Yeah a good portion of the population is PWM sensitive and OLED displays hurt their eyes. Macs are a bit better with the like 10khz modulation, but after a few days they still make my eyes feel like they're burning :/

The best is when it's just two devs blindly sharing output from Claude back and forth during a major outage instead of USING THEIR BRAINS

I love my touchscreen thinkpad. For some things it's faster than the mouse. Scrolling is also nicer.

Will be fun to see how bad the PWM is on this display.

Haven't been able to use any newer macs :/

What do you mean wrong allocator? What if you want to use a different one (will it work?)
Comment · 3 days ago
That's because in Zig that would be seen as a surprise side effect - the allocator is expected when the action is performed, not when it's "prepared", this way you know append() allocates. Otherwise it wouldn't be explicit which Array methods allocated.

The Odin way is useful, too. Depends on what you're building.

This! I was using this in like middle school in 2006 or so to run my sites. Cool to see it still works.

even my ten year old laptop browses the web fine ^_^

If I had to complain about any site/app it'd be datadog... each tab uses like 1gb in firefox.

I have to admit, I don't recall this issue in any of Google's products. So they at least do that right.

That's the perfect amount of layout shifts.
