Because they grow very well there. The dry climate makes disease much less of an issue. This leads to higher yields and cheaper fruit in the stores. Of course it comes with externalities like subsidization of the use of a scarce and dwindling resource.

I have no interest in a giant 4K monitor for my desk. But a 24" 4k monitor would look quite nice. I would want my font sizes to be the same as they are now, just sharper. I find sharper, higher resolution text easier to read as my eyes get older, than blurry text at the same size.

I was just thinking that although my eyes are getting older, I still can see the screen okay. Then I glanced up at the url bar in my browser and noticed I'm browsing the web at 150% zoom. Ha.

Okay so 27% feels like malicious compliance (and it is). But what is a reasonable fee, who decides what that is?

And all Epic/Unreal products should be free, or a few pennies, a nickel at most.
It's only fair.

Or in this case, eliminating eating food, period.

That's good to know. So you can run hipdi on the 4k with scaling (possibly fractional scaling) and normal dpi on the 1080p then? things don't get all blurry on the 1080p when X11 tries to downscale the screen?

Do any of those monitors use hidpi and scaling that's independent of the other monitors?

You've tried running screens with very different dpi then? If you have a window running at hidpi on the 4k and drag it over to the 1080p, what happens? Will the app get scaled automatically (hopefully the toolkit redraws instead of everything being blurry). My understanding is X11 cannot deal with that scenario at all, xrandr notwithstanding. But I've never tried it myself. Will have a 4K monitor to test with in the new year.

How well does X.org do with a dual screen system where one is 4K and the other is 1080P? For folks running laptops this sort of scenario is increasingly common, and X11 just doesn't do it very well.

I'm contemplating buying a 4K monitor and my main concern was how well X11 and the various desktop environments do hidpi. Having switched to Wayland, though, and with Firefox natively on Wayland and supporting fractional scaling, it makes the purchase a bit more comfortable.

Will to be fair if it had been 3d printed out of Peak or a number of other engineering filaments then no it wouldn't. Believe it or not there are consumer printers that can print this high temperature filaments. Obviously be didn't use over of them. In less critical applications people have been 3d printing and air box parts for cars for years. And no they don't melt either. Engines usually run well below 270 C. But this is not an airplane obviously.

I don't think the parent post was referring to epa testing. He was probably referring to his own experience at the pump. Some people calculated their mileage every fill up. Doesn't matter what the EPA said on the sticker.

It's been around for quite a while. It's seems to be a replacement for C and C++. Some see it as an alternative to Rust, but it doesn't have the same safety features. I would love to find a language that's a replacement for C++ that can be used to migrated existing code bases to, but none of them are, really. That's partly C++'s fault. It's very hard to interoperate with C++ code and libraries from other languages, without layers of wrappers (PySide comes to mind for Qt). Even interop between different C++ compilers is difficult. So for now I stick with C++.

New Glenn booster can also glide a bit during descent, not unlike the Starship. The strakes on the rocket create a tiny bit of lift, so it has a more flexible landing envelope than the mostly ballistic descent of the Falcon 9. I was very impressed by what New Glenn did on its first successful landing.

They better watch their ass.

The other launch site cannot reach the space station with either soyuz or progress.
