May be slightly off topic, but what monitors and resolution do you use for development? 1440p? Do you have only one, if so, why?

Hello Andreas! :) I can see you‘ve been busy working on the browser, but I‘m still super curious about Jakt. Are you aware of any projects already trying it? (I‘m aware of the JaktNesMonster work.)

nice wallpaper ! i love seeing a new wallpaper in every video 😀

having a second monitor is useful directly in development i find as well -- if i'm reading some documentation or specification, i can easily reference it without many alt tabs :^)

WHF! String refactoring video coming soon? I'm stuck with C 'strings', so it's always fun to see other langs implementations

Hey Andreas, considered crossposting your tweets to mastodon? It can be done automatically. Would be nice not having to visit Twitter to see your tweets. :caret:

do you use secondary monitor as assistance while coding, for browser, terminal etc?

allocation can fail? as if! i assure you that has never happened before anywhere on earth

I had blender use the 35 out of the 8GB of ram while editing on my macbook xD

Just to clarify, I don't mind Twitter at all, serenityos-social is just so much nicer because so many cool SerenityOS people are in the same space. :caret:

Can you show the layout of nitter on ladybird?

do you think the trend of sites increasing how dependant on JavaScript is a bad one? and also do you think the requirement of logging in to be able to browse sites such as twitter and IG, is a bad one

Hey Andreas. Can you elaborate on the forward headers you include. I am guessing is to speedup compile times, but how does that exactly work, and how can I profit from that on my own projects?

what distro you use?

How do you feel about contributions to Jakt being on a continuous decline for some time already? Personally I wonder if it hinders the adoption into SerenityOS. I am just curious

why all big tech companies started pushing rust recently? And do you think c++ is a bad choice to start a new project?

Hi Andreas, I saw your tweet about reducing the include graph for ast.h, would this be something that could be done by jakt’s transpiler?

Do you ever plan to add some sort of package manager for software that doesn't need to be in the monorepo?

what you think of use fixme roulet in team, like once a week everyone get rnd fixme to work, is it bad for productivity?

How did yaks come into the project?

personally, programming with a borrow checker is just... difficult for me to wrap my head around, and additionally, i don't believe it benefits me in the projects i create...i agree with a more memory-safe programming language, but a borrow checker seems like a weird way about it. i certainly might not know enough though, maybe i'm bad at rust still :^)

Is the SerenityOS toolchain based on GCC? What did you tweak/hack?

@electrikmilk Just seems to be a tech expression: “Yak shaving” (or “shaving a yak”) is a term coined by Carlin Vieri, an MIT Ph.D., in the ’90s after watching an episode of “The Ren & Stimpy Show."

is there a type of development you'd never want to do? e.g. mobile dev / game dev etc

Now that you talked about forward headers, I‘d be interested in if Sererenity uses precompiled headers and if you think they‘d be useful.

in unveil(), what does mode 'b' grant?

The borrow checker is effectively language support for things like unique_ptr that make it easier to read. Like how Kotlin and others with null coalescence replace the use of null checks/optionals. (another message) You can always throw reference counted pointers at the borrow checker if it’s bothering you 😉

Do you think learning programming is more difficult today as tech stacks are getting deeper or back in the day when there were fewer resources to learn from but overall, the tech was more shallow?

why is there a battery icon in your task bar? also is that russian or Ukrainian text you just typed?

i do believe that explanation of goals/benefits for borrow-checking made sense. now its on me to decide if in my project it is worth the (potentially and likely minute) performance benefit...

my experienced is that I learn best when I force myself to try solve problems, not just googling for answer, most of people "overgoogle" and that is not good for deeper knowledge

Google tells me you could uninstall (apt-get remove) the entire „indicator-power“ package… xD

At work, we had a new programmer we hired. Their entire coding style was: copy code from StackOverflow, paste it into the application, then call the senior dev (me) for help because it didn't work. No editing, literally all their code was copy/paste. They didn't last long.

Did you see that Daniel included Serenity in his latest blog-post regarding curl? 😁
