In defiance of popular numbers, but as a result of decades of (mostly illegal) protests.

It's very rare to actually change things in a liberal democracy with voting. This is a central contradiction of the system, because there is very little incentive for existing governments to offer the ability to vote for policies which

That's just false though. If you're trying to hide from the CIA, then sure they are useless. I just want to prevent my ISP from throttling my torrents. You really can't talk about the "use" of any of these tools wit

Yeah I think that if your team doesn't understand threading, Zulip will be even worse. Zulip's threading model takes many people a few hours to get accustomed to, even if those people are comfortable with threading in other client

no, a lynching is a murder by a racist mob this is a community realizing that John Pretty is a predator and deciding that they don't want a predator in a position of power frankly, it's weird as hell for you to be confusing those

I've spent a few hours so far learning to use and setup Kakoune. It seems very thoughtfully designed, extremely flexible, great LSP integration, and ofc it's fast. The community is very helpful. They have a reasonably active Disco

I think that the initial Eink tech wasn't really suited for a general purpose computer. There have been recent advancements that fixed a lot of the issues, but this technology is still new and expensive.

not to sound like a broken record, but Julia has the performance while also having dynamic memory management and an ecosystem close to Python/R (depending on the area). Rust is nice when you want something lightweight and fast, since J

I built an Iris split ergo keyboard, and it's great. Most of the cost comes from the switches and keycaps (I used Zilents and a PMK set), but honestly spending a lot of money on something I probably spent >10 hours touching each day

>So, let's run a few calculations. The "retina" resolution is based on a pixel size of 1 arc-minute, that's 20/20 vision, at 30 degrees, that's 1800 pixels. 4k is 2160 vertical, so that's about the limi

Right, the whole idea is that you use 200% and get that really crisp text.

by ezluckyfree 6y ago
Yeah, I know. I'd be happy with like 8k at 34" or so.
18.
by ezluckyfree 6y ago
That is not the same. Non-integer scaling results in worse sharpness because of the way it needs to be implemented. See eg: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/

by ezluckyfree 6y ago
Right but if you scale the 32" so you get the hidpi sharpness (and put it far away), you lose the real-estate that you could have on a 32" screen.

This is the argument that HiDPI displays are pointless if you're not very close to the monitor, and if you've used a retina display, you know that there is absolutely a difference.

by ezluckyfree 6y ago
I don't scale it, but then I lose the text sharpness. I would like both.

I'm typing this on a 4k, 32" monitor, which is 137.68 DPI, but I also have a Dell XPS 15, which is 4K and 15", 293.72 DPI, and the difference in sharpness is astounding. The other problem with hidpi scaling (200%) at 4k 32&qu

by ezluckyfree 6y ago
I agree. I'd rather hi-dpi 32"+ monitors first though. Hidpi displays are becoming standard on top-end laptops but on desktop you're almost out of luck. It's wild that the only hidpi 32" monitor is ~$5000, and it wa

There are many linux distros without systemd too. Artix (arch without systemd), Devuan (debian without systemd), and Void are the big ones off the top of my head.

Yeah you can call Rust from Julia. Rewriting seems like a pain in the ass, especially because Rust isn't causing your current implementation problems.
