The answer is no, and has been no for a while.

Oh damn, too late, I would've nominated Zeds Dead!

Congrats Rezz!

For an IDE.

I can configure VSCode as a full IDE for say C#/.Net development, and it performs pretty much just as well as VS which is written natively.

Ditto for configuring it as a Python IDE vs PyCharm, ditto for Java and Eclipse, ditto for basically everything else.

And I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree here: VIM / Neovim / any purely text based editor has never had anywhere near the same feature set as VS Code + it's extensions. They are more performant, run anywhere, and can be configured to be quite powerful, but they're still fundamentally hamstrung by using a typewriter's line by line interface rather than being able to easily draw arbitrary 2d or 3d graphics and use the power of CSS styling.

Like, just drawing out a list of items, and then being able to get more detail on one of those items, is fundamentally a pain in command line, requiring a list command and then an item detail command or a list verbose command, where is in a GUI you just list items and can then expand them or hover on them for more info.

My point is that there's no way forward without abruptly pruning several storylines. Thus, the story is basically impossible to finish in a satisfying way, and this is all we're gonna get from him.

I generally agree, but Dan and Dave fucked it up beyond all recognition. They were not the editor it needed.

I mean, that's entirely possible, based on the one account we have from the showrunner, it could be interpreted as the show runner is being greedy and George just wants art made right, or it could be read as George obsesses over these boring little details that no one else actually cares about and needs a better editor.

My point was just that either way, this is how it was always going to go after Dan and Dave ruined the original series by rushing it. They're lack of care and attention to detail may have been the final nail in the coffin for George ever letting people substantively edit him again, regardless of whether or not it would be beneficial.

Do you know how you make good web apps with good performance? You don't listen to people whining and bitching about a language, you go out and start coding something and find out where the actual issues are.

Javascript / Typescript is great. There are little annoyances here and there, like with literally every single language, but anyone who says it sucks overall is a quite frankly, a moron.

Our project focuses on advanced and experienced computer users. In contrast with the usual proprietary software world or many mainstream open source projects that focus more on average and non-technical end users, we think that experienced users are mostly ignored. This is particularly true for user interfaces, such as graphical environments on desktop computers, on mobile devices, and in so-called Web applications. We believe that the market of experienced users is growing continuously, with each user looking for more appropriate solutions for his/her work style.

Designing simple and elegant software is far more difficult than letting ad-hoc or over-ambitious features obscure the code over time. However one has to pay this price to achieve reliability and maintainability. Furthermore, minimalism results in reasonable and attainable goals. We strive to maintain minimalism and clarity to drive development to completion.

You now what all of this says? It says that they focus on building utilities that accomplish some small technical task and ignore their users' actual workflow needs. It's the equivalent of minimalist architects that make unlivable spaces because they're technically nice.

The full quote:

“I will simply say, I made every effort to include George in the adaptation process. I really did. Over years and years. And we really enjoyed a mutually fruitful, I thought, really strong collaboration for a long time. But at some point, as we got deeper down the road, he just became unwilling to acknowledge the practical issues at hand in a reasonable way. And I think as a showrunner, I have to keep my practical producer hat on and my creative writer, lover-of-the-material hat on at the same time.”

Quite frankly after what Dan and Dave to ruin Game of Thrones reputation, this honestly isn't surprising whatsoever.

They cut out a character to save money and air time, and George thinks that will make the plot fall apart later.

Regardless of who's right, he's probably not going to trust a showrunner who's trying to rush things given past trauma.

So it does quote someone who's quote you are going to ignore because you don't like it. Genius, absolutely genius.

No, I'm ignoring it because the author of the piece is trying to get engineering, manufacturing, and costing information about multiple different products from multiple different brands, based on an off hand comment made by a marketing person from one of them about one of their products.

Yes because the author is obligated to report this when writing the article by going undercover as a Chinese defector, working up from the factories, becoming CEO of China and then finally putting this information out to public. Who would have thought becoming an Android news reporter requires such sacrifice. No wonder no one wants to work in this field.

Maybe "Android News Reporter" isn't a job that attracts the best and brightest from journalism school.

It has information on THREE brands with three different technologies attempting to make a change, with information about multiple variables about why they think they can replace Corning. I didn't realise the author had to create a new Wikipedia before putting this out. Maybe he should've started a GoFundMe?

No, it has "information" that three brands are sometimes not using Gorilla Glass in some of their phones, it then has a marketing fluff quote from one of them.

Lmfao bro,

article CLEARLY states and in house glasses are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Gorilla Glass for some manufacturers.

no man, it does not. It quotes a single Chinese manufacturer's spokesperson who said that off hand about a single type of screen. It has no information on whether or not that's actually true for Honor, it has no information about whether or not that would be true if they produced their screens at the same scale as Corning or whether they expect production to get cheaper, and it doesn't mention anything about literally any of the other brands or any of the the other in-house screen technologies in use.

To be fair, in his 20 YEARS in parliament, his name has been attached to seven bills, one of which have passed, but that was one of Harper's omnibus bills that crammed a million different things into one, guaranteeing that he did not write it.

https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bills?parlsession=all&sponsor=25524&advancedview=true

His earliest ones were during Paul Martin's tenure, and his latest were during Trudeau's. A single one of his earliest bills seems halfway reasonable, but it's also hard to analyze without the context of what else was being introduced at the time. Otherwise, his bills have basically been what I would describe as jerk off motion partisan troll bullshit that had no actual hope of actually passing or influencing anyone.

He's not a person who's actually serious about improving the country in a meaningful way, he's a dipshit high school debate kid who got a job in government and has then spent 20 years doing nothing but whine about government.

Actively sticking a stick in your own spokes feels like more effort and agency than PP's ever experienced in his life.

I cannot fathom voting for someone who has been in government his LITERAL entire career, and has never once passed legislation. He is the epitome of an empty soundbite in vaguely human shaped form.

This is a nothing article with no real substantive information or answer to the question.

The answer is undoubtedly 1. cost, and/or 2. trade war.

1. As the article notes, Gorilla Glass is expensive, companies would rather not pay for it and use older versions in cheaper phones, quite frankly this is a plausible enough of a reason to not even bother writing the "article".

2. If the author had wanted to spend another minute thinking about it before posting, they might've realized that Corning is an American company, and Chinese smartphone makers might be hedging their bets and investing in in-house / in-country alternatives in case they get cut off by the petulant child of a country that is America.
