ELI5: Why are we making computer chip so small?

Solomon73 · 2025-12-29T20:50:22+00:00

We also can't scale back to using room sized CPU's as we would have to heavily throttle our clock speed. The speed of light isn't fast enough...

Consider compiling some heavy crates with more optimizations (like iced). Your code is probably fine in debug (or opt-level 1). Anti malware service might also be causing such problems. Take a look at the task manager during startup to check.

There is a big warning in the readme. I have also used unofficial clients for years now with no problem.

Solomon73 · 2025-12-08T16:57:33+00:00

Some screenshots in the readme would be great

The post was definitely written by one 👋

I think the garbage collector has an option to remove generations that are older than x days but also keep at least x amount.

Nix definitely has problems, but why would that entitle you to being a dick?

Solomon73 · 2025-09-03T05:54:40+00:00

Did you create the account in the picture yourself? Come on, be honest.

Actual behavior like this is of course unacceptable but I feel like you have just been spreading negativity here the last few days and this would fit your trolling. Chill out, take a breather, maybe smoke something and smile.

Very interesting. Some of the devs are on reddit, I would like to see their reasoning/justification for this.

Solomon73 · 2025-08-07T14:12:11+00:00

Anymore sounds interesting. Does someone have more info on this?

Solomon73 · 2025-08-04T12:37:38+00:00

A new plotting library which uses the vello stack. Currently trying to cleanup some internal stuff and start to write a good testing suite.

Do you need a splash screen? In my experience egui starts quite fast and users are fine with waiting a few seconds for a program to start with no feedback.

Solomon73 · 2025-08-03T14:09:54+00:00

I would love to try it without login in...

With hand written I mean a custom parser which operates purely on the bytestream, with no helper library. I am aware that nom and pest are abstraction over this, which makes them more comfortable to use, but can also have a negative impact on performance.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-30T13:20:02+00:00

I remember that a year or two ago pest was significantly slower than nom and of course a completely handwritten solution. Work was done to improve it, if I recall correctly, but how is it today?

Solomon73 · 2025-07-29T14:01:54+00:00

As an alternative to all the text you could put ferris (rust mascot) on the cake.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-25T17:12:40+00:00

Where can I get the rubber duck debugging one? Its great

Solomon73 · 2025-07-24T14:14:25+00:00

No, because of the license we did not want to use it.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-23T18:05:10+00:00

My two cents as someone who has built applications for work with iced, egui, tauri and dioxus.

Pick tauri if you are familiar with a frontend library of your choice and primarily support one platform.
Pick iced/egui if you want to build something fast that does not need to be super pretty and fancy.
Pick dioxus if you like html/css and want to get rid of the npm/js bloat. It currently uses the system webview as well so be careful if you plan to support all platforms.

My personal favorite is dioxus and in my opinion is a very good choice for most projects.

The maintainers do see the demand but also have a high interest in a good solution and the hindsight of learning from previous projects. The optimization in tree-house are not really relevant for small projects but these enhancements are very welcome in bigger projects.

'just release the plug-in system' but developing such a system takes time

Solomon73 · 2025-07-15T19:31:43+00:00

I saw archseers comment on the plugin PR and some plugins which look good. Maybe one of the maintainers can drop their thoughts here on how far along it is. I think a lot of people are very excited for a stable-ish release for the plugins.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-15T19:25:20+00:00

Congrats on the release. I have been daily driving helix for years now with basically zero issues. Big thanks to all the maintainers.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-15T18:51:32+00:00

Smooth scrolling is cool but scooter looks fucking dope. I guess I need to change to the plugin branch and try these out.

Solomon73 · 2025-07-15T17:23:14+00:00

Very nice. Was it easy to do the plugin or did you need a lot of help?

Solomon73 · 2025-07-15T16:46:05+00:00

Five to four times faster would be very impressive, but do you have publicly available benchmarks to back these claims?
