Individual humans don’t employ large groups of people and don’t move forward the economy like a company does. I don’t understand why we want to equate rules for companies to rules for individuals? People say “it’s not fair”? Who’s going to

You can subdivide large geometries. You can decide how much by controlling the amount of vertices a polygon can have before it’s chopped away. Intersections with large polygons will perform faster if subdivided.

I probably owe my career to this library. It’s been the enabler for geospatial analysis for a lot of people.

737 max had two fatal crashes due to automated trimming issues (MCAS) and the fleet had been grounded until very recently.

It has been achieved thanks to the heaps of cash that the entire world has thrown at China. Part of what made it work was some good ideas "some" people at the very top had, but they've reverted those decisions and the effects

Indeed! The CCP's time has past for sure. Nothing good can come from them at this point.

I’m not hoping it goes bad for China. I’m just waiting for the CCP to turn against itself. It’s a matter of time. Too ignorant and unprepared. The question is whether they will fall soon enough

It’s a layered problem: If the economy is good, then yes. If the circumstances are daring enough, then yes. Otherwise no

Yes, pretty much agree. I'll say that in the end people want their freedom. I didn't believe this until the lockdown. Being told what to do is something that makes you instantly appreciate freedom. There will always be revolt, giv

Oh, it's super late! In the short term, China will definitely be the largest economy (it's just about demographics + GDP). The only thing that could challenge that is: 1) World war (please no) 2) China is chopped up (but that&#x27

You'll see how the west is going to "rebrand" globalization from the "world savior" to "a dependency issue". We're going back. Everyone thought that as new countries got richer, they would follow in t

Yes. Never forget how the US seemingly thought that its companies, unchecked, would defend the national interests. We should all learn from this.

Same with bugs. Hate to be the mantra guy but: 1. Make it work 2. Make it right 3. Make it fast (make sure you need to) a.k.a. optimize 4. Make it scale

Waiting for the physicist in the room to point out: there is no such thing as simultaneity! :)

Agreed with this. I dabbled in React for a while, but then I realized how flawed the concept is (it's like downloading a full .dll every time you run a program). I always ask myself if something can be static now, and if so, I make it

Not fractional though. If the correct scaling is 200%, or 300%, then yes, it works. If it's 140% you're out of luck for automatic. Also, when you unplug the monitor, the windows are messed up. On top of that, a lot of GTK3 apps lo

by gfiorav 6y ago
Yes, but it's not configured automatically and things mess up when you switch from you monitor to your laptop. Also, gtk3 apps look blurry when upscaled sometimes.

For me, these are the three things a Linux distro needs to nail nowadays: - HDPI - Battery - Touchpad OUT OF THE BOX. Like other OSes. The other thing that sounds weird from this article is "Windows and Mac are hard to setup". Thi

I think they Apple said last time that you'd be able to run ARM Windows, not x86 as of yet.

I left it updating overnight. The alarm went off as expected. I was surprised!

I think like 80% of people in the comments are trying to find refuge in the idea that "TDD is dead" to justify them not writing tests. Not going to argue, I just hope you realize this will come back and bite you. This profession r

Beware of the performance hit if you do this over the internet. We used this with PostGIS and data was copied back and forth through the network pretty inefficiently.

I've been using the new Cascadia font that Windows released with their new terminal for a bit and I can say I enjoy it. It's playful. I don't use color schemes and have a white background, so this typeface provides all the jo

I honestly don't get the fret. I must be one of the few people in the industry that actually TDD. I write the test first as a sort of "design research" phase. This industry pays, is it that hard to expect discipline?

After all this time, people still don't get we're all different. I have astigmatism, and therefore struggle more than normal when focussing on low contrast images. White over black is terrible contrast. Black over white is the bes
