> Probably won't be shut down by Capcom either, given their past history of supporting fan projects.

That's pretty cool, any notable examples?

A long time ago I worked with a developer on an OS X tetris game with online competitive play and other customization. It was a really fun project and developed a nice little community until The Tetris Company started sending us C&D's.
This happened at demand media right before IPO. Everyone was stoked to finally be able to exercise their stocks. Great opening but we were all blocked from selling. Once any of the non execs could sell the price basically screwed everyone over. Unless you were an early employee you ended up losing money. Not a good position to be in. Moral wasn't very high when I left...
That's not a commute, that's a business trip.
I bought the U3415W when it first came out. At first it was for games (coming from 3x U2412Ms) however I quickly realised how incredibly good the 21:9 3440x1440 resolution is for programming. No DPI scaling needs be involved, so I'm looking at Visual Studio experience where even with NCrunch unit test runners and the Solution overview, I have plenty of room for two main code editing windows. Brilliant.

I ended up buying an extra Acer X34 for home (surrounded by 2x U2412Ms on an Ergotech stand) and brought the U3415W to work as a personal device.

The 38" could potentially be even better, however I'm rather happy with the 34" as is. It's a bit of a shame they didn't add Freesync to it.
Except that Adblock Plus wasn't the problem when Firefox was slow with web apps or sites that used JavaScript to load content. Firefox's JavaScript engine lagged significantly behind Chrome (and Safari) for a few years. It still does in a few areas.
Hi, author here. Wow, this was a while ago, I'd forgotten I wrote that.

There's a version of this using a directory of images and loads in a bigger picture if you zoom in: http://fhtr.org/multires/ (Note that, yes, it'd be better to have a tile map for large resolutions and load in just the visible part of the image. And dump the hi-res tiles when zoomed out.)

SPIF's intention was to throw out a "it'd be cool if browsers supported something like this natively"-proposal, as the browser knows best what pixels of an image are needed for sharp rendering. For the webdev, the experience would be to just put the image on a page, rest assured that it looks good. Like with SVG.

Yes, loading JPEG2000 / progressive JPEG with stream truncation would be nice.

Images don't load on iOS? Probably some silly bug in my code.

Images can't be saved with right-click? That's probably due to using revokeObjectURL after loading the image from a blob.
I will get
This is a resolution you can use 1:1 without DPI scaling. The key here is massive real estate.
Which timeframe are we talking about? Personally I have never had any problem with FF and considered this recurring slowness complaint ~fud. I dug up some old benchmarks just to see what was I missing out on not defaulting to Chrome [1][2]. Surprisingly both have FF in front. However I don't think benchmarks tell much about the browsing experience. Indeed sporting an adblocker makes a much bigger difference than a bit lower memory consumption for example.

Imo both FF and Chrome are very capable browsers and Mozilla lost significant market share simply because Chrome had better promotion.

> so it is calibrated to 99% sRGB color space. What it looks like on this monitor will be what it should look like in print and on the best of every other display.

That’s completely useless for graphic design. sRGB is defined as the lowest common denominator of CRTs on the market in the early 90s.

Actual monitors for graphic design purposes, every TV released in 2017, and most new gaming monitors use instead AdobeRGB or DCI-P3 colorspace or even Rec.2020, which is what is also used in cinemas.

For comparison, this is 100% sRGB (what you claimed is "for graphic design" vs. 100% Rec.2020 "what most new TVs and gaming monitors support"): https://dotcolordotcom.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/rec2020-v...

> The underpaid people can now objectively see which other companies pay better

You mean, the ignorant people who don't care about pay, can now demand more? If you are being underpaid, it is because you don't care enough to 1) figure out what market rate is and/or 2) negotiate better. Salaries being public or not. No one deserves anything in life and you often get what you negotiate -- there are plenty of people who don't understand this.

Just because other companies (publicly) pay more, doesn't mean they will get the same pay as the other people are making.

Hello, you mention it as a serious problem.
I agree and I think it's good to be aware of it.

I don't believe it should be up to the browser to deal with tabs.
I don't actually believe tabs are a particularly good representation of browsing.

Using extremely light browsers such as surf (http://surf.suckless.org)
in a good window manager such as i3 (https://i3wm.org)
makes each page a first class window, without any browser clutter.

You soon learn to browse with as few pages open as possible.
Opening new tabs is a promise to spend time in the future.
Using simpler linear navigation helps keeping focus.
I want to know why I'm browsing, not hoping that I go through every tab
that I lazily felt I might need to see in some open-ended future.

Low DPI, certainly Dell's traditional low quality anti-glare filter (3h). When will they wake up and build monitors for people who work with letters and numbers (vs video or image) and favor quality over price? For a few years I think I will still have to switch every programms to dark theme as a work around to hide the poor quality and defaults of the monitors... sad. :(

"Going forward, Parity will try to arrange a bug-bounty programme."

I was going to dismiss this on the grounds that it is hard to compete with the implicit bounty that all the funds in contracts present to the black-hats, but on second thoughts, it would have the benefit of motivating ethical hackers who are too skeptical of Solidity to have anything at risk in Ethereum. It seems plausible that skeptical people are more likely to find bugs, all else (including motivation) being equal.
On Linux, it is becoming better, but still a lot more to improve.

Even on Fedora 26, I have to manually patch and recompile Mutter to get HiDPI support on Wayland. Mutter is hardcoded [1] to use 2x scaling on displays that are 192 PPI or more. My Dell p2415q is 188.2 PPI, so you get 1x 'scaling' by default and everything is tiny. This problem has been known for a while [2].

And even though GNOME applications then generally work well, you have to start Chromium with a special flag to let it run with scaling. There are a lot of glitches throughout the system, e.g. the mouse cursor has the right size, but when you go to a window corner to resize a window, it becomes tiny. A lot of icons are blurry, because they have a low resolution and are scaled up.

macOS is basically plug & play. All applications are in full HiDPI glory. The only exception are websites that use low-resolution images. There is one catch: the (terribly expensive) Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter only supports 4k at 30Hz. This refresh rate is very tiring and annoying. However, a USB-C -> DisplayPort ALT mode connector works great @ 60Hz.

[1] IIRC there is work in the master branch to solve this.

My commute is far longer - takes longer than a minute to boil the kettle l, and I don't start the morning stand up without first sitting down with a cup of tea.
Linux and FreeBSD (and probably a couple of other systems I am too lazy to check up on right now) have FUSE, which allows a file system driver to run in user space.

I think what FUSE allows one to do is similar, but one has to mount the "file system" first. There are some pretty clever drivers out there - I have seen one that took a directory tree of flac files and mounted it as a directory tree where all the flac files have been replaced by mp3 files; when you open one of the mp3 files, the driver performs the conversion transparently. There is one driver, I think, that transparently turns access to files into Google searches, so opening a file named "zebu" will give you a file of search results Google returned for that term. And I would guess there some even more ... special ones out there.

But besides the trouble of mounting such a "file system" first, the OS kernel itself has no knowledge of what the driver does. It simply passes back and forth access requests and data (roughly speaking, I have never written one myself).

On Windows, many functions in the Win32 API take a parameter that designates a host on which to perform the operation. So the operating system at kernel level has a notion that there are other Windows systems out there it can talk to over the network and send each other commands or data.

On Unixoid systems, I sometimes miss this builtin network access which is automatically supported by all applications. OTOH, that opens a large can of worms, given the number of security issues that have come up over the years with Windows' SMB protocol or its RPC mechanism. So maybe the status quo is good.

Now that I think of it, Microsoft's Powershell allows something like a translator. They are called Providers, I think. One can access the Windows registry a directory tree-like structure and add or delete values by creating or removing "files".
I think it is extensible, too. I vaguely remember that it is possible to traverse the directory tree of a Windows domain.
On Linux this functionality is usually provided by GVFS or KIO. But if you have authenticated to a network resource under Dolphin (KIO), you can't necessarily edit a file using a GTK+-based editor - or even a Qt one that isn't KIO-aware. I think GVFS has the better design: falling back to symlinks is just less surprising for mixed applications (e.g. can't open a terminal on a KIO smb:// directory) even if you can't map everything perfectly to POSIX semantics.

I think when two monitors are connected, Windows still has issues with correctly transitioning the software from one scale to another. But that's at the system level and can be solved. The main issue is legacy software that would require complete rewrite to support scaling. A bit issue in those cases is that the community is completely unwilling to support such displays, with silly claims such as "you can't see the difference".
That's not exactly true. On Linux, it's a real shit show because only KDE (Qt) supports proper fractional scaling, GTK apps don't. GTK supports 100%, 200%, and so on. You can play with xrandr, but that'll cause serious other issues (not even speaking about multi-monitor setups).

On Win10, however, all of the programs I'm using have flawless hidpi support - browsers, IntelliJ, console windows (cmder), Spotify, etc. W10 supports per-display DPI as well.

I don't know which applications are "crashing", that sounds like FUD. I know about two notable exceptions that don't have good hidpi support: Adobe tools and Hyper-V.

This article confuses how top-level economists (who are de facto politicians) that attribute sometimes questionable decision making to models (most of the times due to political pressure) with a honest and very complex (at the edge of academic research) profession.
It points out the it got so "mathy" that it kind of decoupled from non-technocrats but that can easily be said about literally any field today. What amazes me most is that the author complains about how that happens in the US, the most transparent and actually research-based application of economics in the world. I would invite you to go to some other less developed countries to see how "wonky" economics couples with intelectual dishonesty tries (and many time succeeds) to fool the many in favor of the few. And again, using wonky arguments to fool people is a practice that happens in any field, dismissing an entire profession who actually brought many advances to modern societies is ridiculous.
The advance in statistics and econometrics is what made machine learning possible... I have to say, it has been a while since I've read such nonsense trying to pass as a good analysis/critique.

Really, because we must censor ideas like "love your enemies" and "treat others the way you want to be treated"? (Matthew 5:44) (https://youtu.be/L0HhHLHLHaA)

I agree that abusers will use any name for their own means, but generalization of a group because of false persons who claim that group is never helpful.

Of course there are the false teachers who use Christianity for their own power (i.e. televangelist types), but there are also people who actually believe the great teachings like forgiveness and love one another. They are the ones who will pick you up when someone else has beaten you into the mud.

Chrome/Chromium is notoriously bad at adopting any technology. On Windows, it took them years to support scaling other than 1x, color Emoji was added very recently, etc. I think on Linux it is even worse. Have they finally fixed ligature support in Chromium?

>> It is bad for negotiation and getting a favourable outcome for yourself

Sooo, your main argument against this is not some privacy concern, but only the perception that it would somehow help your salary negotiation.

>> which is how they roll in Norway, and if you dare make more, they'll basically just tax it away

Norway's tax rate is on par with other Nordic countries: high but nothing exceptional, and you get plenty of benefits (basically you get what you paid for). It's not stopping anybody from trying to make it. As a matter of fact they have one of the highest rate of millionaires per inhabitant (close to 200k for 5M).

Yeah, it's weird. Early economists clearly didn't have the data or computing capability available to do analysis on the real world. So instead the took some inspiration from it and then built these simplified models, that were at least possible to study and make conclusions about. However, because real-world economic outcomes are so important, politically and socially, people ended up taking their conclusions and trying to apply them back to the real world.

It's as if, after early AI researchers who took some inspiration from biology to create neural networks, the medical establishment then took their results and decided to use them as a guide to performing brain surgery.
The other day I was considering commenting in a negative way about something the NSA tweeted, but a voice in my head said, "Do you really want to be put on a special surveilance list?" That's when I realized our freedoms are under threat by those that are tasked with defending them. Think what you will about the NSA, but they certainly have not gone out of their way to make clear to me they care about my freedoms. Lying to congress, private courts granting warrants via secret constitution interpretations -- something is very wrong here. I fear the NSA as an upstanding citizen and they seem to be OK with that.

Also more related to your comment the "don't watch ISIS videos it gives them power." I think it's misguided. Just out of curiousity I tracked down a couple of them online and it was very thought provoking. It did not make me fear ISIS more, but it did help me understand the situation more. Just not convinced intelligent people should avoid uncensored information collection, but there is so much being censored in the US right now and the media encourages you to not educate yourself on both sides.
Don't like it, block it. No one is forcing you to look at it -- unlike your example. I fail to see what the problem is.
