That's my impression too. It seems like a lot of the "native development is hard, so I use Electron" have never once used native C# with Visual Studio.

I liked the article (in fact for me it was a better introduction that the "Liberating Programming, Period" article by Weizmann), but Hacker News is kind of a lost cause regarding, well, "news". Everything that cannot be

On further reading, it's debatable whether the "maliciousness" is not the community attempting to take away a project from its founder. Similar to how that toxic Twisted dev tried to push responsibility for maintaining their

That's related to an issue often found in medical devices development: the certified toolchain contains errors, but you cannot use the newer version with fixed errors because it is not certified. Of course, the new toolchain passes the

Sometimes I wonder why projects are either "single header only" or tens to hundreds of separate modules. One header and one source module would be a nice compromise regarding compile time vs. ease of use. Yes, I realize that some

To add to this (for those unfamiliar with Erlang/OTP): Erlang not only has general pattern matching, but also specific support for pattern matching on binary content (down to bitfields). It's better than C and C++ in that regard i

Exactly. The "PGP is bad because public key infrastructure management is hard" meme should please die already. The idea of a dedicated package signing and encrypting tool detached from this problem is maybe not a bad idea in that
