I feel like I've seen mention of them looking at Servo long term - but don't quote me and please someone correct me if I'm wrong. WebkitGTK being so lackluster is indeed a problem - I ran into this of all things in a wxWidget

egui works for things where you can get away with non-standard-OS behavior and/or are fine with immediate mode. Quite a few projects are not under this umbrella. > How much of this is mitigated by being web-API-based? Tauri makes

Plenty of open source software out there is able to figure out how to ship in the Mac ecosystem without needing to go through the app store.

This is really specific, but for this point in the article: > There’s a long guide on Embedding a Command-Line Tool in a Sandboxed App, so I followed that, and then slowly, painfully, factored Xcode out of it, so that I wouldn’t have to

No objc macro? I still use that for cacao and it mostly “just works”.

…are you maintaining a pre-ARC code base or something? Retain and release shouldn’t be that big of an issue otherwise.

You're noting "2" when I just said "most". Doesn't need to be a measuring contest here.

KDE is fine with little to no padding. Their problem is often that they have inconsistent padding/spacing, which just throws everything off as death by a thousand cuts.

I am commenting on the reasons why most programmers I've met get stuck with CSVs as a data format. I am not commenting on some ill-fated attempt to add types to CSV columns. Edit: removed a "not" in the wrong place.

> Maybe you just don't know a lot of programmers. What a completely odd thing to say on a site like this, but alrighty. Anyway, I'll be clear: I run a business that deals with CSVs and their oddities. I am acutely aware of ho

by Klonoar 3y ago
No programmer I know _wants_ to use CSV. It’s often a requirement foisted on them by another team or entity that they just have to work around.

That’s the game, yeah. Sometimes you have to do shit you don’t want to do in order to accomplish what you do want to do. It’s on you.

Saying “zero work out into this” and noting they didn’t prioritize it is different from implying they’re naive and unaware of how complex and intricate Accessibility can be. I’m not actually interested in whether they support it or not - I

No, I’m aware of how people downplay the scope involved in building a GUI framework. I’ve written your comment no less than (I estimate) 10 times on this very site. I give these devs the benefit of the doubt given their prior body of work.

To be clear, you can ship your own renderer (I’ve done it for e.g Apple TV). You get fucked when you want your own complex engine with a JIT JS engine.

by Klonoar 3y ago
Difference is you can write your native layer in Rust.
918.
by Klonoar 3y ago
The JIT aspect is merely one component of the larger picture. With PWA’s specifically you have the entire browser stack to move around. Native code simply does not have this constraint. They are (IMO) correct that having less layers between

This is a very HN-eternally-online position. I've not run into any engineer in the real world who doesn't (even begrudgingly) accept that politics are a thing that are going to happen. Groups of people are politics. At some point

Were you not around during the big iOS custom controls era? It’s less pronounced now but it’s not like every native app ever has avoided custom controls. It is not fundamentally wrong to do custom stuff. I prefer native apps as well but thi

As someone who had this happen to them but in London: yeah, this is how it goes. Once flights resume it’s a thundering herd problem of annoying proportions too.

I hate the modern interview loop as much as the next person, but from a business perspective why would you want to risk 30 days of nothing vs a few extra hours to verify? We should fix the modern interview loop (very hard) but the idea we’d

It's nowhere near an alternative to a full blown web-browser yet, much less when it's still macOS-only. Tauri and Electron offer so much that is taken for granted when building GUI applications. GPUI, by all indications, looks lik

> And you're arguing the complexity that has to be somewhere should go in your custom built jQuery modules instead of components built with a well-known framework? jQuery + the DOM are well known frameworks. ;P

by Klonoar 3y ago
You have a very different definition than what this site has historically been about. :)

by Klonoar 3y ago
No, if you actually make modules with jQuery where it’s creating it’s own DOM tree, it’s no different from what React & Co are doing. Reasoning about the DOM structure has almost never been an issue in my almost 20 years of professional

This really isn’t a lot of money for anyone in the USA, which is where the product is offered. Hell with the current economic environment I unfortunately spend more than this on my morning coffee.
