War on drugs is what corrupts do to divert politics from fighting the corruption on politics. They just keep blaming the country problems to cocaine, otherwise the blame would fall on themselves.

Not only the economic costs, but also the human lives lost with the "fight against drugs". Thousands of people have been killed in this fight. It has also led to perverse politics such as rewarding military officers based on how m

I lost interest when I tried it and it wouldn't compile code with tabs. (Don't know if it is still the case though)

If you're using Windows, you can download the portable version that shows a small overlay in the screen. MacOS comes with a builtin keyboard viewer. I don't think grinding is a good approach, you need to learn it and make it part

If you're looking for keyboards, you may also be interested in keyboard layouts. I've been using Colemak for 5 years now, and I recommend everyone to try it out. https://colemak.com/

Reminded me of those stories of war people taking drugs because the environment triggered the desire in them. If being outside was the trigger, staying inside would make it easy to quit. On the other hand, going outside again would trigger

I've been using the Leechblock extension on Firefox. It lets you set browsing quotas per website. It has been good for reducing time wasting habits.

I think although it is missing that layer of polish, the underlying foundation layer is so much better built.

it would still be an offset much less than the loss of precision by storing int milliseconds. There are also some techniques for dealing with the time inaccuracies, although I feel those aren't widely known.

I've always felt that having "private" fields by default (thereby suggesing it is the right way to code), making all code live inside classes, and thinking everything as an object, are dogmatic assumptions that make you write

I have been using Godot since recently and I sincerely think that Godot has one of the finest programming experiences, not only for games, but for any kind of visual programming. It is easy and has a flexibility that is unmatched, and some

If you are into opengl guis, you can check ImGui, it is a joy to work with it. although it doesn't have any fancy font stuff afaik. Also there is UE4 slate, which has a funny way of doing stuff.

I would make a distinction between typography and font rendering. MS has some nice type faces, made with a lot of love and care. But after reading this http://www.antigrain.com/research/font_rasterization/index.h..

This is exactly what I mean, also, if you try to make them look better with that lousy truetype wizard, it tries to make you choose what looks better without any context, and if you pick some wrong choices you fuck up the whole font renderi

It is sad that any nice font looks like crap with Windows font rendering.

I find interesting that you say "especially on macOS", personally I feel that macOS has the highest memory requirements of the major OSs, but I haven't used macOS in a while, so that may have changed...

I guess that the author started it to avoid relying on the IDE to be able to debug anything. He says that Visual Studio gets to use about 80% of the debug info available in the debugging files, I am curious to see what that 20% extra is abo

I don't think companies should ever get the benefit of the doubt. If they are doing something people think it's bad, they are bad until they have their defense. That's why big companies have PR people. People may have the ben

I recently found a font named "NSimSun" when customizing the windows console, and I am currently using it for programming. It looks like a serif font but it has finer details like a non-monospace font. I think it is because it was

What I like about this is that this would end up all fights about how to display tables with raw text formatting... just use tabs to delimit table values... Wait it already exists... we had the answer from a long time ago! https:/&#x2

that reminded me of how I decided to play Zelda BoTW. Zelda has a 'Pro' mode where it hides all UI but the health. I was fully decided on using it through the whole game and I think it is the best way to play the game. The absence
