(Neo)vim + a spell checker is enough for me.
Quick and precise navigation & distraction free working are what i was looking for and found.

Wdym? Lsp? I'm just using a small collection of snippits+compiler and it works quite well.

2cm x 2cm in the supermarket and 0.5cm × 0.5cm in the forest. 5 by 5 seems so big :0

I think it is even worse when you realize that the same person who at lunch break told everyone how happy they are with their child, advocate company policy later that would contribute to the destruction of the space their child will grow up in.
Idk how high you must be on phantasms to do that 😔

In case it wasn’t clear:

If your designs aren’t accessible they aren’t going to work.

Your average user does not exist.

This is an incorrect bias is built on an ableism.

People have disabilities.

You need accessibility or your designs will not work at scale.

Full stop.

+1 for expectations.
If i boot a visual novel I will read text.
If I boot up an action game and your text is keeping me from experiencing the action, I will get annoyed and figure things out myself.

Arris - NoBuild for Java Arris is a single small Java file that controls the build process for your Java projects. It is extensible and hackable by nature.

While I am still implementing and testing,
people who are interested can see the full list of changes planned for the 2.0 release on the new landing page I made for Arris:

Can you do a Linus and just say no, refer to the guidelines and close it?

I think I will pick up work for Arris (Java-no-build) on my vacation.
More jdk tooling support and some nicer ergonomics.
That will sadly bloat the lines of code, but I think better ergonomics are worth it.
(Still single file tho)

It is time to globally outlaw centralized for profit compute.

A thing I wanted was an option inside the newly introduced account-settings that allows to switch between some hotkey presets.

*Ideally with full remapping, but that seems like a dream given how hard the implementation of font-switching was. Legacy apps sure are something...

While I am slowly moving everything from the div-hell from 19XX to sematic elements, there are operations that WILL require shortcuts.
To be precise, I currently have a pop up that users can toggle with `?` and a visisble button on screen that displays (and also reads out) the short cuts.

This seems to refer to websites. I guessed that something like that existed, but thx for the confirmation.
My question was sadly asked with web-applications in mind. I fear that semantic navigation can/will break down with them.
And since I am developing such an application, it looks lile they will.

Gen question: is there a list somewhere that lists/compares the key binds that screen readers (or even other accessibility tools) use?
Would be helpful to either replicate them or avoid using their keys.

The last genuinely new thing for dev that I noticed were the ok color spaces. And I'm a dork that scrolls through all new packages added to nix to see if there is something new.

Tldr; we should read more old books and papers.

And worse, since AI-people rely on the copy&compress machine, they are unaware of all the discussions that have been had already. I've not seen a single tool released in the last 3 years that has not already "existed" before.

All of which we had and studied since the 80s. It has been very rare to read an article that highlights something new. Or look at a tool that has not existed in a different form before hand.
They are not even improving it, but just reinventing.

I want to slightly push back on the pace thing. Things are "fast" if you look that the *number* of things released.
But this illustration falls appart if you categorize things by what they do/claim to do.
- chat interface
- auto completion
- solutions to self created problems (MS™️)

If we were to integrate CSS into a C layouting engine and write a big header file; can we trick web devs into developing apps that are offline, multicore, don't need 4gb of ram, and are <20mb including assets?

At this point the only difference between developing for a browser and a normal OS is that the end user doesnt need admin privileges to install your software.
... and that linux is smaller than 500mb including tools while browsers are 2gb+ and still need the OS.

Tearing down the login wall: name change guides are now public You no longer need to sign in to access Namesake guides. We’ve redesigned forms to simplify data entry and review.

Last year, we launched a web app to assist trans people with legal name changes. Today, we’re removing the login wall and registration requirements and making everything publicly accessible.

This is the biggest embarrassment for multiplayer games imo: when using KLAC you have admitted that you could not design a protocol/server that could prevent this. Same level as needing admin access to launch. Why should I then trust you with my kernel, when you can't even program the easy part!?

Fairphone is pretty nice. I have de-googled it pretty easily and repairability and long term support is great.

Is there for you a point where you say for the purpose of public communication, nuance is destructive instead of constructive?

Excuse me, how many steps does this build process need!?

If it is so expensive in the US, that it's requiring a loan; might as well take that money and do uni in a country where it is free and you can explore a country you like when you have downtime.
