Agreed, I think it’s the main thing. My parents at the very least were firm believers in using computers from an early age, so as far back as I could remember I had my own PowerMac G3. With the rad blue monitor and round mouse.

Technology@lemmy.world•Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?English
7·24 days agoEven 4K is noticeable for monitors (but probably not much beyond that), but this is referring to TVs that you’re watching from across the couch.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•There was no need to ever improve upon THISEnglish
1·24 days agoAbsolutely. It’s easy to say that new technology ruins things, but all of this was new tech once. You could have just invented the potentiometer and made a control panel with nothing but them and it would be just as awful. It’s all about integrating the technology into the experience and designing in a thoughtful way.

161·25 days agoThe shift to Linux is a tough one, and it just cannot happen all at once. The longer you spend in a workflow, the longer it takes to change it. If we offer our support and kindness to people when they struggle with Windows, it lends more credibility when we recommend Linux. Plus, I’m not really going to complain about another opportunity to call out when Microsoft does more dumb shit.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"English
3·1 month agoIt’s the Laptop Studio 1, and strangely enough, it’s about flawless! The Surface kernel drivers are really good, and my model just so happens to have full support. The only gotcha is that howdy (Windows Hello style unlock using IR camera) doesn’t really work with KDE Plasma. The touchscreen will also pick up your palm as regular touch input, but a good palm glove solves that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do all you coders actually do?English
3·1 month agoCrazy to me that GUI seems to be a major focus in those situations. My IDE is most often pretty minimal, whatever it takes for me to get code on the screen, and unless I’m using the debugger, compiling and running has always been easier using a CLI. It’s good practice anyway, familiarizing yourself with the shell, code for your code lol.
I’ve been developing professionally for almost 10 years now, and started learning very young. The circumstances were different, but I think the principles are the same. Some folks here already mentioned taking on projects that interest you, and I’d definitely agree, provided you keep them small. Something that you’ll want to make can keep you motivated, and small wins keep you going. For something full stack, I’d recommend coming up with a CRUD web app (create, read, update, delete) that does something that’s fun. Maybe it’s a recordkeeper for a sports team, or maybe it’s a rudimentary forum. That sentence makes sense, no worries. You can use python to write your backend, see if you can make an API that just handles CRUD requests and builds and runs SQL statements for your database. Then just use whatever you’d like for the front end and call that API. It’s still a pretty big project depending on how new you are to this, but it’s hard not to be when full stack touches everything. If you’re completely new, I’d lay off and pick the front or back end to start with.

I still have the box for mine that advertises the TV tuner. I always wondered if there were other attachments too.
