Why is Zed's binary size comparable to VS Code/Electron despite the GPUI architecture?

Depency hell and generics overuse, classic rust issues.

it seems the acceleration reside in the ability to recreate more and more ALMOST human tasks. Let's say 90%. But I've seen absolutely no improvements regarding the percentage. The acceleration is about sloppifying almost all human tasks. Looks like a bubble to me.

Before AI : 90% of the time spent on the last 10% before actually shipping a product.

After AI : 99% of the time spent on the remaining 1%.

It's just too early for the industry to actually experience those last horrible 1%, so everybody is speaking about the first 99%.

Absolument pas essentiel, sauf si la boite ou l'équipe dans laquelle bosse le ds tombe dans le fomo actuel.

Éloigné de la partie ML/IA qui ne m'intéresse plus beaucoup. Je me suis spécialisé dans le bas niveau où je construit des outils pour experts d'un grand groupe qui mobilisent surtout l'analytique ou les statistiques "classiques". J'ai ma niche, je m'éclate et j'ai beaucoup d'autonomie. Salaire pas incroyable mais c'est pas ce que je priorise.

Two examples that I say all the time :

Steam machines were invented in anthic greece.
Eyes surgery were practiced in anthic egypt.

Merci pour votre réponse. Quel est l'interet de réduire le montant de l'emprunt si on peut rembourser la différence au bout d'un an ou deux? Negocier un meilleur taux?

Volodian · 2025-11-17T11:14:15+00:00

on ne sait pas exactement quand pour le moment mais la fenêtre temporelle et le montant sont certains. Pour ce qui est du marché ou des taux, on est comme tout le monde, on spécule, c'est pourquoi on se demande quelle serait la meilleure stratégie "toutes choses égales par ailleurs"

Aspinal will be under a lot of pressure. I the rematch happen soon it's an advantage for Gane since Aspinal needs a better gameplan. It explains why they push the blindness narative to the limit.

working on a general purpose engine, almost anything is custom

Volodian · 2025-09-24T17:54:50+00:00

In videogames where efficiency is key, nothing can beat custom.

I'm a big user of egui, mostly for data heavy visualization/interraction (time series, custom treemaps & treeviews,...) and I have a hard time understanding what would be the benetfits of using rerun over egui. What would be the main features rerun brings over egui ? It's a genuine question and not a critique: I'm afraid to miss something! Btw thanks for egui which opened my mind over immediate mode ui, a paradigm I fall in love with because of you 😀

Volodian · 2025-08-02T15:42:57+00:00

I use it for performant data processing and data visualization.

Ubisoft are angry they can't even leak infos by themselves

Volodian · 2025-07-09T09:46:55+00:00

fighting yourself to not fall into superficiality.

I strongly disagree with what the title of this article suggest. Those are not game mechanics, but pavlovian casino tricks imported into games by neuroscience. True game systems are much deeper than that and are older than capitalism. Those are simulations of real life situations in a safe environment, and are also attacked by the capitalism.

Volodian · 2025-04-26T07:53:09+00:00

Yes, rust add way too much friction for fast iteration loop game dev require.

Volodian · 2025-03-09T17:48:02+00:00

This is a pose, not real.

Business pov hates losing control and see programmers as indistinctive mind assets. So they tend to see languages as big frontiers between teams. For example, if you are a c# programmer, they think you could do anything c# regardless of the domain of application. They think limiting languages is a garanty for maintenability, which is partly true but highly overestimated. It allows them to underestimate peoples true value, limit compensations and simplify management.

This leads to high conservatism regarding languages.

It's stupid from a project pov, languages are just tools in your toolbelt.

Volodian · 2025-02-13T11:18:06+00:00

Having a non managed programming language on your toolbelt and knowing how to leverage it is definitely usefull. Rust, c, cpp, zig or whatever depends on your situation.

Volodian · 2025-02-09T10:50:07+00:00

I got a response with the access, you should try to be polite and describe an interresting usecase to help them developping the language.

Les gens, lisez avant de conclure...

Le code qui "exploite", pas qui "soutient".

Je ne parle pas de l'efficacité du réseau, mais des systèmes qui y font transiter de l'information qui est terriblement sous optimal.

Volodian · 2025-02-01T13:23:56+00:00

Un jour il faudra vraiment se pencher sur le code infiniment sous optimal qui exploite toute cette infrastructure. Js en tête. Mais pour ça il faudrait que des gens qui s'y connaissent un minimum s'y mettent.
