   Oh, and Gnome3 is absolutely "written with JS" https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/graphs/master/cha...

   I was not necessarily talking about performance when mentioning JS. It was the memory leak. Gnome performs "fine?" at bootup, but starts becoming sluggish as you use it because their JS interpreter doesn't automatically have

   Gnome IS slow. Have you used unity 7? It has more animations and effects but still performs way better than gnome3. Gnome3 isn't bloated, it's just written with js. Plain and simple. It's known that driver support is bad. But

   You can blame js for that. It's known as the famous gnome memory leak.

   Gnome is slow because it uses js. I don't understand how anyone would agree that using js on a desktop is a good idea. Goddamn, designers...

   That's great, but we really need something like this that can allow us to simulate microcontrollers / raspberry pi. Development would become really simple for us software guys then !

    We really need something like flutter for the web now. I'm sick of writing markup and stylesheets (react jsx is basically html with a little sparkle). Flutter integrates styling markup and business logic in such a wonderful way, I&#x27

    Which Ubuntu Linux? The gnome one or unity one? I liked untiy too, it was almost perfect. But gnome3 messed it up for everyone. Even though the unity desktop elements remain the same, unity still relies on gnome apps, like nautilus. I don&

    I agree, but the old DEs feel old to use, because well, they're old. Mac still feels modern.

    This really needs to be a thing with OS ui. Changing UI in gnome world, and linux world in general is a real problem. Why can't stuff just stay where I rememeber it is! Mac OS does quite well in this area, at least compared to windows

    There is also the tooling behind react, that makes it hard to use in NON node environments. Create react app is wonderful, but only if you're writing node backends. Here is partial solution to this problem https://github.com

    Threads are not hard. In fact, threads are extremely easy to implement. However, real Threading code is just incredibly difficult to reason, just by looking at it. This makes it easy for you to introduce race conditions without even knowing

    I am not sure, but serverless requires more config and tweaking as compared to arhitect. In contrast, serverless is a more mature and flexible platform.

    Yup, serverless works quite well. have used it myself. Albeit, I'm not fully sold on this whole fake-serverless architecture. A major part of it is that AWS is arguably frustrating, since the docs are __clearly__ written by marketing p

    Great! Another file format for me to learn. Why can't everyone use one of the standard file types, like YAML/JSON?

    This kind of makes sense if you look at how this should work.. Having a single port for everything is bad idea, because the electrical interface can't possibly be the same for everything. Making this happen is obviously a really hard t

    I hate how people don't mention the quality of work one is doing on Github, or anywhere for that matter. I've personally seen people make one-liner commits deliberately, to get a good graph. On the other hand, some people write co
