With 2x scaling, fonts are really crisp. Regular 1080p gets there most of the way, but with 2x scaling on a super high res display, the difference is noticeable and it's hard to go back. Have you ever switched from a high refresh rate

my favourite thing about 5K is that you can do 2x scaling and still have plenty of space on your screen to display multiple windows (effectively 2560x1440) but with a 4K screen, you have three options: 1. no scaling and tiny fonts (ugh), 2.

I don't want to tell NASA/ESA/CSA how to operate, but I haven't heard of a single software product that launched 10 years late. Such a product would be immediately DOA because of how fast technology moves. Obviously a sp

I just eyeballed my browser history from the last 2-3 days and I'd estimate 15% is current/latest news related, some 25% is programming related, 15% is e-commerce stuff, the rest random crap. I'd imagine 10-100 TB can easily

I'm sorry what? Have you seen the rate at which data is being created today? I mean, if you want to index the size of the 1995 web with your raspberry pi, go ahead, but it costs insane amounts of money to index the December 2021 web an

You don't need to run your own email server for this. I do this with a catch-all in Fastmail for $50/year or something. I'm pretty sure Gmail and most others can do this too.

It absolutely doesn't cost 20k EUR/yr in hardware to run a email server, but the time sink is ridiculous.

No, I'm just curious if it was possible technically. Obviously it's super unethical to do this to your CEO.

What's the best way to read about all the new accepted grammar developments in Go in the last year or two?

I don't disagree, but I just wish there was a solution that's both fair and, you know, won't cause mass extinction. Maybe that's just not possible.

I think it's unfair that countries with relatively little cumulative emissions historically (India, China) are made to comply with the same restrictions as countries that have already built a lot of infrastructure with emissions over

argv is stored in the program's memory. where would this hypothetical, arbitrarily sized return data be stored after the program exits? who is responsible for storing it until the exited process' parent asks for it? the kernel?

There is no standard for design docs at Google and everyone is free to experiment, but most commonly used templates usually share the same ideas. My favourite is to write a green doc and a blue doc. The green doc is typically a "one pa

smartphones are critical to living life in most developed countries. it's the same level of utility as electricity at this point. I don't see anything wrong with requiring a standard port.

No, I disagree. Science is something that's well established and has been around for centuries. Engineering is also well established and has been around for centuries. The iPhone is an engineering advancement and will always be viewed

Can you give a real example with numbers (fake numbers okay)? I can't begin to understand how owning a % of a company gets reduced to pennies in the end.

no, all he said is you can't comment on ongoing legal matters. I have no idea how you went from that to "humans are controlled from voicing your opinion by your corporate". this is pretty standard. even in personal matters yo
