  • Type is more important? So if the first argument of a function is minAge, which is an int, the important part is that it is an int? Just feed it any int?

    No, the important part is the meaning, what the variable actually is, if you use a compiled language the compiler will handle types for you anyway. You’ll get a error if you feed it a string, or an water heater object, no surprises.

    Leave the machine work to the machine (compiler in this case), and concentrate on the real work, which is the meaning here.

    Turning on and off increases wear in cars not designed for it. The cars that have the feature have beefy starters, it is a non-issue. And it does save a bit of gas and emissions at red lights, and stopped in traffic, and especially for assholes that leave the car on while their partner goes for a “quick” grocery run.


  • It means that the display I stream doesn’t show on a physical stream. When the stream start, it can automatically be set to the resolution and framerate of the client.

    This is especially useful when the client has a resolution and/or refresh rate not supported by a connected physical screen. For example, I always used to have vertical black bars on my phone because it is so wide, and horizontal ones on my Surface because it is so square, but not anymore.

    It also means I coult setup multi-seat stuff and keep using my pc while someone else is streaming.














  • Oh multi-window works, it is mostly just that applications cannot geometrically position them themselves. There are other small issues, but thay is the main one I hear. It is a non-issue for things like settings and Transmission, since you just open another window and do not really care exactly where it os relative to the other ones. It often ends up being on top. For multi-window Gimp it is worse, as it is toolbars and modules, and the app wants to place them precisely relative to one another. This is currently not working in Wayland, but they create new extensions all the time so it is only a matter of time IMO.
