Native English speaker here, I still browse HN at 150% zoom because I use displays with a high DPI (Macbook pro retina 15" and the Dell U25 and U27 series screens).

It's just more comfortable that way.

I know you don't disagree with the patch being rejected, but I have to say that the reviewer gave you a firm example in which your patch changes expected behavior.

Philosophy aside, that is a fine reason to reject the patch unless you can convince the reviewer (and the committee) that you are in the right (you very well may be).

Little does he know its 100 bucks and a hotdog.
Only thing that'd really affect me is google maps but I can make do with apple maps or using the web ui
Re:How to architect a Qt/C++ Application on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @04:36AM (#18854435)
Have you found any good tutorials or even documentation for using rust-qt?

The bindgen that seems to show up on google search is very un-intuitive to use (or maybe that's because I'm a rust newbie)

Youtube has a better distribution network which has better peering.
What about reflections?
$99 for this?

When there's git cli, magit, fugitive (which you should be using if you're really really in need of a GUI (and which is also better than whatever the demo is showing))?

I'm all for paying for your tooling if you can afford it but overcharging much?

Re:Linus Torvalds apologizes for his behavior, takes time off on Monday September 17, 2018 @04:23AM (#18004077)
I don't have the time to find the comment now, but being the largest philanthropic donor does NOT infact make up for being an asshole or the amount of damage microsoft has done to the computing industry.

Am I downplaying his donations? Not at all. It's just that doing a good thing does not cancel out the bad.

Re:The Subway Doesn't Have to Be Hot and Gross on Saturday September 08, 2018 @01:25AM (#17939556)
Anyone who has taken the subway (MRT) in Singapore knows that stations definitely don't need to hot and gross. It maybe different because we don't need full HVAC but rather only air conditioning, but taking public transport has only ever been pleasant (except when it breaks down).

Maybe some principles can be applied to other subway systems?

You can build your own router with inexpensive hardware and run pfsense on it. You can find many guides for that online.

Otherwise, get an edgerouter.
