Isn't VS Code literally written in Electron? It would be the easiest thing to implement.

All these problems come from these video call services trying to serve a million masters. If you're in a meeting it might be nice to have a big red X while you're muted, but it's distracting in an online class when you'r

Had this never happened, all those GPUs would have spend many long nights doing nothing. Gamers have a disproportionate number of powerful PCs, and the people that contributed their GPUs did it out of love for the game, not for some greater

> It's strict, yes, but most of that strictness helps with eliminating the types of errors that make your app break over and over again at runtime. Really? Most throwaway-script errors I get are simple things like IO mistakes, misty

You're missing the point. Here's a good article that talks about the problems of having neither overloading nor default parameters, but in Go.[1] The problem is made significantly worse in Rust when all struct fields need to be in

Haha, I can't count how often a company, when asked about its privacy, says that it's protected using "military-grade encryption."

You can't do compile time bounds checking, if that's what you're implying.

And you can emulate most of C++ in C with macros. Doesn't mean you should.

There are literally 100s of high level languages, for every imaginable programming paradigm. If you want to write fast code where you control memory and don't use a garbage collector, C, C++, and Rust are your only options. It's n

It's called "uniform function call syntax" because it comes from D unifies function calling between member functions and free functions. It's not called "uniform function declaration syntax" because the declara

I never said encapsulation was easy or obvious in C, just that it's nothing new or inherently OOP-based. I also never said that you should never use inheritance, I was just quoting the author, who, in his "defence" of OOP adm

by identity0 6y ago
The author flatly says "do not use inheritance." Without inheritance and polymorphism, what is left in OOP? If you look at the author's 4 pillars, the only thing left is encapsulation (and "Oversimplified Hot Takes"

I don’t know if this is actually how C++ compilers do inheritance, but reading about how GTK does object-oriented in C[1] taught me a lot about what (might be) happening behind the scenes in C++. 1: https://www.linuxtopia.org&#x2

For the third case it’s better to just abort. Tell the user to get more RAM or something. What are you supposed to do when you’re out of memory? Catch the exception? Then what? Related, I always find it funny when C programmers write `if (m

by identity0 6y ago
The obvious solution (in C++) is not to use exceptions at all, but make your own `error` and `expected<T>` class, and just add [[nodiscard]] to them. All the benefits of Go-style errors, you’ll never forget to check the error, and the

I’m pretty sure it works with ublock origin and umatrix. If the JS is blocked it won’t run. Not sure about NoScript though.

Why do we optimize our CPUs to fit our programming languages instead of desigining our languages around our CPUs?

What are you talking about? They have tests right here: https://github.com/Devs-Garden/jsonbase/blob/master/test.js Just uncomment the tests you want to run! Easier than using a testing library IMO.

Yes you can. I tolerate cats but I also tolerate cat haters. If people wanted to ban cats, I can disagree with them, but I wouldn’t be opposed to tolerating them, hearing their opinions, and giving them a forum to talk. Tolerance does not m

So? That just means that two variables are closely related. You have to be very blind and ignorant to take the implication that white people are less happy, or something. Is it racist to take a photo of a sad white person?

It’s a little funny seeing vue/angular/react/whatever people discover vanilla JS. I thought classList, innerHTML, and querySelectorAll were all extremely common knowledge.
