The standard position for graphics card has been horizontal, for many, many years. I don't think the standard position for a cigarrete lighter is upside down, to begin with. Next, …

Too opinionated advice on an even worse medium. Please do yourself and the rest of us a favor and open a blog. Reading an article about watercolor basics which is basically a wall …

Good luck reading an article with lines that span the entire 2560px of the width of my screen.

I've used Graphviz for many years and my main gripe with it is the lack of customization. Yes, there's "some" customization, but there's a point (not too far from the initial style…

I considered OBS a really nice piece of software, specially after a 10-year long track record of testing desktop capture software like Camtasia and the like. After fighting myself …

> Unfortunately some are also moving to entirely closed source platforms like Discord From an openness point of view, yes, that's unfortunate. But discord channels are arguably way…

I hope they have (or have plans to) updated the docs for their plugin API. I've made some bucks building plugins for ST3 and the docs are... scarce. It's a shame, because I prefer …

Totally. Not sure about the US, but at least in Spain that kind of benefits (private health insurance, restaurant tickets, etc) tend to be a lot cheaper for the employer often just…

+1, thank god we've finally come to acknowledge and accept that Gimp has never been and will never be a professional alternative to Gimp for many users.

Would you mind commenting on your current salary range and location? I've decided I want to stick to C++/Python on Linux for my tech stack, as I've grown to hate the current state …

Sure, the cost of living is way lower, but given the ability of working remotely for companies abroad, there shouldn't be such a large gap. I think (and hope) it's a matter of time…

I can kind of relate to the author. Here in Spain, programming salaries are way _way_ further from those in the UK, let alone the US. The average wage for a senior developer is aro…

I was (and still am) in the same situation as the author two years ago. I bought a pair of JBL LSR 305 that I placed at each side of the screen, roughly 120cm away from each other …

The case here is that, if it were up to nowadays frontend developers, it would not be possible to write simple JavaScript code in notepad to quickly run in the browser. The fronten…

Wow it's been many years since I last heard about AverMedia. I used to have an AverMedia AverTV capture card back in WinXP times, and it worked really well with composite video inp…

I've always had that impression. I've been using Qt for 10+ years (professionally for half that) and I've always used QtWidgets. QML always seemed flimsy to me, and all those futur…

Question should be "even with C++17?". Cmake has had moc and uic support for years now. The question is why they don't leverage the c++17 features to get rid of moc, ffs.

Comparing the creativity of youngsters doing voice-overs in TikTok to that of early 2000's teenagers creating full-fledged games and entire films with Flash is... I don't know. As …

I think you could probably achieve that with v4l2loopback and ffmpeg. I've done something similar in the past and it works.

Yep. In order to use non-standard fonts in Flash I recall you had to embed the fonts, even if the movie clip containing the textfield was not being used anywhere.

Rather than more effective, I'd wish 3D printing were faster. My main grip with 3D printing stuff is the time it takes - and, depending on the printer, the noise it makes.

Damn, your lack of tact is seriously depressing.

I wonder how many more times this link will get posted here.
