  • I don’t know if I want my text to be that bright TBH.

    I have a 1000 nits monitor and IMO it looks best with things like stars in a night sky or lights in a dark cave.

    When it gets too much of the screen bright at once it hurts my eyes. Sometimes that happens when playing Destiny 2, which generally has a pretty good HDR implementation, but when too many explosions happen at once it gets overwhelming.



  • For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

    But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.














  • The multiple power supplies are for redundancy. It will work with one plugged in but you are “supposed” to plug in both.

    It’s fundamentally not that different from a consumer desktop. Plug in a monitor and a keyboard and a USB with your preferred flavor of headless Linux installer on it. Configure ssh as the first thing you do because you won’t want to plug the monitor and keyboard into it every time you need to tweak something.

    You can probably find VGA to HDMI adapters if you can’t find a monitor with VGA support.
