Designers should be very familiar with the standard widgets, idioms, and interactions of the platforms they're designing for, but I don't think performance is rightfully something they should have to worry about.

This is good, yes, but it requires that the team culture does not treat minor deviation from the Figma document as a bug or a failure of the developer. That mindset isn't always present, and it's not usually up to the product engi

I get this and it's a fair point but Discord is also a completely different interaction model from Reddit, so it's hard to see how the groups will make the transition. Discord is chat-stream oriented; a subreddit is much more foru

I have been satisfied with Anchor-Hocking. They have a different kind of glass than borosilicate but it is still specially made for resisting heat. https://www.anchorhocking.com/why-choose-glass/

I've been curious about this; is rotation or segregated accounts more complicated when operating in the Fediverse? It seems like you're meant to have a single identity across everything.

Maybe Wren? It has classes and method syntax too but it's mostly C like: curly-braced blocks, operators are pretty much the same, slash and slash-asterisk comments, if/while/for with parens, ... Statements are not terminated

I haven't tried Zig, but "all the things you like about C plus better versions of most/all of the awkward bits" seems like a reasonable value proposition. Especially since the compiler can apparently let you use C painle

Excellent tip. A lighter form, that I use personally for Reddit, is to not sign in persistently. I always use a "private" browser window when I log in, so the cookie isn't saved, and the next time I want to log in I have to g

Indeed; this is called Kernighan's Law: > Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? https:/

Point taken about the developer documentation. But the query language is only user-facing if the tool you're using exposes it. And the CLI only if you need to build your own grammars; I expect that to be less and less common as time go

There's not much end-user documentation the Tree-sitter project can really provide. It's a programming interface. The stuff that an Emacs, NeoVim, ... user is actually interacting with depends on the integration in the editor. So

It's possible that Apple's new Xcode Cloud service could support this at some point, providing a continuous pipeline from source to release. Though I doubt it is a high priority for them.

There is a fork of pass called "passage" that uses Age for encryption instead: https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage Unfortunately I don't believe any iOS/Android apps exist to work with it so far.
