I disagree. There are still "true" indie games out there. Just the masses of games produced that call themselves "indie games" are not. Often it seems to be used as an excuse for an unpolished, boring and in the end shitty game.

You are right that it became a marketing game. It was a hype and everyone started to call its product an indie game. The solution however is not more marketing. It will automatically solve itself. Games made by passionate small dev teams that really love what they are doing will still produce indie success hits.

TBH I think in both your examples the problem is the word "stupid" and not the structure of the sentence. Also just deciding whether some statement is a personal attack on the usage of you vs it seems a bit shallow. I would wager that most people writing these comments don't even think much about the difference.

As others have written: always assume best intentions first and try to read the comments in the most favorable way.

Nice! Thanks! For years on HN and I didn't know that.

The collapse of civilization is happening since the dawn of civilization.

Jokes aside, I have heard both points made. Yours and the one from the parent poster.

I think it also allows longer tweets. Not sure what their character limit is.

Who is saying that you still can produce N goods? If you don't have enough workers (anymore).

Having the potential to grow (e.g. orders) doesn't mean you cannot shrink at the same time because you just cannot produce e.g.

I don't think this is about being a scapegoat.. the Greens always had on their agenda to shut down nuclear power completely. I think in the 70ies to 80ies and later there was a big movement that protested a lot against nuclear power (Atomkraft? Nein danke!).

And recently they pushed forward to close down the last 3 reactors even though we might have troubles with our energy supply in the near future.

I don't think so. Lack of workers means you cannot e.g. produce all the goods you want to produce. This will result in less goods being sold -> recession. So basically the lack of workers could be understood as a potential to grow but if you cannot satisfy the demand for workers it will have the opposite effect.

I am not an economist so it might be totally wrong but that is my understanding.

edit: fixed typos

I see. I read the PR you linked and have to partially agree. Yes the maintainer's reaction was rude and seemed much like an overreaction. However the original comment could also be seen as offensive and lecturing.

I don't want to defend phone-home mechanisms because I am personally not a fan but an update check really is different from surveillance. I in general agree with the comment that the feature should be opt-in but the argument was not presented in a good way.

I don't get this open reluctance of people that contribute a lot of time and work towards open source. Sounds a lot like entitlement to me.

I don't know anything about the drama you mention. I just know kitty is a fine terminal emulator I use all the time (also with tmux/byobu) and I am thankful the author created it. Calibre I also use from time to time and it works for my purpose. I am happy it exists and I can just shovel my ebooks onto my kindle.

It sounds like you used Calibre for years but still complain about it even though it's free..

Would also love to hear more. I have nvim-dap set up for Go and for C and it is an OK experience but I would not call it great. This is something on my Neovim todo list.. improving my debugging experience.

I would recommend this talk by the creator of Zig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv2I7qTux7g&t=3021s

He gives some examples of C vs Zig and what they tried to improve.

Oh i guess we all have these horror stories.. I was more hinting at the fact that it took several meetings to decide something obvious.

> After several meetings, it was decided that it wasn't the best idea to put critical code in an app's MouseMove event.

Prove that the story is real ;)

Usually a heightmap is x,y grid (2d array) with values between 0 and 255 which represent a grey scale value. Sometimes these values could also be -1 to 1 or 0 to 1 or something similar.

A bit late but here is a list of plugins I could not live without:

- tpope/vim-fugitive

- samoshkin/vim-mergetool

- folke/zen-mode.nvim

- kevinhwang91/rnvimr

- nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim

There might be more I am forgetting.. and maybe something like telescope is already part of Helix. I will check Helix again in a year ;)

I don't think you get my point. In the end it's simple. Helix misses many features I want and that exist in (N)Vim. To support all these features you need plugins because they cannot be all maintained by core and everyone wants different features anyways.

As long as there is no way to extend the editor for me or for anyone else (aside from contributing to core), I am not interested in adopting it when I have another option that already does all of these things I want.

So yes you need plugins but for that you first need a plugin system. If that takes a while I am totally fine with it. I am all for good software. But why should I currently choose it over nvim?

As far as I remember they stated that plugins won't be supported back when I tried it. No idea if that has changed.

Of course the plugins need to be written but my point is that they cannot be written at the time.

I understand and support the idea of Helix to be useful out of the box for many use cases. However for me the editor in its current form is not sufficient. As I already stated I use many (wonderful) plugins in Neovim. I could not justify going away from the status quo because it is pretty good. I have my setup configured so the ease to jump into is not really a valid argument for me and I suspect for many more Vim users.

When I tried Helix I was impressed by what I saw but had two problems with it:

1) I am used to Vim motions and Helix was just slightly different which was confusing.

2) No plugins. I have my Nvim heavily customized with many plugins and would not want to miss their functionality. This cannot all be provided by the core editor so I guess it won't be an option for me as long as they don't support user plugins.

If you are new to vim/nvim in general give https://www.lunarvim.org/ a try. Most things should just work / are easy to set up.

If you already have some experience and want to configure your own this is a great scaffold to build your own thing: https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide

I don't know how this is elsewhere but in Germany you cannot become an engineer without a degree. You can work somewhere in an engineering field but you are no engineer.

And BTW here computer scientists / programmers / developers are officially also not engineers.

It is also my experience that somewhere between 80k€ and 100k€ there is a magical barrier for 99% of all companies in Germany. Even if you are a senior. The only real chance to go above is a leading role. Of course there are some (but very few) exceptions.

Buying a Berliner in Germany can be very challenging if you travel a lot. There are so many words for it depending on the region. At least: "Berliner", "Krapfen", "Pfannkuchen", "Kräppel", "Küchli" and probably others I don't know..

If it really comes to all of that I doubt they can hide in their ranches.. and even if they can, what will they do there for months or years?

These ranches seem more like a symbol.. to show the people with less money: "See, I can go there and you cannot."

Seems like this was hugged to death by HN.

Thanks. I searched HN for the link and nothing turned up. Should have searched for the title I guess. But the good thing is there are always some who missed it.. including me.

"So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated."

I love that quote. Shows a common problem: devs, architects and managers designing platforms but never asking users how they want to use it. At least the end results indicate that.

Yep there are many more reasons than "typing fast" for using Vim. For me the main motivator to dive into Vim was to not use the mouse at all because it constantly gave me RSI. It worked great. I never again had RSI since I switched to Vim for all my coding.
