VSCode (and all Electron based editors) have undeniable input latency. Zed is built by the same team that developed Atom and Electron and one of their stated goals is to make up for the shortcomings of these technologies. If you don't

What are these non deterministic compilers I keep hearing about, honestly curious.

by WD-42 1y ago
I keep hearing this but it’s a head scratcher. They might be thinking of branch prediction, but that’s a function of the cpu, not the compiler.

The vast majority of programmers could learn assembly, most of it in a day. They don’t need to, because the abstractions that generate it are deterministic.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think the people that edit Wikipedia are the same people that are content with half truths from LLMs and thus no longer visiting the site. So I kinda doubt it matters much.

Who cares if the traffic is declining? I don’t find Wikipedia useful because it gets lots of visits, I find it useful for the information it contains.

It’s already been captured. Check out the docs for creating a new React app on react.dev: https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app It throws you straight at Next.js

The article says that bcachefs is not being removed from the mainline kernel. This looks like mostly a workaround for Linus and other kernel devs to not have to deal with Kent directly.

Seriously. I really hope this puts an end to the crappy VS Code forks so Zed can start getting the credit it’s due. These ai editors have really sucked all the air out of the room.

That’s what I’m saying. It sounds like a dream job. Like you said it’s a journey not a destination, but it’s also a journey on one of the wealthiest companies in the worlds dime, so it’s kinda lame when someone calls it out for being subop

I actually have some ideas about this kind of situation, drop me a line, email in my profile!

Not sarcastic at all. I'm in the same boat. I've been trying to get into contributing to Redox, but at the end of the work day when the kid is finally asleep it's hard to motivate.

Which makes sense when you are one of 3 developers at ID software. There's absolutely no room for waste. This is Meta. Let the kids build their operating system ffs. Is he now more concerned with protecting shareholder value? Who cares

by WD-42 1y ago
Exactly! It seems very narc-y. Just let me build my cool waste of company resources, it's not like Zucky is going to notice, he's too busy building his 11 homes. Imagine being able to build an operating system, basically the end-

Finally, an end to the VSCode fork madness.

I’m curious what about the language is getting more complex. Any examples? The ecosystem definitely seems to be getting much more complex, but the language itself hasn’t evolved dramatically since type hints that I can remember.

I feel so similar. I love python, I’ve spent most of my career writing it. It’s done well for me. But damn is it just not fun anymore. Runtime errors are not fun anymore. Runtimes are not fun. Virtualenvs are not fun anymore even though u

I saw this comment first and then read the zig and still couldn’t find the error until I read the explanation below it. This has to be a bug.

If you don’t want Tokio I have bad news for you. Rust doesn’t ship an asynchronous runtime. So you’ll need something if you want to run async.

For now. History has shown that workarounds for defaults tend to stop working at some point.

Can we count on ISPs not mucking with stuff at the transport layer? I feel like at some point the only way is to create new networks entirely.

This sounds like madness to me. At the least, browser + editor to view hot reloading output or docs at the same time. Terminal for tailing output.

by WD-42 1y ago
It hasn’t. I can’t remember a “rug pull” in the last 10 years. People forget arch packages are pretty much as close to upstream as you can get, the arch packagers tend to do as little as possible.

To me it’s not even the tiling. It’s the ability to switch focus to windows in a directional manner. Like super hjkl or whatever. I have no idea how people are still using alt tab in 2025.

Debian is awesome for servers or systems that you just want to keep running without messing with it. On desktop though it’s nice to have, for example, Neovim is that is not 3 major versions behind.

Debian is a gift.

The difference is most prompts take far longer than a single second to return.
