As I said, nothing has changed. Instead of a coherent IDE, you have a lot of semi-broken pieces that don't work well together. And that's also why projects like this one are really helpful.

`neo-tree` is indeed close to what I'd love to see in a real text-mode IDE. I'm going to play around with it.

No, it's not, if you just forget what you were told.

I see, so nothing has actually changed within the last 20 years. A project tree is NOT a file list. It's a persistent panel that allows you to navigate within the project. It should also integrate with tools like recursive search (so i

Sigh. Long time ago, in mid-2000-s I tried to switch to Emacs or Vim from Visual Studio. I wanted to have a simple project file tree as a side panel and multiple editor tabs on the right. I spent a week toying with various elisp scripts, Vi

Yeah! I used it around 2003 to integrate a Java PDF parsing library into our C++ app. Its biggest downside was the use of Boehm GC that had some issues with large heaps.

Excelsior JET did that 25 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excelsior_JET It's a shame that Sun/Oracle never partnered with them to bring native apps. This could have saved Java on the desktop.

They probably mean that modern RN apps can now use a lot of native widgets. You can look at https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/ui/universal/ There's also a project to add a static JS com

by cyberax 6d ago
It's not. RN has always used native widgets (with a custom renderer) but the JS code itself is purely interpreted. They increased the interpreter performance by quite a bit, but JITs are impossible on iOS, so it can never be fast. We h

They absolutely are. Or they make things uncomfortably cramped, e.g.: https://www.apple.com/v/iphone-duo/a/images/overview/product... You can look at other examples of controls that are way too clos

It makes this area unusable if you want to show a page in a book reader, for example. Or a movie/video. I also like to spectate games on Twitch/Youtube, and corners are often used for important stats.

The rounded corners look ridiculous on this phone. They also cut off a non-trivial part of the displayed content now.

It did not solve Navier-Stokes. We still will need to use the bad old numeric methods to simulate the fluid behavior. But it did find a long-suspected smooth solution with a singularity.

Revenue is rarely taxed, usually only profit is. And it's easy to avoid it.

Yep. Look at 3rd Ave around Pine/Pike. > Sure, there are more homeless people than some other locations, but across the city they congregate near major bus lines and stops so it's no shock that they're near the major bus c

And to add a bit more context: there's a whole Glyphosate Griefing industry now that invents bullshit claims. Pretty much every time you see something like "glyphosate reacts with kidneys resulting in hard water staying around for

Yes, we are working with responsible VCs: endowments and large well-established companies in the field. It's as if the whole industry is suffering from a high fever. This is purely my personal vibe, perhaps others might chime in with t

It's not our first fundraise, and not our first startup. But something _is_ distinctly different this time. People are no longer willing to wait for years and are betting on nebulous claims in hopes of a huge payout. And I feel that th

Seattle and SF did the same. The streets are now horror shows. NYC is just an exception, because it has so much pre-concentrated urbanistic misery that adding a bit more is not noticeable.

I'm in a startup, and we are (somewhat lazily) trying to do Series A fundraising. We _are_ a company that has AI as a part of our app, but not an LLM company. The advice from our early investors was to basically overhype ourselves, tel
