This will never take off with that awful logo and mascot, and general silliness. With the "developed by Framasoft", like who the f* cares. It's noise, it looks awful, it repels potential users. Get some serious marketing person in.
Gave me a good laugh, it's like when they were envisioning flying cars 50 years ago.
The whole business model of living off of App stores, controlled by tech giants, is flawed, and no sane person should ever make this their sole source of income. It's like being held hostage.
No Android app, no cigar
Why wouldn't it say nowhere (README, the website) what does it actually do and how? It's all marketing bullshit such as: Get up and running in seconds! Build web apps in minutes. Deploy with a single command. Build anything, faster. Create your whole app in a single language. Don't worry about writing APIs to connect your frontend and backend.
This kind of shit might catch a manager's eye, not a developer's one.
How and why would I feel that I'm helping society/humanity/planet/world anyhow by working for Upware? Who would I really be helping to achieve what exactly?
This is cute, but it would be more helpful to have react-style GUI programming in python, with Qt (Quick or widgets) as the backend (instead of DOM).
It's not true that Python doesn't have anything akin to package.json scripts. Bonus points: all is executed within project's virtualenv.
We have WASM dude. But TS people are in TS bubble for what it's worth.
few pay attention to the fact that most grains are protected or even patented
Government and legislative failure. Just protect the seeds by disallowing any protection/patenting, for the public good, that's why we pay taxes.
Sure, but how will the MacBook hold when it's as old as your Dell?
Came here to say this, I stopped reading after that, just skimmed the article, it's bunch of horsecrap.
I find their C++ style particularly appalling.
This is bullshit.
The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive
bullshit
user accounts to just run a terminal?
bullshit
collaboration
bullshit ...
I recently tried Natron. I work on Linux/wayland. It was constantly crashing on me, I rebooted to Windows and tried the Windows version, it was crashing, and it was getting stuck a lot.
IMO Blender can do the same job and do it better.
That web page is like a time capsule, serious 90s vibes. Just add <marquee> tag somewhere in there to make it complete.
What's with the obsession with S3 API? Why not FUSE and just use any programming language without libraries to access the files? (Obviously without some S3/FUSE layer, without HTTP, just direct access to garage with the fastest protocol possible)
It's cute, decent enough, and hand-crafted, but it doesn't measure up in usability, features, and performance to the email infrastructure that is run by big providers
What a BS, wake up dude.
usability, features, and performance?
you really make me laugh, it's so bloated it's barely usable.
So why does Europe have such hard time popping new software ventures
So what makes you think that "popping new software ventures" is a good thing for society? Isn't there enough software already? The problem is the mediocre quality of it, and decline (hello Adobe). Popping new software ventures is hardly a solution.
Absolutely NOT! It's waaay better to have huge multinational corporation dictate what's right and what's wrong and what's good and what's bad! And they do it for you my friend! For FREE!
Ever heard of surplus energy? Do you think miners would ever pay for non-surplus energy?
Doesn't load at all on Android
Black Mirror
Does anyone know WHO is actually pushing this? Who is behind this? Who initially proposed it, and who is lobbying for it? Gimme names, c'mon
Don't understand how this is the top comment, hello HN backdoors?
Can anyone share a use case or two, for this or in general for this kind of service isolation?
You work for medium and you only care about yourself, not about your readership if you have any
I don’t think switching to a stand alone website would be good for me
Yeah I just tried crdt.el and it works great, out of the box. I presume some issues would pop up with more intensive usage. It's a bit odd to host it wherever it is hosted now. Also, if qhong would solve the discovery problem, then this could be The Package for collaborative editing. I can imagine something along the lines of how magic wormhole works, or some publicly hosted DHT.
Why does it follow this pattern, at least in the docs, where the user is supposed to subclass Scene and provide a construct method? How does inheritance help here? Wouldn't it be simpler if instead users can make Scene using their own abstractions and functions in whatever way they feel is appropriate?
They wants to run JS faster, on platforms where they can run Swift/native with zero overhead. As of why? Go figure.
