Interesting, I'm on 3x27" 2K monitor (same setup as you, portrait, landscape, portrait) and while it works very well for me, I'd like to replace it with just 1 screen (or 3x 4-5K monitors but that is less interesting to me). I already have custom window management software that I use so it wouldn't be hard to switch to sub-dividing 1 monitor to get a similar experience (I think).
Maybe I should look into the 40" 5K monitors, thanks!
Losing the bezel is great, and the Dell 4025qw that I have has also an IPS Black panel which is a vast improvement over what I had before - Dell U27-something (4K IPS), 3219Q (4K IPS). And it's 120hz. I really enjoy it.
By having fewer pixels, lower quality screens? Crazy what you can do when you cut corners.
This screen reminds of when I did tech support in high school and I helped a guy who bragged about his computer monitor, it was a TV running at 720p (if not lower) and a massive screen. The windows start bar was hilariously large (as were all UI elements), I had to just smile and nod until I got out of there.
Sure, your screen may be bigger but it's blurry and everything is scaled way too large.
The HiDPI/Retina bullshit is just bullshit. I've been running a 4K 43" 4:3 display at 100% scaling since 2018. It is neither blurry nor scaled too large. It can, however, comfortably fit 10 A4 pages simultaneously. Or 4 terminals + a browser + a PDF reader.
My arithmetic nodule is having a konniption fit. Does not compute. If this is 16:9 and you mistook your aspect ratio I can breathe again. √2:1 says 1.41:1 isn't 1.33:1
10 A4 pages do not fill a 4:3 or 3:4 aspect ratio box. They don't fill a 16:9 box either but it's more plausible, the wastage is different.
I am currently looking for a way to take a legacy application that uses the filesystem as it's database and needs to support locking (flock) on FreeBSD and scale it horizontally (right now we only scale vertically and rebuilding from a corrupted FS and/or re-pulling our, backup, data from S3 takes too long if we lose a machine). We investigated NFS but the FreeBSD NFS performance was 1/10th or worse than on Linux and switching to Linux is not in the cards for us right now.
Does Object Mount support file locks (flock specifically) and FreeBSD? I see some mention of FreeBSD but I can't find anything on locking.
For context, we are working with a large number of small (<10KB if not <4KB) files normally.
> The magic is: JuiceFS also supports using PostgreSQL as both metadata and object data storage backend! This means you only need to change JuiceFS’s backend to an existing PostgreSQL instance to get a database-based “filesystem.”
Sounds ideal for your kind of situation where a filesystem is being abused as a database :-)
In college I took a database class, it was pretty basic overall as I had been playing with MySQL for a few years at that point. On the final exam I got a 90/100. The test was 10 questions that just had you write SQL to answer the question. I got all the queries 100% correct... except... I didn't put a ";" after each query. On a written test. I'm still a little bitter about that.
I had a course on natural language processing with Prolog, and the first third of the exam was just evaluating Prolog expressions and figuring out what syntax errors had been made. This of course took so long that everyone spent at least two thirds of the time on that one portion...
It was a weird course, though. Because we spent so long learning Prolog, the second half of the course was really rushed - lots of learning about English grammar and syntax trees, and how you could model them in different ways, and then the last lecture was just "oh, by the way, here are all the ways this doesn't work and is a complete dead end - your exam is on the 14th".
IIRC there was a part two to the course, but I think it clashed with something I was more interested in so I never took it. It was cool to learn Prolog, but I wish it had been a whole course on just Prolog and actual present-day use-cases, as opposed to this weird half-and-half course about an approach to NLP that even back then wasn't being pursued with much enthusiasm.
So Nori is a wrapper around cli agents? Did I get that right?
That’s interesting since it works around the issues OpenCode ran into and lets you use your subscription, but I’m not clear on the downsides. What do you lose with this approach verses using Claude Code directly?
you got it right The main limitation versus Claude Code itself is just the exact feature parity. There are a lot of features at this point packed into CC, that it will take a little bit of time to get to exact feature parity. For example session resumes will be pretty easy to add, but session rewind and branching is a bigger ask
To be fair, Apple is known for having bad docs (for at least the past 5-10 years) that often don’t have examples or sample code, I think that’s more of an outlier.
I don’t regularly develop in swift, but when I have, I’ve been confused by the docs because they are so clearly auto generated (not LLM, just from the code) and sparse. Listing out constants is next to useless when they are confusingly named and have no description of what they mean or how the affect things.
That's correct and it's linux-only (as of the last time I looked), you can run it on macOS but you can't run macOS runners (which is where I need the most help debugging normally, for building iOS apps).
This is for the older classic Pixelmator, they now have Pixelmator Pro on the iPad which can be bought for a 1-time charge or on subscription. This is a nothingburger, AFAICT Pixelmator Classic (for mac or iPad) already wasn't receiving updates.
