Honest question as I don't know almost anything about modern computer graphics: Is it so much performance penalty to upload a small texture to GPU so you can't render the whole string to the texture in 2D and just display the text

Some operations are best with keyboard (i.e. moving, zooming, panning, duplicating, acessing panels) and you need modifier keys quite often. You can map one or two to the stylus buttons, but that may not be sufficient

It's laggy on windows. On linux it works great.

While still useful to have a native tool, you can use WSL to mount a sshfs path in windows. I even use it for LUKS containers.

If it's true, it's not GDPR. GDPR explicitly does not apply to personal use. There can be other laws that apply here. I am not a lawyer.

Very bad example. Wall clock battery can last a decade. Any isolated power supply will waste much more energy. Also the clock will stop when the power is out.

Wait, what? Are all windows of an application positioned in the same layer on macOS?

Oh, I never considered e-mail as generally stressful. Certainly there are e-mails that can raise my blood pressure, but that usually happens after reading them. I see e-mail mostly as a letter, that I open when I see fit and answer when I c

Is it specific to screens tho? How does it compare to reading a book, writing a letter by hand, sewing, cutting vegetables for lunch, curiously disassenbling an alarm clock or any other activity that requires focus and concentration?

To work around N+1 is to write all your database layer functions in form of getFoosByIds(id[]) instead of getFooById(id). This allows you to easily compose the loads when you have subresources. It's similar to what the author is doing,

I had warts for years as a kid, I had one large on my left palm, that somehow transferred to the same place on right palm and a few little on fingers. Cryotherapy did not help as they grew back soon. Supposedly anti-wart band-aids did not w

Where the email is stored. I'd say there is little impact as when a malicious email ends on disk, it was processed and the potential damage has been done already. I trust the server-side filtering and thunderbird security more than fil

This. Took me some time until I figured this out. I would definitely not discover this if I was a new user, but I migrated my profile from linux where everything was fast (with the same mailbox) so I was suspicious.

Not seamlessly. It seems to work but is half-broken. Id does not properly pair invitations, updates and RSVPs from emails with auto-created items (by the Exchange server) and you end up with duplicates and mess. At leas that was my experien

Sometimes you see the result is wrong so you do not give any points initially and then look on the steps and try to find something that looks correct to give at least some points. The willingness to track through every step diminishes with

Interesting they were actual graphical dialogs with bouse support in 16-bit windows, but you'd get a text-mode blue screen on Win95. Happened a lot to me due to faulty CD-ROM drive. D: can not be read. Abort/retry/fail. What

Maybe I remember it wrong, but I think Mozilla said it is unacceptable in any form and they will not even consider it. I don't like the google way either, but Mozilla is stubborn here and Apple fights for control over app market.

What are you even talking about? PWAs are an option on top of an ordinary web app. I guess all PWAs can be opened in the browser without "installing" them. Also "competing with all other apps" is the fault of OS built-in
