Because there is nothing wrong with good old IRC. It was developed to a point and left alone. Trying to improve it could actually lead to overengeeniring and spoiling the protocol. If IRC is not what you want, look for alternatives.
There are plenty of those.
Yeah.. Exacly this. I recently started to look for monitor, and dug up site with DPI etc. That high DPI monitors annoys me a lot, its actually very hard to get anything w/ Pixel Size larger than 300um. Smaller pixel put a lot of strain on my old eyes... And upscaling really suxx.. unless you do 200% with means you need to buy expensive gear like 150um pixel size.. and upscale x2...
Absolutly no extras. I used to use SlickRun with is much more heavier tool, but I never ever used those extras. And since I started to using Desktops 2.0, I had to write my own tool that was aware of virtual desktops. Everything else I handle from bash (Cygwin).
Yeah I am, but im on very old Windows.. Also, I never bother that much about windows positioning. Because most stuff is usually maximized already, hence I often use alt+tab to switch. As for multiple desktops, I use Desktops 2.0 with is great little utility to create 4 virtual desktops. You can switch between them using Win+[1-4] so again, keyboard shortcuts. You cannot move windows between desktops but its not issue for me. I like this feature actually. I treat those desktops like some contexts. Basic, Work, VM.. So, apps cannot escape given desktop.. And apps are nicely segregated this way. Switch is instant.
Thats interesting. Im using GUI Windows OS, but im very heavy keyboard user, utilizing shortcuts and alt+tab for windows switching. I barely even use start
or desktop to start most common apps I use. I wrote myself QuickRun tool that is activated by Win+Q, and I type what I want to run. Usually its just 2-3 first letters of alias name, like bash and autocompletion kicks in. Mouse is used mostly to position windows sometimes. Keyboard is just much faster..
Im not really understand that preasure for this. Imo its much more sane
to reduce working day from 8 hours to 6 hours.. You then use 12 hrs day shifts
and use 2x6 or either 4x6 only for critical stuff like medical, some specialized industries, etc.. Mon-Fri and weekend free sound just about good fit.
Remember that you can always take a day off as well.
Is scary that big cities never sleeps. People moan about depression, about lack of good sleep, wellbeing. Well, you created shitty environment for yourself...
Yeah, thats the problem as well. Pretty shitty employment flexibility. Part time worker? Nah, we will take someone who will work fulltime for us. Remote job? Hmmm
Ill take one who will sit in office. Freelancing is indeed solution for that.. Albait, a bit risky...
Yet you forget that tiles based maps are plays very nicely even with simplest HTTP caching (even multiple layers of them). Compared to vector stuff that needs caches that are range requests aware, or some magic block storage.
I somehow prefer to stick to tile based maps because caching, easy rendering and I also care about sat images, with cannot be vectorized.
When I see such code I chukle... Really? I always try to make my code as flat as possible, either using next or break (or split to function and use return).
Thats why I sometimes miss goto. But case can emulate it pretty fine.
Thats least of your problem imo. Neutron corrosion is bigger problem. There is trick to use Lithium shielding, with create Tritium needed for Fussion. But not sure how effective it is, especially for long term reactor lifetime. Those reactors are very expensive, not sure if its worth to shut it down every year and replace entire Li shielding...
Its depends what you like. Usually programmers focus more on game engine part, while designers on the other. And thats why is hard to make game solo :)
Galaxial developer fall into that hole too. Too bad, because alphas looks absolutly super great.
I think there should be more networks like this. Not necessary for learning, but to provide interesting services.
Im not fan of anonymous model. Pseudo anonymous one seems to fit better. You still protect your identity by providing handle (or IP), so reputation matters.
Yeah, my setup too, XFS + mdadm (+ eventually LVM2). Rock solid. It might not have HW raid performance, but in terms of stability, flexibility and recovery its absolutly unbeatable!
You can also add DDoS to the list too. Ive been long DooM player but I stepped back due to above crap and DDoSes on my servers. Now I play mostly offline, ocassioanlly spawning server for friends only.
Its sad for me to watch such comments.. Really. People always just focus on one particular issue/problem and try to solve it ignoring anything else. Open your eyes and look a bit broader view. Energy is NOT the only problem. Waste is another very serious one, usually ommited because.. Lets dump it to some 3th world countries and issue is gone right? Nope...
Not really.. IPv6 was theoretically ready in 1997. But, it was theoretical. It was still buggy. In 2000s Internet expansion skyrocketed and noone really cared about IPv6. Buggy, too different from IPv4, basically overengineered. They made prediction that was absolutly off.. And thats why adoption is crappy.
Who cares if you do the job? I have much higher efficency at home compared to office. No distractions, no wasted time communiting. I can organize myself better too. If I need to take a break, I do it and then I do job later, still keeping 8h of work, just splited.
The problem is how you are accounted for doing work. By tasks or by time spent in office... I saw people in office doing nothing, just talks on kitchen or answering emails.. When asked about tasks.. Im working hard sir.. heh.
Its a bit complicated matter, because when you are more efficient, boss usually will attach new tasks so you have to work harder or be even more efficient. And those who are less efficient dont get new tasks.. Not smart..
Holy shit... That property tax is awfull thing. It should never ever happen. Not to simple people, owning one property, aka home. So much freedom, country of dreams...
Ahaha :) Nice on. Its kinda similar to my net docs system written in ruby. I just type blgrep ip=192.168.0.10,15 hosts.txt and get answer, before people start any IPAM :) CLI power... Unfortunately, it does not get right respect these days.
Its not that easy. Yeah, they are, but there is a lot of POSIX like glue inside
so they work correctly with select() and other alarms. Code is very complicated.
But still, kudos for Cygwin Developers for creating Cygwin :) Great work, even tho it have some issues.
Yeah, it seems you are confused. Guys in Power cannot do anything by themselfs. Usually they are no-skill people, hence went for power to give orders. Now imagine situation when you have an AI that can provide you with any data and solution. All you need is to provide a query and you will get answer with explanation. Next step is, it will send command to automated factory to actually produce the thing. Now, all those people in power, why they will need scientists and engineers for? They never listen to them unless it will directly benefit them. Is sad that people lack such an imagination.
All those scientists and engineers just provide tools for their own doom.
Im dont with this thread, I cannot explain it better anymore.
