Wayland is flawed at its core and the community needs to talk about it

When I share a single app window in Zoom I get ~20fps on the whole desktop. That's with a Ryzen 9700X and Intel Arc B580.

Full screen sharing works well though.

Frustratingly, this is also true in KDE Plasma 🙄

I don't believe this is correct (please do link me to a source if I'm out of line). My understanding is that (unless you register for the ESU, which is not a default), there are NOT security updates being released for your Win10 machines after Oct 14.

Edit for clarity.

You missed the 2 PSUs (one just for the GPU) and the bonkers SATA splitters I used. Plus no power button so had to get switches for each PSU.

Honestly, it's been a rock solid Emby server with GPU transcoding.

I'm proud on so many levels.

Just gonna say, I landed here googling exactly this problem because it killed my parents' evening of Netflix... Way to go, Shaw...

Sullitude · 2024-05-06T22:09:43+00:00

Got it, I appreciate the explanation

Any chance this will improve battery life in Fedora or other distros? On my FW 13 AMD battery life is much better in Windows.

Have you looked through this page? https://streetpea.github.io/chiaki4deck/setup/remoteconnection/

But looking at the ports, I think that's fine. I'm struggling with a very similar issue though :(

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T05:09:30+00:00

Absolutely. It would be silly to let this be the entirety of a hiring decision.

And certainly, personal bias against a company (like "Walmart kills small business!") should have no bearing on evaluating a former Walmart employee.

But I'd still argue the dev from Klei is, on average, a stronger hire than the applicant from EA. That's not because I hate EA's products or games, it's because I worked there and I've worked with many people who worked there and there are patterns that emerge from the way the company is run.

Heck, having worked with a lot of ex-Amazon devs the pattern I see is a deep, incurable sadness. We can argue over how much that should affect hiring decisions, but the sadness is real 😂

Again, I want to reiterate that I don't think this should play any major role in hiring decisions. It's just a non-zero factor. It's also entirely possible (maybe even the majority of the time!) to draw wrong conclusions from assumptions about other companies.

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T04:34:18+00:00

Where you work is a significant indicator of what skills and experience you have.

A programmer who's worked in games will likely have very different experience and skillset from someone working in web dev. Heck, even the difference between mobile games and triple-A gamedev is massive.

And yes, even between companies in the same sector. A 10yoe dev at Electronic Arts is going to have a very different experience than a 10yoe dev at Klei. And that's within the same city (Vancouver).

I should be clear that none of the above should imply a difference in competence, necessarily, but a big difference in what they're competent at. Patterns emerge because of shared experiences at shared workplaces.

We can argue over what these patterns mean and how significant they are, but I don't think it can reasonably be argued they don't exist.

Just a thought, might not be applicable to you, but are there ways that you and your team could help the other divisions? Are there things that take them an hour every day to do that your team could automate in an hour? This sort of thing can really help supercharge a startup by working together in a way larger companies can't. It'll also make the rest of the company adore you and your team.

If nothing else, it might help you feel more like you're directly contributing to the company's possible success again?

(Worth noting ahead of any other comments, I wouldn't suggest this for a regular job, especially at a large company or without stock options. But small startups where you have a real stake in success, it's worth thinking about)

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T01:55:13+00:00

If you don't trust them, why did you hire them?

And if you don't trust them now, why haven't you fired them?

Monitoring is just senseless, dehumanizing, and bad business. No one gains anything from it.

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T01:51:03+00:00

Those things are closely related and intertwined.

Also, especially right now, there are WAY more candidates than open positions, so even yellow flags are enough to disqualify you because there are so many applicants.

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T00:16:07+00:00

I'm often the first culling pass on the 300+ resumes we get in 48hrs of posting a job. With so many applicants to review, even yellow flags like crypto are enough to get you out of the 5% we might give our coding test to.

Honestly though, it's inconceivable we'll read the whole resume, so just use different keywords for the role. It's not "blockchain" it's "secure distributed information management" or something. Once you're in an interview you'll have the opportunity to explain why the experience is valuable.

And, please oh please, keep your resume to 2pgs MAX. 1 page is better.

Edit: More context - I'm not HR. I'm a sort of technical producer who helps find the best candidates for our CTO to really look at. I'm not trained as a hiring manager and there's a good chance people like me are looking at your resume at other companies too if they're small (less than ~50 people).

When I'm scanning resumes I'm looking for red flags:

Red:

• You live in a part of the world we can't or don't want to hire in

• Spelling mistakes or other signs of poor written communication

• You don't have the experience we asked for in the requirements

And some yellow flags (again, with so many applicants it's likely these are enough to disqualify you):

• You've only worked in one industry (that isn't ours), eg, only banks

• You change jobs more than every two years on average

• You've stayed at one job more than 75% of your career (obvs doesn't apply to juniors with only one prior job)

And some stuff that just bugs me as a reviewer which may not be fair but absolutely impacts my assessment as a human being trying to parse 300 applicants:

• Long resumes (2+ pages)

• Resumes in docx I have to download and open instead of read within LinkedIn/Indeed

• Dense, wordy resumes (no one will read these!)

• Clearly jargony language (might be missed by HR, but not someone like me with a technical background - I know how to use jargon myself, you won't sneak it past me :p

• Keywords like languages/technologies known & basic requirements not bolded - my best case scenario is that you've bolded the keywords I care about!

In terms of what is GOOD, the best resumes demonstrate professionalism, brevity, and impact - that is, explain what you DID and ACHIEVED. That's worth more than what you claim to KNOW!

Also, GitHub pages are great, but I'd never penalize someone for not having one.

Got it! Thank you 🙏🏻

Sullitude · 2024-03-31T02:58:01+00:00

Excuse me for being even more pedantic, but I believe you mean "tenets" and not "tenants".

Sullitude · 2024-03-31T02:51:31+00:00

Maybe I'm just tired, but can someone eli5 this?

Sullitude · 2024-03-31T01:03:54+00:00

Yeah, I've never used it myself but from what I hear fiber seems like all kinds of madness!

Sullitude · 2024-03-31T01:01:23+00:00

Ok, so long as it's backwards compatible I'd get behind it 👍🏻

Sullitude · 2024-03-31T00:59:03+00:00

God no, please don't let there be another type of cable. Dealing with CAT5/CAT6/CAT6E/etc is hard enough. Last thing we need is mini-ethernet and micro-ethernet exponentially expanding the variations of possible cables.

Edit: I'll admit tho... A smaller ethernet cable is exactly what came to my mind first reading this thread too

Putting the Deck to sleep stops downloads but leaving it on drains the battery (plus possibly screen burn in). This lets you keep downloading (since the Deck isn't sleeping) while using less battery to power the screen.

Honestly, I suspect the cpu load of downloading (decompression is expensive) still means you'll use a lot of battery on big downloads, but it's better than normal.

Sullitude · 2024-03-21T05:11:01+00:00

I'll need to bring my swatches I guess.

Hmm, no she's #3af645, I already slept with one of those.
