   > They're not just small luxuries, but actually better-performant and more practical than the popular alternatives in almost every way.

   Most of us who use fountain pen feel this way too.

   I literally just an hour ago tried picking up a gel pen for writing and 3 minutes later it went back into storage. It's Uniball One so it's not a bad gel pen either.

   I think it is a reasonable assumption that developers in developing countries earn much more than the per capita GDP.

   (I say this as someone from a Newly Industrialized Country and I easily afford the all product pack)

   They also offer a personal license, which I would say should be affordable to any devs if they were getting money. Rider is $149/year for the first year, $119 for second, and $89/year for the third year onward.

   Almost (or maybe even all) of what WebStorm does, you can do it in Rider or RustRover (which is also free). So it make no sense to not also make WebStorm free.

   You called it "markdown noise". I called it "easy to see if I actually bolded the whole word or I forgot to bold the last character" or "easy to see if I also underlined the space after the word".

   I used logseq for about a year and I so hate the block-based editor (the same reason I stopped using Notion). I went back to using flat-file for a while until I find Zettlr.

   Japan railway companies in Kanto region are moving to QR code for individual ticket in 2027.

   The bulk of the ticket will still be the Felica card though, because as far as I know neither the QR code or EMV open-loop system can handle required throughput of 60 persons/minute/gate.

   That's called uOP cache, which Intel has been using since Sandy Bridge (and AMD but I don't remember on top of my head since when). But that's more transistors for the cache and its control mechanism.

    Decoding 1 x86 instruction per cycle is easy. That's solved like 40 years ago.

    The problem is that superscalar CPU needs to decode multiple x86 instructions per cycle. I think latest Intel big core pipeline can do (IIRC) 6 instructions per cycle, so to keep the pipeline full the decode MUST be able to decode 6 per cycle too.

    If it's ARM, it's easy to do multiple decode. M1 do (IIRC) 8 per cycle easily, because the instruction length is fixed. So the first decoder starts at PC, the second starts at PC+4, etc. But x86 instructions are variable length, so after the first decoder decodes instruction at IP, where does the second decoder start decoding at?

    Personally while there are some task that's easier with multiple cursors, I have personally yet to find any use case where regexp replace in selections doesn't work as well.

    Agree. I recognized the Rust language when I saw the actual code but would be nice to know just from the title.

    Can't see how that would go well if two devices have the same serial number.

    I love 1080p panel on 13-14" laptop and plan to choose do so if given choice. Until 2160p panel become common at least, so I don't have to rely on non-integer scaling.

    If it isn't just a b c d e but longer variable name or function call, then I imagine it wouldn't be as clear.

    BitBucket was Mercurial-only for quite some times before they added Git (when it was obvious that Git was winning).

    I think Google Code provide both from the early day (along with Subversion), and maybe also SourceForge.

    I am not sure how that would work. "Artificial Intelligence a Modern Approach" 1st Edition is no longer available. Should it be allowed to be freely shared when 4th edition is still on sale? The changes aren't that minor, either.

    All those font families have regular Latin characters. It just default to show those languages. If you open the sidebar and type some text in the "Type something" box then it will show you those font families with the text you type.

    One thing I absolutely love about PHP is the mod_intl which is almost always enabled everywhere. It provides ICU Transliterator and BreakIterator which is godsand to handle user-create content that's in Asian, Complex Script, etc.

    Last I check a few year ago Java is the only other platform with as good ICU integration, and nodejs has BreakIterator but not Transliterator. Other platform require complex setup to install ICU as a third party library.

    I believe the selector for 'Latin' meant 'Families that include basic Latin glyph'. Which is pretty much all families.

    There are Kaphrao boom in Bangkok for last 10 years or so. Previously it was cheap, fast food dish that is common in central Thailand, but it has since been researched, experimented, and elevated. If you wife aren't from central Thailand and hasn't really been back for the past 10 years she probably doesn't really connect with it.

    That article didn't touch on what happened before JGR/JNR. Prior to railway nationalization around 1906-1910, most lines beyond Tokyo-Osaka were built and owned by private companies. This includes Sanyo Main Line (previously built and owned by Sanyo Railway, not to be confused with today Sanyo Electric Railway), and Tohoku Main Line (previously built and owned by Nippon Railway).

    I don't know. English fonts are used pretty much everywhere in the world. Luxottica, however, doesn't hold virtual monopoly in many regions.
