turned 30 today. Half my 20’s working on Bun! I should date more

@idiosyncronaut @5813cf9e38904f @thdxr The language does impose several limitations that make it awkward to achieve something similar to React. Even if you only consider working with []T - there’s like a couple dozen extremely opinionated deliberate design decisions there
English
@5813cf9e38904f @thdxr if you had understood the post, you would know his point has zero to do with the language and is an effect of the design of the library.
English
dealing with a bunch of performance problems in a golang tui library
fundamentally due to a very naive architecture - all of which something like react addresses extremely well
people in other ecosystems like to make fun of react but they should probably just learn from it
English
@mitchellh does this mean we’re finally close to actually being able to call the ghostty API to do things?
Never really understood why there was no interest in adding the main feature devs need (callable API) versus GTK optimizations or opinionated UI features (they’re appreciated tho)
English
Cranking up the spice level of this feature. You can now send text, keyboard events, invoke any keybinding action, and more. We're inching towards "wait, this is actually really fucking useful" on this exploration. (Sound on again)

@n4v1g8 @skydotcs @jarredsumner he dropped out of high school to do thiel fellowship, did it before the stripe job

@TheGingerBill @mhtx Unreal Engine 5
how did all programmers collectively fail to overcome OOP without a gc lol
the real question - is it harder to get a solid grasp of and do reliable maintainable C++ or Rust master and still have regular release cycles?
unreal 5 rust rewrite?
English
@mhtx If it's not false, tell me the good options.
And no, it should not be that. I don't want people writing goddamn web apps for the desktop.
English
"there isn't really a simple native way to write decent GUIs."
False.
It should be "there isn't really a simple native way for web developers to write decent GUIs for desktop applications."
gingerBill@TheGingerBill
After watching @theo's video on "Is Electron really that bad?", my personal view is still that it is very bad BUT that's because there isn't really a simple native way to write decent GUIs. There is not a good native alternative for people to use. youtube.com/watch?v=WdmfFm…

@jacobtechtavern @lonelymathmos @paulg that might be true, but the plateau is very real and the trends for average employment duration and the average duration STEM graduates spend seeking in between employment (in particular) are trending in a very unfortunate direction
English
@lonelymathmos @paulg Nah the STEM to IC pipeline strong as ever
English
Prediction: This is a secular trend. The pendulum will never swing back.

@mitchellh @vetalko000 how do you use adblocker then, or do you not care

I've conquered the YAML boss. Another item checked off the todo list for Ghostty 1.0. We have a fully automated release pipeline for tagged releases now (we've had one for "nightlies" for a long time). This was a test run, but should be ready for the 1.0 build soon. 👻
English
Lots of offended people reaching out
I'd be offended too! But I think the truth is too important not to be spoken — where you live is the single most important career decision you'll make. You should make it with your eyes wide open
English
If you're in tech and not in the Bay Area, you lack either judgment or ambition.
English
@usrbinkat @ibuildthecloud it is EXTREMELY confusing and near impossible to understand unless someone reads the source code
they somehow landed on a nested functional call + awkward closure + whatever the fuck yield ends up doing besides passing the value into your function
English
I just wrote my first golang iterator and holy crap it made the code so much better. For context, this is super advance crap I've actually written three times before. So I already know what the code looks like without an iterator. Can't share the code publically yet, but wow.

@ellie_huxtable > mentioning Kubernetes and bare metal complexity
> running k3s instead of setting up a real cluster with kubeadm
smh

@yacinehmito @ibuildthecloud At the end of the day what can you really use Nomad for, it sits in a weird in between layer.
for example at Roblox they landed up using it to handle the Kubernetes orchestration layer lol, something like WarpStream fits the bill but even that ended up being a sellout play
English
I'm kind of sad that I've basically left the infrastructure space when there's a real opportunity to build simple services like this. People are dying for a simple, "not kubernetes" solution for simple "I don't need kubernetes" use cases.
yarlson@yarlson
Started working on an alternative to Kamal (by @DHH). Single binary, supports multiple services. Note: It's in active development; bugs may occur.
English
@GeoCloudChaser @ibuildthecloud plenty run their own Kubernetes, like kubeadm on rocky; even OpenShift is massive
tbh it’s ALL Kubernetes now lol, even something like a ec2 farm many wouldn’t take seriously or would consider a dated approach
English
@ibuildthecloud Main issue with Kubernetes is that people still want to run their own infrastructure.
English
@ibuildthecloud @progrium Alpine is so good, can legit just be running in production forever and after a year it all makes sense
Personally I think react from a library perspective hits a solid sweet spot of useful abstractions
raw js is too tedious, and other stuff feels mega mid like ts lol
English
@progrium Just simpler. Less frameworks. React reminds me of what happened to the Java ecosystem where the frameworks became more important than the task you were doing. I'm a fan of things like htmx or alpine.js.
English
why did react have to ruin the world of frontend dev.
English
@HSVSphere have you ever actually used it
share code of reading/writing 10 items from a list LOL
likely you haven’t used kj::anything before posting this, I bet you’ll give up on it completely after that
English
Don't sleep on the Cap'n Proto serialization protocol - the author previously created Protobuf, and Cap'n Proto fixes the glaring issues while making it literally infinite times faster.
Go read what it has to offer at capnproto[dot]org. It's ∞% faster, and has a much better DX.
English
@CrisprChild @soychotic 100% true, save yourself a meth addiction
read gwern dot net modafinil to be informed and use the lesser of the evils/sustainable version, but convenience likely already has you hooked
English
@soychotic I don't think any of this is true. I think you're just saying things
English
@allinasecond @suran70167 @that_anokha_boy @paulg @garrytan this is the real comp
dude is not bad lol, intern at Tesla autopilot etc. and just playing the game yall gotta chill
English
@suran70167 @that_anokha_boy @paulg @garrytan how did they get that comp? there are valuable people suffering financially
its mind boggling
