What are the trade-offs compared to QuickJS? I understand from the README that Sablejs is expected to be faster. Can code being executed inside it be preempted/paused in any way?
Isn't that a bet that your government won't devalue your currency fast enough?
Can the IDE run on other OSes besides Windows? You seem to be using WinForms.I tried building it and running through Wine, but it didn't work.
Congrats on the project, making an IDE is no easy task. I believe there's room for a game engine to offer what GameMaker 8.1 used to (near instant runs, extremely fast iteration time for 2D games).
I can't relate, I hear people complaining about American spyware online all the time in tech circles like HN.
I think it's the opposite. For the projects that warrant it (usually games), it has never been easier to create a custom embeddable scripting language. It was always somewhat common to have custom languages, specially if the game is open to mods and/or allows users to create custom maps, but now that's easier than ever to do.
That's completely unreadable.
Not yet, but hopefully in the next 3 years.
> Do you look at someone who does nothing hard in his life with indifference?
I look at such people with admiration. Being in peace with not trying to improve their own productivity all the time is a beautiful virtue.
> Someone chooses to spend their life playing video games in their parent's basement. Do you think that's an equally admirable life than someone that spends his life doing hard things?
I'd go further and say it's more admirable than someone spending their life doing hard things. If they reached their goals with less effort, I'm happy for them - that means more time and energy to spend on the pursue of happiness.
> I'm curious about this.
Why did that catch your attention, if you don't mind me asking?
That seems to check out with the period people started getting more addicted to social media, pandemic side-effects and increased awareness of mental health issues
I believe the amount of people dealing with crippling anxiety these days is higher than that 20% figure, and we are still under-diagnosing it
> Hard work is a good in it of itself.
Hard disagree tbh but that's more of a personal values discussion
For a project like this, isn't it worth introducing a TS type for Ints? Since they are trying to leverage TypeScript anyway...
>I was pretty excited for a world where we could just ask for things and let the models cook and not read the code and get beautiful production software
I feel so disconnected reading those things. Reading and writing code is what brings me joy. I'd never feel "bummed" or "stuck" with it.
Kernel-level spyware, and Wine/Proton are the non-starters?
I don't think you and the person you replied to will reach an agreement.
Advertising as it exists today is tied to the Internet.
> you will see why the publishing business runs on ads.
And I maintain that tying business interests with advertising inevitably results in a conflict of interest between people producing goods and services, and people consuming them.
>it's only in the last 30 years - when ads got a bad rap
It's only natural that ads started being viewed in a more negative way as their effects were amplified by tech.
> due to tech bros who don't didn't learn humanities
Name calling doesn't add much to this discussion. My background is in humanities anyway.
That really depends on where you live in the world. South Americans, Palestinians and Iranians would probably disagree with you.
Highly debatable, IMO. They're already a net negative for society on their own. We'd probably have a healthier Internet if ads didn't create incentives for social media companies to get their users addicted to serve them more ads.
The plan I got is called "Moderato", which somehow isn't any of those 8... I'll try to read more about it.
According to their web interface, I'm also on 23% of my weekly usage. That feels crazy, as I do a lot more than that on the 20 USD Cursor plan, and never got even a warning.
I thought OpenCode was doing something wrong, but you had the same issue with Kimi Code.
If there's nothing major at stake (say, trying to convincing someone with cancer to seek treatment instead of ignoring it), it's not worth your (or their) time.
You're not wrong, I assume. My problem is specifically with the remaining languages without anything like that. :')
The friction with the rest of the ecosystem is real, though. Most code out there expects you to handle errors with exceptions.
I get the impression that polymorphic return types could get in the way of JSC/V8/SpiderMonkey's JIT, but I haven't measured it and I'm not sure of the actual impact on hot and cold paths. Same for all the allocations caused by custom Option<T>/Result<T,E> implementations.
I think using Zod at the edge (with branded types and whatnot), while keeping return types as T/Promise<T> to keep a sane relationship with the ecosystem is a good middle ground.
This product is in bad taste, and I hope it doesn't succeed.
I tried booting various Illumos distros through USB sticks on two different AM5 computers, and it got stuck very early on. I assume due to some incompatibility with USB 3.0. Meanwhile, a friend of mine booted on a Thinkpad just fine from a DVD.
I still think the ideal solution for Desktop GUIs would be the Qt company developing first class Qt bindings for Node.js (or some other runtime), and allow people to build UIs using web tech with Qt components.
Assuming copyright gets dismantled is a good-faith way, Netflix/Amazon remaining as gatekeepers sounds unlikely, IMO. Free software clients like Popcorn Time provide a better experience and would be able to exist without threats from copyright trolls.
It's also much more robust regarding cultural preservation (as users and organizations can keep DRM-free local copies) and censorship (being torrent-based makes it much harder to delete a movie from existence).
Though, it probably wouldn't work if user code modified the Array prototype.
