Does it work properly on Mac yet? Or does that depend on GTK4?

Oo neat that they have an Android app. Unfortunately it seems like it must target a quite old API version - Android gives you an unnecessarily scary warning when you install it, and also it crashes when I try to browse anywhere.

Still, great progress!

Also, off topic but does anyone know why the comment vote counts disappeared?

Edit: Never mind they just moved the vote counts away from the vote buttons... They're now at the top. Weird decision to make it less intuitive... but ok.

That's a lot easily than learning the C to the same level and they "force" everyone to learn C.

Would you rather build from wood or tissue paper?

What glue is better: 2 part epoxy or pritt stick?

Do you prefer soap or ash as a cleaning agent?

True but it'll have to be like 10% and I don't see that happening ever really. Unless Microsoft really screws up, which to be fair they are doing their best.

Ohhhhh you can't comment on a specific line of a commit message. I see. I mean... yeah I guess not. That seems like a super niche feature though. How long are your commit messages? I've never even tried to do that. Commit messages are short enough you can pretty much just write a normal message not tied to a specific line.

There are waaaaay bigger issues with Gitlab. Here's one I ran into recently, you can't search for pipelines. It's got a search box and everything but you literally can't search; only filter. So stupid.

I actually just went to take a look at Gitlab issues I have commented on to see what my worst ones are. Guess what.... you can't even search for issues you have commented on!!!

Still, overall it's the best self-hostable option out there at the moment IMO. I guess Forgejo (truly abysmal name) may overtake it at some point.

I think it will take much longer than that. There is so much legacy C++ code. Maybe 10-15 years.

This should work out of the box!

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago

How do you expect the system to know what program is important to you and which isn’t?

Hmm

The windows solution is to switch tasks very often and to do a lot of accounting to ensure fair distribution.

Sounds like you have a good idea already!

Haven't tried Mojo yet but I have tried Julia and it kinda sucked balls. Sorry Julia fans, but it did. My main complaints:

  • It's a research language like MATLAB, so the emphasis is on repl's, trying things out etc. But the compilation model is like C++. When you import a package it spends like 2 minutes compiling it. I think it's supposed to cache it but the second time it was still like 10 seconds for me just to import a package. I believe they've improved this since I used it but still, huge red flag.
  • 1-based indexing. Come on guys. Anyone using this is smart enough to learn 0-based indexing. It's like putting a steering wheel in a jet fighter because you worry about pilots getting confused by a joystick. Again, red flag.
  • The plotting libraries (a core feature for this sort of language) kind of sucks. In fairness nothing comes close to MATLAB on this front. I ended up paying for MATLAB because of that.

There's also this article which has more reasons.

I am leaving it a while longer before I try Mojo.

It also does exhaustiveness checking for enums! Pyright is probably the best thing about Python.

The experience was awful.

I did not use it.

Hmm. You sure have a strong hatred of a thing you never used, about which your main objection (no HTML explorer) is completely untrue.

I don't think anyone would say you need GraphQL for a tiny 10-20 endpoint project. It's for big projects.
