I haven't used the app yet, but from the screenshots it appears to follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines [1].

You may disagree with said guidelines, of course, but the author can't reasonably be criticised for following the platform standards.

Try it please. This feels alright on GNOME in terms of visual density.

The rest is subjective. But Adwaita / Gnome is what's on my machine, so I follow their design principles.

General Musk lol, are we still falling for this propaganda?

He is a front for the DoD, why can't the media just admit it?

Arti's space capsule has one too many knobs.

A JIT is a double edged sword, it _can_ make your code faster, i remember in the early days of smartphone gaming, developers often had to manually "warm up" the JIT to prevent stutters during gameplay

It still is an issue nowadays https://discussions.unity.com/t/app-needs-warmup-first-slow-...

Similar story with the GC, it's nice to have, until it causes you problems (wich it will), so you end up having to avoid using it and instead rely on manual techniques

JIT and GC aren't the panacea people make them out to be

True using a JIT without understanding it is not a panacea. Same as a GC. Same as malloc and free (you're often much better off with arena allocators).

Most JITs let you tune when and how they inline. It's also worth knowing how they works and what they can/can't inline.

You linked to monojit. Luajit is a whole other beast. I'd argue it's superior to anything in JS/JAVA/C# land (and I say that as someone with a reasonable understanding of the JVMs C2 JIT).

As an aside with low latency GCs like the JVM's ZGC trading manual memory management for no memory related security vulnerabilities is pretty appealing.

Like everything in programming it's a trade off.

Every year the same debate, every year the same Microslop apologists in the comments, every year nothing ever changes, every year Microslop's market cap keeps groing, every year the same problems

Microslop should have been dismantled decades ago, it's now too late, we need a paradigm shift so that Microsoft no longer affects our society

Every year Windows loses a little more market share.

The West spent decades throwing money at software and services

Now they can't keep up because they never built the infrastructure to actually power any of it

You are right, in the grand scheme of things, Windows is probably only 20% of gaming market share

PlayStation and Roblox have the same MAU as Steam, that says it all

Steam's MAU probably includes people who boot their PC and have steam open in the systray

Billions of dollars, yet not for thee

The game where you, the people, will always be the loser

JetBrains Mono

That's the one i have been using for many years, look like i made the right choice

Another W for Microslop

We truly should be proud of that joke of a company
