Fixing Thermal Throttling on Thinkpad P1 and X1 Extreme - Linux Edition

Lenovo messed up with the X1E and P1 Gen 1 versions (and maybe later generations) in that the system boots with a thermal limit (aka Tjunction or tjmax) set to 82C (some report 80C). What this means is that regardless of power draw or under-volting settings, when your CPU hits 82C, it will drop the frequency down to the "Configurable TDP-down" frequency, or even lower. It will also may limits the system power draw.

Revert / Undo a Gist Commit

It was not exactly obvious. Here's how to revert a Gist commit!

Checkout the gist like a normal git repo:

# replace the Gist ID with your own
git clone git@github.com:cc13e0fcf2c348cc126f918e4a3917eb.git

Treat it like a normal repo. Edit, force push, etc.

When I put the reference implementation onto the website I needed to
put a software license on it.

And I looked at all the licenses that were available, and there were a lot
of them. And I decided that the one I liked the best was the MIT License,
which was a notice that you would put on your source and it would say,
"you're allowed to use this for any purpose you want, just leave the
notice in the source and don't sue me."

This is my response to an email asking about Domain-Driven Design in golang project.

Thank you for getting in touch. Below you will find my thoughts on how golang works with DDD, changing it. This is merely a perception of how things worked out for us in a single project.

That project has a relatively well-known domain. My colleagues on this project are very knowledgeable, thoughtful and invested in quality design. The story spelled out below is a result of countless hours spent discussing and refining the approach.

Conclusions could be very different, if there was a different project, team or a story-teller.
