In my experience Java GUIs are consistently even more laggy and unresponsive than Electron apps. They may be lighter in terms of memory, but they never feel lighter. Even IntelliJ and family - supposedly the state of the art in Java apps -

Yep. And as mentioned in the write-up, it brings lots of complications when it comes to accessibility. The same goes for SEO. It sounds like it was the right solution for them, but it isn't for everybody.

> could the DOM be pushed onto the gpu layer Some of it already is. The actual drawing-to-an-image happens on the GPU, so maybe that was a bit of a misnomer for me to point out in my last comment, but that's not the expensive part.

It would be interesting if, instead of a patent meaning "you can do whatever you want including preventing anyone from doing anything with this at all, if you so please", it only meant "you get X% royalties from anything anyo

In the web the performance bottleneck is not figuring out what changed, it's doing any rendering at all . Rendering health bars in games is cheap because they happen on the GPU and because they don't have the sprawling layout ram

Our rendering engine basically serves too many masters. It wasn't designed for what we're doing with it now, but it still has to support all the things people have done with it in the past. This is why systems like Flutter, despit

I mean, I would still agree with what you said knowing it's a parody.

Generally things like that in games re-render from scratch on every frame. Since it happens every frame, you don't need state management to push updates around. Everything just grabs the latest value anyway. The DOM on the other hand i

What a lazy, unfunny parody.

I've spent more time on the front end, but that's just because I like it. I don't like to pigeonhole myself and at my current job I'm full-stack.

All you have to do is viciously mute/unfollow people and words that are remotely in the sphere of something someone might get angry about. My twitter feed is 95% weird humor and cool art/tech projects. It takes some work but it&#x

If not stocks, then what? I wonder if there's some other investment vehicle that's become more appealing than it was before in this shifting landscape. Obviously not real-estate. Is hoarding cash really the advice for now?

I always forget that "poor" over there doesn't also mean "unable to get healthcare" and "living in a tent under the highway".

I know it's had some mixed support for other platforms for a while, but it's hard to really invest time and effort into a language before you know it has official support.

I like having my display as bright as possible without it being uncomfortable; it helps with readability. On my laptop and phone I'll shift the brightness throughout the day to meet this heuristic, but alas, Windows does not make this

For sure. I can try and whip something up later tonight if no other solution presents itself before then. I can email it or post here.

There are indeed lots of little things like that, but I don't see them as huge issues, whereas the lack of a dark mode is. So I'm personally going to respect the move-slow approach and only advocate the changes that I feel are tru

This is really exciting. Every time I see something about Swift my thought process is "that looks like a lovely language but I don't build iOS/macOS apps, oh well". Maybe now I'll give it a real go. Fun fact: Graydo

An open entry field for custom CSS would be a clunky but still welcome solution to this problem. It would also be extremely low-risk and low-effort on the maintainers' parts.

The problem is most browsers don't have an easy way to add custom styles any more. Desktop Safari does, surprisingly, and I use it there. Firefox removed that feature. There are extensions, but browser extensions are a massive security

Personally I've lumped procedural and OOP together into a single concept. Put differently, I consider OOP as a strict successor to procedural. Both are about side-effects and state, OOP just gives you smarter tools for encapsulating an
