The only issues I’ve run into with older laptops are limited wifi speed/range, the inability to decode HD video streams efficiently, and battery life, which is mostly solved by a new battery, though efficiency isn’t always great with older devices.
That is because laptop is a misnomer. While technically possible, most of them have some sort of vents for either air intake or outlet there. Which is then blocked. And makes it cook. Even if they vent backwards/sideways only, they still cook because the little free space between bottom and table(or whatever surface) is still blocked.
I don’t understand why the author didn’t take medical leave. That’s exactly what this is for. You get reduced pay while on leave, though you can work with the company to see if they can fulfill a portion of that. My current employer covers 30%, while short-term covers 60%. 90% pay to be able to completely disconnect from work for several months is absolutely worth it.
It does sound like communication with the manager was poor, though. The manager should have been more empathetic to their situation (depends heavily on how comfortable the employee was with giving out this information).
There are many developers, especially those just getting into the field, that don’t understand how to work with WebGL. WebGL is a great fallback if you need/want more control, but having basic support for 3D elements is a great idea for someone that just wants to show it off.
> Applications could be exposing intents they assume will be used by trustworthy applications (i.e. apps in the Play Store).
This is a poor assumption to make. Any data coming into your application should be assumed to be malicious. This would be the same as a server just accepting any data made to its API calls without any validation.
OctoPrint only has a single main developer. They also spend a lot of time triaging bugs (https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/issues). I'm sure they'd appreciate any help they can get.
It should be clear by now that China is a single-point-of-failure for many industries globally. This is a step in the right direction, and I hope other countries follow suit.
Sounds like decent rhetoric to not get into the geopolitical aspects of this fight. Just write it off as diversifying the supply chain and then cut your biggest problem supplier out because they are not good for business.
My modern physics professor did this for all our assignments. He didn’t want to rush students to fill out answers, so he made the questions very hard. We had to really understand the mechanics in order to answer the questions. I retained so much more by learning this way when compared to wrote memorization, and it was fun having discussions with other students to help each other understand the concepts.
