I use Levels filter tool for that in Krita. Already non-destructive.

Python Overtakes JavaScript as Most Popular Language on GitHub in c/python@programming.dev

Scala does look nice. Just a quick syntax view makes me want to give it a whirl when I want an alternative to Python. I used to code in C++, and C#. I use G'MIC (DSL) as my main. Scala seems right up my alley.

Yes. <center></center> isn't part of HTML5. It is part of HTML4 though.

Yes, something like that. I provided a spoiler example recently. And I would definitely like to be able to adjust what's going to be rendered by editing on the rendered viewport.

Looking for a HTML4 editor. (programming.dev)

Right now, I would like a easy editor that allows me to not worry about HTML4 syntax, and simply adjust the rendered text, while I can see the HTML source code.

The reason I need something like this is that I sometimes do make note() in G'MIC which looks like this:

#@gui:_=separator(),_=note("<center><b>- Additional Information -</b></center>")

See that inside note("")? That's HTML4. And while I can do without a editor, I feel that it would be better to use an actual editor where I can copy and paste.

My code can look something like this (Without wrap lines):

Git grumpy: Torvalds complains of passive voice in merge commit messages in c/programming@programming.dev

[–] Reptorian@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

When I do commit, I write up the title of what I did, and describe it, and then use periods for related commits. Just easier.

Python has a library for everything but.. in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

[–] Reptorian@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm just glad I have other options than just Python. Am not afraid of writing my solutions either. I rarely use Python these day.

Things You Should Never Do, Part I (2000) in c/programming@programming.dev

[–] Reptorian@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.

This. I'm coding to contribute to a open-source software with very small amount of coders, and with a non-mainstream Domain-Specific Language. A lot of the code I did before has been proven to work from times to time, but they all could benefit from better outputs and better GUI. So, I end up reengineering the entire and that'll take a really long time, however, I do a lot of tests to ensure it works.

I have to say, I really like the concept behind this. May be another tool for parsing strings I have besides Python.

Even simpler is repeat 10 { }

} just stands for done.

Palindrome Challenge in C++ in c/learn_programming@programming.dev

[–] Reptorian@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think we do have a difference in opinion. What I'm saying is that some apps are done with many years of development, and in those case, C++ will likely be the only realistic option because it is way more time-consuming to switch. For example, Krita. I do agree that when there's a choice, C++ is less relevant these day.

C++ is still used for some popular applications, and it still is the only realistic option for these ones. I think there should be more Domain-Specific Languages. I want one for vector graphics like G'MIC is for raster graphics.
