Yeah! That's pretty accurate, although it's not quite css/html. It also integrates some helpful libraries, like libuv for cpu intensive tasks and I'm currently working on adding networking/HTTP and builds for androi

Thanks for the question! The motivation came from building desktop applications and working with awesome but cumbersome GUI toolkits like Nuklear. I built a graphics backend-agnostic GUI library in CRuby called Hokusai, but Hokusai uses FFI

I think the distinction is pretty easy imo. HN is topic centered, Social Media is person-centered. Before MySpace there was a pretty big proliferation of forums and other topic centered discourse. The profile was such a minor part of tho

I'm not sure if you wrote this with AI, but could you provide examples? Knowledge is shaped by constraints which inform intention, it doesn't "drive it." "I want to fly, I intend to fly, I learn how to achieve this

I read the intersection as this: We shape the world through our choices, generally under the umbrella of deterministic systems. AI is non-deterministic, but instead amplifies the concerns by a few wealthy corporations / individuals. S

Thanks for raising this question. From the discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43938309 , it probably won't stay PPL for much longer. It just needs to be worked out.

This is a great question that I don't yet have an answer for. Ideally, there should be an automated way builtin to the gem that packages apps. Currently, I use a tool I wrote called Barista to package an an application with it's d

Thanks! _why is the person who really sparked my love and engagement with Ruby so this means a lot.

Thanks so much for the clarifying and thorough information. I will admit that my choice to use PPL is reactionary to the ecosystems of software development as they are now, which I'm not sure GPLv2 addresses. I personally don't r

by zero-st4rs 1y ago
Yeah, the main thing I understand about PPL is that it behaves like the GPL license, but has provisions for worker owned cooperatives or non-profits. 4.c. (Looking at the information again around this license, I suspect I may be incorrect

Thanks! I'm really interested to hear how it "plays" for people. Would love updates if you use it.

Pretty cool! I've heard a lot of good things about Qt.

Interesting, for sure. I don't know much about Ruby on android (the resulting application will absolutely need a ruby interpreter) but I thought Windows would be a no-op and I got it working there, so who knows? :)

Good question! Most of the development build fetches and compiles C dependencies. xmake happens to be really good at this, especially considering xmake-repo. Rake tasks don't have builtins for this iirc.

by zero-st4rs 1y ago
Great question. From what I understand of RubyMotion, it compiles directly to native, calling into Objective C APIs, and like DragonRuby the Ruby implementation is not MRI. Since Hokusai uses MRI, one can pull in from that ecosystem of gem

Yup! https://hokusai.skinnyjames.net has a guide with screenshots. The repo itself has more examples.

For layout that privileges text documents with arbitrary length, html is nice. For interactive interfaces, I think it's not very good. This page speaks to a different approach (I'm the author) https://skinnyjames.codeb
