Yeah I would never want to be a manager. My career is writing code/building software. I like doing that. Pay me according to my ability to ship good code and don't ever make me manage people please.

Optimizing for new users over experienced users in productivity UX design is a big pet peeve for me. You're building software for people to use 5 days a week for their job, make it as easy to use as possible assuming they've spen

You think testing VR apps in a simulator on a laptop is more indicative of the final experience than another VR headset that almost has feature parity? I imagine you'd probably still want to use the simulator to ensure your code will

Using semver doesn't magically make it okay to make breaking changes constantly. It's still a pain for anyone using your library. Semver explicitly encourages you to use major version 0 during early development for this exact reas

Is rewriting switch statements to a bunch of ifs always faster? Or is there some number of cases where the switch is faster? Seems like it should be added as a compiler optimization if it's consistent.

I know people that bought a PS3 on launch for the same reason. They didn't play any games, but it was a cheap Blu-Ray player.

Personally I pretty much always prefer to see graffiti over plain grey concrete, even when it is just simple tags.

I have one, but it's a pretty crappy LCD panel, OLED would be nicer.

It wasn't a serious suggestion for a product, I'm aware there's no market for it.

I did look into it a little bit, I think the reason none exist is because it's actually pretty difficult. Taking in a 720p hdmi signal and pixel doubling to 1440p or tripling to 4k and outputting that as a valid HDMI signal without add

It's very uncommon to find a monitor or TV that actually does non filtered integer scaling, most apply a blurry bilinear scale that looks awful. And afaik there are no external HDMI pixel doublers on the market, I would buy one in a

I've got the opposite request. I'd love a native 720p oled of a decent size for playing Switch (and PS3/360, I've got a bit of collection) games on. It's probably a niche market, but most games on the switch run n

I also find group 3 (in this situation and similar) are often proud of their ignorance too, which can be frustrating. They both haven't had enough experience to properly see the difference and actively try not to.

The PS1/PS2/PS3 controllers were never great for people with bigger hands, but I've noticed people that really dislike them seem to try to hold them with a full palm grip. If you have big hands it can be a lot more comfortabl

I can't stand the offset sticks on the Xbox controller - feels much more natural to me to have both thumbs in the same position. And I massively prefer the shape of the PS4 controller to everything else, including PS5. My ideal control

You say this but there's a lot of unreasonable people around. There's always someone who has cobbled together a workflow on an ipad for whatever they're doing relying on like 5 different commercial applications and a bunch of

Okay I'll bite. * Spinach leaves are "for" transforming sunlight into plant growth. * Rump steak is "for" moving the back leg of a cow. * Honey is "for" feeding bees. Surely on the "food not for human

This is a weird argument. No food is /intended/ to feed humans. Every single thing we eat is just some random bit of plant or animal that happens to be nutritious.

Include cheese and cream under the milk category and you've got a recipe for some bomb scalloped potatoes.

You could maybe fix this with a cooled dock. I'm thinking of all kinds of wacky designs involving exposed heat pipes/metal on the outside of the phone that makes contact with something on the dock.

On a personal level, sounds like a great deal. On a societal level, sounds like it's going to have a negative effect on the industry as a whole. I don't think it's a good idea to allow things like this. You're just givin

I think the comment you're replying to is talking about studying on Adderall, not taking the test on Adderall.

Imo the boycott isn't going far enough. The communities affected by this should just pool resources and either migrate to an existing clone or build one. If it sticks to only hosting text, and handles images/videos via external li

Comparing top marginal tax rates is kinda silly - makes much more sense to pick some "normal" ish salary or salary range (or just your current salary or expected future salary) and compare total percentage taken at that level. The

Why would anyone take the extreme risk of starting any business at all in the United States unless they were already financially independent? Also this idea that taxes are lower in the US is mostly bullshit - once you add together state i

Alternatively phrased: bee "sentimental" is different from human "sentimental" - we make self sacrifices to help other individual humans, bees make (self & other individual) sacrifices to help the hive as a whole.

This is a very important thing to consider when interpreting this statistic. "Heart attack rates go up 24% after daylight savings changes" is not the same thing as "There are 24% more heart attacks due to daylight savings&q

Agreed. VR/AR headsets are amazing for gaming, and I imagine could be pretty useful for 3d modelling type applications too. But after the novelty wore off for me I couldn't imagine using it over just a regular screen for basical

Same thing goes for customer support satisfaction ratings - in some countries people will rate every interaction 5/5 unless something went horrendously wrong, in others something would have to be unusually good to get more than a 3-4
