The Steam Deck OLED is absolutely fantastic. But yeah I'm almost at that point too. Windows is abysmal.

Why is this so hard to believe? This is proof that simple software can scale very well. Your takeaway, IMO, should be that a lot of solutions are over-engineered relative to the businesses they serve. Not every company handles Slack's

Almost no one uses remote SSH to do development.

I don't think that necessarily applies. Over time movie stars tend to become their own products and movies sell because of their involvement. I just don't see the same thing happening with animators aside from the most prestigious

This is a false equivalence because there are a limited set of NBA players. Sure lots of people play basketball, but NBA players have gotten to that upper echelon for a variety of reasons such as training, genetics, perseverance, etc. It&#x

Your kids will remember whether you were a good, supportive parent or not. They may reflect on your career as adults, but that's a fleeting thought and you'll already be very old by then.

Anecdotal, but I think this is just the case with all projects of this nature. People on Windows don't like not being able to use stuff. The same thing was happening with Bun, and yet I've met lots of Windows developers who hate J

This is a great point. So my parents were well-intentioned but were immensely restrictive in all areas of my life. I can't imagine just how much worse it'd be with the monitoring and restriction tools that are available nowadays.

Would this be faster than swiping? Because I basically only type with swiping.

The 4090, although definitely overpriced, is one of the most impressive cards I've ever used. It handles almost every game I have at 4k120fps with little to no issues. It's by far the best card I've ever owned. I think the mi

Is your problem domain relevant to low-level programming? Because if not, I would drop Rust immediately and just go with an easier language.

Maybe it's inexperience but I never want to deal with Maven/Gradle again.

Impressive project, thanks for sharing!

Interestingly I recently saw an MQ broker written in Java and it seemed to have some pretty impressive performance. I'm not a huge fan of Java's DX but I have to admit, that's some serious performance. Can't remember the

You built a raytracer in a weekend? That's kind of impressive :P

> and David Zaslav. this got a good chuckle out of me. what is it with hollywood and not being able to create products that people want to consume? and by extension cancelling projects that are in their final stages of development?

I always wondered if Go would be a good language to make a game in due to its concept of goroutines. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a shot.

I understand that some parts of the Node.js API does not use promises. I'm saying that promises are ubiquitous in Node.js codebases. The original comment said that promises are "not really" used in Node.js codebases. This is

> Most of the Node API is still reliant upon callbacks and the frontend absolutely doesn’t care. This is not true at all. Promises and async/await are ubiquitous.

We dropped Jest and switched to Vitest across the entire stack. It's a shame what happens to these projects over time...

+1 to what one of the commenters is saying. You can skip all of this and just use `tsx`. I currently sponsor that project. That's how impactful it was on all of my development. I will say that it's kind of sad that Node.js has dev

Someone on the OpenAI board watched too much Succession and thought that's how real life works.

I don't think it's that black and white. AI will get progressively better and sure, people will be faster to deliver things. But there still needs to be someone to be able to decipher it all. I've been using GPT-4 tons and it
