Devagamster··on Tauri Mobile Alpha Release
This is obtuse. Native applications require multiple codebases. Electron doesn't. The value prop is there...
Devagamster··on Neovide – A GUI for Neovim written in Rust
want to contribute! I don't have a mac, so it makes it hard to test out such a feature, but we are very open to contributions :)
Devagamster··on Procedural Worlds from Simple Tiles
I disagree with this. Theres nothing about this system which requires the world to be infinite. As an example, check out https://www.badnorth.com/ which uses wave function collapse to generate the islands.

The worlds are carefully tuned and aspects of them are controlled, but the algorithm is the same and I do think this creates worlds or at least aspects of gameplay with great interest.

Devagamster··on GitHub Projects – Customizable, flexible tool for planning and tracking work
Thats a disappointing trend. I personally like github for project management explicitly because it offers more features and options (and they are continuing to improve it)
Devagamster··on Before buying a NYT subscription, here's what it'll take to cancel it
I'm in washington and it showed up for me too.
Devagamster··on How coronavirus spread from patient zero in Seattle
given his recent travel records and the genetic testing that linked his particular strain to subsequent patients, it's highly likely he was patient zero
Devagamster··on James Lovelock: 'I Would Not Waste My Fortune on Colonizing Mars'
I'm not sure Mars is the most effective way to make humanity better with your billions
Devagamster··on Show HN: Neovide, a No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust
I've only got a windows box, so its probably unlikely for me to be able to make a package for whatever distro you are using. Building should be very easy though and I would love some help working out any issues in building for any particular distro
Devagamster··on Show HN: Neovide, a No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust
Let me know how it goes if you do try it
Devagamster··on Show HN: Neovide, a No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust
An alternate solution that I am considering and will try if and when it becomes available is to create a new or even parameterized renderer. Druid-Shell is an up and coming option by Raph Levien and company. I've also considered pathfinder. There will be more options as time goes on and I would like to make the system modular enough to explore them.

I would need to build the equivalent of https://github.com/aclysma/skulpin for metal. This would be very difficult for me personally to do as I don't have easy access to a modern macos machine. The total amount of code is relatively low though
Devagamster··on Show HN: Neovide, a No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust
You have no idea how happy that makes me. I appreciate the kind words :)

That's interesting that you say that. To you is it the nifty-ness of it or the functionality? I'm considering new features now that the issue tidal wave has calmed down and trying to prioritize which ideas to tackle next.

I've been working on Neovide for a couple months, it supports ligatures, emoji, and a nifty smear animated cursor. Maybe some folks here would find it useful or interesting.

Technically it uses Vulkan and is based on Google's Skia rendering library. Further it uses HarfBuzz for shaping and Winit for window management.

Devagamster··on The new Microsoft Edge is out of preview
Not sure why you're angry about this...
Devagamster··on Vim 8.2
May I interest you in https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim which let's you use some of the most popular bits of vs code in neovim
Devagamster··on Moxie: Incremental Declarative UI in Rust
Some pushback: The syntax used in your example is WAY cleaner to my eyes than competing UI solutions in Rust today.
Devagamster··on Moxie: Incremental Declarative UI in Rust
Not a question so much as encouragement. I think a big unspoken benefit behind react and its ilk is the strong focus on concise readability. React hooks can be confusing to understand, but when used properly they are incredibly concise and readable. I think moxie is closest to doing this properly in rust, and as such I am watching it very closely. Awesome stuff.
Devagamster··on Moxie: Incremental Declarative UI in Rust
Not really. The assumption is that modifying the dom directly is the expensive part.
Devagamster··on Big Calculator: How Texas Instruments Monopolized Math Class
It really does help though. As an understandability tool it is invaluable and can enable students to explore and gain intuitive understanding of concepts much faster.
Devagamster··on Godot 3.2 beta 1
Fair enough, but saying the engine not having ads is a feature is not productive. If it's out of scope, it's out of scope, but that's not what you said
Devagamster··on Godot 3.2 beta 1
This isn't a helpful comment. Ads are a fact of the current game industry. It's a valid critique
Devagamster··on Atom 1.36
Until vscode and omnisharp support design time builds of msbuild projects, visual studio proper isn't going anywhere. Vscode cannot support anything beyond the happy path of csproj files which means I will always have to dip back into visual studio
Devagamster··on Z.lua – A new cd command that navigates faster by learning your habits
Does pazi work on windows? That's a big benefit I see in Z.lua: cross platform/shell support.
Devagamster··on John Carmack on Inlined Code (2014)
I am not sure the downvotes are from people who disagree with you. I think more likely they are from people who take issue with the way you said it. Just food for thought...

Devagamster··on Elon Musk teases Mars breakthroughs as Starship design radically changes [video]
Come now. Let's not draw people with broad strokes regardless of whether they are sports fans, religious people, or fans of Elon Musk. When you make harsh statements about groups that big you're the one that looks bad, not them and your point gets lost.

That is well and truly your opinion. I for one can't stand Mac OS but I won't go spouting that as fact for all users. Come on now...
