You're in good company. Ligatures were really not meant to be used this way, and materially harm the editing experience IMO.

Using parens to pass type arguments was one of the things that turned me off on Zig. For a language that prioritizes "no hidden control flow," it sure did a lot to make various syntax conventions _masquerade_ as control flow instead.

> from a patent attorney

This isn't an interesting counterpoint. This is the de facto narrative regarding patent lawyers and patent trolls masquerading as firms that act as though they somehow contribute.

Very mid compared to Visual Studio in my experience. You don't even get a modules window, and there's a whole litany of core C++ debugging features missing.

Anyone who had any respect for Sam "Give me your eyeball data" Altman was always delusional.

The trouble with the comparison text is that it doesn't provide a way to quickly filter out fonts that abuse ligatures.

Seriously talk about poor naming. Even the start of this paper is the same as the other Radiance Cascades GI paper.

Console user spend and user acquisition costs are not even remotely similar to the corresponding values in the mobile ecosystem.

I'd really rather not, personally. All my Swift experiences have been fighting the abysmal compilation times.

Not having an opaque tech stack encumbered by a patent minefield is another plus.

You're missing something. Many somethings.

"header only"

Aside from template based code, this is a disadvantage in my book usually

You'll have to enlighten me on how Rust makes passing bounds any easier. Spans and views are pretty common in C++ and C codebases these days.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Settlement times in traditional credit card transactions are not felt by the customer, and provide safeguards for fraud prevention and charge backs. Furthermore, transactions are easily reversible through a claims system. Guess what crypto doesn't have?

Alternative take, scheduling a rejection meeting without providing any indication about the meeting agenda creates an unrejectable obligation without any consideration for the candidate.

All the criticisms of Bitcoin scalability are completely warranted and have played out.

I'm very familiar with congestion trading and was in that industry at one point, but cmon, this is a bad crypto talking point. It's already quite apparent that bitcoin mines actually destabilize grids just as much while driving up electricity prices for local consumers far more than any positive net effect from an energy perspective.

I don't really understand this take. Appkit/Uikit _is_ the dependency.
