Nobody loves arguing semantics more than a programmer. VSCode is absolutely an IDE. Jetbrains is entirely plugin based, Eclipse is totally plugin based, and yeah so is VSCode.

FWIW many modern text editors just let you modify multiple lines at once.

Yes its a different language by the same creator.

I think they just mean they should have control over the modem. They are all locked down and proprietary with known backdoors throughout history, effectively bypassing any OS level security.

Maybe you are thinking of Telegram?

I’m not sure of its past, this repo goes back 4 years, but Signal is electron https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/tree/main

Electron doesn’t use CEF, they directly bundle Chromium.

Windows doesn’t support deduplication itself (though ntfs does support hardlinks if someone wanted to do it). It actually won’t help here because every electron app bundles different versions in practice.

Nobody has to use git, you can host binaries on github, or a dozen other places, and then just link to it on a page. Trivial task.

They just clearly don’t care.

bash sucks but i don’t agree. Some simple rules like regularly use intermediate variables with useful names and never use shorthand arguments goes a long way.

C++ literally makes it easier to avoid raw pointers and allocation that are dangerous…

This is all theoretical. Today it’s quite basic with billions thrown at the problem. Maybe in decades these ideas can be expanded on.

Seems creation time not modified. Makes sense “current” is older.

Causing annoyance to the user directs frustration towards the regulator and not the implementor.

Apple is doing this in the EU for example to “protest” recent regulations.

The maximum age is 400 days in Chrome.

It’s just a minor convenience, not sure why that’s confusing.

I can set the temperature from anywhere, that’s nice.

Only targeting new hardware is just a win-win-win for them.

Hardware partners love it, planned obsolescence is just new sales. Legal departments love it, constantly worse DRM. The development teams like it, less support burden. Marketing loves AI being a core feature.

They have no competition. There is no downside for them.
