Sting reportedly got $300 mil back in 2022

Font is atrocious.

Uppercase letters have different stroke width than lowercase ones — it’s like they are *B*old *L*ike this.

Not only that: tracking, kerning is basically non-existent.

Please don’t use that open-source font

You need real paid Bembo, not that piece of shit.


Layout is fine but font is atrocious.

Are you on Windows? I patched the original tufte fonts to fix these crazy kerning issues, but i have indeed noticed them.

Chinese fabs will alleviate some of the pressure

It is still ram, not some magic thing

Still LPDDR


Natural language is too vague, ambiguous, and inefficient.

That’s why we have _programming_ languages.

And once you specify everything you need, the “prompt” becomes a program.

Anything else is to lossy


If only there were great backend languages

Go, C#, what have you.

Nah, thank god we have javascript


Anders Hejlsberg, who designed C#, is now leading Typescript development. Why would I not join him at the frontiers of his creative and intellectual energies?

Go is a nice language, but it's not expressive the way typescript can be. I'm not convinced, either, that coroutines are all that snazzy an abstraction at the application level.


Kotlin and Scala too if you want the same type of strong type system as TypeScript

No type system is as strong as TypeScript — certainly not Kotlin.

Give Scala a try :)

Lipstick on Java with vendor lock in or another lipstick on Java made by and for academics, tough choice.

coded in scala for over a decade. i am glad i dont have to use it anymore. maybe i am just too stupid for it, never understood the point of all that.

They hate us cause they ain’t us :)

ADK comes in Go, Java, Python, and TS

Same framework, multiple languages, let people decide their preference while having consistency and interoperability


You're welcome to port anything over to those languages. LLMs can do it in a couple of days at most.

Tell me next time Codex app would be rewritten to native stack scross all platforms: swiftui, winui, etc.

Should be easy, yeah?


Not mentioning Java means we are already on the same wavelength.

I love C# too.


One is stuck in 80s and another doesn’t even have official open source debugger, are you serious?

C# is still getting yearly updates and is a joy to work with really.

This one was deleted from wiki :-)

Like god frobid you will know about McCain, Nuland and what have you changing the Kiev regime in 2013 despite literal photos. Imagine the shitstorm if Russian state department officials were giving out food to guys that were attacking Capitol in 2021

There's literally a whole block about this on the main page:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%95%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC...


Compare the content and the sheer volume

The thing you are referencing says US reconsidered the support in the end of 2023 yet here is a happy photo of McCane from the deleted article from december 2023:

Looks like the it was removed because it was mostly opinion-based and didn't reflect the "engagement" word in the title:

Did that article also mention how Nuland gave cookies to the riot police on Maidan square?

https://archivist.substack.com/p/in-kyiv-nuland-handed-cooki...


Yes. It also mentions quite a lot of other things

> I don't like the idea of it taking up menu bar space

You know you can close it? :-)


I will 100% ADHD it left open and it will sit there making it more cluttered than it needs to be

Could anyone tell me what’s the point of this when you have neovim?

This will never be an IDE like Jetbrains Rider if you use a language like C# where those guys excel at: sheer volume of refactorings, static and dynamic analysis, cpu and memory analysis, what have you.

And for a scratchpad: is this really better than neovim?


I had a similar reaction. It seems that people don't know what they're missing by working on mature well established languages and platforms with all the benefits you listed. I read comments by people lamenting platforms like Delphi with a proper integrated environment - Java and C# seem to be the follow up today, but some people like to diss them without realizing what they're missing.

Well, if one isn't a vim fan, then neovim isn't going to be a good option.

Agreed on the language IDE points.

As for scratchpad: I’ve actually been going back and forth between Zed and neovim. Imo Zed is a good graphical editor with sane defaults and preconfigured tools (and excellent vim emulation). It will never beat neovim's configurability but it’s a smooth experience ootb.

Nowadays I just use both but default to Zed because it can be used both for Windows (for work, don’t @ me) and WSL. Neovim for quick file edits outside my main workspace, editing change descriptions, etc. - $EDITOR stuff.

I could probably get away with plain vim as $EDITOR, but throwing away a perfectly valid neovim config seems silly.


Wait… Neovim also works on windows no?
