I went on this quest recently. I wanted a small display to tuck _under_ my main widescreen monitor, so that I could have chat apps & video streaming in my periphery.

The category I ended up targeting is portable monitors aimed at the business laptop market. These are slim, have a kickstand for support, and can receive data & power over a single usb-c. Not sure about product marketing restrictions on HN so I won't say the brand. But it's a 14" portable monitor from a long-running business laptop brand.

If you want this for a non-laptop scenario, my advice would be to pay very close attention to the types & versions of connectors on the devices you're trying to connect. My gaming desktop didn't have the exact right usb-c port. That sent me into the world of 'weird' cables and lots of debugging to finally get it set up the way I want.

There's a reprint of this available for the last few years now, I end up rereading my physical copy about once a year or so since getting it.

Always find some fun new thing to research on rereading.
Spot on. Self checkout shines when it’s for 2-3 items. I wouldn’t pass a huge haul of groceries through it. The more things you buy with self checkout the greater chance of some weird bug like missing barcode, not knowing where to select esoteric non-scan items etc
Not the LG but I've ran a 1:1 EIZO for years which is very close... Just gonna talk on how I've grown to love the 1:1 aspect ratio.

1:1... it's not for everyone, but it is for me for the following purposes:

* Best LOC on-screen possible - balanced horizontal/vertical space in my IDE means I can fit WAY more readable code on screen vs. my horizontal monitors

* Vertical aspect ratio media - editing a vertical photo is outstanding (color profiles on this monitor are meh but not a huge deal for me)

* 4-corner tiling - I find I only tile to the left/right or top/bottom on normal horizontal/vertical monitors... on this one I can fit 4x windows in reasonable aspect ratios in the corners

* Full-height web browsing/document reading - not exclusive to 1:1; viewing a whole "page" of data is much more natural vs horizontal aspect ratios

---

Downsides:

* Gaming - Some games can be configured to work with it. Outside of Factorio I really don't use it _at all_ for gaming. I have 2x 16:9 1440p's on each side that I typically game on.

* Price/obscurity - This EIZO was way too expensive... the LG is way better but I'm afraid in 1-2 years you won't be able to find them at a reasonable price.

---

TLDR: I'm legit considering picking one of these LG's up for when my EIZO dies - I am so happy there's another option.
I don't mind them, but sometimes you get random things the self checkout will not let you buy. Like anti-perspirant, had to stop and go over to a regular line for that.
I must be running on slower code, as I can't quite unpack that. So the code in life is the DNA which is also the 'runtime'?
I would agree that the first two Es are happening. I'm just not sure how they would accomplish the Extinguish step from there.

Microsoft's strategy as I interpret it is to embrace Linux as the server OS most will choose, but to stay relevant double down on providing the development and deployment experience. .NET Core makes their flagship backend framework available on Linux, and WSL makes that case easy to test from the comfort of your Windows computer, using Visual Studio. The same Visual Studio that just so happens to integrate well with MSSQL and Azure.

If you aren't an enterprise, there is Visual Studio Code for the languages you like, with even bigger emphasis on making Linux development a smooth experience on a Windows computer, along with extensive Azure integrations if you want them.
I do actually have a Dell 4:3 monitor with me but unfortunately the resolution as well as the physical dimensions are nothing to write home about. I can make do with "smaller" (<~24") monitors fine as long as the resolution is good enough, but as you mentioned most old monitors aren't even 1080p. (Additionally with my shortsightedness I can/end up pixel-peep on 400ppi+ displays)

I guess a decent solution in my case would be to actually get a proper job (I'm still studying) and save up for a decent display, until which I'll just do some window shopping heh ;)
That's so interesting. I wouldn't consider writing stories and writing code to be similar... clearly you have a knack for communicating though, if you're good at sales.

I like writing code, but stories/selling is definitely not my thing. I wonder what it is that makes this resonate:

They paper says the English sample is from the United States of America, U.K. publications are presumably excluded.
This is quite typical of the kinds of things you need to “dip into the CLI” for Linux that people complain about.

Things that other OS’es usually don’t even allow.

Edit: Another issue with Linux configs is that since nearly every setting can be changed through the CLI, and it’s usually a single liner at that, most online resources tend to provide the single liner that one can use to copy/paste into the CLI to achieve what they want, because the alternative is providing like 10 screenshots for 15 steps for someone to try and painstakingly replicate with their mouse or trackpad.

The most common example of this is that pretty much every application will give its installation instructions as:

sudo apt install thunderbird (On gnome).

When you can just as well go to the software center, search thunderbird, and hit install. Or go to thunderbird.com, download the package and double click/install.

However, the CLI method is clearly far superior and easier, yet it leads to complaints about having to “dip into the CLI”.
Well and more important: all the rules that kick in when someone is born should kick in at day one of the personhood. Tax breaks, social support, etc.

But it is not about personhood, it is not about murder — this is about sex and giving the state the power to enforce prude religious ideas. Which is why there are open discussions about banning contraception as well.

The idea: Sex should only be had for the purpose of generating offspring. It should never be enjoyed. This is the believe, and anyone has to follow it, so it needs to become law.

Yeah. It is extremely frustrating when a whole community of people keep telling you "you are dumb for telling us you need this feature" and then you later watch that community celebrate the addition of that feature when the narrative changes and they finally realize what the feature was actually for. (FWIW: I don't care enough about Go to know the status / history of this feature; I am just commenting on this discussion.)

One ridiculous example I remember (and which tends to surprise people who have a more limited context of the past): MySQL seriously used to have a page of their documentation dedicated to why views were a bad idea and there was a good reason why their database hadn't implemented them. Of course, they eventually realized why people wanted them, so they are both now implemented and the page telling you why you shouldn't use them is gone.

There’s not a well established link between gluten intolerance and glyphosate, but:

> Fish exposed to glyphosate develop digestive problems that are reminiscent of celiac disease. Celiac disease is associated with imbalances in gut bacteria that can be fully explained by the known effects of glyphosate on gut bacteria

This isn’t made up woo. It’s a real potential link that needs to be fully explored not dismissed.
This is surprisingly reasonably priced.
I'm interested in how this library handles recursion, e.g.

It's very easy to get stuck into infinite loops when handling recursion in parser-combinator libraries.

Does this library improve on that?

The monitor issue only happens the first time you plug in the monitor (like with every laptop or computer I’ve ever owned, even the Lemur Pro). After you setup your monitors, it remembers the setup every time you connect after.

Yeah agreed with a corded USB mouse, I just have mine plugged into my monitor, one usb c cable to my laptop for video, power, and data. Lemur Pro did this just as good as my Mac, no complaints there.

Home and end I’m pretty sure is just CMD + left arrow, and CMD + right arrow.

Totally agree, safari is a crap shoot. I used Firefox on my Lemur and on my Mac.

I actually ended up remapping my Lemur Pro so that the modifier keys matched the placement of a Mac. I like my main modifier (ctrl on Linux/win, cmd on Mac) to be the key just next to the space bar.

I liked the Lemur Pro a lot. Just trying to give some constructive feedback.
I would love to read more about the above claims.

Can you please point me in the direction of some foundational books?

It's definitely smaller than I was expecting. 18.2" x 19"

My 27" display is almost 25" wide.
I think it's pretty evident from this photo that it does not: https://www.lg.com/us/images/features/mnt-dualup-ergo-28mq78...

It should also be obvious given that it is not 2 monitors but a single 16:18 monitor...
I'm looking forward to the lawsuits challenging this. I'm not 100% sure how they'll turn out, but it'll be nice to have big corporations spending their money on protecting something I agree should be protected, for a change.

I don't think I said there wasn't a difference. There are always differences.

But I do stand by my point that you can't put much stock in Musk's claims. Which, now that people are becoming more aware of it, makes him less and less likely to deliver anything major again.

As an example, take a look at his failed purchase of Twitter. He wasted a ton of his time and caused a lot of damage to Twitter, its employees, and his own reputation. You can bet that any future business partners, even the ones willing to ignore his behavior on Twitter, are going to take it as a cautionary tale.

If what you value is vertical space/resolution why not run a 4K monitor vertically? You can either use the full resolution or crop at whatever vertical space you prefer.
Indeed, I think 3 monitors might be my next gamble. I switched from dual 27" (one always portrait and the other sometimes portrait, sometimes landscape), to a 42.5 (!) 4k monitor, and then downgraded to 32". The 42" monitor was a little ridiculous, like I literally started clustering my windows in the middle and ignoring the edges. 32 is better. The only direction I can imagine going would be to add 24" flanking portrait monitors to my 32.
It didn't work a couple of years ago, at least in Linux, with the open source driver. I don't know what the situation is nowadays.
Sure. I'll take my technical hat off and put 'the average office user' hat on:
I login to my Ubuntu account and head to Ubuntu appstore. It's a galore of half baked and a few well developed gems amongst them.
"Apt-get install libreoffice" is great for us geeks but if I'd go to my office colleagues and tell them to run some commands in the shell, they'd think I'm mad.

I have no doubts that both Gimp and Open office are close to feature parity, but the UX is just not there. The user interface has to be super slick everywhere because an average user is very spoilt.

One hope I have is that Windows have been going down the drain usability wise, so hopefully they'll screw up things even worse in Windows 11/12 etc, so the competition could pick up on it.

I work at a desk, lean my chair back, and use a footrest. Here's the one I'm using now: https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07PWT8X6K/ My desk has a keyboard tray so I can keep my chair low, and I'd want something taller if I had to raise my chair.

For me, this totally eliminates back strain from working. I've also got a friend who uses a La-Z-Boy in his home office, with his laptop connected to the TV. He can't say enough good things about that setup.

Why would you be installing NVidia drivers in a machine that has come with Linux preloaded and graphics drivers already installed?

Oh, you’re doing an Apple to Oranges comparison between Linux manually installed on a machine vs Mac or Windows coming preloaded on the machine?

Because if you did an apples to apples comparison, any decent computer with Linux preinstalled will come with all the drivers installed as well. And when it comes to manually installing, installing drivers for Windows can also be a pain, and don’t even get started on trying to install Mac on a machine it didn’t come preinstalled on. Hackintoshes are hard to make work even for experts.
I love them. Especially at Target where you can use the scanner gun and rapidly pew-pew everything much faster than the big scanner.
It's very easy to argue against that logic. The entire point of having a separate HOV lane that moves faster than the other lanes to to incentivize people to share cars who otherwise would not do so. Since it is impossible for a mother and fetus to choose travel in separate cars, considering the fetus as a separate person when defining HOV lanes does not serve this purpose.

I see nothing remotely hypocritical about drafting traffic laws in this way, while simultaneously considering a fetus to have human rights and treating them as a "person" in other medical and legal contexts. Frankly, I think this would be gob-smackingly obvious to everyone involved, if it weren't tied up in a hot culture-war topic.

(Sadly, I feel the need to emphasize that, while I'm personally pro-choice, I'm making no argument here in favor of or against being pro-life or pro-choice. Just that this particular line of argument is really dumb and pointless.)
Hard to find problems with a system that doesn't exist, so perhaps some "systems" are perfect.
More flexibility when splitting stuff? With 2 screens, I often found I wanted a main thing in the middle and a small window on each side, but that's really ackward if you have a bezzle. Then again, that makes more sense for an ultra-wide than an ultra-high monitor in my opinion.

This is not true. BNPLs perform underwriting just like any other lender.
It is two monitors, you can plug 2 devices at the same time.
Ask HN: Is VSCode becoming too complex after each update?
I exclusively use VSC. Its greatest appeal to me a few years ago was its simplicity. If there were shortcomings, usually I'd find a workaround (e.g., an extension) and things were mostly fine. But I feel like with each update, I'm introduced to a whole bunch of features that overall make VSC more complex. I want to get the job done, but nowadays I must constantly keep track of recent changes in VSC.

Do you feel the same? What's the solution/alternative to this complexity?

I am wondering about the implications if an organization (charitable or otherwise) located in a state that allows abortions provides travel expenses to someone coming from Texas (or other states banning abortion) into a state that allows abortions? What if an organization provides relocation assistance (including travel, moving expenses, help with job hunting, etc) to someone relocating to a state that allows abortions? Can Texas charge someone who did not have an abortion in Texas, or someone who has stopped being a resident of Texas?

Don’t agree, he made a claim on the intent of my words that does not exist. I’m not required to accept it just because you don’t like defining terms.

Additionally did you ignore the links I provided with evidence?
That was my best interpretation of your point. If you'd like to clarify it, I'm still here.
The dose makes the poison. It’s possible for a chemical to be perfectly safe if ingested in low quantities but dangerous in extremely high quantities. The duration of exposure for the same dose matters a lot too. Drinking glyphosate could be a much larger acute exposure so it’s perfectly reasonable to say it’s safe as normally used but not want to drink it. For example, you need trace amounts of copper to live, but very large doses can damage the liver. You’d need to take actual measurements to determine at what dose glyphosate becomes dangerous, and compare that to actual use. The whole “I could drink it” thing is just bullshitting, but so is the reverse.

Unicode operators can make it difficult if you can't (or don't know how) to type certain characters.

https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode_ascii just kind of rubs me as the wrong way to go.

While I realize '…' and '...' are syntactically equivalent, it means that if someone is writing $foo³ and I need to change that to $foo² - I can't do that without changing it to $foo**2 ... and that results in two different styles of code (unicode and ascii) in the same file which means that future maintainer me has more difficulty.

(note: I still don't know how to type ³ - that's me copying out of another file)

> selecting multiple occurrences of a word, and then editing in place

I'm sure there is a way to do this More Properly, but the kind of thing I'd do is:

:%s/user/account/g

:%s/User/Account/g

If you wanted to check each one interactively, end with gc instead of g.

Vim is the reason I'm real confident with regexes, even nonsense with grouping and quantifiers etc. etc., and while I can see people not wanting to have to acquire that power, I must say it's also very handy outside of text editing.

> selecting all the above occurrences, and pasting them somewhere for an interface declaration.

I don't really understand the behavior desired here, but I'll bet there's something similar.
> The other side that people seem to be missing here is that it explicitly establishes a boundary past which it's perfectly fine to film the police.

That boundary is likely to be chipped into further and then upheld by the current SCOTUS.

The repeal of Roe v. Wade shows that we can't really trust the the slippery slope is a fallacy these days.
The bot thing is obviously a pretext but I wouldn't be surprised if all the major social networks lie about what proportion of their active users are synthetic. In my experience, running ads on both Twitter and Facebook tends to drive an absurdly large amount of suspicious traffic if you don't very tightly target them. 5% seems unbelivably low just based on that experience and the experience of using Twitter in general.
No, CTA cannot do that. If they did, CTA would have to take a bunch of expensive steps to make their stuff complaint with FRA regs.

And no, the local freight railroads aren't "choosing" to let Metra be. They pretty much have to. That was part of the agreement when the regulators allowed the railroads to drop passenger services (which they were previously legally obliged to keep). There's a process, which hasn't been put into practice for a while but is still on the books, for Amtrak to demand the right to use certain tracks (the exact scenario where this happens escapes me).

As usual, the Russiaphilic argument is dependent on treating Eastern Europe as a bunch of client states of the USA dutifully doing the bidding of somebody in the CIA. It is dramatically undercut by them relentlessly demanding more troops and weapons (and offering to pay for them) and the USA not giving them what they want.

Russia thinks 30,000 American soldiers is a lot? Eastern Europe wants (and has wanted for a long time) far more. [0]
