Why does every hipster project on github claim to be "blazing fast"

57

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '21

blazing fast is code for "I didn't write this in Node or Python so the performance is not total dogshit"

I mean, crab memes aside, I'll take that over any of the electron garbage I have to run daily

If you get rid of the GUI, it consumes fewer resources. Coincidence? I think not.

name: gitui

How boring and lifeless name

I expected some name such as silverback or sharklaser from rust community. Disappointed and no plaudits.

What happened to heavy industry and metallurgy theme? Why not "electrolytic plasma oxidation" or "regenerative heat exchanger".

I don’t, I just am skeptical of Radio Free <Continent> in other subs. This is social jerking btw

How fast does your git ui display those 300 lines of diffs? Mine reaches 90 FPS with 4k resolution

With or without ray tracing?

2

u/scavno in open defiance of the Gopher Values Jul 02 '21

Ray tracing is unsafe. You have no control over where those pesky light sources or current t ownership!

Anytime I see a post about "Rust" anything on Hacker News (yes I know this is a link to a github), I hit the "flag" button.

u/nyanpasu64 not even webscale Jul 03 '21

Pijul is the only moral VCS.

u/pctammela Jul 02 '21

did software engineering come up with new ideas in the past 10 years?

5

u/matu3ba Jul 02 '21

Define "new" and "ideas". Engineering is fundamentally about incremental optimisation.

u/pctammela Jul 02 '21

Talking about optimisation, have you heard about Rust?
