Sounds like a cool hobby. But solving basic desktop tools, sounds like bikeshedding to me :) Not to disrespect the project, I find Objective-C and the Cocoa model nice, but realistically looking at it almost nobody uses GNUStep, so why writ

Well, that is a clever way to market your product .. by writing a blog post about it that is disguised as a blog post about marketing, while you are actually marketing your product that helps you market your startups.

Yeah this was a really interesting project when it got started, like in the late 90s ? Now, realistically, even though I like the idea, who is going to use this ? Maybe like a compatibility setup for old NeXTStep applications ? Or porting s

Enjoyed looking at the code, might want to try this system out when WebGPU starts to be more relevant. The importing of .glsl symbols somehow into typescript would be perfect for playing around with effects. Many times it would be better to

Personally, what has been your biggest challenge with this project ? How did you overcome it, or how do you keep overcoming it ? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I can see how that drives popularity, and yes now that I think about it the consistency of your efforts are what made me become aware of your theme also, so congrats on keeping at it and achieving what

I have a hard time seeing why this is such a popular theme.. maybe it's just because it is available for so many different editors. On the other hand, would be cool to have an application / database that could convert any theme to

Have a good enough price, and you don't have to sell hundred thousand copies to make some profit. Yeah it's pretty cool that somebody could market a color scheme.

by inDigiNeous 5y ago
Bro, nobody cares what color scheme you use, if you're confident about how you feel about it. I toggle between dark and light myself in vscode, depending on how I feel, really like the dark and light versions of the Github theme myself

While working at now long-gone mobile game company Digital Chocolate, they developed their games using a pretty clever but also very complex process of writing the games in Java, then converting that Java to whatever the target mobile phone

Yeah I know that. But do the people looking for a professional photo editing program know that. I'm just saying if you want to make it big or attract developers, maybe naming your software Gimp is not the best thing either..

by inDigiNeous 5y ago
Nomen est Omen, with a name like GIMP what can you expect. I mean, the software name is literally slang for a disabled person. Why don't they start from changing the name I don't understand.. Open Source projects have these odd wa

At least they've managed to optimize and make the OS faster. Mojave feels faster on my 2014 MPB than previous installations did. Would wish they would focus on the apps and not revamping the system each time they do an update.

These probably have nothing to do with the speed of javascript as-is, but the whole stack of data and layout of a page that needs to be either loaded from some database and then computed how to layout in a reactive manner. Javascript is ver

Man, everytime I see this kind of toolkits I think about the pain the developers have to go through to implement proper text display and editing .. especially with unicode and multiple different languages and input styles.

Well thats true :)

Even with Electron ? They put a lot of thought into it like you should when designing any application for any platform. They also have a team of very competent senior developers who have previous experience with developing IDEs like Eclipse

by inDigiNeous 5y ago
Well in a way it was also much more simpler, you had in DOS days a direct interface to the video memory and you most probably understood more accurately how the whole operation worked. So developers could map the hardware in their head more

Epic MegaGames tried to recruit Future Crew, but they declined. I remember reading from somewhere that one of the coders from FC made a technically impressive pinball game in a weekend out of spite and showmanship and showed it to Tim Sween

Maybe you were playing on the PC speaker, the music on that was definitely lot worse. If you had a real soundcard though, the music was definitely up to par with Amiga or maybe even better quality, and most probably better if you were using

Curious about how blasting WiFi next to your head 8 hours a day affects your brain also, especially when dealing with high bandwidth streams like video all the time.

I've met similar thinking. In one company I was working for some time in a senior role, while being new there, I got scoffed for asking the non-senior developers of the team for information on some parts of how the software worked. May

I unfollow everyone, absolutely everyone on facebook. I do it systematically whenever somebody sends a friend request. This way I can decide whose posts I see, and not the algorithm. Ha, take that! Facebook even displays an error message in

I feel the same way after diving into the NVIM world a while ago. I put in the hours, spent like 10 hours trying to setup the environment to my liking, and ran into the same issues as you, autocomplete being a pain in the ass, having to fig

Had not heard of this. I've tried two different autocompletion systems Coc and YouCompleteMe on vim, and both failed to make it automatical enough. Maybe if I had the time to figure out this Bear thing I would, but seriously VSCode alr

Inspired by these cool looking setups, I spent many days trying to setup a modern NeoVim setup, but ultimately failing to produce a really usable experience. I feel these really tuned out Vim/NeoVim setups are the modern equivalent of

I remember seeing the box for Sound Blaster 2.0 at a friends house and just looking at it felt magical at the time. And those soap box speakers powered by batteries, you just can't replicate that sound on modern systems and their fancy

For me too this took years and years to learn. It's a hard lesson that seems can only be learned by walking the road and learning from working on a particular piece of software for a long time, at least that's what it took for me.

Nice to see such a high performance demo running on web technologies, gives me trust that we can finally do more complex and jitter-free graphics on web-applications. Thanks for sharing and creating this.

At least the Nintendo 64 had a GPU that you could control with microcode, maybe that could be called a GPGPU ?
