This is cool and reminds me of the old ascii art editors; although this appears more geared towards technical documentation than art.

Not sure why the title has to mention 144fps, which is of course dependant on the computer specs, the terminal emulator, and the screen rendering the program... If you've got a problem rendering ascii fast, I got news for you...

Yes, it's had a lot of money put through it since its early days, with quirky shortcuts and quirky features.

Imagine if they made Gimp good, this would be what blender became in 3D.

They've done it right, with a foundation and it appears to run like clockwork. Feature wise it now rivals with some pretty expensive alternatives.

Open source; can win!

A brilliantly designed horizontal logo to fit on server racks!

This, once again, misses the elephant in the room.

The fact is simple, there isn't enough of a Mac gaming market for the game developers to go through the effort.

The hardware has been good enough for a while now.

I'm not saying this will never change but the developers that shipped games on PC and Mac report something along the lines of 6-11% of users use a Mac. That isn't worth the effort unless you have a very strong IP and you've already targeted the switch2, the PS5 and XBox.

The game voxatron is old.

I'm not sure about the fantasy console version though! This might be new?

Extremely cool. Loading up these games in a split seconds used to take eons as a kid with the tapes.

No if you're referring to unions and an enum, it isn't sum types.

That's a ridiculously biased and short sighted opinion.

UE5 is just an evolution of UE4 and the early adopters suffer from being early adopters. Beyond that there is a skill issue in studios shipping less than ideal performances on time constraints.

UE5 is a marvel of modern technology from all angles.

It crashes as soon as you put a little paragraph of text on Apple M2 Pro.

Hard pass.

Why do these half baked projects get all the attention and thousands of clicks when it just takes a simple thing to bring the whole castle down?

I've been doing this for 25 years professionally and let's just say I'm more the 3 coffees, 1 redbull, headphones and bassdrive kind of programmer.

So no, I will not be "meditating". My meditative states tend to be beard stroking and occasional F bomb.

They rendered 5.3 unusable for me a few weeks back. It simply was locking up or answering poorly.

Because at the time of my purchase I mistakenly believed that fan-less was a given for an ARM laptop; and that ARM laptops were a lot more supported than Apple products; some big names were using ARM linux and raving about it.

It's still is a great laptop and I recommend it for the hardware overall, but not fan-less indeed.

I recently tried to get BSD/Linux to work on my omnibook X 14 and... it's been a journey!

Eventually I got it to work well with [1] and extracted firmware off github because I had wiped Windows and all partitions into oblivion.

I was looking for the bliss of fan-less linux with ARM. The joy! [2]

That's interesting and goes directly against what everyone complains about in the employment sector.

I'm sure there is a big caveat in there somewhere.
