The problem with Electron are the large resulting binaries. Sure, it gives you everything, but you don't want to ship a whole browser engine every-time you ship a small app.

How big are the resulting binaries? This is something that's always stopped me from using frameworks like this. Also, from what I can see, the documentation seems to be in Chinese: https://lcui.lc-soft.io/guide/zh-

It's good to see more libraries filling this space. One of the foremost contenders is Libmicrohttpd ( https://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/ ). The only problem with that library is the LGPL license.

The magic of AVR was that it always had a great, opensource toolkit in the form of avr-gcc and plenty of community support around it. The AVR Freaks forum started well before stack overflow and offered a tremendous volume of support. I do a

The same situation that pmontra has described above/below. I love being on time to meet people. However, with Glympse, I don't have to stress about being punctual (even when leaving with enough time). There's no need to risk

I've been doing this for years with Glympse. I can't believe it took Google this long to bring around this functionality.

I would love to try this, but having the monthly subscription as the only option is off-putting. You should at least offer an option to 'buy' a trial pack.

What are the downsides of Helium when it comes to data recovery? If it comes down to the click-of-death, surely a traditional clean-room set-up won't work.

Sadly, very few politicians in Australia give a damn about it. It's all about "jobs and growth" over here.

Maybe it's a simple way of saying that the OP is not looking at it the right way? Sheesh! If you're just motivated by money, you're not going to go anywhere in this industry. I've met consultants who increase their fees

That's not the point of the OP's question. It just stinks of plain greed. Typical banker attitude from a lot of people here.

I have been poor (I'm also a migrant) but I'm not greedy like the op and yourself.
