Well I didn’t say multiple screens didn't serve a purpose, did I? Having said that, is there any good evidence of a fair comparison of dual screen vs a fast switching single screen. Most Mac and Windows setups make switching so tedio

So what? What’s missing is that unless something depends on the ordering of those ids, it really isn’t a race condition. Just plain happening of events is the inevitable passage of time, not a race condition. What is interesting about wha

what? You need to describe what you’re saying better. How is an ID allocated a comment a “race condition”. A race condition desirable or not has to be related to some sequence of events.. ie its a race with a particular set of outcomes.

1) False. Software screen switching is easily instantaneous. If you literally have two front buffers which, you must for a dual screen setup... there’s no reason you couldn’t flip between them at the refresh rate of your monitor (which is r

As I already mentioned even if it is just the installer that alone sets the tone for a poor support story. Additionally what of the various bugs that are filed and comments about missing or broken functionality. This is not something that m

No not really. They didn’t have much value to begin with. Nothing fundamentally changed.

I’m not saying you’re wrong. But winedb gives garbage status to the latest, the installer on playonlinux is unverified and posted by a banned account. I have found no testimonial that the latest works now other than yours. So here’s the thi

The crowd on HN is biased towards software development, something overwhelmingly well supported on Linux (it’s my daily driver as much as possible for that). But I assume there is a long tail of other professionals here... using their syste

There isn’t just one app, there are plenty. Excel and adobe cs are the obvious ones. If you’re not in programming (exclusively) you’re stuck on Windows or Mac.

He mentions the mech was changed in 2011, mentions there’s a probably little used retrofit and at the end of the video he comments that there are likely many compromised ones still out there. Which is pretty expected if you've seen how

Just because information is out there and accessible doesn’t mean it has much mainstream penetration. Locks are a very niche hobby. Most of my friends and family don’t know shit about locks any more than 30 years ago even though the technol

Who picks a lock to break in? Common thieves have no need to pick locks.. totally dumb for a couple reasons. Contrary to popular nerd belief... door locks in the US are not that easy to pick. Many have anti pick features like reverse side

What? No longer in use? Those things are still widely in use in many mid century and older education and healthcare buildings around NYC.

That’s over 12% APY. I think you’re either getting scammed or full of it.

The second half of your post is survivor bias. The first part of your post is pure hyperbole. There are plenty of places less crime ridden then Baltimore or Detroit where you absolutely have to lock your things or they are likely to get sto

I’m curious with something as poorly understood as takotsubo, how they are so confident to rush to the conclusion that the wasabi must have triggered. I actually read the full text and I dont see any discussion on eliminating confounders, a

Your post manages to say nothing correct. Javascript did not invent callbacks, asynchronous programming, or event driven programming. Nodejs popularized it in the 2010s but you are claiming credit for something that has been in common use

I am aware of that. The “get off my lawn” is a reference to the fact that those of us who are older would not have had access to such modern conveniences as flash memory in high school, and that the poster is too young to be aware of TI cal
