jim_stark, to programmer_humor in Microsoft Edge could use a win

Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

jim_stark, to programming in Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE

True, I myself prefer VS Codium but how many people use it? And some site like Coursera have VSCode on the web and it can’t be changed to VSCodium.

I just hope it’s not yet another electron or DOM based editor

Unfortunately, yes.

jim_stark, to programming in Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE

I am not saying otherwise. But do we still have a say?

jim_stark, (edited ) to programming in Google Launches Project IDX, A web-based IDE

Aren’t we past that point?

VS Code is Electron based and it can even be deployed in the cloud. We are talking about one of the most popular IDEs.

jim_stark, to programming in What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?

Interesting take!

jim_stark, to programming in What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?

What about maintainability of large code bases? JS even with TS tacked isn’t so great or at least not as good as Rust.

jim_stark, to programming in What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?

My bad. I can’t find the actually video but there exits a startup that shutdown because Rust/WASM performance wasn’t any better on top of that it’s was harder to develop with Rust. But as my edit to my previous comment shows things got better for Rust. It’s no longer the case.

jim_stark, (edited ) to programming in What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?

IIRC a startup tried to exactly that… It’s wasn’t any faster and is actually harder to develop.

EDIT:

Sorry ignore these videos. I don’t remember which YouTube video it is. But more importantly Rust + WASM got really better than JS these days.

jim_stark, to webdev in Tybalt: a framework for writing web components

It’s working for me.

jim_stark, to linux in ChromeOS is splitting the browser from the OS, getting more Linux-y

Nobody:

Google: Software Morghulis

jim_stark, to linux in Knowledge Transferability in NixOS

There is no single place but:

A simpler way would be to keep an eye on the “Developer Category” in the forum.

jim_stark, to linux in Knowledge Transferability in NixOS

Nix is not transitioning for the last 20 years. The community recently had a lot of discussion lately and starting towards a better path. It’s moving at such a pace that even official wikis maybe be out of date.

Of course I cannot say if this change will fit your particular needs. As someone who tries new things but not always gets success I understand your frustration.

jim_stark, to linux in Knowledge Transferability in NixOS

You caught NixOS when it is “transitioning”. It WILL get simple in the future. And of course there is no ETA.

I didn’t but did you try GNU Guix? It’s supposed to be much more elegant.

jim_stark, to programming in Why I use the D programming language for scripting

Yeah, C# and Rust, in their own ways, pretty much covered what D lang set out to do.
