Just my 2 cents: Apple currently offers a great user experience in terms of app quality, stability, design, etc... That's because they have a total control over what can and what can't be uploaded to their app store. They run exte

Does that mean that it will work with the newest Edge based on Chrome? Hmmm... the entire switch to Edge might actually benefit Microsoft

I used to use Windows and Linux for a very, very, very long time. Never even thought "hey, those fonts don't look quite as good as they could". Then one day I tried Mac. Period. Oh boy, ever since I just can't use anyt

The author doesn't understand the actual value of a full-stack developer. A full-stack developer is not a 10x ninja developer in every language/technology in the "stack". A full-stack developer is a developer that has go

I'm actually OK with that. Those people are endangering themselves and the ones that can't get vaccines because of several medical conditions.

Is this actually a bug? I'd rather say that's kind of expected behaviour.

Sure. But that's not my point. My point is that the entire argument that Linus has about users willing to test and deploy code on the same arch is flawed. I'd understand and agree with that argument if we we're talking about

Vast majority of "cloud" user develop and deploy code written on languages that have "no idea" what architecture the CPU is running on. Eg, I code on Python/Django. Why would I care even a little bit about what set

I never really understood the obsession about WPM that some programmers have. You're a programmer, not a court reporter. You don't need +200 WPM. You need to think before/during/after writing each one of the characters y

Yes, that's what I said in my comment. But if you choose that path, you automatically have to deal with the problems from both worlds. "How do I configure webpack?", "Why is babel not working?", "How do I do _t

The main problem with SSR is that the moment you want to do something a little bit outside of the-happy-path of your framework o choice, you're knee deep into sh . Let me give you the simplest possible example. A form with multi-depen

How is Deskgap lightweighter than Electron if, at the end of the day, it's using the browser on my OS (which, let's assume, is Chrome)?

by alexandernst 8y ago
I fail to see how this is any resource-lighter than Electron. It still uses a browser. It might or it might not be Chrome, but it's still a browser, so it will certainly use, give or take, the same amount of resources the average brows

But why does every single DE has to reinvent the wheel with hotkeys? Why can't we have that provided by Wayland? (or maybe by libhotkey, if you wish). Why so much effort in replicating the same functionality over and over must be waste
81.
by alexandernst 8y ago
IMHO hotkeys is something basic. I understand Wayland is being designed with security in mind, but Wayland developers must understand that what they're trying to do is to, ultimately, create an X replacement. And X is, mainly, user-ori

I'd recommend the author to try a magic trackpad 2. I used to hate trackpads in general, but once I tried this one, I never looked back at mouses.

The article (nor my comment) doesn't say that AV1 can't do multithreading. What the article at texpion says is that it can't make CPU cores sustain hight loads the same way x264/x265 does. That said, I have no idea whats

by alexandernst 8y ago
I read a few times the results at texpion (the first 4 results from that DDG query), and I must say that I'm confused. I was expecting to see some particularly good results in favor of AV1, but the "Conclusions" section in pa

I did the same with my parents. At first, it worked good enough. But soon the support calls started again, and they shifted from "my PC is slow" to "how to I connect X to my PC", being "X" anything from "p

I'm saying this based on the decrease of activity in Atom's repo (publicly visible in the "Insights" tab in their repo) and the fact that the last few releases haven't had any significant changes, expect the GitHub

I was a big fan of Atom, but it's constant performance problems combined with the fact that even after Atom's team rewriting huge parts of the project in C++, doing witchcraft and what not, made me switch to VSCode. I'm still
