Not to name "names", but it's still full of ego members. I sometimes tries to answer question, the rush to down vote an answer much faster than the speed of light. I see similar behavior every time when I visit that section.

Something about that name man... I'm sure you remember he who must not be named.

Was beginning to think that I was the only one that remembered. I think he and SA are related though.

Unlike many who decide to leave (and later return) he seems done have done it without a rant.

No idea who SAK is so it must have been before my time but I enjoy teaching others and always have. This is why I try to not only give answers but also explain why their idea didn't do what they expected. Teach your fellow man for one day that knowledge may be returned ten-fold when you need it the most Progress is a group effort.

I've just shared that with the rest of the team

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

So Dell's just announced an 8K monitor - but it's only 32".
I currently use a 40" 4K TV on my desk as my primary monitor, and the individual pixels are smaller than the 1920x1200 24" monitor sitting next to it. At 40", I don't quite have to resize anything, but if they were any smaller, I'd probably have no choice but to resize everything (and I have better than 20/20 vision). I'm of the belief that resizing everything to 125% or 150% is a waste of pixels, since you're then allocating more of them to show the same content.
Everything being equal, I'd have to think if I didn't want to resize everything to 200% (or more), then an 8K display would need to be spread out on an 80" surface or so. This 32" Dell monitor seems like a complete waste to me.

I've wondered this every time I see a laptop with a high resolution and the screen's 14 or 15". I can never see anything. And I have 20/20.

I'd like to see a picture of your setup. And do you put sunscreen on when you start work?

Unlike most people, for years, I've been dropping the brightness on all my monitors all the way down to 0, and increasing the contrast to compensate.
This always horrifies the artsy-fartsy types as now my "color accuracy is completely shot" and "all the details are lost" and some-such BS. But I'm writing code on this thing, rendered in black, on a light-grey background (pure white for window backgrounds is evil). I'm not watching HD videos or editing high-color images that need to be printed.
I keep hearing from people with eyestrain and headaches and can't sit in front of a display more than a few hours each day. Usually it turns out they have their brightness cranked all the way to 100%. No wonder they feel like they've been staring at the sun. I can sit in front of my monitors for 8, 12, 16 hours a day with no eyestrain whatsoever.

well just damn, I'm going to be coding all weekend, so I'm going to try this. What sort of ambient or office lighting do you have?

During the day, I close the blinds--the window is off to the side, so I get no reflection.
During the evening, if I turn on any light at all, it's just a very small LED desk lamp to illuminate the keyboard. Avoid bright lights. And, again, reflections on the screen.
It might take some getting used to--I don't know, I've been working like this for so long I don't remember much about the transition period.
