I wonder if scroll to item by index works with a stacked VirtualColumn, since you end up rendering based on scroll delta. I guess it is also a bit annoying because you might want to scroll to index in a /different/ layout than currently visible.

the cool part is that Lazy (or Virtual) parts are decoupled from scrolling, which is something we don't really do

so technically a scrolling container can have multiple different virtual layouts stacked on top of each other if I read this right

very impressive model btw, it is very close to what we converged on in Compose as well

May I suggest @blob(accept = "...", size = 100000) instead of separate annotations?

const int const * const foo const;

sounds about right

tried to read the rules for const placement in C++ for 1000th time, ended up adding const after each symbol just in case

ah, no, I was completely fine with the bizarre part
multi-episode fights suck because I hate watching people monologuing and punching each other for a whole month straight 🤐

but also it is amazing that we don't get any filler anymore, so I should not complain

I think it depends what you use it for, probably for simple animations the motion vectors should be simple to compute
Tbh I am a classified motion blur hater, so never investigated how it is done

I don't enjoy multi-episode fights myself (pretty much stopped watching jjk because of that), but the ending was worth it imho

Also motion blur is probably just a shader?

my job is somewhat unique in a sense that I don't see that many non-interesting parts ig

when delegating to other people I usually rely on their expertise, which is mostly absent with the current state of LLMs.

The worst part is that I have to always double check nuances

From a recent example: I asked what's a difference between `@InputFiles` and `@Classpath` in Gradle, and the LLM was 80% correct, but added some properties of `@CompileClasspath` to `@Classpath`, which was quite important detail for me

Right, but I am pretty sure IDE should be able to distinguish those, it even shows usages for "function Foo", not "everything Foo"
If you rename the function, I don't think it will rename the object as well, for example
