The mingw libraries are probably statically linked with the mingw runtimes, whereas the msvc libraries can assume the runtimes are going to be there and dynamically link them. The debug libs are including all the statically linked debug symbols, too, so they’re huge. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce Sometimes it has to be a specific HDMI port on the TV. It seems like you did your research, but maybe you didn't try that? I'm familiar with the HDMI->DVI trick, and that's often used to trick a NVIDIA card into behaving properly and sending the correct signal. You could try using onboard video or an AMD card if you've got one, just to test. If you're already not on NVIDIA, that's why the HDMI->DVI dongle doesn't do anything. |

Posted by CaptainJistuce Coincidentally, I've got an old 42LD450, and 4:4:4 only works on HDMI 1, and the input label needs to be set to PC (changing it also makes the sharpness control work differently). |

Posted by wertigon The biggest thing I love with newer editors is Language Server Protocol support, or "Intellisense." Nothing saves time like having the API documentation pop right up without having to look it up, or having your compiler parse everything as you go and correct typos. It's even standardized and can be included in basically any editor you want. |

Posted by kode54 While some of that group are hateful xenophobes, some believe immigration is bad because “conservatives” told them that immigrants are responsible for their problems. The truth is that those conservatives would quickly give up immigration restrictions in a Brexit deal so long as they ensure the UK is removed from EU trade regulations. They’re supported by corporations, and US corporations, too, because they’re afraid they’ll eventually be forced to match the EU’s stronger consumer protections. Politics is a shit-show right now, with British Trump and American Boris Johnson doing most of the stinking. We need to eject those buffoons and get back to being truthful and respectful to each other again. |

Posted by sureanem Trump. Results. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh wait, you're serious? Trump has provably done the least of any president in modern history. You can't blame it on congressional stalemate--he had two full years with support of both houses and accomplished nothing. He had to steal money from emergency response funds to start building his "wall," and it's been calculated that putting the money towards hiring more border control workers and increasing patrols would have a significantly greater effect, as well as creating jobs. They couldn't come up with a health care plan that was feasible, so they settled on reversing previous legislation, but that didn't pass because even the Republicans couldn't shine a good light on it. Trump: "But no one wants to do anything but impeachment hearings!" Well, then, since you claim to have nothing to hide, pass along all the requested information and get it over with. Tax returns have been released by every president in the past, so why fabricate excuses to not release them? It's dragging on so long because nobody is complying with subpoenas and are violating the law on the White House's orders (and because of vague threats). It's not going to pass the Senate. The Republicans there have already confirmed they don't care what Trump did and will vote against his removal. Impeachment was a political mistake, forced because of outrage from the far-left. So just pass the information on and we can have it finished quickly. |

Posted by sureanem Please explain. How has he revitalized the Republican party? As for the impeachment, why finish it quickly? As they say, never interrupt your opponent while he is making a mistake. I don't think it's a mistake that benefits anyone. It just wastes time and energy. |

Posted by sureanem No, I haven’t read any stories like that. Please elaborate or point me to those. Your last paragraph doesn’t say anything but “it declined, then resurged.” What specifically did this entail? Posted by sureanem He cheated on his wives with porn stars and has been married three times. He’s definitely not socially conservative. The budget deficit has been increasing, so he’s not very fiscally conservative, either. What kind of conservative is he? |

Posted by sureanem Maybe they abandoned those values when they realized they were hateful and not for the good of humanity? Being conservative doesn't mean never admitting you made mistakes in the past. The intent is to conserve what is good.

Posted by sureanem Support is affirmation of actions. A parallel would be a 1940s German man saying "I don't agree with Hitler's plan to exterminate the Jews, but I support him because he's really effective at getting it done!" Acknowledging Hitler's control of the populace in a retrospective manner is also completely different from allowing and approving negativity and hostility in the present. |

Posted by sureanem A google search defines support as: "give assistance to, especially financially; enable to function or act." The word choice doesn't matter, though. "Giving support to" him enables him.
No, an ethical person would look at him and realize that, even though he shares the same political alignment, his views are crazy, and it doesn't boil down to casual politics. If you look at it mathematically: your ballot is just a number n you select between -1.0 and 1.0. The electoral outcome is the average of all ballots. Assuming you know the projected outcome, why would you ever cast a ballot where -1.0 < n < 1.0? Either your desired outcome is below the projected outcome, and then you vote 1.0, or it's above, and then you vote -1.0. That assumption of yours won't pass muster. There are an electoral college, districts, and gerrymandering to deal with. It's winner-take-all. The resulting president isn't going to change alignment based on the voting average. |

Posted by Kawa I dunno. I'm very impressed with AMD's open source drivers. Apparently their Windows OpenGL drivers aren't so good, so that may be your point, but that could eventually be fixed by using the OSS ones there, too. NVIDIA has stuck to it's archaic driver with lots of "technical debt" in it, and they've neglected open source and can't do Wayland because of it, so I'm not impressed with them. The driver works OK for games, though, and they've added options to get rid of their terrible input lag. So that's a plus. Vulkan is looking like it could fulfill its objective and actually unify everything, even if just as an underlying base. |

Posted by tomman Yes, the OpenGL part does, but there's no reason to use it unless you're a corporation and want "support." The Vulkan part of the blob is basically just the open-source AMDVLK, and its binary is literally just a library and spec file that you can drop anywhere, which makes it easy to try if RADV isn't working. |

Posted by sureanem Your English is perfect, probably better than mine. I meant that supporting someone in any way is going to help push their agenda unless it's completely passive.
I was talking about Hitler. Many voting for him knew he was all for extinguishing certain races. Even among those afraid of the communists, those who knew of Hitler's insanity and didn't agree did not vote for him. Trump's racism may be more subtle, but I think the present situation now parallels it. They didn't vote for classical conservatism. His supporters voted for him because they shared his beliefs, or they believed his lies.
It's the US and UK we've been talking about. Regardless, you've stated that you're just a conservative, not a supremacist, so I won't question you any further. |

There be diminishing returns. My old diamondtron could go up to 140hz, but past 85-100 it didn’t look any smoother to me. 120hz being the LCM of 24, 30, 60 makes a good stopping point. |

An interesting thing happened yesterday. My cats love to jump onto desk in front of me to demand attention. One of them will lean heavily into my monitor to “snuggle” with it. Well, a tuft of her fur managed to get inside it between the backlight and the LCD, leaving fur scattered throughout. I managed to open it up and clean it out, but I somehow damaged the panel’s data connection, so the display is spuriously corrupted. I honestly expected displays to be more resistant to ingress than this. This is a Dell p2715q, for what it’s worth. I’m hoping my chosen replacement is sealed better. |

Posted by funkyass In the US ATM it’s 3600 for 195 USD and 3700x for 300 USD, so the price ratio is much better. If it’s like that in AUD I think franpa’s choice is probably ideal. |

Given his post history, I think he’d be happier with the 3700x. He’s going to want to have the extra single-thread performance. I would have gone for a x470 motherboard because I know the stupid tiny chipset fans on the x570 would annoy me, and the b450’s choke buzzing would be more audible, too. I’m looking at RAM prices, and 16gb 3600MHz is only about $5 more than 3200MHz right now, so the bump is worth it. Posted by Nicholas Steel That’s partly down to Diablo 3’s poor frame pacing. G-sync or freesync will allow it to catch up and stay smooth when Diablo stupidly passes over the vblank interrupt in its timing loop. |
