As far as I'm concerned, the subscription model is an instant showstopper, just like web-based UIs.

Great, another Electron based "desktop" app... :-/

It didn't take me a minute to find some screenshots in the documentation: https://docs.codelite.org/plugins/wxcrafter/

Many of Philip K. Dick books and short stories, but Ubik and A Maze of Death are my favorites.

William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive)

Douglas N. Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Frank Herbert's Dune books

Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human

Robert A. Heinlein - Citizen of the Galaxy

Robert Charles Wilson's Spin trilogy

Frederik Pohl's Heechee books

That's an overstatement of the century.

Even if it would be running natively, the statement'd be still highly debatable.

But it's Electron based and using TypeScript, which means it uses a lot more electricity than a native solution would (about 20 times [1]), wasting precious resources. Now consider the fact that this is a product of a company that states "to ensure that technology is inclusive, trusted, and increases sustainability."

The only amazing thing here is the level of hypocrisy, IMHO.

I used a recursive way: split the image area, calculate the edges for all, checking edges, and then either fill it, or call the function with the sub-areas's region.

Or you can set up a grid and calculate the chunks.

When I was learning a new language in my collage days, my helloworld used to be implementing a Mandelbrot/Julia set on the given language. A few months ago I decided to look into Rust and started to work on my helloworld in Rust, using RayLib :-)

Here's an example output from my version: https://ibb.co/p4bFF7S

There's a lesser known optimization trick I haven't seen in a while, which is especially effective when a large portion of the Mandelbrot set is visible: there are no holes in it, i.e. it's a compact set.

From an optimization point of view, it means that if a rectangular area's edges contains only values reached the iteration limit without growing larger than the escape value, the entire area belongs to the Mandelbrot set.

The interesting thing is that there was a sticker inside the mailbox already, but it didn't work, my mailbox was filled with junk mail, and I put them in the bins too. I guess the others don't mind the flyers and stuff, because the bins are still pretty full, every time I check my mailbox.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/red-dot-stickers/s?k=red+dot+stickers Putting one on the mailbox means "No flyers please!", at least where I live.

Unwanted advertising is spam. Period.

A lot of junk mail landed in my mailbox when I moved to a new place, until I put a red dot sticker on it. Within a week or two, they disappeared.

We should implement this "red dot sticker" feature in browsers (with optional exceptions), and pages, services and whatnot should respect it, or they will be facing fines. Fines that really hurt.

My Macbook Pro is connected to a Dell QHD display for years without any issues.

See? It's really not that hard, you just need to switch the perspective for a minute: what would I prefer if I were a user? Hiding the complexity from the user is one step forward to a better UI.

Just look at the Date format field in the Preferences screenshot. It's really hard to not find a more user-friendly way to do it, IMHO.

UI and UX matters more than developers care to admit.
