Maybe they have in some areas. In my case, rural Finland, it's been the same for as long as I remember. Maximum limit is 120 km/h on freeways (and there are practically none of them where I usually drive), elsewhere on bigger in

I'm conflicted on this because I'd like those gains in safety and efficiency. I think it'd also allow us to live with smaller & curvier roads, which I think are romantic and kinda relaxing. (I'm quite bored with th

I'm not sure that's an apt analogy; if you have DSL instead of fiber, it's probably because fiber wasn't available at your location (or would've required you to pay some company thousands to dig up trenches and lay

I think it's less a matter of political climate and more just that these improvements are "too little, too late" when electrics are already taking over markets. How long would I need to wait for these theoretical improvements

Have you used the clutch? I have a kinesis advantage pro, which came with a footswitch. I quickly found out that my feet are very clumsy and can't come close to keeping up with my fingers. Also I couldn't find a way place the swi

That's what I was sort of going after, although the workstation setup is important too. My desk is full of exposed boards, cat5 cables going in and out of them, rs232 cables going in and out of them, power supplies, switches, multimete

I mean my premise is that we could have (and imho should have) categorically rejected "general computation on the client." In that scenario, the solution could look something like HTML5 form validation. Nitpicking the details of

So if you don't work from home, you bring your own office and computer and desk and chair to work? In my part of the world, employer tends to provide those. And it makes sense that they still provide for what I need to do my job even

You are indeed very good at imagining a world where the only choices are the web exactly as it was in the 90s, and exactly as it is today. That's a rare display of creative ability, but also a false dichotomy.

And I think that is madness. The web should have never gone down that route. People should push back.

On the other hand, life is short, time is finite, and there's more to read and do and learn than any one person can do in a lifetime. Time and time again I read things only to regret it later because I didn't get my time's wo

Whether ~$50-$100 ARM SBCs are powerful enough to make a dev machine for you depend on a lot of things. I wouldn't want one for my day job, but these would be sufficient for nearly all the coding I do on my free time. It's in the

Dang. This looks like something that could replace my aging T460s (which has a garbage trackpad, and cost over 2000 eur with all its 8GB of RAM; Linux keeps OOMing and freezing all the time[1]). Ryzen 4000 series would be nice. 17" w

I've glanced at design patterns, but like most programming books, it bored me to death. To me it reads like "now that you know how to hold this clumsy 90s OOP hammer, here's how to swing it". That's a far cry from

I'm on 2560x1440. In normal desktop use, it's about 17cm to get from left to right edge. Roughly 400 dpi. For graphics work and gaming, I reduce my mouse's DPI further. 1:1 is all I ever wanted.

My xinitrc starts with xset m 0 0. I want input from my mouse to map 1:1 to pixels. Nothing more. (I think libinput breaks that -- or at some point did break it -- and I solve it by removing libinput. Coincidentally, I started having iss
