non-AMOLED devices spreading misinfo by enabling dark mode by default on low battery and it's consequences...

Low battery mode on.......computers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah. Some folk use portable computers on top of their laps. It's weird :/

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don't know how he did it.

Albino? There was an albino in my IT and the poor dude would literally be like 4 inches from the screen at all times. I guess that must be pretty close to his experience, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I worked with an albino like that who used a handheld magnifying glass. It actually inspired me to write a magnifier application for windows (which didn’t have one at the time, this was in 2006). That then led me to write little windows apps every day for a month, which got a lot of attention.

Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.

That feels like that scene in Amadeus, when Mozart dictates his music to Salieri.

Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Agreed; or their mind and style style.

Auto formatting is often too rigid for me and gets in the way of context driving the style.

Oh hey, it's modern ed!

From what i've heard of the game industry, being a gamedev is already survival horror.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I had a friend doing mobile gamedev, making near unheard-of money for their then city of residence, had everything going well for them... except the job was soul-crushing and draining, eventually giving them severe depression.

When I was getting my first dev job, they said I'd be really sorry about doing outsource, and I just thought that out of us two, I'd be the really happy one, even making much less than them.
