It's just about what pixel per degree will get you close to the modern irl setup. Obviously it's enough for 80 char consoles but you'd need to dip into large fonts for a desktop.

What do you mean? What part have they not tried?

Hmm I'm not sure I quite understand your question. The renderer uses predefined textures of signed distance fields. Essentially you're building a gradient out from your source vector. You can tweak how that texture is built and

Meh, I think its just hubris to ignore your users (in this case the rest of the team) and tell yourself they're just dumb for not using your clearly perfect system. There is a slight amount of NIH you have to fight, but for the most pa

Stupid question but what are the units used in the results tables??

SDF is awesome but even then it's not a silver bullet. It's a raster technique and some people want vector fonts or subpixel rendering.

> GH Desktop's merging, conflict stuff, and (lack of) graph leave much to be desired I think that's more of the reason why people avoid it.

Its good but actually a little slow at times. For a big repo, it feels like they're handling a few commands synchronously and it hits IDE performance, when they should really be showing some kind of async spinner and yielding so the r

If you're down to try it, I actually think SmartGit is a similar style but ended up working better for the slightly more exotic things like submodules.

Well I think your experience is, if not in the minority, at least not the overwhelming majority. Lots of folks think it's amazing and greatly empowers them.

This seems to move the idea that you might not understand how skilled you are to some kind of law that ties humility to knowledge more strictly. Maybe this is my misunderstanding but I don't think the common invocation really took it a

It's true. Instead of talking about cutting jobs, we'd be talking about all the new companies building new things and AI itself wouldn't be the story. Instead we're still talking about cost cutting. Seems the market is

That doesn't really sound like an invalid analogy, you just don't need the same fire code for all structures but there are still fire codes that apply to building sheds. I'm not sure what your point is. Like, ok, you came up

Is the inline testing good in practice? I do like the clear proximity and scope of the code being tested but I can also imagine trying to cram in all the unit tests and mocking and logging and such. Does the feature end up feeling unused,

Unlike the expertise that Dunning-Kruger to refers to, the skill to create art and understand art are separate. Possibly Dreamweaver might fit because it does give you the sense that making a website is easy but you might not understand wha

I wouldn't call this selling out, exactly. If the issue is endless crunch, its more a matter of having enough money to support it endlessly and an aging workforce that knows their worth and can push back. The issue is trying to force

It's an interesting discussion. Developing an application is applying techniques but by nature, you don't really build the same application many times such that you can come up with rules that the daily grunt applies without thoug

The risk factors are really pretty different. Most software is run in a way that can't burn your house down. In that sense software is far more secure. Physical security is usually actually far easier to break than most software secu

Bad take IMO. Cutscenes are fine. Many are beloved, even. Taking agency away from the player is usually a bad thing, so its not something you want to do when the player has other goals to work on. They are a fine tool to break up the act

No but I was hoping it was. Then insurance would pay for the roll out.

Ok so you need to trust each other's certs. What's the big deal? Presumably you already have some other channel to share addresses so you can also share temporary self signed certs for this purpose.

Yeah, can you believe all those progressive bills he vetoed? ...I mean c'mon now. Congress passed what they could and it cost the Dems greatly. Why are we pretending Obama could have gotten more?

Ok sure but there's plenty of simple video streaming in total screen time, which was the context I was replying to. I never claimed it was a dichotomy, simply a large part of screen time that clearly skews the analysis.

Well, app code is streamed, content is streamed. The app code is run locally. Content is pulled periodically. The mail server is the mail server even for Outlook. Outlook gives you a way to look through email offline. Gmail apps and even

Sure, I was too hyperbolic. I simply meant connecting to the web didn't make it not a PC. The web really pushed adoption, much more than a person computation machine. It was the main use case for most folks.
