pretty much. are there open source alternatives to its UI module?
enbugger··on Ardour 8.0
I really like the UI in the sound production software. It's neat, has good colors and keep being eye candy even given the number of controls and information it provides. Is it some sort of standardized style guide for this kind of UI or everyone just takes inspiration by some industry leader products?

enbugger··on Emacs 29.1
First I thought that emacs/vim are about productivity. You invest some time to learn its concepts and train muscle memory. In the end of it turned out that you have to forget about spending weekends away from your PC. Not much time was actually saved. My conclusion from all this: this is just another way of doing things with no huge benefits but with bigger portion of loses (at least because this is not mainstream).

I think it might play well together with Raylib. Consider creating bindings [0] for this library.

enbugger··on Show HN: Hacker News user experience enhancement browser extension
Good idea. Though I can't understand the choice of Serif font (Ubuntu Chrome). Also the dark theme makes the page look like uniform stream of text. I think it lacks some accent color here.

>or you need to create a full blown plugin yourself, which is not a small task

That is what I thought when was motivating myself to continue diving into vim and emacs. In the end it turned out that the this this problem of "difficult extensibility" exists only in my head but not in VSCode or IntelliJ IDEA. Eventually, you can do magic on your files with sed/python/any other language in terminal and this most likely is better solution because it is editor-agnostic and good for automation.

enbugger··on Chrome ships WebGPU
Because it is too different from other C-like DSLs GLSL, HLSL. GLSL was doing its job perfectly and there was no reason to invent another one. With wgpu, I now need to spend time on searching through its reference pages for things that I already know how to do in shaders. Now all countless WebGL tutorials need to be migrated to completely new syntax. This could be much easier by just making a superset of GLSL. And I had't got any sane answer on "why it should look like Rust?"
enbugger··on Show HN: Open AI is not Open – A browser extension
I don't get it. Why would you use this extension when you already know that OpenAI is not OSS organization? Those who learn that fact in the Readme won't use it either. Looks like some weird form of butthurt.
enbugger··on Moviemaking and gamemaking are converging
Overall, game development feels much better when it is a hobby unlike a full-time job. You can experiment, without deadlines, but no money back on the other hand.

You can still prefer using bookmarks for something long-term, but utilize Bookmarks bar for a quicker access.

enbugger··on RG3D (Rust game engine) feature highlights
>Q: Does rg3d use ECS?

>A: No. It uses generational pools (arenas) which are optimized for efficient memory management to retain more static type safety.

So do you plan to support it anyways?

enbugger··on Manim: An animation engine for explanatory math videos
I see that the 3D animations in 3Brown1Blue's videos have lower framerate than the ones in 2D. Does it take so long to render 3D so that you'll have to lower the FPS to speed up the process or is it just another tool?
enbugger··on Component Graph System (2017)
>Performance-wise, some overhead may come from reference-counting the components

Well, that's what ECS gets rid of and mainly benefits from that. Doesn't returning it back mean going back to OOP? What's the point then?
