I switched from 2x24" to 1x34" uwqhd and it's so much better

my setup would not work without bettertouchtool and the floating web view (https://docs.bettertouchtool.net/docs/floating_html_menu.htm...) that allows you to show a fully customizable view with custom controls triggering btt actions

* I can sit and look in a symmetrical centered way. previously one screen was always "main" and I would naturally keep my head rotated more often left than right causing neck pain

* the btt view allows me to have all kinds of flexible layout, see https://i.imgur.com/wHyS3HP.png for my webview setup. every color is a different kind of layout, dark purple was intended to be most often used and thus easier to reach (webview opens with mouse in the middle). But I have noticed that i rarely use the 60% middle width one so might change that

* if i read something i can put it center view, roughly 60% width

* widescreen allows for 4 windows with somewhat normal ratios in each corner. do that on a normal screen and they are way too narrow for e.g. browsers, editors with sidebars etc.

* curved screens are super nice

* i exclusively use a single iterm2 hotkey window, single screen means all is in one place and it just fits more. with two screens i would have to designate one for the hotkey overlay. 2x4 terminal sessions seems like a great fit for most things

things i wish were differently:

* its not yet possible to get real high dpi on widescreen. 2x4k screens are nicer here

* btt will only allow modification of window dimensions of the currently focussed window, not the under the mouse location when pressing the webview shortcut (middle mouse for me)
> Birmingham is a motor city. You don't get a bus,

I work in Birmingham at the moment, and have previously, and commute 40 odd miles in each day. There is a mainline train from near my house to the centre of Birmingham which takes around 1 hour. I took it when I worked in the centre. Now I work right on the edge of Birmingham, just off the motorway that surrounds it. I can drive there in about 1hr 20min (depending on the appalling traffic and constant roadworks, it should be a 45min trip). From the motorway I have to drive round 5 miles of lethal back roads to get to my office which is less than a half-mile as-the-crow flies from the motorway junction. Even thought it is on an industrial estate the roads suck! I would love to get the train, but I would be left with a hour or so of extra journey time on those disgusting busses, so doubling my commute time. Birmingham had a motorway infrastructure that was amazing for 1955. Now it is a car park at peak times.

> People do like their cars in Birmingham, for religious reasons a lot of young men don't drink. This leads to a lot of them taking a lot of pride in their motors to therefore never take the bus.

I note in some areas there are signs saying that cruising around is banned by order of the high court!

> things like the exhibition centres and other things alluding to Birmingham's status as second city were very much built with the car in mind.

The exhibition centre has a railway line and an airport too. The connection to Birmingham center (New Street, now 'Grand Central') is excellent. But then it is like a spoke and hub distribution model...but with only 2 spokes. If you are not on a rail route you are stuffed, because of those busses!

When our staff are doing stuff at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre)
they stop in the hotel there, despite our offices being only 12 miles away as-the-crow-flies!

> there was one other cyclist at that workplace of sixty

I agree, cycling in Brum is horrible. The lanes are too narrow.

I feel that the report writers are on to something, I sit in the M6 motorway traffic each day and see the miles of people wasting their time with me. This must be a fabulous productivity hit to the region.
uBlock origin blocks some of these and gives you the target link with the option to go directly to it. But it misses a lot of them.

This is a prime example of confirmation bias, you think it's having a positive effect therefore it's having a positive effect. It's a sugar pill.

This nonsense is no better than anti-vax parents that believe because two kids at her children's school were diagnosed with autism and had vaccines that it must mean vaccines cause autism.

So much more has to do with window managers, software choices, etc than simply the number of pixels you have on your display(s). I find that reading long lines of code is more comfortable on my 1920x1200 Dell desktop monitor than on my ThinkPad’s 1366x768, but my productivity has a lot more to do with the WM and Emacs configuration than number of monitors.

Here I am, finding multiple monitors distracting....
I splurge on one monitor with the best display I can get, preferably high res and 16:10 aspect ratio for more vertical space.

I find the simplicity of my setup soothing in a way, and lets me focus on one thing that is dead straight in front of my eyes and not get distracted by peripheral vision.

May be I'm the odd one in this regard.

huge? pretty trivial.. the point of a javabean is you don't need to understand anything. As for annotations, it's not like developers don't need to know a crapton of other annotations as well. It's just the way it is, so a few more aren't a big deal. If you need to debug java beans, you are doing something wrong.

you can also delombok if you ever get tired of it, and now your back to manual.

I personally don't use lombok, as i'm not offended by the verbosity, given that ides since forever have done all the work, but if it's something you are bothered by, well. that.

If an argument is that javabeans are the wrong pattern to use, that's a different argument, and unrelated to lombok.

Maybe check out TokuDB, I haven't tried it myself, but it has things like tokudb_cleaner_iterations [1] and tokudb_cleaner_period.

If you'd like to do away with touchpad gestures for an even faster workflow on osx, try using https://contexts.co for your switcher, and https://www.alfredapp.com for your launcher

contexts gives additional 'switching' options on different hotkeys, window searching+selection, and no mouse interaction required (but it is supported)

I have Contexts setup as follows:

cmd-tab: cycle thru all visible windows of all apps on this desktop

opt-tab: cycle thru all apps on all desktops

cmd-~: cycle thru all windows of focused app on this desktop (include hidden/minimized)

opt-~: cycle all windows of focused app on all desktops (include hidden/minimized)

cmd-space: activate Alfred

opt-space: search/activate of all running apps on all desktops

This workflow allows for complete, keyboard-driven navigation/switching, and total deprecation of the slow 10.7+ mission control gui (you can restore the older & faster exposè style window view with the app TotalSpaces)
> People are usually more ok with predictable risks

This ignores the point of above comments which is to educate people about which energy is safer per kWh generated.

It's not like solar/wind installations are done w/out safety precautions already.

Per kWh generated, nuclear is safer.
Changing an Apple Watch/Android Wearable even once every 3-5 years must be the 7th circle of hell for someone like Dieter Rams.

It's incredible how normal it has become to switch out $500-$1200 products at such a cycle. Wasteful, next to no functional gain (certified electro-cardiography being exempt in my books), supporting narcissism...

It's consumerism to the max. We should all take a step back and think about what we are doing.
I agree that a fine balancing act of forces desires an explanation, but I don't get why one parameter being very different order of magnitude is such an issue.. it's like some silly aesthetic preference that all the numbers/parmeters should be the same size because that would be 'nice'
There's a vast difference in the effect on a country depending on whether its competitive advantage comes from resources or people though.

If it comes from resources then the incentive to develop the people is lost and they're either bought off or ignored. Look at what happens in Russia or Venezuela or Saudi Arabia.
The main reason why I use and love Linux: hackability. MS and Apple just can't produce something comparable 'cause it will hit their closed ecosystem.

I don't think they are mutually exclusive. I had people with cars turning down a job with me because they couldn't face the 7 mile commute on the edge of town, on a motorway, because it could take them more than an hour.

To summarize the 43 comments so far: different people have different preferences, so a one-size-fits-all policy will make lots of people unhappy. Offer people a choice and if possible, allow them to try out several configurations to see what works best for them.
Most addicting games in recent gaming history. The oldest game is Minecraft. Even then, the hyperbole is pushing it somewhat to call them the most addicting.
The whitespace thing annoyed me when I first stared using Python. Then after using Python for a few months I went back and modified some Perl. Moved some blocks of code around and lost a brace somewhere. Spent 20 minutes trying to work out where. Then I realized that it's is a problem that never occurs in Python.
I am a minority opinion here. I don’t like turning my head and I like just having everything I need for a 2 hour sprint visible at once on the screen.

At home I use a MacBook with a 22” retina I bought at the Apple store, the external monitor place directly above the laptop. I rarely do video or photo editing, but I spend a lot of time writing books and also programming. This is plenty of space for me. This is not a matter of money: 6 months after I bought this monitor for my home use, I started working at a large financial services company; I could choose any monitor(s) I wanted and I chose exactly what I have at home.

I don’t multi-task, especially in my home office. I like having just what I need for my current task visible.

I bought a System76 Oryx Pro last fall with a 16” 4K display and I find the screen size so adequate to my development needs (I use that laptop just for machine learning, it has a 1070 GPU) that I don’t even bother hooking it up to an external monitor.

I have spent so many years working on remote servers in a few SSH shell windows. This might affect the setup I chose for all-local development and writing.

> bring the linux desktop to the masses

I am dumbfounded that people still see this happening at some point.
Doesn't Notion try and solve this problem? What do you think Notion could do better to solve this issue?
That's not the case.

The problem here is that the media wants simplistic answers as "healthy or not healthy" but studies don't have such conclusions. What studies find out is "eggs increase X and decrease the probability of Y happening". This is not about science being difficult but an understanding of the outcomes being difficult.

This is also how some people try to discredit science. For example, I was highly irritated by Dilbert's creator's argument on defending Trump's climate policies, he said something about swimming after eating previously deemed hazardous but now declared safe, therefore you can't trust experts.
It sounds backwards, but this is why you should use this feature. It sends a message to browser vendors (via Chrome Status eg https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5109758977638400) that developers want to use those features, which helps the Chrome team (and other vendors) prioritize what to work on.

Build sites to be standards compliant and accessible first, and then progressively enhance them using new browser features to give the user a better experience. It's absolutely the best way to build for the web.
It is easy to write a function, that makes a syscall directly and not via well known paths in the libc or similar. And then the syscall number can be a variable instead of constant and determining that value statically means solving the halting problem. Q.e.d.
What do you find error prone in it? As I just posted above, it solves the problem of loosing braces when moving code blocks around.
Yes, as mentioned, problems vary with the desktop. In this case it's MATE that can't have an on-screen keyboard on the lock screen...even though you can have one on the login screen.

Edit: There is a workaround (switch user button, enable, go back), but there are other desktops with no work around, like Cinnamon.
Beauty is subjective, some people like the style in the linked page, others not. Personally i like the default fonts and colors (at least on Windows, i think on Linux the default font sizes are a bit large) but not everyone does.

Besides this is just fashion, the defaults were chosen because at some point people found them beautiful, but over time they simply fell out of fashion. Nowadays they're there mainly to avoid breaking sites that do not override them.
I think you’re making the UK to sound a lot worse than it is. The crime rate is still relatively low and on par with most Western European countries. And I don’t see how education is poor the UK has some of the best universities in the world, and decent schools. In fact the number of people with degrees has been slowly rising.

The UK is a great place to live and work, don’t let this comment tell you otherwise. Everyone on the internet seems to catrophise things

Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures....
Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. […] The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time.

I’ve thought about this. Why don’t they integrate better cooling? Maybe something that hooks into the charging cable as well. While the battery is charged the pack is cooled by the facility.

(One crazier idea of mine involves cooling by boiling off sea water. Have piping built to pump large amounts of sea water inland to charging locations. Perhaps each charging location also sits next to a pumping location for the sea water.)
They released a new version of the firmware today to fix this.
Those are kind of sucky examples of advertising, really.

Better ones (in the sense of advertisers thinking they work better and being willing to pay more for them; not in terms of them being “better” ethically) would include YouTube pre-roll ads, product placement in movies and TV, and billboards on boring stretches of road (as observed by the passengers in a car, not the driver.)
The problem is that I haven’t seen safety studies, and the null hypothesis is that a technology is mildly unsafe: most of the neat science technologies have been.

The reasoning of “its not ionizing radiation so it can’t possibly impact biological systems at continuous low, structured doses!” wouldn’t pass in an advanced high school class — so it’s deeply concerning that’s what underlies the safety of a widespread technology.

Russia is a state that has occupied at 7/8 European countries in the last century.

Judaism is a somewhat vaguely defined cultural/religious grouping.

In European history the last large scale attempt to blur the distinction between race and state ended with attempted genocide. It's somewhat distasteful to continue repeating that mistake.
In my opinion a lot. I got my first job in 2003 programming Perl 5 and the way it was talked about, it sounded like Perl 6 was just a year or two away.
It depends on what you do!

I tend to use 1 monitor most of the time, but when I am remoting onto a machine, or running terminal sessions, I tend to switch on another monitor and put the remote session on that, this gives you a nice mental separation. I have seen people wasting plenty of time moving stuff to another screen when a simple alt+tab is faster!
What is the point of a 4-way diff? I never used a rebase workflow and I always merge. When merging you compare the common ancestor with the two different branches, and it’s the perfect use case for a three monitors setup with the three-way diff. From what I understand rebasing is pretty much the same but it rewrites history to have a single branch. Why you would need a 4-way diff in a rebase instead of a 3-way diff?
The OP demo looks better only because the css adds a linebreak after the widgets. But I actually prefer the cleaner look of the default style. A matter of being used to it, probably.
I agree with most everything you say, but it's worth noting that the problems you mention leading to "poor productivity" are pretty much "all of politics". I think this is what you are getting at - its not one thing, but it's how we arrange everything- from funding justice systems to effective road transport and ensuring all citizens feel heard and engaged.

People who rent or live in cheap property just move and other people come in. Property values change gentrification happens but that's usual for a big city.

> Good call on the diagonal measurements but it's not a big difference in the end.

This makes a huge difference. 2x24" will give you half the total surface area of 1x48". For example, if you have 2x24" side-by-side, you could put another copy of that pair above the original pair (to get a 4x24" grid), and that would be equivalent to having a single 48" monitor.

If you cut your current X inch monitor into 4 quadrants, each quadrant is diagonally X/2 inches. So having two of those would be like having just the bottom half of your current monitor.
If you can't reproduce something through randomized control trials, then you should at the very least be very skeptical about it and not pass legislation purely based on people's views.
I don’t see a huge difference. Social marginalisation is indeed huge here in Britain.
