You've never run them in a terminal?
You can’t run VSCode or Atom in a terminal, so I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.
I'm not making that comparison.
GP's post was in response to the complaint that Emacs/Vim are hard to exit. They said that "Or, you know, you could just click on the File menu and click on Quit."
And I'm just saying you can't do that in the terminal.
Not sure what you're going on about.

> You've never run them in a terminal? When I run Emacs with a blank config, the default display has this: Get help C-h (Hold down CTRL and press h) Emacs manual C-h r Browse manuals C-h i Emacs tutorial C-h t Undo changes C-x u Buy manuals C-h RET Exit Emacs C-x C-c Activate menubar M-`
and in Vim, there is no such display.

Minification helps the parser too, try running VS Code from sources and you’ll notice startup is significantly slower.
huh I would think there is no measurable difference there. However I honestly have no idea how much time does JS parser spends on what exactly. Are longer variable names and less tabs that big of a deal? It’s all in memory anyway, no… the lexer or tokenizer or whatever (…I never finished my compiler course…) just goes through that
The product’s source maps are publicly available in a way the debugger understands and the original code is freely accessible so there’s no real downside.

I came across this video from 2020 that demonstrates a couple of ways it works on iOS: https://twitter.com/Kristy_Viers/status/1287189581926981634 You can turn on the various accessibility features and try them yourselves. While I was already aware of the 'voiceover' features, I was blown away by the braille keyboard and how quickly she could type with it. Blind people use TTS set at ridiculous speeds that make my 1.…
I commonly watch dev talks and walkthroughs on youtube at greater than 2x speed because the talkers make an effort to talk slowly for non native English speakers. Just pop open the console with F12, enter the following and hit enter: $('video').playbackRate = 2.5 Change `2.5` to whatever number you wish. Press up in the console to bring back your last command faster with the cursor at the end so you just delete the n…

speaking of VSCODE, i wonder if MS acquiring github has anything to do with sunsetting atom.
Not likely, GitHub is a separate business and makes their own decisions. MS also competes with GitHub also; Azure Repos are a thing, as is Azure DevOps and those are just two examples. MS has plenty of products that compete with each other. In some spaces this is a good strategy as you will capture more market share with two products than you will with one and you can avoid to an extent monopoly claims. GitHub Codesp…

Do you have any plans of open-sourcing the UI framework?
We do have plans. Stay tuned!

> One could imagine a world where strong standards have been established which would allow you to easily deploy lean native applications across a wide variety of platforms. Here is a unified binary format that can run on Linux, MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD too. They also boot from the BIOS. But it doesn't support GUIs (yet?). https://justine.lol/ape.html
That’s more of a hack than anything actually serious.
