I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

This. I'm tired of all short responses that don't want to discuss the problem or steer the topics to a direction.

My goto is:

convert -resize 50% in.png out.png

It reduces half the width and height, so usually ~4x in size.

Well, people tend to pick the easiest way to achieve an objective, even though the solution is not simple nor optimised.

The ability to rollback is indeed awesome. And it's built-in. I think you can do it in Arch-based distros but requires additional config.

That's why I always bring a laptop with me even on a holiday. So I could hack or learn something if I got stuck at the airport. The last time I didn't bring it was when my flight was delayed twice (total 12 hours) at the Frankfurt airport.

Beautifully explained. You remind me of the first lessons when I learned meditation.

I read in "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.

It's not that hard. I utilise Pomodoro techinque to set aside four 25m-40m sessions. Now it's just the matter of discipline. I block all distractions (emails, texting, entertainment, etc.) and coalesce them into a period of time.

Officially, it should be 7 hours a day. But normally I work 5-6 hours. The rest are wasted on distractions and context switching. But deep work (i.e. actually getting things done) is normally 2-3 hours.

I also count meetings and chatting with colleagues are actual work. Those sessions might seem superficial but the way we collaborate with others is also important.

I'm curious, what are you considering moving into?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Tried it out once and really impressive with the rollback functionality (Snapper, btrfs) and killer YaST. Fedora is my main OS for working now but will definitely consider to go back to Suse one day.
