For someone that only runs 3 programs (terminal, emacs and firefox) gnome is a terrible choice. In fact, a desktop environment is a terrible choice. > I want good text rendering and windows and buttons with rounded corners You don'

To prove your point... https://www.sitepoint.com/reddit-clone-react-firebase/ Yes, it's basically just a scaffold, but something like this could be iterated on. The challenges are around infrastructure and funding

Flashback to Digg.com... I hope the people currently in charge of Reddit know how that event played out... it was the single most significant stroke of luck a fledgling Reddit could have possibly hoped for.

Just look at the "Who's using Ink?" section and that will answer your question.

It's entirely due to Microsoft's hubris.

If you are using code splitting then importing directly gains you nothing.

Very nice. Projects like this are why I have a couple working 386s at my disposal. It's a blast to play around with projects like this on original hardware.

I'm done with these JS/Electron editors. They are Ok (for the most part), but using Neovim in 2023 is such a huge step above everything else if you have the inclination to learn it. I'm integrating my workflow into Nixos an

The responses you are seeing is what happens when you lack self awareness and humility.

I definitely think they are going in the right direction... it's going to be better for them to have their own thing rather than tacking on a ton of Gnome plugins and calling it "Cosmic".

My main issue with PopOS is that it's very problematic to upgrade. The situation that really annoyed me is that their gnome widgets have their own special style classes that are not supported by most universal themes, so the only way

For me, it's as simple as my audiences are different, hence what I choose to put in them will often be different.

Thanks, I agree 100%. It's a process, he's a hormonal teenager at the moment that I have to wear white gloves with when it comes to these things. We are making progress, tho... since I got him the Steamdeck he's been in Lin

I've had these issues with Gnome and Gnome derivatives. Give KDE Plasma a try. The UI/UX situation is vastly different (this is coming from a Gnome lifer).

The command line is a problem for intermediate users. I consider Linus from LTT to be at the upper end of intermediate and he was borderline incompetent in Linux. When you have enough knowledge to be dangerous and the hubris to assume you

Generally, I never think in terms of writing "DRY" code. I think the presumption of re-usability is a primary reason. I architected a React.js framework that needed to exist in our existing portal environment and play well with a

I absolutely loved playing TIS-100 despite having no clue what a real world counterpart would be. It was really nice understanding the limitations of the system and then trying to be creative to solve problems. I got through 3/4 of t

Wow, that was unexpected. They should take a break if they need to, but please don't close up shop.

I hear this a lot, but I personally don't get it. These games are the best part of my job (the problem solving) without any of the nonsense. Most games today are a grindfest that we convince ourselves is fun because it's happeni

I'm still in shock since the initial announcement. These guys are so good at game design, I thought they would be doing it forever. I guess you can't confine very special devs to one thing for most of their career. I hope the t

I definitely agree that it's strange that Nautilus can do this and the file picker can't. I also agree that consistency is important, but this issue has never caused me problems so I don't think anything of it. There are ot

I've not seen anyone using a tiling window manage with 32" and larger 4k displays. It's just an awful experience. I would use a tiling window manager (and have) on something like a chromebook or if I'm a youtuber that d

This is a weird hill to die on. I've never cared much about the file picker and the individual file preview is "good enough" to ensure you pick the correct file. Now if Nautilus didn't have image previews in "icon

The stream quality is my experience as well... I was shocked the first time I watched a 60fps hockey game (and it wasn't on sportsnet or NHL channel). There are ways to not have any issues catching any game you want to watch, but older

Slightly off topic, but I used to pay the $25/month USD for Center Ice (or whatever the program is called). I watch 2 teams regularly and only care about them, but I was still fine to pay the full $25 for the convenience. I only watc

I pair it up with Alacritty on Mac and Linux for a nice performance boost. It will work in iTerm or one of the default Linux terminals, but much slower.

NeoVim can compete on this front. See LunarVim for a heavily extended experience.
