Exactly, tiny text on the main screen (if I un-dim it, Immersed dims it automatically). I am not aware of text issues, I guess I never noticed any. There is a mouse emulation mode that is supposed to be more responsive, and native mouse - I

I can only describe my setup, have never tried an 8k monitor. I am guessing I have about 40 PPD. I still have a sliver of space on each side where I see part of my support screens (vertical 1080P on each side). It has a 110 degree horizonta

I use a Quest 3 + Immersed software and code 6+ hours a day like this. One giant 50" monitor + 3 support ones on the sides. Best "monitors" ever. I love that I have no eye strain at the end of the day. It must be a Quest 3, n

If I could afford a Porsche I would still get a manual option. Changing gears cleanly, heel-toe blipping the throttle when gearing down, getting the right gear at the right time - simple pleasures. It seems the more refined cars become the

You will be inside of Xcode for most of your time - I just upgraded to a 13" Air (maxed out configuration) from my 2012 11" Macbook Air which was still fine with Xcode. I think any Mac will run Xcode well enough.

When last did you change jobs? A year ago I did and set a hard minimum at 120, and managed 2 offers as high as 160 and took a lower one due to more interesting work and great environment. And had to cancel 3 more on site interviews that kne

The IDE is where the super powers are. Like any IDE it just takes a little time. https://pharo.org/ has an online course to get into it. Being in a live system is unlike anything else - the first time a debugger appears an

They are still positional in Swift. color(r: 255, g: 255, b: 255) is not the same as color(b: 255, g: 255, r: 255). Also the parameter names are part of the method signature.

Is 10 years normal for the lifespan of a car? Mine is 23 now, still works fine, and I feel is nicer than similar new cars in terms of interior finishes, hydraulic power steering, actual buttons for climate control that do their one thing we

“Stepping through code a line at a time” is a rather narrow definition of using a debugger. Setting a logging breakpoint. Conditionally breaking. Introspection by calling functions while the program is paused. Testing assumptions by calling

This scheme has been Running in South Africa since 1981: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakensberg_Pumped_Storage_S... It’s interesting as it is a network of a few dams and rivers over a very large area.

Who is judging the skill of these sudden savants? Aside from code, I draw and paint well (art school) and have built my own furniture. I know I am far from an expert. However to people who's last artistic endeavour was finger painting

I believe the Squeak/Pharo VMs are much faster than the Python and Ruby interpreters. There are other tricks - an Int maybe be an object, but a special one that fits in a register. The part that other languages don’t get is it’s the S

My experience is the polar opposite - I've had updates before and after, even just to say sorry it's taking so long (4 days isn't long to me). It must very much depend on who is taking care of you.

You are thinking logically. It's not applied in Vancouver. I rent for just over 2k. If my place was put up for sale, it would be for just over 1 million. Factor in $300 a month strata fees, another $200 for insurance, if they owner has

I agree, but would add I wish student had to build compilers/interpreters for 3 languages: Forth, Lisp and something like C. As a student we went right into C: BNFs, lex, yacc, emitting machine code, optimizations, etc. Very interest

I've been using Notational Velocity for a while in this way. It's wonderful. Synced on Dropbox, my "little black book" is available on any device I have at hand, and instantly searchable.

They are quite easy to repair. The outside "shield" is actually one of the wires, so very easy to match the ends as the wires have a completely different make up. I have repaired mine in a few places (no cable can take on a bunny)

I think there will always be a place for individual car ownership, mainly because of morons. I am a member of a car coop which has 400 or so cars in its pool. When it was a lot smaller it was great. Most people were the kind who do things

I love Obj-C (probably because I love Smalltalk). Before Swift 2, I didn't see what the excitement was about. Since using Swift 2, I want to use it everywhere. I will miss some of the dynamic features of Obj-C, but there are other ways

One of the video snippets showed the remote being used to drive a car. Good enough for the casual players.
