Scissor for sure
I've been using one full time for about five years now without issue. Even kind of like having to move around a little
I'd like to be able to say it'll work, I've been gaming on Linux for years and just finished Doom Eternal at 5120x1440 at 120fps
But I have the previous generation top end cpu and gpu, 16 core something and a 5900xt iirc, so we can't quite compare
One thing I did notice though is that your cpu seems weirdly overloaded? Or at least, the windows values are very different from the Linux ones? Are you dual booting? Or did you maybe reset something in the bios whilst switching?
Just wondering if you might be looking in the wrong place
Is that cpu one of those with an embedded gpu? That you're maybe running the wrong hardware?
Nm, looked it up, it's a mobile cpu, no idea unfortunately
Although a bit long, I do like this almost impossible to ignore example of self documenting code :)
A header might be useful, although there's likely better ways to (not) document what each sql statement does.
But inline documentation? I'd suggest trying to work around that. Here's an explanation as to why: https://youtu.be/Bf7vDBBOBUA
If possible, and as much as possible, things should simply make enough sense to be self documenting. With only the high level concepts actually documented. Everything else is at risk to be outdated or worse, confuse
My advice to learning test automation in this form is: don't
Look up the testing trophy, try to do everything using any tool but Selenium until you absolutely have to. You'll notice that you can come very far using integration tests, you'll also notice the tests are fast and reliable. Something selenium tests rarely are.
For frontend, look at testing-library or storybook with test runners. Former is more lightweight but a hassle to debug, latter is heavier but much more visual and easy to maintain. Both are not flaky and fast and easy to run in a ci pipeline.
Run your tests as close as possible to the logic, you'll get the quickest feedback.
Once you're done with all this, make a happy flow E2E test or two. And I'd use typescript instead of Java. Then you have some hope of a frontend dev wanting to help you maintain it. And playwright instead of selenium, simply more modern and thought out
Pretty happy with nixos these days, after the initial (crazy) learning curve. But I really like the creative simplicity of this idea
No sure about 64gb, but for performance/watt and reliable Linux I can really recommend the Amd p16s and t16(s?) machines from Lenovo. Have about seven in the office and they are excellent.
I too, as someone in devops, am wondering what you need that much memory for. Do you simply really like VMs? :)
Also, have you considered doing the really heavy stuff remotely? Whenever I need desktop type power (16 physical cores and 128gb memory) I simply wake the desktop, ssh into it and do it there.
I thought it had to do with the fact that most themes on Linux consist of a large collection of dotfiles, dots, rice. But that might just be me
As a company owner and lead dev of 15 years, I'll be honest. If someone started with some of the barrage of detailed questions I see here I'd start to wonder whether I'd want to hire that person.
Although then again, I don't even ask all that many questions myself. Prefer to get a (technical) conversation going whilst gauging intelligence, speed and flexibility of thought and general character.
Thrn again, we handle all the main (software development) concerns I see here and I tend to be very flexible as long as someone is productive.
What I'm trying to say is, relax? :)
I'm self taught, been at it for 15 years now and am currently the director/part owner of an IT company. There's only seven of us, but it's barely been six months so growing quite quickly.
I'd be interested in hiring someone like you, I like the spirit. Keep at it, like others have said, you'll get there. The only thing is, I'm not sure about more all remote devs. We have one all remote dev already and it's hard when most people are in the office regularly and one isn't to not have that person feel a little left out. You might be better off with a true all remote company
Feel free to dm me though (can you? I'm new at this lemmy thing)
Same, had to scroll too far to see another nixos user
