- foepys 5y agoDid Electron fix the 60Hz (or rather current screen refresh rate) cursor blinking? Otherwise I don't see many web devs getting a lot of runtime in.
- barelysapient 5y agoThat's actually a curious question, I wonder what the most energy efficient dev tool is. Can't imagine its VScode. Maybe plain terminal with VIM?
- willseth 5y agoThis is true, but it's not worst case by far. Most video is 24 or 30 fps, so about half the typical 60 hz refresh rate. Still a nice optimization path for video. I'm not sure what effect typing in an editor will have on screen refresh, but if the Electron issue is any indication, it's probably complicated.
