>Don't you want room for other things in your shed?

To be fair, it's vacuum so it doesn't occupy space.


But space is entirely occupied by vacuum.


Text is small.


It's like they saw WP plugins that auto-translate articles for SEO spam and thought that was a great idea.


I didn't have "I generated myself as the chad and you as the soyjak" turning out to be a valid psyop strat in my AI tech doomerism bingo.


I wonder what recipients would think if I sent this sentence 10 years back via time machine.


The basic framing of the sentence works fine if you know what those terms are. And while "soyjak" is a bit newer, "chad", "soy boy" and "wojak" were well established at that point, so I think it would be easy enough to figure out.


Send it back a century and it’d even be “what’s a bingo card?”


No, we rename Javascript to Typelessscript.


.Net compiles to it's IL and who writes raw JavaScript these days anyway, so just call it JSIL.


Typescript--


In the English language, they call it "red"

In the programming language, we call it "f00"

4096 words for colors!


f00 is 3840


f00 is red, 1000h is the number of colors


One difference that Zig has is that it doesn't have multiline comments or multiline strings, meaning that the parser can parse any line correctly without context. I assume this makes parallelization trivial.

There is ino operator overloading like C, so A + B can only mean one thing.

You can't redeclare a variable, so foo can only map to one thing.

The list goes on.

Basically it was designed to compile faster, and that means many issues on Github have been getting rejected in order to keep it that way. It's full of compromises.


If you can't be proud about a programming language you made what is even the point?


LLM's next breakthrough will be removing 30% of the code of a codebase.


I'm struggling to imagine why would anyone ever want to do that. It's not even an edge case at this point, it's over the edge.


I have two monitors, but only one of them is 4k and a couple cm bigger, and I dont like to buy stuff unless I really need. It is good enough for me. But this case also comes up on the edge of my laptop when I have the 4k plugged in at the same time. In the days of eclipse I'd keep the code editor top half on monitor, and the console output on the laptop, worked quite nice.


That sounds like you just want to detach the console window, to be honest.


It happens. You might push a window aside so that it's partially on a second screen and still see activity on the second screen. It should be the expected behavior.


I'm not saying it doesn't happen. Of course it will happen. I'm just saying it isn't something that needs to be handled perfectly, specially when handling it perfectly requires immense design changes at a fundamental level.

Why can't you just display a blurry rectangle until the mouse cursor goes to the other screen and then you switch the primary resolution from one screen to the other?

I feel like trying to be extremely clever to handle this particular problem would lead to a solution that handles far more common situations much worse for everybody...

In that case, the approach taken in macOS is nicer - it just hides the half of the window where the pointer wasn't when the window was dragged. While dragging it does a resample of the bitmap to the screen where that part is shown.
