hspak | 4 years ago | on: Lenovo tablet forced update shows un-dismissable, un-mutable, ad notifications
For my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen 5), I download the ISOs from here: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netb...
And I use my re-write of geteltorio to flash it on a USB drive: https://github.com/hspak/geteltorito-zig
I've done this multiple times now without issues, but your milage by vary!
hspak | 7 years ago | on: Fuck Your 90 Day Exercise Window (2016)
Does anyone actually understand the consequences of turning ISO's into NSO's?
It's easy for someone to say "oh yeah, just convert the ISOs to non-quals and give me my 10 year exercise window". What does it actually mean for the companies (and yourself on the other side) to support this?

It looks like they've consistently been on the high end judging by their past few years: https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/de.html
hspak | 7 years ago | on: Fragmentation Is Why Desktop Linux Failed [video]
Is there anything preventing the Linux Foundation jumping in and officially supporting a desktop environment? Is it because the two main DE’s are already more-or-less backed by a foundation and the LF hopping in would fragment it even further?
Ubuntu tried for a while to lead their own efforts (MIR/Unity) and in the end, they pulled the plug and decided to just adopt Wayland/Gnome. Do people consider this a good change for the linux desktop landscape?

Ha! Satire aside:
With high quality open source publishing tools like Hugo[1] and Ghost[2], and free hosting from GitLab/GitHub pages, there's little excuse not to self-publish.
Even using a paid service like Squarespace would be a step up in my opinion.

It sounds pretty neutral to me.
hspak | 7 years ago | on: An entrepreneur says 32-hour weeks ‘killed work ethic’ at his startup
I looked up the company on Crunchbase and they're in the 100-250 range. I think having a lax work policy is something that doesn't scale. Having gone through growth at company where it grew from ~100 to ~300, work starts getting less personal at around 150+ (personal opinion backed by zero facts). When work becomes less personal, I think it's easier to become complacent. You do the 9-5 -- do your job and go home. If the company policy says you can take Fridays off, hell why not take it off? I don't think there's a way to keep up work output with an overly lax work policy.
hspak | 7 years ago | on: Is Rails still relevant in 2018?
Rails is still probably the most productive* web framework out there. It's got a mature ecosystem that covers it's weaknesses.
* productive as in easy to get started, easy to iterate, easy to get things done.
hspak | 7 years ago | on: M3: Uber's Open Source Large-Scale Metrics Platform for Prometheus
What part of borgmon is considered user-facing? The client library? The /metrics endpoint?
I'm trying to think in terms of Prometheus and how it could be (is?) over-engineered.
I have never seen/used borgmon, sorry for the ignorance.

The problem with the Gretzky quote in this context is that in hockey, you don't lose points for missed shots.

hspak | 10 years ago | on: Curing Our Slack Addiction
It sounds like a signal to noise ratio problem. The problem is that there wasn't a sound way to filter noise (multiple channels failed) so they were forced to deal with all the noise to make sure they didn't miss anything relevant.
The constant policing they mention at the end was probably enough overhead for them to consider alternatives, though I don't understand what they mean with this quote: "Furthermore, Slack was not designed for the deep, meaningful conversations that are needed to move 1Password forward."
On the surface, it sounds like a people/culture problem, but I'm sure there were other factors at AgileBits that contributed.

How so? You try again when you fail like that Thomas Edison quote: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
hspak | 10 years ago | on: Lyft’s Logan Green on Building Uber’s ‘Happier’ U.S. Rival
I find that most drivers (that I've had) in SF drive for both Lyft and Uber so it feels wrong to say Lyft drivers are "happier", but I'm just a single data point.

Only reason I still use Dropbox is because 1password integrates so nicely with it.
hspak | 10 years ago | on: Replace a running Debian installation by Arch remotely over ssh
This reminds me of when the Twitch Installs Arch Linux took off, someone got a script to run that installed gentoo over the arch install.

I also have a Framework 13 (11th gen intel) which has terrible suspend battery life (also loses 2-3%/hour like the newer AMD version)– I was hoping that the AMD chips would fare better, but it seems not.
