It's good the core language now has to have a reason before it deletes shit. Speaking of, when do they add full garbage collection and call it c+++?

Torture? My genitals and not in a fun way.

I was thinking between 7600 XT and 7700 XT or 4060 and 4060 TI.

GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you’re building a pc.

There's not many models that expensive. A comparable GPU to the PS5 Pro's is around half the cost

I don't see the humor. Maybe the punchline takes a slong time

Something being "old" is totally unrelated to whether it's trendy. See: virtually every food and fashion trend.

I like yml. Clean to read, easy to use, supports comments.

Why are the alternatives all so defecatory...

Does your Duolingo app icon look sick? You're not alone in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 14 points 4 weeks ago

I noticed that icon in the play store the other day. I assumed it was a scam/copycat app trying to be distinct enough to avoid a takedown or something.

Great, now my apps can get AI anti-features and breaking bugs even faster

This is the first I've even heard of "Concord"

What's the reason for high refresh rates? (lemmy.keychat.org)

I was reading an article on the new LG display with a refresh rate of 7680Hz and it says:

While a typical refresh rate for a monitor might be 60Hz-240Hz, an outdoor display designed to be viewed from a distance needs to be much higher

The idea that there's an intrinsic link between refresh rate and viewing distance is new to me and feels unintuitive. I can understand the need for high brighteness for far view distance. I also could understand refresh rate mattering for a non-persistent (CRT) display. But for an Led display surely you can see it far away even if it refreshes once a second?

Refresh rate normally needs to be high enough to avoid pixels "jumping" between refreshes on high resolution displays, so wouldn't higher view distances allow you to decrease the refresh rate?

Is the article just spouting bullshit? Or is there an actual link between refresh rate and view distance?
