I'm another person who read your comment who doesn't like Electron/web dev and, while reading your comment, I thought "does this guy even know what he's talking about?".

So as someone aligned closer to your team (preferring other toolkits to Electron) I don't think the other user who replied to your comment previously was being malicious in interpretation.

I have never encountered an Electron app that can even display the results of keystrokes in a timely manner, and that includes vscode. All Electron apps waste system resources to an obscene degree. Also, Electron apps have already thrown away OS conventions to the point that user interface consistency has become a thing of the past. I don't believe that either choice is ideal, but if Godot were ubiquitous instead of…

Something is very wrong with your system configuration if VS Code has issues showing keystrokes in realtime. It's not a VS Code or electron problem.

I have the same not-a-VS-Code-or-electron problem.

The Godot IDE itself is a "game" as in it is entirely built using Godot APIs. Makes me wonder if it would actually be a good environment to build portable business apps, sort of like a modern Visual Basic.

It would have all the issues of Flutter (non-native widgets, accessibility, etc) without the focus on these specific kinds of use cases.

Only nerds care about non-native widgets.

So did you think i actually meant that Javascript compiles down into typescript?

I'm sorry but that comment alone makes me think malice. It's too obvious. To each their own.

I remember when Notch was playing with this space game with a slimed down assembly language he created. He stopped working on it unfortunately, but I still think there's a whole potential genre of hacking on a game. Not a "press F" to hack, but a legit log into this system, get/change whatever. Having a legit in-game OS seems like a good step forward.

VSCode is super laggy even on a $4000 MBP. Compared to something like IntelliJ sure, but that's a super low bar on responsiveness.

I keep seeing this complaint but I have never reproduced it locally. VSCode runs at a buttery smooth 120hz on my MBP. What are you doing that causes such poor performance?

It's extensions. Some of them can drag a machine to its knees, with unbounded CPU usage. The worst is the C++ extensions. Gets stuck at 100% CPU if you open a file it doesn't like, which is most of them.

VSCode with no extensions is very fast and light. VSCode with 30 extensions you've accumulated? Not so much.

I think that's why you see such conflicting experiences - people have different extensions.

I would love a write up on design philosiphy. I'm currently learning Godot coming from web dev, and finding the distributed business logic impossible to organize. I just don't know who, what, or where business logic should be. My urge is to lift logic up to the parent of any group of interactions, and let nodes just be renderers. But I understand that is absolutely not the design philosiphy of Godot, and probably won…

Coming from web dev to Godot was a bit wonky for me and digging into some Godot dev patterns on YouTube and elsewhere went a long way to help me wrap my head around the question of like… “where does this logic/state/etc live and how do I access/use it where I need it?”

Nice landing page. Tip: make the speed comparison an agonizing animation, like esbuild's: https://esbuild.github.io/ Edit: Tip 2: the screenplay looks nothing like a screenplay

Haha that's funny. I'll consider that. > Tip 2: the screenplay looks nothing like a screenplay Is it because the lack of middle alignment? I was thinking about that. At the end of the day it's all plaintext/markdown underneath, so I need to come up with the right syntax for that.

You can use Fountain

Yes, I did and I was confused (hence my thought it was someone focusing on things other than web dev that made the comment).

It's not like I'm attributing ill intent now that you've clarified what you meant (I mentioned having the same anti-Electron inclination as you to demonstrate that) but I probably can't change your mind if you think two people's misinterpretation of the same comment came from malice.

Related: Grey Hack is a fake OS, Network, Internet in a multiplayer game where the objective is to hack (including each other). It simulates many basic functions quite well (you can steal files, place files on other computers, install software, run commands from a command line, including imitations of many tools). You can also write your own programs.

When will someone go all in and release a hack game with hundreds of emulated real little servers of various operating systems and vulnerabilities?

Some time ago, I found a site that provided different variants of VMs you could download which contained exploits you could utilize to pwn the machines. There were also walkthroughs and guides available to teach you how to break in.

Unfortunately I can no longer find the site, and my Google fu has failed me.

Unlike Hack the Box, no signup was necessary, you could just download the VM and get started.

Does anyone here know of any good alternatives they'd like to recommend?
