Am I the only one here who finds the title and central message of this post totally ridiculous? Like “I don’t like what Apple are doing so I’m only going to give them a few more thousand bucks, but then in a few more years I’m probably gonn

The difference between 60hz and 120hz is massive in gaming. I know this because I play an FPS that usually runs at 120Hz and I really notice when it drops to 60 when the action gets intense. The difference between gaming at 4K and 1440p or

At google many years ago they gave me an LGTM stamp for something, can’t remember what exactly. Fun thing to have around. This one is much nicer than mine though.

Your reductionist view gives no room for safe cycling in most cities. It requires nothing of the drivers and accomodations from everyone else. Why is that? Cars haven’t even been common for 100 years. Before they came along, we didn’t even

Yes I can see how the existence of other beings may be inconvenient to you.

If a cyclist has to yield to every passing car, then in any busy area (where most people travel) the cyclist effectively always has to be off to the side, which is not safe. If the cyclist is not occupying an actual lane to themselves then

You do realise the two things you are suggesting are contrary? How is the driver giving the cyclist space if they expect the cyclist to move out of their way? The central issue here is that it’s simply not safe to ride over to the side, bei

It’s true, cyclists should not be on roads with cars. But they can share the same streets . (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroad ) Streets that are cyclist-friendly are also pedestrian-friendly.

The level of impatience I observed among drivers in Spain was pretty amazing. Europe is a diverse place.

It’s true. Drivers can often be absolutely psychotic. Like they actually, sincerely want you dead because you (theoretically) inconvenience them briefly. I rarely ride my bike on the road in my home country, Australia, for fear of my life.

Saying “create anything” is extreme hyperbole.

Open source projects definitely have communities and it’s not an artificial thing. You have the developers and consumers of the project and they have a lot of social interactions.

At some point it will become difficult to buy speakers without smart features, as it has already with TVs. Sometimes you can avoid activating those features but sometimes you have to turn them on in order to use the device. This is a net lo

It’s actually a somewhat solved task, by editors that support LSP. I can’t think of a UX that would work well for generally colouring identifiers distinctly though. One nice feature that does exist is selecting an identifier and highlight

My syntax highlighting scheme is very minimal. White on black, with only string literals slightly grey, and comments slightly greyer. To me that provides enough of a distinction that I can distinguish the three types of content. The rest is

On the specific line Hans dodges the discussion. FWIW Gotham et al are just happy about the interview for the entertainment factor, when most post game interviews are very dry and boring.

If you do even the most cursory amount of research, such as by clicking through to his GH profile, you can see this is actually him. This kind of knee-jerk baseless cynicism is toxic.

This is a great book, one of my faves. It is a surprise to see it hosted on archive.org when it is still in print, though. Please support good technical writing! https://www.amazon.com/Unix-Programming-Environment-Prentice..

It’s all gravel, not paved smooth, so maybe a dirt bike would be more appropriate.

The jury is still out on VR and Meta but it hardly seems promising.

That’s totally different to republishing something for free.

It doesn’t have to be that way. 10 years since Go 1 and almost all Go programs written then will run correctly, unchanged, against Go 1.19. It takes a lot of effort but the effort pays off big time. Any programming language that wants to s

I read one of his early books and my takeaway was that the author has lived a very privileged and sheltered life, compared to almost anyone, and so his observations and advice should be taken with a grain of salt.

But this is about ranking code based on how central it is, for the purposes of choosing what to translate to TypeScript first. It’s not a compromise, it’s the correct approach. How often a line of code is executed is not relevant for this p

by enneff 4y ago
This actually has nothing to do with how often the code is executed. Code is ranked by its referents.

A bigger factor was probably the age at which you played the original.

The concern I’m raising is that a litigious party can take your words out of context to make a case against your employer. It behooves you not to produce lots of recorded material that can make life for you and your colleagues difficult in

Consider that you end up in a legal dispute with another company, and they can legally discover mountains of your recorded conversations which they can then trawl through to cherry-pick sound bites that support their case, while they themse
