MuseScore had a big UI rework with MuseScore 4, with an excellent video about the behind the scenes by Tentacruel (https://youtu.be/XGo4PJd1lng).

Although not sure if it caught people off guard as I’m not a user of it.

May not be the most popular choice, but I absolutely love Sublime Merge. Only issue I have is that it doesn’t support workspaces. But I love how it doesn’t abstract git away. Most actions in the UI are just called like the underlying git command, there are no non-git things like a “sync”. Plus you can always click on the top to see which commands exactly were executed and with what output. And it’s Sublime-typical wicked fast.

It’s an unlimited free trial with the dark mode disabled. License costs $100 and lasts for 3 years of updates.

It is by FUTO’s definition.

Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy. Whether you want to call it open source or not, as I said, it’s far from proprietary, and certainly more than just source available. Dismissing it for that reason is quite unreasonable.

It is not. FUTO calls it “source first” which just means “open source but with rules against bad actors”. Certainly far from proprietary.

I don’t need a blog post to know this, considering I’ve been closely following hyprland since vaxry’s first posts about it on reddit over 2 years ago.

People keep saying this happened only because vaxry got banned from the FDO, completely forgetting the fact that hyprland has used their own modified fork of wlroots for ages now. They’ve wanted to get away from wlroots even before this whole fiasco, it really just tipped the needle for them to finally pull the trigger.

Mind you also, the ban in no way prevents hyprland from using wlroots still. The only thing the ban did was prevent vaxry from contributing to wlroots upstream, which is damn unfortunate if you ask me.

I believe the main thing people liked about Floorp is tab grouping and vertical tab layout à la Vivaldi, and a more modern and slim design out of the box, while keeping a firefox core instead of being another chromium based browser.

what about Haribo

This Isabelle

just do everything in Isabelle and prove correctness, ezpz no tests required

That’s exactly it, no wonder I couldn’t find it. Thank you so much!

This is correct, while OpenGL and DirectX 11 and before are considered high level APIs, Vulkan and DirectX 12 are both considered low level APIs.

there is Inshellisense

Personally I never understood why file managers in linux refuse to do operations that require privileges. Guess what, if I have Nautilus open and want to move files into, let’s say, /usr/local, I don’t want to have to switch to the terminal to do so if I already have the stuff copied within nautilus. On Windows, I just get an admin password prompt if I try to do naughty stuff. On Linux, we have the whole polkit system, but no file manager seems to ever use it. Tbf, this is not a nautilus problem, as no file manager seems to do this.

My vote goes to Auxio for music and Just Player for video.

Actually when it comes to C++ 23 library features, MSVC is ahead of both. In fact, as far as I can tell, MSVC is the only compiler that fully supports all C++ 20 core language features at the moment. So credit where credit is due, MSVC has gotten way way better the past few years. Visual Studio is still awful, but the compiler has become quite competent.

IntelliJ and PyCharm are the only JetBrains IDEs with community editions. If you want to use CLion for example, you’ll either have to be a student or you have to pay.

The MS extensions are quite convenient, like Live Share and the MS C/C++ extension. There are equivalent free versions, but those are more work to setup and might not have the full feature set.

Not perfectly sure what you mean. I found Zed to be not any less simple than Sublime+LSP+Terminus. Mind elaborating?

Haven’t seen anyone mention the Zed Text Editor yet. It’s only available on MacOS as of now, but I’ve tried it out a bit and once it’s more mature (and available on other OSes), I might switch over from Sublime Text. It’s got a similar speed as Sublime, but with LSP, vim emulation and collaboration features built in, whereas in Sublime I need to install packages to achieve the same. Also made by the same people who originally made Atom and Treesitter.

I also want to mention Onivim. Unfortunately, development has stopped, so it’s not really a viable option anymore, but I loved the idea. The idea was to make a vscode/vim hybrid. To that extend, it’s written in Reason which allowed them to support vscode extensions, thus they didn’t have to create their own extension ecosystem, while still being faster than electron. As for the vim part, the entire editor could be controlled with a keyboard. They had a global shortcut to go into a “UI move mode” so to say, which allowed you to go to every single piece of UI you had on screen. Thus they were able to copy the vscode UI, but still be keyboard-only. It was a surprisingly effective idea, so I hope some people can revive it someday.
