   Whoops, so it is. I agree that 3:2 is close to ideal in a laptop form factor.

   See layer8’s comment above. Let’s say there’s a sweet spot somewhere between ultrawide and square. Why would 16:9 be ideal? The golden ratio is pretty close to 16:10, which is the basis of A4 (etc.) paper.

   Sure. It works even better with a little extra height.

   Yes, if I haven’t just bought this MacBook I’d probably consider it.

   Indeed it's nearly perfect, but I would only buy it with a considerably better processor. Both Intel and AMD have incredible stuff lined up for the next few years in that space. For now though, since I have to keep a Mac around for wor

   It's like no one here has used a MacBook before. They've been putting 2560 by 1600 displays in 13" MacBooks for what, a decade now?

   For graphics, the 5500U has 7 CUs at 1800 MHz. The 5700U has 8 CUs at 1900 MHz. They're both ancient Vega APUs so they're really nothing special.

   I say it every time every time one of these threads pop up and I’ll say it again here: if it’s not 16:10 or 3:2 I’m simply not interested. I buy devices like this for productivity. I don't care about black bars when watching videos bec

    I’d go as far as to say that VS Code is the best Electron app.

    Rogers in Canada gives out a /64 by default, and a /56 if you send a hint. Bell, on the other hand, gives a big fat /nothing and doesn't support IPv6. I don't understand how they can roll out 1.5Gbit FTTH but refuse

    I wouldn't call flexbox a framework, really. Bootstrap itself uses flexbox nowadays.

    > BEVs are simply a step backwards in both comfort abd usability. Comfort? Really? Quiet inside and out, no vibrations, no exhaust fumes, no transmission tunnels for extra leg room, pre-heating or cooling when plugged in at home…

    I find it interesting that the dies aren’t completely identical like Zen chiplets are. If I am reading the diagram correctly, it looks like the tiles diagonal from each other are the same. Kind of neat that they’ll have left-hand and right-

    That example is essentially the most basic use of generics. There are much more complex examples that would support your argument better. What do you find confusing about that code?

    I’m not sure Go has ever been a great language for non-CS people, but it’s been a very long time since I was new to programming. Go is pretty clearly a “get shit done” language catered to developers: a productivity tool. Why should it have

    Pretext: I love Go and write most of my day job code in it. To the people moaning about how generics will make their favourite language as awful and ugly as Java: all of the libraries and techniques you like and use today will always work.

    Who the heck has a couple /12s and a /13 just lying around unused? And there are even some earlier pickups of two /10s: 252.0.0.0/10 and 44.192.0.0/10. Wow.

    The cynic in me says they’re taking advantage of the fact that the web UI is a lower friction experience to drive more people towards Codespaces (which are not cheap, by the way).

    Absolutely. I find it much more intuitive than fdisk, for example.

    Naturally when I got the idea I checked this domain first. It’s probably for the best that they price them this way, at least for short domains. I think it’s a considerably shittier to charge a premium for <6-letter-dictionary-word>.d

    Say what you will about Disk Utility. I’d still pick it 10 times out of 10 over Windows Disk Management. It’s still unchanged in Windows 11.
