For anyone who devs C++ on Windows because they still prefer visual studio over having to manage cmake on Linux, I've found meson to be a much friendlier build system and has really good integration with VSCode.
And if you're like me and hate bourne-like shells (sh, bash, zsh), powershell works on linux and mac and there's also nushell and fish, which have nicer syntax but I've had compatibility issues in the past
I just inspected it to see how they did the animations for those. Something in javascript is updating the img src attribute at 60fps, which is an absolutely insane way to code that IMO
Right, surely the icons could be SVGs, with the background orbs stored as a base64 PNG (or maybe a specular lighting filter?), with the foreground icons made to move via an updating displacement map?
Even if they didn't want to go that route, What I've seen google do in the past is render every frame to a texture atlas, and write a CSS animation which updates the background-position property at 60 frames a second, so at least you don't have to load 150 images at a time
If youre intent on writing everything on the frontend in javascript then you can just have a frontend app and use webapi MVC on the backend. Personally, in my personal projects, I find I iterate faster if I dont't write any javascript. Every page is just static HTML and any interaction is done via CSS (which you can do perfectly well in razor pages) or html forms. Managing page state is a huge time sink and IMO not worth it, but it's what pays the bills lol
Not really sure how I feel about it. It has some neat UI features (like CLI arguments in the toolbar) but I dislike the Windows 11 UI design and this is just... more of that. Plus it breaks existing themes
> In other words, if a search warrant would be required to enter a house, unless invited, why would this not apply to online data stored somewhere?
The government has long considered the 4th amendment to be a major hindrance. The only reason that they even seek a warrant to search your home or belongings is because the 4th amendment explicitly says
> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated
I don't know the legal justification for excluding things like email metadata, but I imagine it goes like this:
> Your emails are not in your house, on your person, or are papers or effects. They are numbers stored in someone else's computer, and we only need the consent of someone else to get that information, which they will provide because they don't want to get on our bad side.
But the realistic reasoning is: the 4th amendment is a pain in the ass to law enforcement and they'd much rather it was never written at all, so they will cast whatever legal incantations are required to put a wall between your rights and your data
I don't mind doing some of these tasks but if I could go my entire life without speaking to another customer, or even their engineering team, I would die happy
