I have this monitor and I still encounter Python code that I have to scroll horizontally for.

Honestly, be careful of neck injuries.

I went to a specialist physiotherapist. One of the top in my state. She was adamant that if you're using a multi monitor setup, that the main monitor be DIRECTLY in front of you, with the secondary one off to the side. This was to stop you always looking at a partial angle.

Better to spend most of your time looking directly straight, and looking over to one side regularly, than to always be looking on an angle.

That monitor is like it was designed to destroy your body.

Just be careful. It catches up width you. (Boom tish)

Really great advice!

I actually find that having the ultrawide has been better for my neck as I use the centre of it as a 16:9 coding area with two 8:9 sides for docs, browser etc. I move my neck less and only my eyes. It’s awesome!

I've been using one full time for about five years now without issue. Even kind of like having to move around a little

Windows 11, and windows 10 with powertoys installed, support window snap areas. You can easily snap a window to the middle.

After using it for a year it’s impossible to work a wide monitor without it.

I pity you - everyone should have access to hard tabs in their editor.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean hard liquor.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Hard liquor is a good substitute if you lack access to hard tabs.

It's time for a triple monitor setup then.

I'll need to motorize my chair so I can scroll myself over to the rightmost widescreen monitor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Yuck.

That ain't pep. That ain't black, isort, flake8 goodness.

Just delete it it does nothing of value, install those extensions as commit reqs and they'll fix it on push lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

God damn, perhaps you need one of these ultrawide large format displays that are used for advertising lol

I'll die on the hill that 120 is a much more sane line length than 80. It's the one of two pep guidelines I always ignore. It isn't the 70s anymore

Rotate the screen by 90° for perfect Java Stacktrace compatibility

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

That's Excel. It's almost possible to see a complete data scientist's formula without line break.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

That monitor is bigger than my desk lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Add another one to the side and you can almost read the linker error on one line!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I wonder how many enterprisify's this screen can take on a single line:

Sadly not its meta factory.

Who Javas in Excel?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I worked on that monitor, it's rather shitty. Give me two monitors side by side any day

I have a coworker who has 4 curved ultrawide monitors on his desk.

Edit: I checked by his office today, and it's actually 3 ultrawides and 2 flat monitors. Sorry for misrepresenting the facts y'all.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Does he have them loop around 360?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A 360 ring of curved monitors. You could get two pixels, and accelerate them around the ring in opposite directions then collide them at close to the speed of light.

After train, farm and goat simulator, now LHC simulator.

Java's conventions are self flagellation.
