You give up on hot reloading when using dear imgui and C++, though. There's nothing comparable to Vite in most ecosystems for building desktop programs, as far as I'm aware. Tooling is the problem, I've used imgui and it&#x27

I hope they upstream their implementation of Web Extensions to WebKit. I'm not interested in using a proprietary browser, and hope for a release under a free license at some point. But a free WebKit-based browser with Web Extensions co

I see it as English-centric, rather than US-centric. That differentiation isn't necessary in most (all?) languages. Adopting the word "gratis" when the speaker means "at no monetary cost" also helps clarify things.

After reading the, I don't feel convinced abtout the runtime performance advantages of WASM over asm.js. he CPU features mentioned could be added to JS runtimes. Toolchain improvements could go both ways, and I expect asm.js would bene

Last time I checked, the only way to publish to it was through a GitHub account. I hope support for other providers got/will get added.

In other words, it didn't hit any people running Stable distros, only users on Beta versions or rolling releases. Sounds like an improvement - having beta builds for people to catch those before they arrive in a stable GNU distribution

Agreed on the "this needs to be Debian" part. If some of the most popular JS packages were available through the system package manager as normal *.deb packages, I think people would be more likely to build on top of stable versio

I had a similar impression with using those constructs on TypeScript. IMO it's hard to justify creating Option<T>/Result<T,E> wrappers when T|null and T|E will work well enough for the majority of use cases. effect spe

Not the person you replied to, but: - Performance on game servers - Thoughts on concurrency in general, including whether you'd use the same primitives to achieve what you did back then - Areas where you felt the tooling was lacking, o

I wonder what those benchmarks would look like with .NET 10 and an AVX512-capable CPU.

Thanks for the clarification. I've read about Gleam here and there, and played with it a bit, and thought there was no way to directly access OTP through the Erlang libraries. This can be just my lack of familiarity with the ecosystem

The writing is really succinct and easy to follow. One thing that could be improved is that the author could break down some of the commands, and explain what their arguments mean. For example: > mknod rootfs/dev/console c 5 1

It doesn't need to be written by a human only, but I think generating it once and distributing it with source code is more efficient. Developers can correct errors in the generated documentation, which then can be used by humans and LL

That's fair, but the word 'biased' felt unusual to describe how they perceive the runtime.

I agree with your general idea. I'd add it also looks very similar to what typical GNU/Linux have in practice: blessed packages from the distros' repositories, and third-party repos for those who want them. Debian also has so

The author would probably find joy in using Zig. Personally my biggest complain from Rust is that I wish it was more readable. I've seen function signatures that seemed straight out of C++.
