I have a sudden new appreciation for the Lincoln Memorial.

To my eye it looks like either (silk) screen printed or wood block pressed.

When I became a lead dev, one of the first issues I had was a 55 y/o dev who begrudgingly adopted git but consistently included commits like: “Monday morning commit”, “changed some things”, “commit”. He also refused to delete issue tem

>This is probably an unpopular opinion. I wouldn't say so. Historically it's quite common. Maxwell's EM papers used such convoluted notation it it quite difficult to read. It wasn't until they were reformulated in vec

I think maybe more that the users of this website, which is designed in a way that is intensely functional compared to other similar sites, just prefer less “useless” design features.

Personally I like the distinction between them as it gives me context for the object being a pointer, which helps with "at-a-glace" reading of clean code.

In 2018 I spent ~£6300 on train tickets for personal holiday travel all over the UK. Of that, almost 50% of it was refunded due to meeting requirements for partial refunds due to delayed/cancelled services. After that experience, I pur

I have had a RX580, RX590, 6600XT, and 7900XT using Linux with minimal issues. My partner has had a RX590, 7700XT on Windows and she's had so many issues it's infuriating.

I still play D2 thanks to the hard work at the folks running Project Diablo 2[1]. Perspective mode looks absolutely beautiful at 144fps; it's somewhat hard to go back to the 30fps of the original LoD client. Even now, I still have the

In around 2017 I had a scholarship at Wuhan University. During that time the university hosted a cultural fair for international students. What was most interesting to me (as someone from the UK) was that I met for the first time ever stude

Looks like Ilya asked GTP4 to produce an empathetic support message.

This should be a product.

I absolutely agree. It is functional and stable, but my gosh I can’t stand the design. The oversized top decoration for windows as well as the extremely poorly rendered pop-up for hovering over elements on the task bar.

I use a Beastmaker 1000 hangboard and follow the Emil's Sub-max Daily Fingerboard Routine on the app Crimpd each day. Absolutely amazing results within a month. I really suggest everyone gives it a try.

That second point is something that drives me CRAZY. For years I would keep YouTube or Twitch streams open on the second monitor. Now I deal with constant fps loss, video stutters or freezing. Absolutely bizarre regression in performance.

I'm in the same boat. It's almost the only application I miss! I use Okular but I think Sumatra just has the right UI for me.

My best friend works for them in diagnostic sub-systems development. The product is still a long way off delivery with many systems being actively designed and refined. Basically it’s busy but will still be quite a while (3-5+ years at leas

I wouldn’t really say the visual aspect of HN really puts people off. I would argue that it’s more a function of discussion topics being more niche and technical. Ultimately the worst situation is when replies can consist of only a “joke” o

I have been very lucky in that I’m completely flexible for working at home (in my study) or the office. I can say with certainty that I’m more productive (on average) at home than in the office. However, something I never imagined would be

I also recommend Muji for pens. Also their mechanical pencils are great too.

Why would you say that? Even as someone who is not religious I think he makes quite an interesting argument for the metric used by many to measure success.

I once had to go to court as an individual had attempted to stab myself and another (we had tried to stop them from escaping the police). During the suspect identification process I failed completely; the suspect was bald and had a spider t

He supervisor said something that sticks with me: “The person in the crows nest shouting “land ho!” Doesn’t get the credit, it’s the captain of the ship”. While there’s some truth to that, it’s certainly the case that many people who work h

Well his statement is definitely excessive, however I would agree that there is a shocking cultural problem with the acceptance of cheating in China. I speak Mandarin and have lived in China, my partner is Chinese. I was shocked during her

I’m in the same situation. I used the Guardian as one of my main new sources but it’s become painfully bias towards the left. I long for a source that gives solid middle ground information and analysis.

I’ve had a similar experience. I think it simply comes down to emotional maturity and more diverse life experiences. It makes it much easier to empathise with characters, as well as critically analyse the subtext. One thing I found quite di

Yep, the characters used are 防火长城. This is literally "Fireproof Greatwall".
