C4 comes to mind (C in 4 functions), https://github.com/rswier/c4 . have you considered adding a backend for LLVM? perhaps a bit heavyweight, but it could be a good way to get C/C++, fortran, rust, etc. if that&#x2

ok, i’m glad you’ve found an editor that better suits your needs. remember, this is a preference, not a competition. personally, i much prefer the responsiveness & lower memory footprint of sublime, and couldn’t tolerate trading those o

the linked video is the "pedophile blasted into space" segment from Brass Eye (a very dark humored current affairs parody from the late 90s), for anyone else unable to view.

changes at the individual’s level like this are meaningless on the scale at which carbon emission is occurring. for example, you could switch off every car, truck, boat, plane, train, ambulance, motorbike, etc. and you would reduce carbon e

that's a real shame. i understand that even with modern cross-platform UI toolkits, like qt and wx, multi-platform development is more labor intensive than an electron app. sublime text has been managing it for a long time though, and

interesting. i use it on linux and mac, and presumed it’d be the same in windows, because the app is clearly an electron-based app (and _drinks_ RAM as such). is the windows app native?

in principle you shouldn’t be downvoted if you’re adding to the conversation, and whilst i don’t agree with your overall thesis, i think you have a valid concern. the OP’s statistics line up with the assertion that vaccines are certainly ef
