Yeah I usually introduce Rider to .Net developers by saying "it's by the folks who do ReSharper".

As others point out, that's F#, but yes C# has `async`/`await`, and has all the `Promise` methods, just under the `Task` class instead (and with slightly different names/calling conventions through out).

There's still a lot of folks who consider themselves .Net experts who don't know how to program with async/await, so knowing about a niche IDE (which I also exclusively use) is asking a lot for those people.

Linux manages just fine without a QC department. However, it also only takes responsibility for the "kernel". Various components around the kernel can be broken, and indeed some filesystems can cause file loss, but users full-well

That does sound like a punishment for not using it. My statement was more whether they actively sell you a discount for using it.

For those interested, funding gaps only really became a thing in the 1970's, during Ford's administration [0]. It wasn't until a new interpretation of the Anti-Deficiency Act of 1880 that they became known as "shutdowns&

This did make me curious, when did the federal government start "running" on a budget and "shutting down" when it doesn't have enough money? All 250 years, or is this a more recent phenomenon?

Yes, in whatever way congress directs, and as long as it doesn't violate the constitution (if you want to change the constitution, you have to amend it). The executive branch is merely supposed to execute the law as congress writes it.

I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time for the old "Tea Party" to rise up again and start protesting this.

This is an unavoidable result of lazy layouts. With the LazyList in Jetpack compose, it's comically difficult to produce a scrollbar, because the "LazyList" only ever lays out the visible items, so Compose can't really k

I have a laptop with the same GPU, and Diablo 4 runs really well out of Lutris. Graphics version 570, and the CPU is an AMD with a Radeon 680M integrated. I often play games with FSR on, which probably keeps performance higher?

While I respect the desire to save energy, this feels a little bit like barking up the wrong tree. How much energy does it take to load ads in the taskbar and start menu? How much energy does it take to take screenshots every 3 seconds?
