Yeah, I recently tried out Kitty and Ghostty just feels much smoother when rendering most TUIs and even some more basic stuff like the homebrew progress bar. It is also better about respecting platform conventions for things like keybinds and window/tab behavior.
yeah the third item on your list is what drove me here to complain. how do you expect me to read any text on your site when it moves up or down approx. an inch every second?
Even if it writes the same or even somewhat worse rust than python, assuming the output is the same you are likely to get a speedup + a better distribution story.
This is unfortunately exactly why I never used (neo)vim or kakoune (or tbh, sublime text whose lsp integration I have never successfully gotten working). Going from school (Java + NetBeans/C# + Visual Studio) to work (C#/JS + Visual Studio -> C#/TS Visual Studio Code) I had expectations for certain language features being available by default. Helix is the first editor of its ilk to get configuration out of my way so I can effectively write code the way I'm used to.
Why would that happen? Participating large businesses are completely fine with the existing practice. Sure, someone can bid on your trademark, but you can also bid on theirs and probably don't want to lose that ability.
The author is clearly not talking about left-pad like that library is still specifically an issue. He's raising it up as an example of a problem that is still occurring. He then makes the point that maybe we should have less packaged JS code in general and that more software solutions should exist (and should have always existed) as part of the standard library or well-maintained packages like Lodash (although he doesn't reference it by name, just the concept it exemplifies). It feels like you've missed the forest for the trees.
Someone else mentioned evil-helix if you really want those keybindings but, admittedly, I think the different keybindings (and more specifically the select then operate model) are a major point of why helix (and its inspiration, kakoune) exists.
I get the impression they are ripping it out because they don't want to sponsor the FOSS volunteer working on it or deal w/ maintaining it themselves. The tracking/advertising take doesn't hold much water for me as adding those things to the page is something developers and companies choose to do. You could just as easily inject a tracking script tag or pixel or whatever via XSLT during transformation if you wanted.
The government historically uses the the financial industry to police crimes and behavior that it does not want to or that it is not expedient to police directly. Clearly they like the outcomes of the payment networks' rules and enforcement decisions and see no need for things to change.
To be fair to Apple, as a user of Safari, I mostly agree with their feature omissions. Web developers have shown near limitless capacity for abusing new platform features and Apple has provided sound explanations for why they won't implement eg. web bluetooth. On the other hand as a web developer I have definitely suffered my fair share of Safari's incompatibilities (however I find myself in these situations less and less these days).
They don't need to. Android users can do the most important thing advertised here (RSVP) without the app or an iPhone. Also, hopefully the EU has better things to do than constantly force Apple to support Android users (for free!) at the same level of quality as their own customers.
You need to know your friends' addresses for mail. For both, you have to send out invites individually. People want to make a list of names and phone numbers and send out a blast. They then want a low-effort, centralized place to receive and manage RSVPs.
Just because you can't be comfortable in a used car with a fixer upper home doesn't mean other people can't be. You're talking about your preferences like they're a bare minimum and they're not. Plenty of people live perfectly comfortable lives without those luxuries.
My experience of them was that upper management set "Objectives" like "1% YoY Online Sales Growth" for your group or team or whatever and then each team in that group (again, or whatever) would come up with their own "Key Results" that they thought, if the result was achieved, would translate to that objective.
So for example, if you worked in online retail like I did, maybe you'd get an objective like that and then hypothesize a few things along the lines of "if we increase product image interactions by X% then sales should go up by Y%." as key results that you then report back out to management to show progress towards your objective.
From my experience there's a lot more wiggle room in those pay bands than you'd think. Along with that, at many orgs your EM has to haggle on your behalf with their boss and every other EM that shares their budget ~yearly for your share of a limited pool of incremental dollars. I've specifically requested not to be under certain EMs in the past for that reason.
It's a web browser built and controlled by an advertising giant in order to serve you monetized pages more quickly. For examples of why this is bad for the user, search FLoC and manifest V3, both of which they try to say are better for the user despite being objectively worse (the latter hobbles web ad blocker extensions and the former is a solution to "reasonable" web ads and user tracking).
Theoretically you have a point. On the other hand it’s so bad for recruiting. I view companies that do large layoffs the same way I view companies that do a lot of contract hiring. You clearly don’t care about employees and their wellbeing.
> A good example is that when it was proposed that one should be able to transfer their account number to another bank (as telecoms have to do for phone numbers here in Finland at least), the bank lobbyists said this is technically impossible, which is of course ridiculous.
This comparison doesn't make a ton of sense. Of course you can transfer your phone number - every phone number is mandated to be unique across all carriers. Bank account numbers are entirely internal to each bank and made up based on various arbitrary factors. What if the bank you want to move to already has an account with the same number as your account at your existing bank? How would that work?
It won't be any worse or better than existing federally administered systems. The government already oversees all the major existing bank-to-bank transfer systems mentioned in the press release. In the US banks charge different wire fees because they can as a competitive matter, but they all use FedWire to talk to each other. Just like they can impose arbitrary limits on ACH transfer size but they all use FedACH to handle the actual transfer. This one is just a faster, more secure version of the latter.
Eh, you should never let computers (including AI) make decisions or manage. You can't blame it or hold it accountable. You can't appeal to it or ask it why it did what it did.
i've been using textmate and bbedit since college for notes, essay drafts, as a scratch pad, my first programming editor... everything! i still use it as a scratch pad and for random text/code editing (especially big regex-based changes) almost every day. i finally felt like a big-boy programmer when i'd earned enough to justify upgrading to the paid version and i hope it lasts another 30 years so others can find as much use in it as i have.
