I was looking at Rapoo they actually have a pretty decent legacy behind them. I can’t vouch for them personally though.
I’ve found some good middle tier mice cheap like NZXT Ergo(terrible software though), Mountain Makalu and Kysona Uranus for cheap too. Cherry xtrfy m50 wireless is also great for me just a tiny bit heavy but very nice otherwise.
They’re all decent personally i’d recommend chinese brands that have been veterans in the industry good track record like Rapoo, XTRFY, Pulsar, VXE, etc.

LARP post. Not even freetards think POSIX is good, GNU famously makes a mockery of it.
>>
>>107678527
Linux does not have system calls to create a window. So you can really only statically link primitive console applications.
>>
>>107678572
You could statically link X11 or Wayland libs, or GTK. And then you'd have to statically link libc too and deal with all the ways THAT will (and it will) eventually break because libc isn't the only thing breaking ABI compatibility.

Or you just do what everyone else does and dynamically link everything and just tell your users to recompile everything when libc decides it's time for our irregular and unscheduled ABI breakage (Linux distro package manager approach), or to run it in a container from now until all time (Valve's approach). ABI compatibility on POSIX is and will always be a fucking clusterfuck and it's a miracle they managed to learn nothing from Microsoft doing it right for all the world to see.
>>
>>107678650
30 years ago the current Linux way of dealing with compatibility would be insane, but these days I think it's fine. Storage is cheap and the Steam Linux runtime literally just werks. Flatpak does basically the same thing and it works well enough that some companies use it to ship commercial software.
The Windows way seems magical until you run into apps that just don't work, in my experience it's a complete crapshoot.

balanced signal lines so you don't get interference from the equipment itself, some satanists use it for dual data lines with common ground, also it was briefly used as a standardized connector for fucking machines (i am not kidding, this is real, the biggest manufacturer used dummy xlr plugs for toy retention and a normal xlr for the controller and everyone else followed suit for compatibility with bootlegs)

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?
I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release.
The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.
What do we do afterwards?

Currently, there are millions of programmer positions around the world, and I'd say 90% of those positions are easily replaced with AI. Look, the overwhelming majority of the job market is web-dev, something that has extensive documentation, frameworks, well-defined constraints, etc. It's literally the perfect type of work for AIs, which is exactly why we have the impression that AI is much better than junior developers and most mid-level developers.

I'd say Claude does about 80 or 90% of my web-shitter work these days, the other 10 or 20% is basically reviews, documents, and meetings, which AI helps with, but can't completely replace me. The problem is that by reducing a team's workload by 80%, it means you now only need 20% of the team to continue delivering the same throughput as before. The only reason to keep current programmers is this: you're a big tech company that needs to secure professionals for its own future, or you have such a huge backlog that even without AI you would need to hire more employees to meet the demand. Companies with this profile are a minority; most people work with web-shit, basically pasting pieces of frameworks together, nothing innovative or groundbreaking.

In a few years, being a programmer will be like being an artist; only truly brilliant individuals will be able to make a living from it. Most will need a side hustle or even change professions entirely. But look on the bright side, this will serve as a filter to remove all those Indians and Chinese who came to the US and EU.

I've had an OLED monitor for 3 years now and barely ever pixel clean or pixel shift or whatever and there's 0 burn in or issues that you mentioned.

>there's 0 burn in or issues that you mentioned
There's 100% sure burn-in in that monitor, but it's most probably unnoticeable, and have in mind that when you put the monitor to sleep it automatically performs the pixel refresh by itself, so at least once a day it's doing its thing even if you don't do it manually.

Not the other guy, but I'm on my (oled) phone and there's absolutely zero raised blacks on any of the 4 displays (which is kinda suspicious, btw).
