I just skim through and make sure everything makes sense. Especially naming and comments.

What do you think a self review is?

Damn, you’re right, it’s almost been a decade already. I honestly thought it was younger than that.

No, if you’re struggling to load 4.2 mb of text the issue is not electron.

Sure, it’s popular in one country, that doesn’t mske it mainstream. Fortnite or Minecraft are mainstream games. There’s no RTS that’s even close to the popularity of those games.

That’s not how this works, GPUs are fast because the kind of work they do is embarrassingly parallel and they have hundreds of cores. Loading a json file is not something that can be trivially parallelized. Also, zed use the gpu for rendering, not reading files.

Starcraft hasn’t been mainstream for over a decade.

How do you think modern games are made? Procedural generation is used all over the place to create materials and entire landscapes.

Elden Ring had great art direction, but I wouldn’t say it had great graphics.

Editor? Do you mean publisher?

If you couldn’t figure out what flutter is in 10 minutes that reflects poorly on you much more than anything else.

It’s weird that you are aware of this but still decided to prsent it as “hiring a dipshit to make a shitty java clone”. It pretty clearly says that Eich wasn’t the one that wanted to make it java-like.

That only works with c# though. What they are suggesting is compiling any arbitrary language to wasm and run that anywhere. Which is technically already possible with WASI and any of its supported runtime.

Yes a strict 80 character limit would be bad but that’s why modern formatters aren’t strict and default to 90-100.

I’ve pretty much never seen code that would have been more readable had the lines been longer than that.

My main argument is still that shorter lines are more readable. I just think it’s a bullshit argument to say that long lines are fine because large monitors exists. I don’t see how that makes me crazy.

How does it make code neater? All it does is add a ton of empty vertical space. It makes files arbitrarily longer at essentially no benefit.

How are browser not that already? What’s missing?

They are an open standard and used to make many thousands of apps.

I have a massive ultrawide and I still 100% believe in line limits. Long lines are harder to read in general but even with a limit of 100 I frequently have 3 files opened next to each other and I can’t read entire lines easily. Line limits just aren’t about the size of the monitor and I can’t believe people still say that.

That’s extremely subjective. I definitely don’t feel like flat keyboards are nicer. These days I use a split keyboard with an angle and I will never go back.

Out of curiosity what do you do to frequently end up with cmd? I don’t think I’ve touched it in many years at this point.

I’ve just been using scoop for many years and I haven’t felt the need to switch

I haven’t watched splattercat that much but I do like his channel to discover new stuff. What makes you say he’s not progressive? I don’t remember hum saying anything even close to political.
