Yea, I don't really see a scenario where you are both, making http requests (and therefore care about http responses), and also not able to see the response.

If you are using some wrapper client for an API, you wouldn't be dealing with the response anyway so it being in json isn't particularly helpful

Don't gaslight me. The games you play may work fine, but the games I play don't always. And the games I play are almost exclusively single player small scale indie games. I play games on Linux just about every day, exclusively. My experience is that, while serviceable it's just strictly not on par, as you claim. Though you contradict yourself anyway by hand waving games that don't work.

I don't understand the need that people have to pretend like it's all perfect. Attitude like yours is toxic, diminishing the experience of others in order to pretend like there are not any issues, trying to put the onus on the user for playing the wrong games or not conforming to the idea that proton is a perfect solution.

Gaming is 100 percent not 'on par' I've exclusively used Linux for years now, and consistently run into issues not present on windows.

Is it good enough? Almost, but there are hugely critical aspects missing.

Lots of simulators (I racing, fanatec) lack support Anti cheats as mentioned. Plain old poor performance.

Protondb only lists 20 percent of titles as 'platinum' rated, with most gold games needing tweaks.

30 percent of titles are silver or lower.

I still to this day get hitching and stuttering as data is streamed into memory in many games, sekiro recently comes to mind, making any level transition exceedingly annoying.

Yea, electron has flaws, but it's basically the only way to make a truly cross platform native and web app. I would rather take a larger installed size and actually have apps that are available everywhere.

The sad truth is there aren't enough developers to go around to make sleek native apps for every platform, so something that significantly frees dev time is a great real world solution for that.

I don't get paid to optimize, I get paid to implement features.

You may not be aware, but Nazis (both traditional and the neo variant) love dog whistles.

Obscure and hidden symbolism is core to their ideologies.

Nazis (and most hate groups in general) love doing things that are just innocent enough, but with a wink or a nudge, demonstrate clear intention.

It's quite easy to not do a nazi salute and when public speaking, politicians (and people who practice their public speaking skills in general) have traditionally been coached on what features may be construed as, just look at the traditional 'non-threatening' two finger point.

Finally, I don't think it really matters what it technically was or wasn't, what matters is perception and reception.

Edit: I want to add some concrete examples of nazi dog whistling and symbolism.

Historically the numbers 88 have been used by neo Nazis to represent HH (8th letter of the alphabet) as a disguised way to say 'heil Hitler'

The numbers on their own don't mean anything, but given additional context, behaviors, or related ideals, then an additional meaning can be found.

This is often used as an intentional way to inform sympathizers to your position that you are on their side (for example a group at a political gathering) without overtly communicating your position to those opposed.

Another example is skinheads (not sharps) wearing and lacing their boots in a certain way with specific color laces.

Hitler himself was immensely into the occult and found hidden symbolism to be very powerful, it's part of why he repurposed so much religious iconography.

But is it really?

A 2000 mile road trip with 20 minute charging breaks is gonna add what? 3 and a half hours on top of 30 hours of driving?

Unless you plan on doing a bunch of meth and speeding across the desert, I don't see a scenario where a regular person does 8+ hours of driving and doesn't take a 20 minute break.

I'd like to add that for the once in 20 years that car sees a 2000 mile road trip, I don't think waiting a little bit is actually an issue.

Take an honest reflection, and think, how often are people driving driving more than 300 miles in a single session.

Then think about yourself in the position of the road trip, are you going to sacrifice the lifespan of your battery to go from 20 minutes to 5 minutes charging time?, (especially since it's likely you will spend more than 5 minutes anyway just going to the bathroom, eating some food, etc.)

I commonly will be in a call with friends, where we all stream the games we are playing independently to each other.

Another use case, one person screen shares YouTube for group watching

And one more, we will often play chess and screen share so others can watch.

This is for a group of 3-10 people typically

Free means a hell of a lot when you are a child with approximately $0 in expendable income.

Also, modern money is also susceptible to an emp, arguably more so than crypto.

It's fun to talk about.

Vs code has no integrated environment though, it's just a text editor that supports plugins, you still need to install python or node or .net or Java or gcc, etc.

As far as vim requiring keyboard commands, that's really only the case if you leave mouse mode off

set mouse=a

And of course, to muddy the water further, we have tools like https://helix-editor.com/ which, more closely approximate vs code, while happening to live in a terminal.

I maintain that in order to qualify as an IDE and not a glorified text editor, you must be able to, out of the box, without external dependencies, run and build the code it was built for (idea/visual studio) otherwise it's not very integrated, and I don't think you need to have nice graphics for that qualification.

I would say that an IDE is something that includes build/run tools integrated into it. Everything else is just a text editor. (But that's just my opinion of course)

To expand on my point, I don't think it makes sense to call vs code an integrated development environment if it doesn't actually have the environment integrated.

Visual studio and idea would be examples of IDEs, they actually have all of the tools and frameworks needed to run the languages they were built for out of the box.

You can't run node or python out of the box with just vs code for example, without their respective tooling, all vscode can do is edit the code and editing code is not functionally different from editing any other text.

So I maintain that both vim and vscode are text editors and not IDEs

I'm skeptical. You are saying that your team has no hand in the provisioning and you deputized an AI with AWS keys and just let it run wild?

Did it provision a scalable infrastructure? Because that's the aaS part of SaaS.

So you did one simple program.

SaaS involves a suite of tooling and software, not just a program that you build locally.

You need at a minimum, database deployments (with scaling and redundancy) and cloud software deployments (with scaling and redundancy)

SaaS is a full stack product, not a widget you run on your local machine. You would need to deputize the AI to log into your AWS (sorry, it would need to create your AWS account) and fully provision your cloud infrastructure.

Vim and emacs are text editors.

Vs code is a code editor (but really it's also just a text editor)

Maybe they mean IDEs like visual studio?

I've never really heard it called a coding GUI before.

So if auto pens mean that the document isn't valid, does that mean the same thing for DocuSign, or other e signatures?

Does this mean that billions of contracts and documents signed this way are null and void?

This is satire / trolling for sure.

LLMs aren't really at the point where they can spit out an entire program, including handling deployment, environments, etc. without human intervention.

If this person is 'not technical' they wouldn't have been able to successfully deploy and interconnect all of the pieces needed.

The AI may have been able to spit out snippets, and those snippets may be very useful, but where it stands, it's just not going to be able to, with no human supervision/overrides, write the software, stand up the DB, and deploy all of the services needed. With human guidance sure, but with out someone holding the AIs hand it just won't happen (remember this person is 'not technical')

I don't think that's wrong, though I think he picked a bad choice with columbine as both shooters were bullies themselves and not loner outcasts as perceived.

However it wasn't my point, which obviously didn't get across given the response, my point is that artist intention doesn't always matter, we easily accept the concept of death of the author when critiquing works, and we also easily accept that at least some forms of media have a direct effect on people's decision making. So while I don't think any artist should be censored, I do think it's foolish to imply that just because something is in a song (or by an extension, is played by a character) it means that nothing bad can happen.

If SpongeBob was telling kids how to stick a fork in the outlet is it fine because SpongeBob is a character

Besides, according to the man himself, on his own website, the lyrics are about relating to the shooters. From eminem.com - "Eminem was often bullied growing up, so part of him understands the desire to lash out at your entire school that the Columbine shooters felt"

I like Eminem but let's be real, this is a shock lyric, there is not much deeper meaning and the rest of the verse moves on quickly.

Also, didn't em himself have multiple songs and music videos about his influence and how children shouldn't listen to his music
