Is it like a notify system?

Omg this is super useful

[Remilia]

@DeltrusDisc
Yes

Works for quote and @

[DeltrusDisc]

Doesn't pop up notify like with messages.

Complain to chaud for that, :P, might take another 4 years.

What happens if someone has a name like "mister blablabla"? Can the @ command understand that the name is not composed of only one word or do we need to use the new [ mention ] tag in this case?

Yes, tell chaud to do more work. I see no flaws with this plan. All he does is sit around anyway, with templates.
I'm surprised to see this function though. And I dont know whether to assume it is done or needs tweaking. All added functionality I've seen added in mmoc so far has needed some additional work, so might be good offering the feedback.

Hey! PHP works.

...technically.

Haven't tested it myself, but others have and it seems to work.

We have one of those silly "speed tests":


Judging by this video the 8890 can open apps faster

And its battery life is apparently better too judging by reports and those benchmarks

Guess I was right about big.LITTE still giving better efficiency, the SD820 still has a better GPU though performance-wise. 9 hours SoT with default kernel and white as fuck theme is simply insane.

[Remilia]

That's not how you do a speed test especially against two different models -.-
Which is really why I'm waiting for Andrei's thingy.

Yeah, that's why I'll always call them silly.

Don't like how Vive / Rift are using pentile layout for the OLED display. =\

They can use 66% of the subpixels and market it as the same resolution, it's cheaper to make so it's expected =|

And to be fair, PenTile with ridiculously high DPIs isn't that bad, it should even give better diagonal lines.

Well, with ridiculously high DPIs. Dad recently bought a Samsung Tab S2 8" with a 2048x1536 PenTile display and I can honestly see the empty black spaces between subpixels if I look at it very closely. But from a normal viewing distance it looks okay. 9.7" model has a normal RGB layout, damn you Samsung.

Yeah... but these are VR devices is the thing. It's 2160x1200, sure it wouldn't be too bad if they weren't just a few inches from your face. AT Ryan Smith already noted that the spaces can be obvious and already pointed out Pentile. VR imo really needs those extra sub-pixels. If you're selling it at $600/800, cheapening out on the biggest component is dumb.

That's what I told at that Oculus rift thread, the screen is literally where everything comes from in this current model and the entire experience depends on it. But I guess they had to choose between higher res and RGB stripe or higher refresh rate and low-persistent displays, or save those features together for the next VR headset next year

[Remilia]

Should be able to have both, maybe.
Sony's is OLED RGB tile@120Hz, but don't know how much it'd cost them to go higher resolution.

I sometimes wonder how many programmers are on the verge of being diagnosably-depressed.
I feel like this is the kind of job that attracts people who are more prone to developing neuroses.
It's also the sort of job that demands you're well adept at conforming to the norms.

Maybe that's why the Xbox and Beer are standard fair at modern tech companies: without them
all the nerds would be killing themselves and each-other. They're like self-selecting asylums for
people who we know are 'crazy', but are too clever to fail the 'crazyness' tests.

No idea! But I thought Xbox was paired with Doritos and Mountain Dew.

It is when you're at home in your mom's basement (Why is it always "mom's basement"? don't fathers help pay the mortgage too?).

These days every tech company is on the 'be healthy' bandwagon. Crisps are made of kale, if there are burgers they come from some
boutique place rather than McDonalds. Beer-pong is out, yoga is in. Time's are changing.

Sexism...?

And... how about yoga with craft beer?
