I'm wondering which SOC actually makes a difference nowadays

Like Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 actually is worthy at all compared to it's predecesors?

I wonder something like: with this you can play at best 2 or 3 more games comfortably compared to Gen 4.

I've noted that there are very few improvements from one gen to another and I'm wondering if things has relatively stopped growing since any particular SOC

Nowadays I have an android phone dedicated exclusively for gaming (POCO F4 GT), 24/7 attached to the my Gamesir control. I have another phone for the daily driver, but I barely play with it (a game or two or clash royale, but nothing serious). My daily driver is even stronger than the POCO F4 GT, but since I'm not playing any AAA games in the phone I have not found any troubles (I'm mostly playing PS1/PS2 , SNES, and things like that emulator, rarely a Switch game or two). But when I push it a little bit, it overheats (although I have a very good cooler in the gamepad)

So basically I was wondering: if I wanted one day to do the upgrade, it's worth at all going for something like a POCO F8 Ultra?

PS: I don't like tablets. I need some little to play comfotably, a mobile-sized.

I got a shoes for my wife and me, and the total is 7.X€ taxes (3+3+taxes). Two categories for shoes, that theoretically are into the exact same category (and the exact same seller!!)

I think that this taxing thing is a big hit, but Aliexpress is not helping a bit. They are auto-sabotaging themselves. They could easily have and design broad categories but they are not easing it.

Unless I'm missing something, it's totally unclear to identify the category.

Recently I posted in the Poms subreddit because I was lured recently by one neighbor that offered me one, and most of the advice after commenting on my story was to go for a Maltipoo.

I'm going to do a quick intro to give some context

I've had a Maltese for a long time and life has passed for him recently. The story here is that I'm feeling seriously apprehensive that picking another Maltese would bring me back memories constantly and could be a bit overwhelming. I'm planning to start looking now, because I know from experience that until I find my perfect match, its going to be minimally a 2 or 3 months period, unless something unexpected happens

The thing here is that I've also heard, two versions: they are very similar to the maltis, or they are more similar to the poos. Maltis are low energy, very calmed, full chilling dogs (obviously they always have the spark, but on average the chill is their flagship temperament). On the other side poos, are more lively more active in general, could be chilling but not a flagship temperament.

I suppose that since this is a breed between a malti and a poo, the temperament could be a coin toss between one of the two parents, so I don't totally think there is a single answer

The thing is what I really would like is another Malti, but as I say, I feel bad for having another image of my previous dog. To some extent it even feels like dishonoring his memory.

All maltis are white. Good thing also about maltipoos are that they inherit colors from their parents, so there are many brown and bicolors. So I could make the effort to pick a brownie so I could never see my previous dog just because of this

Also another thing I've seen is that maltipoos can have both curly snailish hair, or slightly more straight-curlish hair like maltis

So here my two questions

1. What is the main temperament of your dogs? Barking-wise, running-wise, days on the day sleeping. My dog was of the type, that when the floor was wet he looked at me dubious before jumping on it because he didn't like getting wet, instead of being like my previous dog (a brussels griffon, that jumped straight away without looking back). So on which side tend to be more the maltipoos on average

2. About the hair: in case I evaluate a newborn, is there an indicator to predict the type of hair? Or you can see a puppy with very curly hair with 3 months that then gets it very straight, or the other way around?

Something that I've noted lately when hearing through a playlist, is that I like some songs like a lot more than others. If I hear a playlist with 10 songs, say 20 times, there are like 6 songs that I start disliking after 10 repetitions, but others, I like them a lot, I could hear them like in a loop 2 or 3 times and still like them. The problem is that after 20 times, I end disliking seriously certain number of song and I feel disatisfied of the number of times I've heard certain other songs.

I always thought that I would appreciate it if you could set some "weights" in playlists so certain preferred songs pop up twice or three times as much as others. So they are better compensated based on likings.

I wonder if anyone has this same feeling and also wonder if anyone has been able to fix this somehow. Personally, what I do sometimes is to press the << to hear the song again or the >> when I'm fed of a song. But what I would really like is to hear the song again maybe after 2 other songs, not in a loop and automating this obviously.

When I scrobble I can see a clear pattern that I cannot really fulfill automatically, I have to be "manually" having to loop, which is not ideal for my taste.

I've always struggled with this topic. Depending on the client, it's near to impossible to set a retainer. But those clients are the ones that after deliver, expect a "perfect" product, free of bugs. And bugs always appear, one after another, eventually, forever.

So I wonder which policies are you talking regarding these topics?

I know some people apply the harshest: After delivery, no bugs fixing without quotation. Some others have told me they have a warranty period. There is one guy that provided a 10-year warranty period which is kind of nuts for me.

I'm paralyzed by analysis. I bought a NAS and a minipc 1 month ago and I have not unpacked yet just thinking what to do.

But I need to do something ASAP, because I'm running out of SSD and I have my HDD sitting there idling (and given how extremely expensive are SSD right now, I prefer to move all the heavy things asap)

Here is my dilemma

My intention is to mound:

1. Home Assistant
2. A camera server with scrypted
3. A plex server
4. And the most important: the Fileserver. But the fileserver needs something critical: Google Drive synced.

I think that the filesystem could be managed directly in the NAS I bought, ASUSTOR brand, and I believe that probably the ASUSTOR software has Google Drive sync embedded. I will have the NAS connected via 2.5GbE.

For the other 3 services

- I currently have HA in a dedicated PI. I would like to free the PI for other uses. Personally I prefer HAOS over HA Container, because updates in HA Container are a massive pain and they can handle apps. I've read some people installing HAOS over Proxmox, but over Docker is going to be to be an unsupported pain

- For Scrypted, long story short:

This is the major selling point: Automatic iGPU passthrough

- Plex. pretty much the same to Scrypted

Reading this I would be totally sold with Proxmox

Problems with Proxmox

The thing here is that I prefer Docker overall, because I don't like UI for managing servers (mainly because I will never have a kb/screen access). According to Proxmox docs, it minimally requires serial access.

So I'm still in the fence, trying to get ideas. I would like to hear opinions in case you got a similar scenario and how you solve it.

Another problem of Proxmox AFAIK: I need to allocate HD to each container upfront. I don't really like to know or think on how much space I need for each container. I like docker in this regard because it scales without asking upfront. More like a cloud mentality, rather than the old-school VM thing. It's true that I can always add more disk with resize, but this makes another maintenance burden to the checklist.

Recently I started working on an ultra-legacy project; no linting, PSR, CS, static analysis, or anything related is configured.

The thing is that I've been working with VSCode for a couple years now, and I've noticed that I'm missing a couple of errors now and then that are being caught at runtime, but the IDE doesn't get them.

For example, undefined variables.

The project has files with 50K lines, 500 files per directory, and things like that. Basically my VSCode is suffering to keep up.

But all of sudden I installed PHPStorm, waited like 5 minutes or so, and I spotted straight away an undefined variable error, after the Static Analysis process it run. I'm truly amazed with this. I've never used PHPStorm in the past, but the PM told me that he was finding some errors on my code like this eventually, and he was catching them when he reviewed my code with PHPStorm.

I wonder what kind of magic PHPStorm uses for this, to pick this kind of errors among this massive mess of projects. If I open the gates of PHPStan in VSCode, the amount of errors is absurd. Same for any linter or similar tools.

But for comparison, PHPStore has been able to finely spot the sole error in one 50K line file with precision. I'm still amazed but I wonder if I could achieve something similar in VSCode, I use Intelephpense, but it's not able to pick this.

FINAL VEREDICT

Yes, PHPStorm is great, fully featured IDE.

But it doesnt work for me. I'm a fullstack dev, work with multiple languages at a time, I have workspaces with 2 or even 3 languages in the same workspace. PHPStorm won't do the cut for me, will excel in PHP but fail in JS/Node/Angular/React and Go. I will need to have 3 IDE open, not worth

But someone raised PHpantom LSP, it sits on top of Mago and PHPStan. I've been testing with PHPStorm and VSCode side by side, in my Windows machine and it feels the same, maybe even a bit faster. I'm greatly amazed. Thanks for the advice. Worth sharing.
