I use a 4k 28inch as my primary monitor for code at home (laptop screen has email and slack). I run i3wm and typically code with 4 terminals windows next splitting the monitor into 4 equal sub windows, each having 1080p and running vim. It&

I'm a little bit in the opposite camp. I live in the UK and have lived here for a total of more than 10 years in the last 20, but I have a EU passport. I would not say that I feel that I'm British, but I have strong ties with the

It the same way that "Made in Japan" or "Made in Taiwan" used to be a label for cheap knock offs. Over time, as China shifts their economy, it will probably change, but right now "Made in China" have a certain

There are multiple ways, but considering they own a company that is supposed to do this as a service, failing to do this for the own biggest game seems a bit weak. https://www.superawesome.com/

Sony hasn't bought anything on this scale (and the scale of Bethesda) though. Microsoft have also bought plenty of smaller studios without getting into much trouble. I personally am glad that they seem to react before it's too lat

Lots of cities have these by now. The ones I'm aware of on top of my head are London, Copenhagen and Singapore. I'm sure there are many more. The difference is probably that they don't have to interact with unknown factors (h

In my experience, there a many lower hanging fruits in British houses to save energy than this. Uninsulated and draughty old houses seems to be the norm here (at least if you're renting). I'm surprised the government is not pursui

There has to be a balance though. I remember hearing (probably a HN comment) that all the UI designers in the Windows team at MS use Macs, which blew my mind, but also explained so much. If you have people working on designing and improving

What I have noticed is that the more menial, low paid and generally low desirable a job is, the higher that initial barrier is. I suspect it is to at least some extend intentional, though I struggle to understand why that is. On the other h

Anecdotal, but I have twice in the last year heard from the same friend of 2 instances where the waiting time for an ambulance was around an hour. The first was when he observed an accident where a car hit a guy on a scooter. The guy was hu

A few years ago I had an infected gallbladder. It was enormously painful, and I went to ER. It might not have been potentially fatal (I'm honestly not sure if you can die from it), but I didn't know that. I just knew I was in a ri

I'm so happy Microsoft's attempt to buy Discord died. Intuitively it would have been great, MS would be able to leverage Discord tech and make their other products better. The reality would have been, like their purchase of Skype,

They quite often rebury remains from more recent burials in the UK (100-200 years ago), for instance if the land of an old cemetery is repurposed (there have actually been several examples of this on HS2 as well). I don't quite know wh

I think it's inertia and age. I joined a few IRC channels when I was a teenager for topics I were interested (Tolkien and old Disney films) and poked around in a lot of other communities, but never really stuck with any in particular.
