They do not threaten to ban Meta. Just the opposite. Meta threats to quit Europa (That is just words actually). Meta could work without moving data to the USA.


"Meta could work without moving data to the USA"

They say they cannot - so current legislation is threat of a ban. And the imaginary poll would probably give very different results, depending on the wording:

"Should a exception for meta be made?"

vs.

"Should meta be banned fron operating in europe, for not following regulations"

People do not like exceptions for big companies, but they also do not like extra work and they usually do not like regulations from the EU, either


I looked at the script language, SeExpr. Look like PHP with math functions. Is this really better than what we have in HTML Canvas?


It's completely unrelated? SeExpr is a language for generating pixels in interesting ways, originating with Disney. Generic scripting is provided through Python, but SeExpr is fun for fill/generator layers.


SeExpr is great and used a lot in animation / shader development in things like Renderman from Pixar, it was great to see it in Krita https://wdas.github.io/SeExpr/


For reference, SeExpr is only used for a certain amount of scripting (usually around pattern generations etc). It's an industry standard in visual effects and animation workflows and was created by Disney; http://wdas.github.io/SeExpr/

It is not used for general purpose scripting, for which Krita allows you to write Python scripts instead.


That do not answer my question. Is SeExpr + Python better than Canvas + JavaScript. If yes, then how?


Yes because they are what’s used in CG artwork pipelines. If you are scripting Blender, Houdini, Substance and so on you are using Python not JS.


Add Python, Dart, Julia, Eiffel, Pascal...


Add ABC, B, C, D, C++, F#, C#, ...


I tried the software and then when I opened an app the screen became full of windows. Never seen that before. I have to stop the computer. So I desinstalled it. That seem a good reason to not use it to me.


The alternative would have been not using Java at all. That would have made attracting programmers more difficult at the beginning of the Android platform, but then, Java would have disappeared on mobiles, at least. I do not discuss why Oracle thinks is entitled to have of big chunk of the revenues of Android and the work of Google.

You do not even take the time to look at a dictionary. Prolific means producing a lot. No mention of quality.


If consistency if so important, why do we have: function, func, fun, fn, def, etc... depending the author? For clarity, use "function", for simplicity use "fn", other forms are just fancy.

Tried to make an app. That requires yarn. Yarn stopped because I have Node.js version 12 and version 10 is expected!!! Are they serious?



Haha! Didn't expect that. v1.0 software that has a very straight forward bug. I'm curious if they did any tiny bit correct.


Citation: "Unfortunately, Microsoft prohibits non-Visual Studio products from installing any binaries downloaded from their marketplace". Etc...


If that were the case, then coc.nvim [0] wouldn't work quite the way it does. I run VSCode extensions in NeoVim all the time now.

Did I read/you write that correctly? "VSCode extensions in NeoVim"? (Going to be honest, haven't used either since I'm on "plain" vim right now)


CoC works just fine in Vim 8+. I just started using it recently, it is fantastic! Highly recommend.
