Sounds cool. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T490 which struggles to drive two 4k displays at reasonable refresh rates. 4k60 + 4k30 is the best I was able to achieve so far (via Thunderbolt and an additional HDMI cable).

Micro USB was definitely worse than USB-C. For context: I am someone who still has a 9 years old smartphone in use (not exclusively). So for the normal 24 months usage the connectors might suffice, but I prefer solutions which are either ea

It probably depends on resolution and refresh rate, so you might want to add some details.

I really like the replaceable USB-C ports. From my smartphone I know, these things wear-off when being used multiple times per day and being able to simply replace them is much more useful than it might look like at first sight.

Does someone know, if this phenomenon is this also related to our bad visual capabilities at night?

I don't know if Proton runs on SteamOS, but if it does (it should), yes, then it should be able to run Crysis ;-) https://www.protondb.com/app/17300

The problem is that you have to give your tracking consent freely, which means, that you should have no disadvantage if you don't consent. However, being awarded the right to read the news for free after giving your consent can hardly

I also don't understand how this can be in legal in the sense of the GDPR, but AFAIK there are multiple German news sites which use this pattern (e.g. Golem, Heise and Spiegel from the top of my head).

I find that Golang is an especially good companion for Bash, because it is quite easy to write and deploy your own CLI tools for task which have higher performance requirements.

One difference between the projects is that you are targeting Bash and I am targeting POSIX. Therefore, using the 'unofficial strict mode' is not an option for me. However, good tests can compensate a lot and are necessary anyway.

Well, it certainly has some strong parts, but there are some parts which are so horribly broken, that the good parts can't keep up. Just to give one example: The topic of errexit aka `set -e`. In the beginning, I thought it should be a

You might want to check out one of my projects called: module.sh [1]. It is still a work-in-progress project and the documentation on the website is not up-to-date, but I think we are working on the same problem ;-) If you want to run proba

Well, I think you could say they are not lying, because they say 'for about 5 minutes or until the onions turn a medium-brown'. So if he result is not what you expected, you probably decided for the wrong part of the condition ;-)

Sounds interesting and indeed, when I take a fresh profile, the website loads just fine. So I suppose some one of my settings or some extension causes the issue. Thanks for the hint. Edit: I don't quite get it yet. Even starting my def

What is wrong with the above comment (it got downvotes)? Isn't it correct? I mean, sure, we are talking shell here, so who cares about efficiency, but I don't see the benefit of using export either.

I think there is a fine line between 'rude' and 'appropriate' in this case. - Simply stopping to respond to requests without signaling in any way, that you are not interested in continuing the interaction is rude (aka gh

I like one hour lunches. My biggest issue is, that in an office environment I can't use it as effectively as I would like to. At home I tend to spend 20-30 minutes taking a short nap and it really pays off as it boosts my productivity

Please define snapshot. I suspect you mean filesystem snapshots and as long as the snapshot lives on the same physical media you are correct. But when you take the snapshot and transfer it to a physically separate location where it cannot b

This reminds me of the time I tried to replace a region in an image I created with dd and forgot to add the `notrunc` option. Which resulted in the image file being truncated and instead of the few hundred gigabytes only a few megabytes wer

My biggest issue is, running it with a 4k resolution on Windows seems to be considerably slower than Chrome (Intel graphics). With a full-hd resolution I didn't notice the difference and on a different PC running Linux I don't hav

In my opinion, Randon should not put Ruji back online. I think it would show that he respects the opinion of Amjad, even though Amjad has acted immaturely and completely inappropriate in the first place.

I like documentation that starts with a minimal but functional example, followed by the most common additions to improve the solution and finally a complete documentation of all functions. Having links to actual code, like GoDocs have it, i

I think even if the motivations can have different origins, they can lead to the exact same thought process and product. So yes, strictly speaking they are not the same and they can lead to different outcomes, but I am not sure how much o

Another aspect, where printf debugging can be better than debuggers are use-cases where timing is relevant. Some bugs don't occur when break points stop the program at certain points in time. For completeness is should be added, that t
