It might be supported but non obvious, some TVs only support 4k60 through one of the HDMI ports. It could also be a cable issue, although I believe the option usually shows up on cables that dont support it and only fails once you try to sw

A lot of languages do have auto formatters with opinionated defaults for this. For go, gofmt is so opinionated that you can't even configure it, which is kinda cool because it means all go code that uses it will look the same. There&

Well no, I imagine that that group would somewhat self select for developers who are okay with reading whitespace based syntax. Someone who finds it hard to read is probably not going to become a regular user of the language unless they hav

Imo the whole whitespace sensitivity thing was a mistake to begin with. It makes code harder to read, harder to write and harder to parse with only the benefit of being a little easier to understand to absolute beginners (and I'm not e

I'm hoping that Microsoft just implements it natively eventually - their window snapping/tiling-lite functionality has been steadily getting better so they clearly have people working on this kind of window UX QOL stuff.

Pretty sure it's even bigger on Windows 11, same with the taskbar. Gnome 3 has the same issue.

I much prefer what a lot of Linux desktop environments support, which is holding down alt and clicking anywhere on a window to move it. With that + a keyboard shortcut for closing a window you can get rid of title bars on apps entirely if y

I think community run wow servers are just less popular now because of official wow classic. When Blizzard inevitably fucks that up people will go back to community run servers.

You could still run a chess engine offline on a decently powerful phone that would beat high rated players afaik.

Same here - feels very unintuitive to have to click the name of the page you're currently on to go back to the parent - feels like it should display 'Parent > Current' rather than just 'Current'. And probably r

I knew a few people who were stuck in that mindset of "if I don't get straight As in everything I'm going to be doomed forever" mindset in both highschool and university. It did not seem to make them very happy, and it&#

But by that argument every feature in a language is it's own separate language. "This is the language that can only be written inside function definitions", "This is the language that can only be written inside ternary

As far as I'm concerned any programming language either has a good, builtin, type safe macro system, or people are going to use code generation (on large complex projects). And I never want to have to work on something with custom code

Unsafe Rust is just Rust, but there's a few extra things you can do inside unsafe blocks that you can't normally do outside them (because they're unsafe). I wouldn't call it a different language.

I generally won't use any game store that doesn't have text reviews, they're so so much more useful than just numerical scores/star ratings. I especially like being able to read negative reviews on games that look appeal

Unfortunately only portable to systems with fast CPUs though. Although I guess rendering simple 3d shapes probably runs just fine on low end hardware.

I don't think I've ever had Teams crash on me, or even hang noticeably in a few years of using it. I am always on fairly beefy devices though.

The Office is a bad example in this context though, because it's the one show where the US version was (arguably) an improvement over the UK version, and way more popular than the UK version even outside of the US.

Ah, the "smoke a whole pack of cigarettes" method of teaching software dev. I kinda agree - often no amount of "this is a bad idea" will teach as well as just letting someone make the mistake and actually experience the

Yeah the recency bias is really annoying to me. I'll get really interested in some new topic for a bit and watch a bunch of videos about it and it seems like YouTube takes that as a signal to bump other topics out of my recommendations

You can absolutely write fairly nice functional code in Java already with a decent Either type, streams etc. I imagine it's not that widespread because most people probably switch to a different JVM language like Scala rather than goin

I meant more at an individual level - like if I use 100gb of bandwidth today, and 200gb of bandwidth tomorrow there's a good chance that the extra power consumption on at least some of the network from my extra bandwidth is zero if wha

You also need to take into account the fact that most of this equipment is always going to be turned on and processing some non trivial level of load whether you're sending requests or not. There's generally going to be a differen

There seems to be a lot here that doesn't pass even a cursory sniff test. Just thinking about the power consumption of the networking equipment involved and doing some quick napkin math should have at least made them suspicious of thei

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a Metroidvania (and the first Metroidvania in the Castlevania series, with almost every 2d Castlevania released after that also being a Metroidvania). Castlevania 1 is not a Metroidvania. Metroid 1 is
