if there is a demand I'd expect something to come up Note that Uber/Lyft do something the taxi companies can not. They scale to meet demand. If 1000 drivers are needed between 6pm and 8pm then they'll likely get 1000 drivers.

And yet the WinAPI is not actually preformant for types of apps that an ImGUI excels at There's best case for Retained mode GUIs and best case for ImGUIs. ImGUIs excel when lots is changing. In a scrolling mobile app the entire page i

I disagree with your disagreement :) Electron (and nearly all retained mode GUIs) will execute 10x more code trying not to execute the rendering code. Just skipping all that checking and jumping to the rendering code is arguably a win in ma

I think you have it exactly backwards. Most ImGUI use cases are extremely complex UIs and that's where they excel. One of the most complex apps out there, Unity, is entirely ImGUI based for the app itself and often has 1000s of control

I have the same cringe. I think it comes from feeling inserted as a pretense to authority by writing style. Other examples I cringe at: The use of the word "titular", the phrase "abc cum def", ... For whatever reason the

Sounds like what you're doing is proving the NYTimes is part of the fake news problem. I wonder given your data above if the NYTimes could be sued for liable for reporting something easily provably false.

I'd argue an ImGUI does't mix anything. It's just a library. If you want MVC it's up to you to implement your MVC and use your ImGUI as a library. Retained mode GUIs don't magically make your code MVC and ImGUIs don

I think you're mis-understanding why Unity switched. They only switched their in game GUI system. The entire app of Unity itself uses an ImGUI system and it is massively more complex than any Game UI and runs just fine. The reasons the

I don't believe this is a proven. The amount of code being run to cache objects, create and destroy objects, try not to create and destroy objects, marshal data into and out of GUI objects, manage and respond to events, etc. is easily

What a rude comment. It's not a specialized term. It's a common term. Immediate mode GUI as a concept is well known. Tens of thousands of programmers use Immediate Mode GUIs. There are several well known Immediate Mode GUI librari

does that mean everything installs globallu by default. if there is one thing I love about npm it's that it's local by default and global is the exception.

what does late binding by you? That sounds like an argument for non-strictly typed languages. Isn't in the strict typing that prevents late binding? The compiler wants to know at compile time the types of all the messages and whether o

It won't work without a central authority. See Soundcloud as an example. People tag their music with whatever they think will get them traffic. So, in order to do this you'll need a mass of volunteers which will lead to politics &

It's a neat simulation and great for seeing traffic ripples. But, I'm finding putting a cone in a single lane blocks cars forever. That would never happen. The car at the cone would force their way into an unblocked lane.
