Modern programming is. But look at assembly, which is what actual machines do. And you can write assembly with tons of gotos and not a single function in sight.

It seems to me that a large percentage of jobs exist just to exist, and that they use their continued existence to justify their continued existence. I wonder how much the world would keep spinning if 90% of people were laid off. Maybe we&#

To be fair, the Monaco team did an amazing thing. It's not clear to me just how much of VS Code's complexity is essential to its genius, but if anyone ever creates a slim version that does 90% of the work in 10% of the code, it wo

Yeah exactly, this is why I stopped liking DSLs about 15 years ago, shortly after using Ruby extensively (probably not a coincidence) and converting to Clojure, where there was a large movement away from macros despite it being lisp. They&#

Yeah those apps were my inspiration: use the native UI and share logic as a lib. I don't even have a Mac yet, so no point in shipping for that if I can't debug it. If sales are good, I'd be glad to buy a cheap macbook off eba

Funny enough, I came across WiX the other day when I was looking into windows installers like msix, nsis, etc. Eventually settled on self-contained exe (and it's only 1.4 mb, woo!) but seeing the name wix took me back, I vaguely rememb

I did something similar ones as a vs code extension for love2d which I called live2d, so that you could develop your game while it was running. It was incredibly fun, but incredibly hard to use, and nobody had any interest in it, so I aband

The readme just looks like it was written by AI, and the initial commit is the entire code. It just seems like AI was used at least somewhat. Just curious how much, if at all. I submitted a link to a project[0] with similar characteristics

Right but it comes after a long line of similar CSS frameworks with the same promise, starting with Bootstrap, and there were large movements about 10 years ago of whole orgs deserting those frameworks because of serious issues. Are you s

I forgot to ask, that day that the Go team did an AMA here: did AI have any influence or sway or advice etc in choosing Go over other solutions?

I've been writing CSS manually since it came out. The latest additions make it less difficult, like & and nesting, variables, etc. But overall, CSS is just really difficult to scale well properly. I should probably learn Tailwind

Someone requested clarification on another post, so here it is: It's a native Win32 app, with a window of 320x180 pixels, which scales upwards as you resize bigger. By itself the program does nothing except read and run a specific Lua

Note that you can also get TSX in native Node.js with minimal configuration[0]. This is accomplished via module hooks and TypeScript's own compiler (or bring your own compiler like swc). [0]: https://github.com/sdegut

Plain guess work, and excitement, and fads, and people profiting from being "the experts", and in general social noise that overcomplicates the simplicity of life.

I went from vim to emacs and used that for a few years, then moved to VS Code for the next 10 years or so. It's showing its age a bit lately, so I'm sure I'll try another one soon, which is why I looked at Helix. But I'm

My comment was after having learned and gotten very good at vim about 15 years ago and used it primarily (via neovim) for at least a while, probably a few years, before moving to emacs, and finally VS Code. I still use vim for quick edits o

I used vim for a few years about 15 years ago, yes. It's not that it's difficult for me, it's that it's unnatural for me. Different people's minds work differently.

It looks very interesting and I'd love to support it, but editors that must be modal are difficult for me to use, personally. Editors that are not modal can be made modal, but can modal editors be made non-modal?

Thanks, I'll be using this. What I don't understand is why assembly feels so hard to learn in the first place? I mean, isn't it just a simple language with a few function calls (instructions) and types (operand sizes) and fix
