When I return to a subject after spending some time on other topics, I had the same issue with such definitions.

Mostly GPU drivers

Projects like GNOME are increasingly using Rust.

My bad, I thought you are serious.

It's a puzzle. Nobody is going to put a URL amid your code. There is no harm in using // for comments.

Is one of the advisors, Raph Levien, the author of the old Libart library?

`as` the assembler is still available.

Great point!

Congratulation! Great work! I really like his PlutoVG, LunaSVG and PlutoSVG.

Haha I like this.

I have made some money by building Django apps in the past.

Who is the author?

First of all, they didn't say they are referring to the UI.

The main element in a web browser's UI is the web view where web pages get rendered. It may look the same 'rectangle' as it used to look 10 years ago. But the way chrome renders web pages and execute JavaScript have undergone a lot of changes over the years. Also they have added a lot of new standard and nonstandard HTML, CSS and JavaScript features. Then, there is WebGL 2.0, WebAssembly, WebGPU, etc.

What a joke project! Chromium has a over 35 million lines of code. These people applied a few patches on it, and then advertising it as if they have developed a new browser. The same goes for Comet also.

From their GitHub readme:

> but Chrome hasn't evolved much in 10 years

Really?? It is not true. You guys please go and check release notes and commits log for Chrome/Chromium project for the past 10 years.

In my opinion, a web based UI for something like an image editor is a bad idea. It will be slow and resource intensive.

The author doesn't give any arguments to support his claim.

What is happening is very scary. Many people don't seem to care about any evidence or sources. They blindly follow whatever lies that their leaders say. I think this has been the case at anytime in history. However, now, with the internet, it is easy to spread such lies to mass and easy for such leaders to make blind followers.

I don't think so.How can you be so sure it solves the 'unknown unknowns'?

AI generated tests are a bad idea.

How if it hallucinate and gives you wrong code and explanation? It is better to read documentations and tutorials first.

The programming interface that Hurd provide is similar to that of any modern operating system. So, it can run pretty much any program that runs on Linux or BSD, but you have to port it. Doom is no exception. If you cannot find a video of Doom running on Hurd on YouTube, it doesn't mean that Hurd can't run Doom.

Hurd is sure not a successful project, but it is a capable operating system. Linux comes with a lot of device drivers for all sorts of hardware, so Linux nowadays can run almost everywhere. But that is not the case with Hurd because only a small number of people are contributing to this project and it is largely eclipsed by success of Linux. But it is an extensible system so if you want support for a hardware, you can develop a driver for it. But nobody is interested.

If you haven't seen Hurd running a desktop, I will introduce you to Debian Hurd (https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/18i6e94/de...). It is a Debian distribution with Hurd as the kernel instead of Linux. It comes with Xorg and you can install XFCE, OpenBox. Basically, you can install any desktop that render on CPU. Desktops like GNOME and KDE need more infrastructure. They relay on modern GPUs and uses direct rendering. In Linux, we have DRI and Mesa for this. As of now, Hurd doesn't have any such infrastructure. As I have already said before, a lot of people are contributing to Linux and only a handful of people are contributing to Hurd.

> A few months work by one guy and already more capable than the Hurd

It is no way capable than Hurd. It is a cool project though. Have you used Hurd recently? It can run a modern desktop.

Fabrice is an amazing programmer, and does cool things. He is an inspiration to us all.

I disagree with you. According to your definition of best developer, is one with a skill for persuade manager enough for building complex we apps and services? A developer is hired to write code and they achieve business goals by writing code and building software. Writing code is the skill they have and that is why they are hired.

So cooool!

I was also asking exactly the same question.

Yes, Mate is indeed a decent desktop for people who like GNOME 2. But GTK people are removing features left and right. I don't know how Mate is going to cope with that.

Both GtkMenu and GtkMenuBar are gone in GTK 4. Now threre is GtkPopoverMenu and GtkPopoverMenuBar. The GtkPopoverMenu is not a drop-in replacement for GtkMenu.

https://discourse.gnome.org/t/using-gtkpopovermenu-as-a-gtkm...

The menubar widget is removed in GTK 4. There is GtkPopoverMenubar in GTK 4, but it is not equivalent of traditional menubar.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GTK/comments/xdfgjr/api_changes_in_...

Yes! Gnome 2 was great. I miss those days. The whole Gnome is a disappointment now. The GTK-4 doesn't even have the traditional menu and menubar widgets. I don't know what the Gimp people and the Inkscape people are going to do.
