It’s probably more prone to mistakes like that, true. But in practice I really never witnessed this actually being a problem. Especially with tests and review.

Yeah, that’s definitely a good point. But it’s a minor thing. Adjusting indentation takes 2 keystrokes in vim, I barely notice it.
So I’m going to say what I always say when people complain about semantic whitespace: Your code should be properly indented anyway. If it’s not, it’s a bad code.
I’m not saying semantic whitespace is superior to brackets or parentheses. It’s clearly not. But it’s not terrible either.
As someone who codes in Python pretty much everyday for years, I NEVER see indentation errors. I didn’t see them back when I started either. Code without indentation is impossible to read for me anyway so it makes zero difference whether the whitespace has semantic meaning or not. It will be there either way.
I’m so excited for Cosmic!
E2E is their flagship feature and pretty much only selling point. I’m really not surprised they don’t allow to just disable it.
Huge thanks to Vaxry and all contributors, Hyprland is great!
Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply
I didn’t expect this to be something I would actually use but I was mildly excited to try it out just out of curiosity. Then it asked me to log in. Login to a fucking terminal emulator. I have no words.
I’m very excited for COSMIC!
Thanks!
To be honest I really like the aesthetics of keycaps without labels and I will probably change to those eventually. However, I wanted to play it safe for now considering the fact that it’s my first time with a keyboard like this.
It will definitely be 99% stationary but I think I will need to figure out a way to safely travel with it a few times a year since typing on a laptop keyboard feels like a torture now…
Good job Cosmic team!
I really hope Cosmic can be the first DE to close the gap between tilling window managers and DEs we have today. Very excited for it!
I’m not sure about the exact percentage but I don’t think it’s necessarily that far off. I spend a lot of time reviewing code, designing, documenting, reading documentation. Actually writing code is a cherry on top.
I would actually say it’s VERY complicated but in daily work you probably need like 5 commands and those aren’t hard at all.
It doesn’t. I would really like that too…
I see that Framework and System76 were already mentioned. I would add Slimbook and Tuxedo Computers to the list.
I was just in a market for a Linux laptop and I really wanted a Framework but it’s not available in my country so I settled on Slimbook Executive 14 instead. I have it for around a month now and I’m very satisfied.
Off topic but I’m surprised by the amount of smart tv hate in this thread.
I have a Philips TV with Android TV. I use it for YouTube, Twitch, Spotify and occasionally for other streaming services. I actually really like the experience. Everything is a few clicks on a remote away, the UI is clean, it works reasonably fast.
I’m not going to argue about privacy though, that’s definitely terrible.
FWIW I never experienced any of the above besides the tracking, that’s there for sure.
Yeah, there are reasons to criticize snaps but the fact that it takes a lot of space in some UI is not really one of them.
A vast majority of the code in question is the code I’ve written for my work projects with multiple active contributors and refactoring is very common too. We all like to shit on Python for various reasons but no one in my environment ever complained about whitespace.
Like I said, I don’t think whitespace is perfect as a part of syntax but I’m much more likely to forget a semicolon than a proper indentation and this applies to any language. I guess it’s not universal tough, because you can often see code with messed up indentation on online forums etc. TBH this is just unthinkable to me, indentation is absolutely necessary for me to be able to read code and reason about it. When I’m thinking about blocks and scopes it’s not because I counted semicolons and braces, it’s 100% indentation.
Of course, but when indentation has a syntactic meaning the formatter often won’t be able to fix it.
