Sounds plausible. Note there's a big trend of making fullscreen applications. Skype acts like you bought a computer just to run it. Slack wants it all. Gmail is crammed with icons and features and can't deal with half width screen

Of course this is satire. For your information, there is a tiling WM which is more radical than my preference. It's called 'ratpoison' and it literally doesn't have mouse support, by design. I don't use it because I

I used to like KDE and dislike Gnome, but by the time I switched to i3 I realized I don't care about traditional window managers. I used a lot of console anyway. Why wait for windows and icons to appear? I want animations and decoratio

Popularity of pasta in Italy is part of nation's accumulated wisdom. Pasta is popular simply because it _works_. It gradually releases water over time. This makes it very popular among marathon runners for example. Pasta's dietary

I use them heavily. Also, check out ]] [[ and ]m (jump to end of function).

Can you recommend some resources about using Vim effectively without turning it into an IDE? I'm a self-learned Vim user and I'm sure I could learn a lot by observing experienced vim users. Kakoune has ambitions to be the true &qu

I think the worst that has happened to Linux games was that DirectX has won. Vulkan gives me some hope. Cyberpunk is superficially about technology, but I think Noita is a much geekier game. Made in Finland, the country that added demoscene

Standard work week is 40 hours: 8 hours for 5 days. 75% of Poles work overtime (2017): https://strefabiznesu.pl/czy-polacy-umieraja-z-przepracowani... One fifth (20%) of those working overtime don't receive any compens

Just curious, where does the fashion of calling screen resolution by vertical dimension come from? Why not a format like 1680x1050?

I wonder if someone comes up with a neat formula for the perimeter of an ellipse. Keppler gave up...

"Cyberpunk 2077 has involved months of crunch, despite past promises" Including, but not limited to, 6 day work weeks for over a year. Sounds like 966 and China. https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/4/215

This is like saying Red Dead Redemption is like running a farm in Texas. Linux is more popular among techies/programmers/hackers. Cyberpunk is a genre focusing on being cool and special, an attempt to steal computers from introver

A very interesting idea. I had my own idea: xornews - news about politics that are only in one camp, or the other, but never in both. For example liberal/conservative. That's the main split in my country. But I realized it can&#x2

Wilk Elektronik from Poland is the only RAM manufacturer in Europe. Their Goodram brand is getting good reviews. It ain't much, but it's honest work.

In all honesty, I ran Riven through wine, and Proton is a wrapper around wine and some other tools to cover the rough edges.

Would aimbots be impossible to make if there was no anti-lag / network prediction code? As a thought experiment, imagine a game which has only single player and LAN multiplayer (Local Area Network), where you have to physically connect

Does anyone know a PC gaming website that regularly reviews anti-cheat software? I know review websites get free sample copies and stuff from game publishers... are there any review websites which serve gamers first??

While technically correct, first person shooters might be the most popular multiplayer genre. In practice it's more accurate to says special cases are the games which do no qualify to the categories you outlined above. As for turn-base

I think their policies have more to do with support costs than anything else. As much as I love playing on Linux and wine, you have to admit there are more technical issues with Linux. People who have low tolerance for glitches and problem

I absolutely believe this person because I had periods of unemployment in my life. Many people around here treat you like shit if you don't have a job. And that was just a job.

As for consistency between programs, that's what vim keys accomplish for keymap. I used to be skeptical about these despite being a vim user. But viewed as a way to make programs more consistent, it's good.

In my last job, boss would pretty often come up with something important to do near the end of my shift. Watch out for that. How do you deal when your employer (it was a small company) engages with you personally when your shift is coming t

And that would somehow be bad? Maybe the sooner current system explodes, the better? After Thatcher, practical schools were closed and there has been pressure to make as many people earn a university degree as possible. Universities are low

I'm not a very experienced developer, I assume my ignorance. Surely "unit testing for performance" would have its own term by now?
