They did center everything correctly for decades, do you think it was a mistake? https://grumpy.website/938

You align by the space between cap-height and baseline. Always. It always looks good. Even for lowercase. You don’t need to think further. That’s it. That’s the solution

Or you can just ditch flex-direction... It’s not like it serves any great purpose

That’s what ChatGPT told me

That’s not true though. You don’t need different styles for text on different platfroms. They all work the same

Hi, author here. In case you really want to know: no, it’s custom-made and works exactly as intended. There are two main reasons: 1. Fun. Modern internet is boring, most blog posts are just black text on white background. Hard to remember w

Thank you! I think it’s the only way it makes sense

Clojure only uses earmuffs for dynamic vars

What do you mean by “actually worked”?
43.
by tonsky 3y ago
Well, it’s mentioned in a sense that “Reactive UIs never became mainstream” :( Would be interesting to understand why

It predates it by a few years https://github.com/tonsky/tonsky.github.io/commit/fd5e59a837...

That’s why most features in my plugin are optional: you choose what you need or like and ignore everything else

That’s because Humble UI have to work with JWM/Skija and I didn’t want to do conversion from Java Point to Clojure Point every time. I needed _base_ librariers to return Points/Rects that are already directly accessible from Cloju

by tonsky 5y ago
There are Skija and JWM which are pure Java (and I want them to stay that way, to be used from other JVM-based languages)

JWM (a window library that I plan to use) shows a fully initialized window in 600-700 ms on M1 mac for me. That’s without Clojure, but with JVM overhead https://github.com/humbleui/jwm

It should. I plan more traditional packaging (exe/app) too, but jar will probably be the first option before that

by tonsky 5y ago
I am pretty sure it can be worked around or even emulated in Clojure with minimal effort if needed

thank you!

Maybe Wikipedia article should be fixed then: > Recent versions of Qt use the native style APIs of the different platforms, on platforms that have a native widget set, to query metrics and draw most controls, and do not suffer from such

I find encapsulation more of a disadvantage than advantage. I want access to internals when I need to. Passing lambdas is not data-oriented, and it does not help to prevent tangled data dependencies

thank you!

I dunno, it takes around 3 seconds to finish launching on M1 mac. Sublime Text is ready under 0.5 seconds

Live reload gets you most of the way for UI programming, yes. REPL is the secret sauce for writing any time of program, not only UI. It lets you explore, play, test, inspect and break things very quickly and without losing context before yo

font metrics are fractional at most sizes. You can optimize font for one particular size, but for any other, there will be gaps
