If you wanted to develop a cross-platform native desktop / mobile app in one framework without bundling / using a web browser, only QT comes to mind, which is C++. I think there ar…

C++ does not have a function keyword at all, I wonder why did they add it in the first place.

I'm using typed IDs in TypeScript with template literal types. I.e. `type UserId = `user_${string}` I've written a blog post about it a while ago [1] One can argue that this pollut…

I think the bigger problem would be license key sharing. If there's no server involved, there's no way (?) to prevent the same license key from being shared freely on the Internet …

The same Europe that introduces Cyber Resilience Act? Good luck. Imagine how many businesses will not be created because no one wants to risk burdening themselves with obligatory b…

I remember that another comical argument was performance. Supposedly, having extensions run in the background all the time is bad. So it's better to constantly, completely re-initi…

If I ever have time for it, I would love to program a rotating LED display [0] Looks like magic. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIvihYPq_mQ

Is it possible for steam from boiling water to contain any impurities?

> No magic. There's plenty of magic. I think that Electron Forge does too many things, like trying to be the bundler. Is it possible to set up a custom build system / bundling with…

This is a sabotage so the next major release doesn't get any attention ;)

> Additionally, it eliminates the need to parse HTML, as every node state is represented in a Go-based virtual DOM, with only updates being pushed directly to the actual HTML nodes…

I don't think it's that at all. The motive is quite clear. It's right there in the article: > We’re excited to return to active contributions to WordPress core, Gutenberg, Playgrou…

> But there's also a large discrepancy between Chromium's budget (Google) and The Qt Company. Also The Qt Company tend to prioritize advancement in the embedded world (where it pro…

I am not sure if it's worth it though. As you have pointed out, QML is buggy. Chromium's rendering engine is probably the most stable and polished GUI toolkit there is, not to ment…

A country that was aligned ideologically with USSR is an understatement. They were under occupation as a satellite state. Those people did not sign up for communism in 1945 willing…

> Look, Automattic can change their license away from the GPL any time they wish. The new license will only apply to new code, though, and WP Engine, or anyone else, are eligible t…

It's a completely different thing. You are talking about civilisation constructs, parent is talking about things like mental fitness, abilities to perform tasks in real-time by you…

No, Rider is also a C++ IDE but it's focused on gamedev. Live++ is mostly meant for gamedev, it only works on Windows.

And it really does permeate it. I'm on Linux but I run it on an Intel Mac. It will be very hard to find a non-Mac replacement. I look at the laptops at the electronics store and si…

I for one started working on a new project in C++ rather than Rust. I think it's unclear whether Rust is going to be the successor at this point. It's probably never going to pick …

It's worth noting that they re-introduced their jobs platform https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/

From my experience it must be ChatGPT. I am getting much less upvotes for past answers since 2023. Even the reputation (t) curve visible on the profile reflects that, up to 2023 it…

I guess it also does not default to cloud saving over local.
