- I had to research and create a bashscript with these cmds to get better defaults / fix stuff:

-------

# Longer timeout for backlit keyboard

echo 5m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/brightness

# This is to stop touchpad from beeing to sensitive while typing

syndaemon -t -k -i 1.0 -d

# Fix headphone hissing

amixer -c PCH cset 'name=Headphone Mic Boost Volume' 1

---------

- Wireless networking performs way worse then on my macbook pro 2015.

- Bad palm rejection on the touchpad bites me all the time, even though I tweaked it with above script.

- Power supply stopped working after ~6 months. Dell sent me a new one though.

- Feels more sluggish then the older MacBook Pro 2015 even though the specs are better.

- Battery-life already feels ... bad.

- When I close screen and opens it back up it's very slow to re-connect to the WLAN. Again, my older MacBook Pro is so much faster.

- Ubuntu have some bad defaults for how certain things work. For example, when I connect to a bluetooth-speaker the default isn't that the volume-buttons on the keyboard controls the bluetooths-speakers volume.

I really wanted to like this laptop, but I'll most likely go latest MacBook Prop for my next. Even though I enjoy the power of pure linux.. and the keyboardlayout better then on a Mac.

There's also some rough edges, some of them I could solve.

Touchpad is supersensitive. If you're typing a longer sentence suddenly you could jump out of the input/text-field cause your thumbs touched it. Tweakable, got better with "syndaemon -t -k -i 1.0 -d".

I think the keyboard backlight turned off too quick, tweakable with "echo 5m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout"

The WLAN doesn't come online as fast as I would like it to after closed screen and sleepmode. Way quicker on my MacBook Pro (2015). Also feels like I have more net-problems when the WLAN-signal is weak when compared to my MacBook Pro. Mosh in a terminal is great for keeping connections from a laptop to servers though.

Bluetooth syncing to wireless speakers and similar isn't as fluid and automatic as from Win 10.

The worst part is a constant lowlevel hissing when using headphones. I haven't been able to solve that yet :/.

But overall I really like the keyboard, the screen, the formfactor and Ubuntu 16.

Continuous hissing sound with headphones

Open alsamixer and set "Headphone Mic Boost" gain to 10 dB (See discussion on reddit). Note that this does reduce the volume slightly.

You may also run the equivalent command:

   $ amixer -c PCH cset 'name=Headphone Mic Boost Volume' 1

Still have odd random crackles and noise when I for example stop/start a youtubevideo. Not a showstopper as the hissing though. Tried some tips on URL you pasted but no deal.

Fortunately, I've found this only happens on the headphone jack itself. Since I'm an audiophile, when I know I'll be using the laptop for several hours, I tend to plug in a USB-powered DAC instead and route all audio through that. It sidesteps the problem.

Here are some of the key (no pun intended) ones:

Opt+S: Open QuickOpen (omni-search: searches files, workspace symbols, and repos) - Cmd-P and F1 also work

Opt+R: Go to repository

Opt+X: Run command (e.g., 'Open User Settings')

Opt+D: Go to symbol in workspace

Shift+Opt+D: Go to symbol in file

Would it be possible to show ios/android-icons (how they look or even exists) for each code?

That question always comes up when I use utf8-chars instead of classic image-icons in webprojects.

I've been pondering about that too (mostly something with having a service worker drawing each char on a canvas, uploading that to a server), but keeping track of OS/Browser/vendor/font-setup/... (let alone getting it all out of the browser) makes it pretty hairy to get right.

For example if I see the icon from the most common IOS-version looks bad I won't be using that particular charcode.

I don't like the idea of a hosted blogplatform, for some of the reasons Kenneth didn't.

I refuse to run Wordpress due to it's security history and upgrade hell. I know, there's security issues with everything.. except for maybe a static site with jekyll or something :). It's just that ages ago I thought that Wordpress was a silver bullet making various sites and I got bitten by it.

I never found a polished ruby/rails blog app. I've searched, maybe not lately. Has this changed?

A static site generator writing blog posts with git never excited me much, I like a kickass RTE.

The idea of doing my own blog comes up now and then but I haven't acted on it yet.

What options are there out there besides PHP? Preferable ruby/sinatra/rails over django.

> A static site generator writing blog posts with git never excited me much, I like a kickass RTE.

Ironically this is a good description of the original "static site generator", Movable Type: http://www.movabletype.com/

It has a dynamic backend (written in Perl, which some people find a turnoff, but unless you're hacking the software itself I can't imagine why) with a nice RTE available for editing, but in its default configuration all its output is simple easy-to-serve static files.

Your call, but IMO this is pretty short-sighted and reliant on outdated information. WordPress has put a lot of effort into application security and has improved considerably over the last few years. The "upgrade hell" days are essentially over; I've upgraded one blog from early 2.x to the current 3.5.2 release without a single broken plugin.

It's much like another PHP project, phpBB; I'd never have used phpBB2 but phpBB3 is a really pleasant tool.
