How is web browsing at that density? I'm nervous to pick up a 4K display even at 30-32 inches, as I don't think scaling is solved in Windows or on the web (though that's just speculation).

SuperSampling or downsampling (there might be some nuanced differences between the two). AFAIK, MSAA works at the render resolution and you can have it in addition to downsampling, although at a very poor ratio of computation to reward.

Props that you're branching out and having fun. That's what makes software special. Agar.io is slow and simple. There isn't much state to encode and state doesn't change drastically that a few re-sent packets here and th

There's something that irks me about incorporating logic into templates. UI development is hard enough without having to bounce between js and templates to figure out how a component is actually going to behave. I haven't used Vue

I'm still a newbie so I have a hard time articulating this, just a couple years into my career. The "rule of thumb" that I've worked up so far is that document stores are great for records that are useful in isolation bu

This comment comes up often in the gaming community. My guess: they've done the math and the business gains do not outweigh the inputs. Between the codebase sanitation and the licensing issues with third-party products, that would be a

The team I started on a year and a half ago, first out of college, has the soft requirement that the master git branch for each package be flat. Feature branches get squashed (or rebased into few commits), before being rebased onto mainline

Why is AWS so popular? I don't mean that as a question with pretense, just genuinely curious.

I was the same way. I spent my college years poring over HN, /r/programming, various blogs and articles. An older software engineer I knew was always surprised at how many things I knew and had opinions about, even though I was

Elon Musk is another popular example. His presentation skills are awful. I appreciate that they do away with corporate ultra-PR presentations, he certainly seems more human, but I have a hard time enjoying watching his reveals; they're

I think most "Computer Science" programs are going to continue doing that. It's more academic than... pragmatic? I graduated in late 2015, and frankly I can't point out anything in particular that I can confidently say m

CS is not Software Engineering, and should be treated as such. People who do nothing but coursework will be lousy developers, and people who don't get a proper CS instruction will have a harder time becoming proper software engineers.

Genuine question: Do people still adhere to 80 character limits for lines? I expected that everyone would have relaxed those with all the extra resolution we have. I use 100 at work.
