No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.

Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.
Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.
Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto Politics@beehaw.org•Congressman Shri Thanedar Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors4·2 months agoIf this doesn’t go through, impeach him again and more protests. Again and again and more.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•Is war on China coming? The US military is seriously preparing [Geopolitical Economy Report]111·2 months agoThe US will not allow them to take Taiwan, too much at stake. Doubtful we’ll initiate.
But the US already did since Biden. They named Taiwan an “important strategic military partner” which goes much further. Basically the US is putting it’s finger on the map halfway around the world right in front of China’s doorstep and saying “this is ours” while China says it is theirs. Obviously Taiwan DID belong to greater China and even though I don’t especially support reunification it’s a slap in the face. Instead of letting sleeping dogs lie.
It’s always the press and people portraying the US has not doing anything but inviting countries into their military alliance. It’s dangerous warmongering. Yes, and the same happened in Ukraine.
I can see the opinions after another proxy war breaks out, oh those evil Chinese devils / yellow orcs! Appeasement doesn’t work, they want to gobble up all the world like Hitler!
Hopefully China is smarter or the USA collapses before that can happen.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto science@lemmy.world•Scientists Propose We Live in a Slowly Rotating Universe That Completes One Rotation Every 500 Billion YearsEnglish4·2 months agoNo clue haha but that is a neat idea. Also my explanation probably wouldn’t really explain centrifugal force to offset the hubble tension.
There was also a scishow or spacetime video about how gravity can be seen as an emergent property of “time / causality is slower the nearer the gravity well”, and that is how gravity works. To truly understand it you have to understand the math and how to solve it, afaik our explanations are all rather imaginary. So you could probably interpret the math to mean that this “spacetime bulging” is the result of a spinning universe.
The bigger question is: Where is the rest of the matter that spins in the other direction? It should have perfectly canceld each other out! (like matter and antimatter also didn’t)
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto science@lemmy.world•Scientists Propose We Live in a Slowly Rotating Universe That Completes One Rotation Every 500 Billion YearsEnglish17·2 months agoObviously it’s spinning in four dimension space. Like living on the 2D surface of an inflating balloon that is rotating, there is no “center” from the perspective of us lower dimensional scrubs.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?1·2 months agoWell I’ve always hated Visual Studio. It installs so much bloat, it is more like another operating system installed on top of your existing one. It’s an abomination.
And no matter what they call VSCode, for what most people need to create software it’s a perfectly fine substitute. I guess you should call it a DE, a development environment since compilers are not “integrated”. But that is a good thing, to be able to install compilers separately. On the other hand if you install compilers, the addons to integrate that compiler into VSCode. Maybe it’s an “integrating development environment”? :D
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?2·2 months agoYeah done that now :)
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?2·3 months agoYeah, I’m just too lazy to reinstall and copy over my settings to VSCodium.
Supporting open source projects by small teams has been the only good thing MS has ever done. Imagine if MS would even partly open sourced part of windows. Like there are bugs in explorer for 3 decades that just don’t get fixed lol. And then there still would be bloat and shitty things, but it still would be better.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?91·3 months agoMicrosoft Terminal vs the default Command Prompt haha. VS Code vs Visual Studio.
In general software is one of the rare thing where ordinary people can “mass produce” things that compete with commercial offerings.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor31·3 months agoYeah I guess the fundamental problem is the scalability because building automated battery factories that automate manufacturing isn’t easy.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor3·3 months agoWait, thorium reactors can be build small enough to fit in shipping containers? That would be incredible. I know they are now working on SMR reactors with helium as coolant that are very safe because nothing is under extreme pressure and explode even if there is a meltdown.
Reading on wiki it seems there is a SMR with thorium fuel cycle, butEDIT: Copenhagen atomics really is building a thorium molten salt reactor that is safe from meltdown!
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor121·3 months agoI’d love to know the cost of thorium reactors vs some experimental grid level battery technology with solar or wind. Like liquid metal batteries made out of dirt cheap materials, or liquid flow batteries. I’m pro nuclear, but it’s weird that there hasn’t been much progress in scalable cheap grid storage.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•US officials admit they ran the Ukraine war, and risked a worse one [Aaron Maté]82·3 months agoIt’s sort of surprising that this article gets so much backlash, since it’s just a rehash of the NYT article with a more critical analysis of the historical facts. And those facts aren’t even really something new - at least it was all suspected, now a bit more confirmed, or something the mainstream would see as problematic.
But I guess they can’t attack the facts presented by the venerable NYT so they take it out on the “far left” and “fringe” Aaron Mate.
At this point, I just want to see China arming Panama or Mexico or Venezuela to the hilt with modern weaponry, missiles and drones, and then when the USA invades them helps with constant logistics and satellite information of “points of interests”. We’ll see how the whole mainstream would defend this because they just had to liberate the poor people oppressed by those regimes there. That would be the equivalent to what the US, Nato and EU have been doing. Although I doubt China has any interest in such funny games.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump raises China tariffs to 125% but announces 90-day pause for others2·3 months agoEspecially since the USA can’t do anything to coordinate the response of their industry, having fired their people and only relying on the market to sort it out. While China could systematically and rapidly invest in any industries and goods from the USA that now face retaliation tariffs in China or EU.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump raises China tariffs to 125% but announces 90-day pause for others3·3 months agoI guess this is a tactic to isolate China and break up a possibly alliance of countries acting in concert to combat these tariffs? Well it’s a trade war.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•Japanese railway shelter replaced in less than 6 hours by 3D-printed model1·3 months agoWell yeah moving channels would be kinda impossible. I imagine while designing the house you’d plan for the electrical wires and 3D print clean channels you can slide wires or flexible piping through. You could also have extra channels near the floor and in the middle and vertical channels.
This would really only be good for lightweight structures that don’t need much load bearing, like tiny houses or RVs or huts or bungalows. Maybe structures on house boats / catamarans.
Instead of renovating, just melt it all down to recycle it and 3D print a new house haha.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•Japanese railway shelter replaced in less than 6 hours by 3D-printed model1·3 months agoNo? Sorry rather clueless about the practical aspects of that. But for electrical why is it not viable to just have channels you can push cables through? Do you mean because of corners?
Generally I was only thinking of simpler structures though like tiny houses or 1-2 room bungalows so it shouldn’t be too complex wiring or plumbing.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.eeto World News@beehaw.org•Japanese railway shelter replaced in less than 6 hours by 3D-printed model2·3 months agoJust 3D print the channels in.
But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.
