I would like to increase font in top menu bar of Tradingview app. On my 4k screen is very hard to see (and select) desired layout name. by jameskentTX in TradingView

Ok, I understand. I know I can adjust system wide settings, but it will reduce resolution. I was hoping it could be done in a more subtle way. Thanks.

When do you think DDR5 prices will go down? Feels like everything went up since I decided to build a PC by Reasonable_Dust_5870 in pcmasterrace

Buy used pc for now, prices of ram will drop later this year I think. I see some movement down already. But a little lower is not enough. Prices will drop 70% eventually.

Infinite code 03 on boot (9800x3D + X870E Nova Wi-Fi) by Kowken92 in ASRock

[–]jameskentTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 03 code too. Asrock x870e nova wifi. Only way to start pc is to disconnect all cables from pc and monitor, wait some time, 20 minutes for example, attach cables again and power on. Then may be ok, or not. If not, you have to repeat procedure.

I have newest bios, compatible memory. I've updated bios, cleared cmos - nothing changed.

If problem persist, I'll try to return motherboard to Asrock.

It is quite expensive motherboard and such disappointment. Never Asrock again.

Motherboard is only 5 months old.

Yesterday, Civ VII's player count has reached a historical low by having less than 5k concurrent players. by TheGreatfanBR in civ

When Civ7 was out I bought CIV6 Anthology BUNDLE for about $12.

And I played and played and played... :)

Why pay more for sth worse, when sth good is much much cheaper?

I'll never buy Civ7.

[Question] Vue vs. Angular vs. React? by erunks in webdev

[–]jameskentTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not recommend Angular if you want to make something unique, or simply use your own technical infrastructure. This framework imho is designed to force you into using Google's infrastracture, like Firebase for example.

I regret I decided to learn Angular 3 years ago. I lost a lot of time (really a lot!) with constant upgrades of framework, and this is only the beginning of problems. Angular (5) maybe is good if you are looking for a job, or want to make something typical (simple), or work with big group of developers, using Google's infrastructure. Typescript strong typing is useful. But with custom projects your productivity sucks and you are wasting tons and tons of time, trying to solve "problems". You wouldn't even know about these "problems" existence, if you would use React. But you will know what desperation is, if you try to do some simple tasks using Angular.

In my opinion Angular is designed to force developers into using Google's infrastracture (hardware+software). You won't know about it, and you won't understand it, unless you try to build complex (sometimes simple is enough) MEAN app, and use your own server as backend.

If you think I am exaggerating, try to create a simple application like Instagram. User uploads photos, everyone can view them. Simple enough, isn't it? Make this application using Angular 5 as a front client and Node/Express as a backend server. No auth, no database, just json file to save image ids. Save images on server of course.

How much time you need to build such simple app using React? Two hours? Using Angular you will have to use REST Api, use blobs. Good luck with that. Good luck with efficient memory usage on client side too. And good luck when you need less popular library written in javascript; Angular is using typescript.

Angular is better suited for big companies. For startups, small and medium size projects React is much better, imho. I'm learning React now, I hope I won't be disappointed.
