@piecritic Breaking up one program into actually independent modules with their own crate graphs, makes it easier to work on parts in isolation because faster compile and link times. Also faster deploys because more container layers reuse across upgrades.

@piecritic Cause my website had 900 deps? Even with a fast linker and code gen backend, iteration times were painfully slow?

@PaulDavisTheFirst I mean, regardless of what I say you’re gonna have to use it to find out

@PaulDavisTheFirst Oh, I thought you were replying to another post, sorry.

Here is some reading: https://behdad.org/text2024/
Fonts are the holy grail of untrusted user input, they have bytecode, they’re very present in vulnerabilities. Using a memory safe language to manipulate them is a necessity

@filmroellchen Meant to type birdsite, brain fart

fasterthanlime OP , vor 3 Tagen

@omni true, but it's a problem I encounter a lot on fedi.

birdsite has the opposite problem (enthusiastic crypto/ai bros)

@zperk13 I'm completely burned out on the vim/neovim plugin ecosystem / config maintenance burden. Even with a distribution. Everyone is spending hours, days, getting the most basic shit working. It's aggravating. Standardization helps here, imho — Zed just applies good design, the core parts are actual built-ins, it's.. good.

edit: even the Vim mode is core, and good. And they're actively maintaining it — just fixed today, my weird keymap shit: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/14233

@aral I don’t believe in promises from private companies, but I do believe in open source licenses.

They could close up shop tomorrow and they still would’ve completely changed the game UI-wise

fasterthanlime OP , vor 3 Tagen

@aral Being a huge downer and lamenting catastrophes that haven't even happened yet, pretending the world is nothing but awful, always has been, always will be, does not make someone wise or virtuous.

I'm done with this mindset. I'm going to appreciate the little things. It's a matter of survival. If I end up blocking you or people with similar viewpoints, it's not because I don't share your concerns — it's because I don't need the constant fucking reminder.

@photex the perf difference from sublime is probably less dramatic. Idk how good the LSP integrations are with sublime!

@kellogh Exactly, it’s so sad to stop at the AI bit!

@shadowfacts happy to report the file tree is no longer monospaced

@ilmai I agree about WSL although I remember the performance of it being kind of surprisingly bad on back when I was on windows? and I ended up doing remote SSH even to WSL

but yes, I agree and I also imagine that once they get remote working well, there’s not much standing in the way of WSL remote

fasterthanlime OP , vor 2 Tagen

@ilmai Now that I think about it, the problems were mostly related to the terminal emulator or rather shell sessions. It might’ve just been a weird interaction. Worked great with SSH, but not with WSL.

As for performance, I think these codes performance problems go deeper than just the web view — the proliferation of plug-ins and hooks definitely contributes to a subpar experience

@gsuberland try it anyway. you can absolutely ignore the Assistant part — until you paste an API key, it's inactive — literally just one icon you can hide in the config.

@cdmistman @gsuberland Please don’t insult one of my mutuals, we can disagree without calling each other names!

also, can we talk about the gall of an interpreted, dynamically-typed language throwing a "TypeError" at me? a type error, really?

@__head__ now where did you get that impression?

@tuvok @nicolas17 I am very familiar with Rust, and was researching C++ move semantics, so that I could compare them in an upcoming article. I wanted to credit C++ for doing some of it, but it turns out it’s doing none of it!

fasterthanlime OP , vor einem Tag

@tuvok @nicolas17 I’m not trying to change C++. I was just making sure that it is exactly as bad as I discovered it is! Thanks for your input though.

fasterthanlime OP , vor 3 Tagen

@shooboo they do, but you can always do Cmd+Shift+. to show them temporarily, or just Cmd+Shift+G to go to the thing directly if you know its path

@aidenfoxivey It has gotten even better lately. Enjoy!
