Yes - people also would prefer to buy car with fancy big screen to buying car with lot of old school buttons. Because of fashion. After while, when big screen is not that fancy anymore, design can return to be functional again ... using physical controls.
You took parents sentence too mundanely. Why not add some basic capacitive or resistive touch layer to each page, so touching what was a link would be detectable, and then have a microcontroller blast the corresponding URL over whatever bullshit Bluetooth Low Energy iBeacon-like marketing spam protocol currently works best?
In my experience, the electron overhead is relatively negligible compared to the ressource usage of the language servers. And zed seems to use the same language servers.
It is certainly true that the language servers have the same speed in Zed, but there is something to be said for just never suffering from any UI delay for any reason.
Though I'll admit a LS that takes three seconds to respond is kinda indistinguishable from UI delay.
What kind of codebases do you work with? Other than with multi-MB files or thousands of multi-cursors, I've never had any performance issues with VS-Code. It's actually one of the fastest Electron apps, I would say. If I notice a delay, it's usually the language server or some support package's background command taking a bit of time.
If all you know is VS Code it probably feels fine and you should definitely not try Zed - "one of the fastest Electron apps" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
I have used both unbearably slow IDEs like Visual Studio, Android Studio, Atmel Studio and very fast and lightweight editors like Notepad++ and Sublime Text.
I don't have any issue with the speed of VS-Code on my machine and it feels the same as Sublime Text used to.
Main and often repeated argument against Electron is that it has a browser embedded inside, and that's why it's so bloated, slow and taking up so much memory.
Yet you give counterexample of using... a browser as a client/frontend to vscode.
Well it doesn't remove the exact main problem with Electron, does it?
Antarctica/Troll is not that weird. Really they use just two times: Cape Town time during short summer and Norway time otherwise. Unfortunately, Norway time happens to have DST ;-)
It would be nice to have similar feature like this, but to highlight rectangle (instead of text) on the page to focus viewer on some specific area. I send screenshots with highlight quite often.
Pretty difficult to specify a rectangular region within reflowable content. It would need to be anchored by element edges, but if the algorithm chooses bad anchor elements or they reflow in weird ways (a layout that goes from horizontal to vertical on small screens, for instance), everything breaks.
or every document on the web may have hierarchical semantic structure, so you can link/refer to a heading in any depth. eg #1 → first chapter; #1.2 → first chapter second heading; #1.2.1 → first chapter second heading first paragraph; #1.2.1.5 → first chapter second heading first paragraph 5th sentence. it won't neccessary be chapter-heading-paragraph-sentence 4-fold structure - just wanted to illustrate in conventional language -, but any level of structure.
Actually no. In the movie, there is already gravity present in the hub - generated by rotating this large cylindrical hub. Running in such hub would increase gravity slightly but no running is needed at all! Just being in such hub is comparable to running in cylinder mentioned in the paper.
Running in small (10m) diameter cylinder increase gravity significantly without need to spin the cylinder.
Anyway to minimize effects of Coriolis force in spinning cylinder, I think that the size of the cylinder would be significantly larger than the size in the movie.
Are you thinking of the space station? The running scene was in the interplanetary ship, with a 12m diameter cylinder spinning just enough for moon-level gravity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_One
"not white" isn't a race or demographic. african americans aren't the same as african-africans, and those are different from mexican, indian, asian, native american, etc.
and given how indians and east asians tend to be the overall wealthiest demographics, plus the "hispanic paradox", suggests that this is a way more complex issue then you're framing it.
You can use delta-v, so the closest is the distance rocket use the least fuel/mass. It is a very good measure how easily to get to that destination in space.
