<p>> 20% (35 chars) of screen space permanently wasted on a always on file browser<p>That is toggleable. Cmd+B on Mac. I usually keep it closed, but it's just a shortcut away when I need it.<p>> 4% (7 chars) of screen space permanently wasted by line numbers<p>You can disable that in the settings with:<p>"gutter": { "line_numbers": false }<p>> 2.7% (5 chars) of screen space taken up by a gutter<p>You can also disable the other items in the gutter to free up all of that space.<p>> So 27% of screen space effectively dead 99% of the time.<p>You can also press shift+esc at any time to toggle a fullscreen pane of whatever you are working on when you need more space without affecting your editor's state. I don't know the name of that action, I actually found that accidentally.<p>Edit: I forgot to mention, you can actually disable the tab bar now too if you want even more space. You would just need to rely on the tab switcher feature or file search to move around.</p>

<p>If I had to guess, it's because terminals don't know what a cursor is. From the terminal's perspective, it is just told to print a solid blinking block at a certain location. Neovide knows what the cursor is because it is communicating directly with Neovim.<p>A terminal could do this, but there would need to be direct integration into Bash, ZSH, etc.</p>

<p>One of the benefits of 4.0 is also the modularity of it with GDExtension. The major parts of the engine (including the physics) can be swapped with replacements without the need to recompile the entire engine. I'd usually say that is a long shot for community run projects, but even Bevy engine has community made extensions for separate physics engines.<p><a href="https://bevyengine.org/assets/#physics" rel="nofollow">https://bevyengine.org/assets/#physics</a><p>Forgetting about extensions, though, I see your point and almost agree, but Godot has shown that they will put in the work to improve their project, even if that means removing features like they did with visual scripting. Their physics engine will definitely be rough at first, but based on their past work, I believe they are willing and able to maintain it.</p>

<p>The patent you linked says "NO CLAIM IS MADE TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE "FPGA" APART FROM THE MARK AS SHOWN". From what I understand, that is just a trademark for the logo showing "FPGA" within their square design.<p>The tweet you linked is promoting their newest product, so of course it's marketing it as something fantastic. FPGA emulation isn't a miracle, but it does provide some benefits over software emulation. I find it hard to believe that people would be misled into thinking this is some scholarly source of information.</p>

<p>Just a small correction to that (because I don't like the hate that the Cube World devs get):<p>They never abandoned the game. It was a two person team (husband and wife), and both devs worked full time jobs while making CW. After the initial alpha release, CW got a ton of attention and became a DDoS target, which triggered some mental issues in the lead dev.[1] They went dark after that for a long time (probably because everything new was usually posted by this lead dev).<p>The silent mystery with the game just built up even more hype over six years until the full game finally released, and the massive attention and disaster seemed to happen all over again. Every post about the game complained about the new design decisions with leveling. The lead dev seemed to think this was the best version of the game (based on his comments in his blog) and he seems to not have taken the criticism well, leading to him going dark again.<p>I wish he would have taken the hits and continued with the game, but if it's affecting his mental health in this way, he is probably better off abandoning it. I hope he gets better and I am still looking forward to anything he and his wife make in the future.<p>[1] <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190910123212/http://wollay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20190910123212/http://wollay.blo...</a></p>
