And in China, everyone is in a union yet there’s plenty of innovation. Unions don’t prevent innovation.

Long before Rust or Go existed, “systems languages” were commonly the ones you can write a whole system in to run on hardware, like C, Pascal or C++. I’m not opposed to that definition changing, but it certainly hadn’t when Go came out. I a

I see. I’ve always preferred to switch workspaces together.

I have two 4K monitors, one at 150% and another at 175%. Nothing is blurry. I did have to get a reasonably new Gnome, Ubuntu LTS had one that was broken with fractional scaling.

I don’t know about that, it was called a systems language when it came out. By any common usage of the term, it’s definitely not that.

Being able to parse something into a dict and then serialise it back to the same thing is a bit easier. Not a huge advantage, though.

What’s wrong with Gnome’s multi monitor support? My two monitors even have different pixel density.

Sure. I’ve seen people that do packaging for games measure various techniques for hard disks typical of the time, maybe a decade ago. It was definitely worth it then to duplicate some assets to avoid seeks. Nowadays? No. Even those with har

I've used Aldjemy ( https://github.com/aldjemy/aldjemy ) on a small project and it worked pretty well for allowing me to compose the fairly complex queries needed that the Django ORM couldn't do.

Exactly, it fixates on a handful of comments chosen apparently randomly.

The UK already occupied the north of Ireland.

More device storage wouldn’t help. I couldn’t fit all of my pictures on any phone sold today.

I already have a Corne and a Glove80. I'd like something built into a laptop as well.

It should be possible to make a dumb version of such a keyboard wired the same as the stock one, just with the keys moved around. It would need some OS configuration to be truly useful, though.

I actually like short travel very light linear switches, mechanical or not. I don’t like row stagger and non-split keyboards, for ergonomic reasons. That’s definitely a niche preference, but if anyone would cater to it you’d expect it to be

Yes, something like that. Ideally for a reasonably sized 13-14” laptop.

by dontlaugh 10mo ago
That is interesting. I wish someone made a keyboard that doesn’t suck, ideally split as well.

With what capital exactly?

Why? Everything gets pirated anyway, even with all the DRM. There’s no difference.

Definitely, but the weight of the fuel doesn’t matter that much and they allowed quite a bit of fuel. Cars wouldn’t gain much by being twice as efficient if they were any slower.

They already overprice their memory, so they have a lot more headroom.

It’s motherboards that tend to fail the most. I had one fail this year, albeit for the first time.

It's even worse, the lowest theoretical latency possible based on speed of light alone is not low enough for the speed of movement in many shooters, if the server hid all immediately invisible information.

Sure. And Valve want their own 30% cut. It does suck if you just want to play games on hardware you own that can handle said games.
86.
by dontlaugh 10mo ago
That is not always possible for genres with fast gameplay like most shooters. It's quite common for player movement to be able to put an enemy in view before the light could've round-tripped from the server. This is generally the

There already is an electric Abarth, but it is FWD. Same with the electric Mini.

No, not at all. But by putting every asset a level (for example) needs in the same file, you can pretty much guarantee you can read it all sequentially without additional seeks. That does force you to duplicate some assets a lot. It's

It's tiny, compared to most games of similar graphical detail.

Which is true. It’s an old technique going back to CD games consoles, to avoid seeks.
