For most, I think there are easy ways to massively reduce time spent on their phone without an adverse effect on career or relations otherwise, but that's predicated on a want to. Besides, I see plenty of people who are on their phone

This has been true due to the VAT and emissions tax exemption. The VAT exemption on PEVs will be dropped in 2020. Also, a proposal has recently been made for a tax on heavy electrics (Tesla's). It will add $11687 to the purchase price

Game devs just use Perforce (for binaries, or everything). Sometimes Git in combination.

Isn't CodeFlow similar to the code review functionality that's now integrated in Visual Studio?

I hear you regarding time... If I didn't regularly try out new software it could still be a viable choice, but now I enjoy the ease of Arch's ecosystem. I guess a lot of people who still use Slack does a full install and have few

If anyone wants to give it a go they can use v5.0, which is free for non-commercial use. Otherwise: https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1817/...

I wouldn't call it a lost art... Assembly is used many places, even for new projects. But it makes sense that assembly programming might seem impressive (or antiquated) to the HN crowd, which I have an impression is composed of a lot o

Did it break in an unrecoverable way, or was it just an inconvenience? Arch is a rolling release that many choose to update daily, or on a fixed schedule, like once a week. That updates sometimes can break a thing or two, out of hundreds of

I think it's well-suited to anyone who despises bloat. To anyone who wants to run a resource-efficient and performant system with just the parts they need. And honestly, most users will never need to dig deep. Most users will only, occ

Regarding usability, been a little while since I've used macOS now, so sincere question: Is it still true that you need third-party software to do keyboard-based window management? Even just something as simple as Windows' Win+arr

by erikbye 9y ago
Absolutely it is. Such a simple fix too, at least in terms of avoiding things becoming too small. In terms of clarity and scaling up pixel-based GUI elements like icons you need to do a bit more work (new icons, double the res).

Not Windows' fault, though. It's up to developers to update their apps to handle DPI scaling.

A woman at work constantly speaks in tones of sexual innuendo, when she comes over to someone asking for help or whatever, she leans over you and places her hand on your shoulder or thigh. As a man in today’s climate the double standard is
