Not only do you lose the community as already mentioned, but you lose the accumulated data (i.e. post content). This might not matter for a social community; it matters a lot if the community is of a more technical nature; i.e. repair&#x2F

Alright guys, hear me out… Let’s build a browser inside of virtual assembly code that runs in a browser that runs on an OS that runs on real assembly code (sort of). We could run that on a physical processor, or in a VM (hey, maybe we coul

You need a whole damn extra card for passthrough. With the price of today’s high end cards, that option seems… less than attractive.

Actually, he’s talking about vi, not vim. You’re a whole ‘nother rung up the ladder with vim.

And then we wonder why our software can’t run acceptably on multi ghz processors.

Are you sure this isn’t because you have more talent/competence for programming than writing? Or that you haven’t set the bars differently? Writing is a daunting task for me, but that has more to do with my own talents and experience

Okay, this is fair.

Of course that would be silly. Who is claiming that?

Books are a marketing solution in search of a problem. Watch a movie. …convincing, isn’t it?

by mtrower 4y ago
I think this is probably a valid solution in many cases. However, it is not a computer monitor, which is the explicit item at question here.
78.
by mtrower 4y ago
That is incorrect. A TV is a display panel optimized around a 10’ interactive distance. A computer monitor is a display panel generally targeting 2’-3’ at most.

So, you say you don’t know why people are upset with these devices, but people are telling you why and you’re just not accepting it. You literally told the other guy that he’s optimizing for the wrong thing, as if his priorities are somehow

Hmm, maybe more like “recommend me a manual transmission vehicle” and the answer you get back is why you really want an automatic, and here are some nice models you can buy that are all automatic. Infuriating in either case.

Just how “underpowered” are we taking here? I’m having a really hard time imagining a chip which cannot render a menu in non-fractional fps. An 8088 can do this… So it still sounds like a software problem to me.

Rolls nicely off the tongue, too.

Small number of people? You’re right, the average user doesn’t care about all of these details. They just care about the big picture they create, and how that’s terrible.

by mtrower 4y ago
Uh… no, none of that, actually. What the hell? In fact, I actually don’t personally know anybody , of any technical level or age group, who uses any of the features you mentioned. So, maybe the market is not as small as you think. &gt

I mean it needs a tuner to actually qualify as a TV. The bit about latencies and form factor, as well as the pricing for such, is also critical. As is the remote. If he truly doesn’t care about any of those things, then I doubt he’d be her

This doesn’t really invalidate those studies. What it does do, is force you to restructure your work so that you can get work done anyway. Whether it’s more or less effective than interrupted, “zoned” work is going to depend on the individu
