Jon Skeet? He’s my hero, but he hasn’t worked at MS for quite some time I believe.

C++++ because I see sharp.

I’m a literal wizard. I spend hours writing in an esoteric language known only by those who study it in order to bend the world to my will and make things happen as I wish it.

The structure of my magic spells determine what the outcomes will be, and things can get really strange if you mess up the syntax.

How is a web app any better than an electron app? Electron is just a wrapper for a web app.

I don’t have any skin in this game. I just wanted to point out that you went from “given how privacy invasive this particular entity is”

To

“… assuming… how little we know… could potentially”

That’s a pretty big leap from a bold and confident assertion that an entity is doing something all the way to saying that entity maybe could be doing something but we don’t know. It’s just a weird logical leap to me, and I felt compelled to mention it.

I think they meant how much code each of those contributors added to the repo. Like did 500 just add a single line? Did some of them simply fix a typo in a single string? That kinda thing.

OLED is a massive upgrade. Each pixel is its own backlight instead of having an array of leds. So you get actual black, because there is no light there. The contrast and color is amazing.

But OLED is the new plasma. They don’t have burn in anymore, but if you don’t have it in a very dark room, the glare will make you go insane.

When I am comparing branches or working on multiple tickets at a time, separating each instance of my IDEs, as well as Jira tickets and Confluence documents related to the specific projects into their own little sandbox. This way I can more easily remember which windows and browser tabs go with each project.

So if that’s actually just a guess, I’m impressed, and you must have some experience in thin-film lol.

LCD panels actually use a thin film of silicon (I think it’s silicon) over each pixel. And cheap panels using TN technology often have this issue and very poor viewing angles.

This looks interesting. I’d not heard of this before.

That is a bold ui design for someone saying how bad the web is nowadays.

Though it is a bit reminiscent of geocities so I guess it tracks with the idea that modern software is worse than old software.

I just wish finding all references didn’t take an entire minute to show me a single reference though. By the time it loads I don’t even remember why I care what’s referencing the function anymore.

I’ve got nothing to do with this comment thread at all, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate you going so far out of your way to help an internet stranger. Love to see it.

I’m not sure what you mean here. Godot is a game engine, and while I guess you can make ui’s with it, it would be a weird choice for anything other than a game.

As for vs code, I’d say the ide of choice would depend on what you’re writing. If you do wpf, visual studio or rider will be significantly better experience out of the box with the ui designer. I’m sure there’s a plugin for vs code, but a fully fledged ide would be a better choice.

Electron or flutter (with extensions for flutter) could be written in vs code fairly well, but I’d still argue an ide is always better than a text editor. But that’s all preference. Electron apps like vs code already use a lot of resources and adding all the extensions necessary to make it function similar to an ide just bogs it down more.

It is cel actually. It’s named after transparent paper that was used for animation forever ago, called celluloid.

I think “cel shading” is just 3d shaders that apply that style, though cel shading colloquially just references the style so I may be wrong on that part.

It is cel. It’s a specific shading process named after celluloid film that was briefly used for animation a lifetime ago. It’s pretty neat actually.

lol I did say if. Some of us still have QA!

Or a junior dev implemented it and somehow it passed code review. Then when it was tested by the dev on localhost, it ran great. Then when (if) it hit qa, it was ran on local servers and worked fine.

A lot of things slip through the cracks. That’s what hot fixes and patches are for. It happens.

And I get that. And I think businesses should be able to make profit. And I think CEOs should make a decent salary. But I don’t think insurance should be handled by companies not affiliated with the government.

The fact is that insurance companies are publicly traded companies. Publicly traded companies have an obligation to shareholders to maximize profit. Maximizing profit isn’t something we want for something as necessary as our health. An individuals health is not a commodity. I’m not saying they are evil personally, but I do think the system is designed to benefit the companies and not the people. Which is not how democracy should work.
