local wine prefix with all the windows configs (vcredist and .net runtimes) and dxvk, and vkd3d-proton, are good to have, sometimes you want to play some games that aren’t on the official stores. Always check protondb for compatibility and solutions
• For photoshop, you can pirate it (there are some github repos and youtube videos showing how to do it, but it has some bugs), or you can replace it, like with photogimp (interface changes, extra filters, etc) for gimp, krita, blender, etc, for video editing, there’s davinci resolve, the free version, the paid version and the pirated version
• Always use libreoffice, not openoffice

Today i have seen:

if (var === true || var === ‘true’ || var === “true”)

I’m just fortunate enough to not work with the frontend at our very backend service, but I always hear things that shouldn’t be even allowed in this planet.

One tip: gnome on a tablet is amazing, the best way to use a tablet.

I have a ThinkPad x1 tablet gen 2.

how come that they can circumvent them?

Copilot writing all the unit tests and passing, while the unit tests don’t test anything or test the wrong thing. Passing the wrong thing to the services that consume their services, so it seems it works, but the service downstream just doesn’t work anymre.

Oh, now I understand what you said and agree with it.

Just annoyed, I have some important work to do and then bam, a Teams call on the code we wrote and they broke. I would like to propose some help for them to understand better their system, yes.

I showed an error to them, as their project is having a problem with the mock that I have built (for better managing and testing the dev environment) for the entire system and might cause very big problems when encountered in prod (very probable it will happen when the project will be used more, in some time in the near future), they didn’t fix it, it was encoutered 1 month ago.

Talking to the boss seems a bad idea, yeah.

I’m thinking about doing a teaching session with the whole team (for the whole project), to explain things in the grand scheme of things of how they work, this might help with what each part of the code does. The project is huge, but the teams are medium sized and we are hiring a lot of people, so it might be good for all to know a little bit more.

The place I work has all that and even more, I think these kinds of errors that happen make upper management even more draconian with the rules (and we already have A LOT of rules).

If resources are going from one team to another, and they have separate management, that damn well better be coordinated through your boss. At the very least C.C. at the start and end of the project.

It happened inside their project, not in communication with our part of the whole. It happened communicating with the code we wrote for them, but we didn’t explain our code to them, so it might be a little bit of our fault, even if it was in the documentation and the tasks that were provided to us, the json was part of the documentation.

Hahaha, thanks!

Yeah, I feel it might be a management issue too.

Unfortunately, everyone knows about the other team, but I feel they aren’t guided by their boss, Idk but I heard that they are lost on the project, but on that Idk how to help, but at least I expect them to test the code they produce, some of them test, but a lot of them don’t.

I’m going to try to help when asked, but it seems they need more senior devs (I’m only a junior dev) or some form of “training” for their project.

Not our boss, their boss. We’re basically helping because of the spirit of the team.

They will not get fired and I don’t think that they getting fired would be good, I just want for them to learn about the system they work on and have more testing on their part. I want to work on my system, because I like it, only wanting to help when it’s needed, not when it’s not a good job on anothers team part.

Yes, from my personal experience:

It’ll be a lot faster.

Edit: there’s ollama-cuda on the repos and alpaca-ai on the AUR, but I changed from the self managed to use the local ollama server. For games, there’s lutris, wine-cachyos, proton-cachyos, dxvk-mingw-git and vkd3d-proton-mingw-git all on the repos, so dxvk and vkd3d (the translation layers from directx to vulkan) are updated when the system is updated, but need to be installed with the provided scripts to work automagically after that.

Zram is good, i would use lz4 as a compression method, it uses a lot less CPU than zstd and compression makes it around 50% bigger than compressed using zstd (50% compression vs 33% compression on zstd). So on CPU bound scenarios, it holds better than on zstd in my opinion. Same on btrfs, it feels a lot faster on lzo than on zstd.

Oracle database should have only one destination: The garbage bin

In my experience, papers has better compatibility with devices that only rely on touchscreen, have used since it launched on my tablet and it’s good.

I started using linux in 2011, but went full linux nerd in 2014/2015, while still in high school. Changed distros, changed OSs, changed everything, but full time it was linux all along, from ubuntu, to elementary os, to arch, to hackintosh, to solus, to endeavouros, to a lot of distros, but now i’m stable at cachyos (the optimized packages are amazing, ngl).
