I am a big fan of all Lisps (you will pry my Common Lisp REPL out of my cold, dead hands!), but there is only one that which has elevated both my hobby and professional work into a realm I can honestly describe as fun and intellectually stimulating even years after the honeymoon period has waned. That Lisp is Clojure.
This is totally false. Not only can you negotiate with them, but you can also set up very reasonable repayment plans based on your ability to pay. I was surprised how easy it was to do this and how willing they are to work with you to actually resolve everything. It does take a couple of hours to get an agent on the phone, though.
Your credit is not affected. Large companies do not "only pay a portion of the tax they owe". They are following the law and taking tax exemptions. You can do the same. Disagreements arise in the details of tax law in how various exemptions combine with each other, especially if you itemize deductions. You can't usually just say "I want to pay less", you have to have some reason why you think you owe less.
But how do you get them to finally give up? If they say you owe X and you say no, I owe Y, then does one of you have to threaten to go to court before expecting a settlement?
My monitor, a Dell UP2715K, is one of the most unsupported pieces of hardware I've ever dealt with on Linux. It has been a nightmare. Nvidia graphics card support has caused me weeks of grief as well. So why have I kept it? Because when I finally got everything to work, I have become addicted to the quality of the text! I honestly can't work with other monitors now due to the low DPI looking like absolute crap. Apple has ruined me. Too bad no one else has stepped into the 5K monitor market.
I was confused about how a monitor would cause problems until I understood that it is a very-high-res display.
I am happy that my dual-display setup at home works the way I want it to. Before getting my current desktop PC, I had not used GNU/Linux on a system with more than one display, and I had heard horror stories of how that did not work out very well. Fortunately, for me it just worked(tm).
Speaking of monitors, Eizo makes a monitor with a 1:1 aspect ratio, i.e. the display is a square, 1920 by 1920. I would so LOVE to have one of those, but of course it is prohibitively expensive (at least for my monitor budget).
The study is interesting but I find the term ‘action game’ too imprecise to actually be useful. Having just skimmed through the paper it seems like what they actually experimented with were highly linear games which require little to no perceptual mapping of the world into memory because you do not have to backtrack much or at all. But that is an artifact of that particular games linear level design, it has nothing to do with ‘action’.
I'll distinguish between their product (actually very good) and service (unreliable, slow). I consistently wish GitLab were as reliable and fast as GitHub, but I stick with them anyway because I think they are on the right path in business and product.
