As long as your system can encode it correctly, why not? Use a good font and you are fine

Using plan9 here and laughing. Utf8 everywhere, so no encoding problems etc.

@groxx it's indeed interesting. It also mentions plan9, my current operating system (and I use acme). I thought nobody knows it... Btw I rarely need code alignment

@groxx and also (for groups):

vara = 1;
varb = 2;
variable = 3;

Public windows 10 ads?

I hate IDEs. I want to code, not handle with suggestions from a system. Let me just code like I want (I use an editor). I also use tabs (tab character) for indentation and spaces for alignment. And it's not about what keys I press, but about what character is typed

Another point is that you have to pay and still watch their ads. Why are they allowed to broadcast ads? I pay for their service, so why?

Do netflix users watch ads? Do youtube premium users watch ads? Amazon prime users have to watch ads, but they still can skip them and it's not that long.

Nevermind, so I pay and don't watch. I only wonder where it will end: paying GEZ, amazon, netflix, youtube videos... I could also buy the DVDs directly and then I own them. But that's inconvenient, so copy them to my HDD or upload to the private cloud...

That's so german and not transparent that even @Benedikt s answer is in german language. I guess they could at least inform about what's paid with this money. Also there really are people who don't consume media. Have no TV, no radio, no phone. They still have to pay for what? The waves coming out of their bathtub? They pay for nothing. So I think some item based or internet contract based approach could be interesting

@C0D4 plan9 has very modern concepts and many things "done right". It abstracts everything to the same interface (file) and has a consistent usability. It's a clean OS and designed for graphical software (sadly no 3d) and mouse usage in a distributed network.

Imagine your speakers, displays, computing server, file server and internet gateway are all individual machines and behave like one. They are all connected via the same protocol. And you can use the setup with multiple users and everything is authenticated and encrypted. The users are literally sitting on the same computer and it's more like they sit next to each other than in any other modern solution (I can open files on your terminal, for example).

And that's all done with a lightweight, rest-like IP protocol and a small kernel and some fileservers. Plan9 can be ported easily (raspberry pi etc.) And there's inferno, a java-like implementation running on all major OSs (or bare hardware). Compile once, run everywhere.

Yes. 9front (the front fell off) is there (and a few other forks). Also the original plan9 (9legacy) receives some patches, but not that often. Also plan9 is not only a kernel, it's based on the unix philosophy (more than unix itself) and a complete system with many modern solutions

You can also look at mk. It's like make with less features (simpler) and more shell-like (only shell variables)

That unread WhatsApp message triggers me

@netikras glad you didn't mention "you can post memes and read others' memes" ... Oh, shit, sorry

@electrineer basically yes, you can. But there are still stores that don't accept "plastic money" and then you need cash. Also it's a good idea to always have some cash with you

I think the traditional system comes from the default line. When writing down numbers you write them from left to right. Voila, that's your x. Later it's like: oh, we also need another direction. So lets go... Umm ... Upwards, so it's called y. Later it's like: oh, where's the third thing? Oh shit, we need depth, that's complicated. Z.

Umm, actually I just remember it. Also in 3d it totally depends. Sometimes you have xyz coordinates systems, sometimes xzy. Also in 3d you often have different references, in UE4 we have global (world), local and bone coordinates, just to mention a few.

@lkjhgf253 I wouldn't say it's "wrong". Also companies have their own guidelines, so better use that at work (and if they use spaces, well, use spaces, too. Remember it's about readability)

Indentation is a personal preference. So if you indent with spaces, other users feel uncomfortable reading your code. Indent with tabs and the personal editor of the reader will display it correctly.
Alignment is for readability of similar lines following each other. You can use it perfectly for aligning the equal signs of variable assignments. You can assume that devs use monospace font, so aligning those things with spaces is totally fine and it's displayed correctly in all editors (using monospace fonts)

Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. That's a huge difference!

That's the reason why professional studios often hire external render farms. Afaik autodesk's arnold renderer is unable to gpu compute, so it's all cpu processing. You don't want this, even on a high end machine...

Well, I'm the only dev in a professional game project with 15 people or so. I'm coming directly from university and I'm one year in this company. We are searching for devs; at the moment I'm programmer, maintainer, tech artist, the IT guy and more. Of course I cannot deliver the quality I want. (help)

In our UE4 project the level loading hangs at 96%. Always. And then it needs 5 more minutes. 5 very long minutes

I read about a software that was stolen from another company. But the original company hid an easter egg in there and could verify that it's actually their creation.

The original company was then able to deploy their version, so their job was saved by a random dev deploying an easter egg

We finished a trailer today. Not our "real" product. Does that count?

Security in WWW, is that even possible?

"it's not the tool, it's the artist"

Bare git repo and some githooks would be easiest, at least for smaller tasks. Push and wait. Iirc gitlab also uses githooks for their CI tools

@irene I especially meant like: you hate it because you use it. If you never use it, you won't hate it that much, because you are not confronted by it or you automatically avoid it. If you are forced to use it you will learn to hate it more and more and then you rant about it on devrant

I'd also expect checkboxes to need to be confimed with a button. Switches are more like a state that's active immediately. Also checkboxes feel more like they belong together somehow, although this definition is weird: installation routines often end with checkboxes saying "view eula", "start x" etc.
On mobile and modern windows I'd go with switches, but check your platform guidelines. They try to provide a similar usability across apps and OS.

Isn't it possible that you hate them because you work with them so much?
