Not quite correct. For html, that is to signal standard compliance, you can leave it away and the browser will still handle it. For the bash one, all (most) shell scripts use .sh, so you need to give a shebang to tell the loader which executable (sh, bash, zsh, csh, …) to use

Also on Linux xdg does take file extensions into account, just executables do not

You can start steam just fine without the packages. In fact, if you install without them, it’ll ask you to install them every time, but you can skip that and it’ll work, just 32bit games won’t launch

Edit: Looks like I’m partially wrong, as pointed out by a commenter below, steam currently only launches the 32-bit version of the client, despite support for a 5l64-bit client

Eine Minute später kommt der Zug, der vor zwei Stunden kommen hätte sollen, neues Problem

It’sintended to be used when the cookies are actually required for the app to work. For example, to preserve your login, you need a cookie, no way around. Unfortunately, as mentioned by others, it’s often abused

Does “Database > Merge from Database” not work for your case? I remember it helping when I had a similar situation

Secure boot means only signed code can run in the kernel/ring 0. Grub, as the loader, needs to be signed as well. Basically anything with system privileges needs to be signed. If I remember right you need to enroll the signing key on installation, and the rest is handled automatically, but you can’t use any custom kernel or kernel drivers.

Not a problem if you stick to Ubuntu packages. All packages in the default apt repositories contain signed stuff, so you can install drivers (graphics, virtualbox, …) like normal. I had it accidentally enabled when I initially installed and only noticed when I tried to build custom drivers myself.

555 is still in beta, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something doesn’t work. That said, I haven’t experienced what you have (on GTX 1070 TI), though using 555 causes lots of kernel errors for me. Checking dmeg might reveal something in your case as well.

Usually we don’t distinguish between many2one and one2many, since it’s the same just viewed from the other entity.

There is one more class though, which is one2one. That is, the entities have a direct relationship. Sometimes this also includes the case where you have zero or one, i.e. the relation is optional on one side. This can be accomplished with an FK plus unique constraint or by merging the tables.

streaming small commits straight into the trunk

The image even calls it like that

Some things don’t have good CI/tests, so it doesn’t make sense to include the build step, especially on a small team where we trust each other. But yes, it’s not good practice, and we don’t do this on every project, but sometimes it’s necessary to adjust the flow to the specific project

With git. Every time we start work, we pull. After every commit, we push (and pull/merge/rebase) if necessary.

We do, for two 2-3 person projects, where no code reviews are done. This is mostly because (a) it’s “just” a rewrite and (b) most new functionality is small and well-defined. For bigger features a local branch is checked out and then merged back later. Commits are always up-to-date, which makes it much easier to test integration of new featues.

Pretty sure the commenter above meant that the their RAM was advertised as X GiB but they only got X GB, substitute X with 4/8/16/your amount

You can set the initial value directly in /etc/environment, did you check that? It could also be set only for your user, so it might be in ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile` (or the rc file for your shell if you’re not using the default bash).

Edit: I suppose you could also have added a startup script in /etc/init/ or /etc/init.d/, or in /etc/rc.local

I use it for everything, because I connected my external monitors through the eGPU. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME has a few methods for running only selected applications via the eGPU, but I haven’t tried them. Edit: See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/External_GPU#Xorg for eGPU specific setups.

Can confirm, I’m using a dock (from Razor) daily without problems. Hot switching doesn’t work though, you need to restart X/your display manager to connect or disconnect the eGPU. I’d recommend the gswitch utility to configure the graphics card to be used (on X11). Haven’t tested much on Wayland, but I know that at least Gnome (Wayland only) has trouble mixing eGPU and the internal display if that is important.
