This is unfortunate, but I'm sure everybody saw it coming from a mile away. Anyone aware of community forks that might be gaining traction?

I used to build my own desktops when I was younger, but my most recent desktops have all been Intel NUCs, mostly due to valuing time/space/noise over raw price/performance (and due my rapidly declining gaming needs). One feat

This. Data and transformations on data (map, filter, reduce, etc) are trivially composable. Imperative loops are not (unless you abstract them away behind a function that accepts and returns data, in which case you'd be re-implementing

One key part of the suggestion that might have been overlooked was to hire fewer engineers than you would have otherwise. This could mean hiring 1 really amazing engineer instead of 2 or even 3 average ones depending on the realities of you

For those looking for details, I remember watching a Linus Tech Tips video on it a while ago. Just managed to dig it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg4 Forum thread has more: https://linustechtips.co

Glad to hear I'm not alone in this. Currently at 133%, so not quite as extreme. Judging from the responses, this is actually a lot more popular than I assumed. Which begs the question: Does anyone feel the default font is just perfect

If you're reading this and are an startup founder hiring software engineers, one way to help kickstart the trend in this direction is to hire fewer engineers than you otherwise would have, and become _much more selective_ with who you

Don't have a list, but Dark is doing some really cool things with an editor that depends pretty much exclusively on structural editing (i.e. you can't even make a syntax error if you tried): https://darklang.com/

Awesome to hear that amazing tech like tree-sitter lives on even though Atom, the product it was built for, is pretty much on life support at this point. Curious if there's any efforts to bring tree-sitter to VSCode? Exposing tree-sitt

Another great example of this is effective keyboard navigation is both an accessibility feature and something you can sell as a feature for power users who like to get things done as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

> Clever. And so frustrating that optimisations need to be turned off due to bad actors. Definitely this. Reminds me of the whole Spectre/Meltdown debacle.

Yeah, I think the fundamental problem we're seeing here is how difficult it is for creators of open source projects to effectively capture the value they create in the world, especially at the higher end of the scale of _extremely_ pop

Wow... I was totally convinced by the security argument until I read through this thread, which completely obsoletes that premise. It's no different from a PWA (like WhatsApp) in its update behavior then.

Really though, how long do we expect that arrangement to last? The Facebook WhatsApp thing makes it pretty clear to me that they can afford to walk back on that arrangement as soon as they feel they can afford to take the PR hit. For someth
