Same, had to scroll too far to see another nixos user

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

I have had a couple T14s without issue, did you remember to change the suspend mode in the bios to Linux?

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 Everything else is at risk to be outdated or worse, confuse

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.

Tbh, these days WSL2 might be slightly better than macOS at being Linux. As it is Linux (in a very transparent vm) instead of posix or *nix

But for most dev work all three are good options. I've noticed that once you start deploying against stuff like kubernetes or, less so, doing docker stuff you run into limitations on Mac and wsl2. Just random weirdness, especially with new the m1 chips and say cockroachdb. At that point there's no substitute for the real thing :)

Feel like you only received half of, possible good, advice:

I used 'two years, up or out', in my career. Who cares if you work somewhere for a longer period of time as long you keep progressing in all the various metrics of career progression?

It's when things become stale that out is a good idea

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? :)
