What kind of forms do you need? I honestly feel people think they have to use all sort of dependencies. There are some you definitely need, like the router or any state management (you can build both, but there is a decent amount of boilerp

Node.js is a runtime, not a language. It is quite capable, but as per usual, it depends on what you need/have/know, ASP.NET Core is a very good choice too.

> The application had to be literally installed on the system to even debug it I think that's because you chose "packaged" application, these apps need to be installed so that capabilities are handled correctly. To be fair

Rendering engine + set of native components + APIs to make your own components. Windows definitely shot themselves in a foot with building multiple renderers while building them on top of each other.

Basically I want an API available to build my own SwiftUI. Definitely not on the Core Graphics level :) But good point, I actually think AppKit might be a good abstraction level. I'll play with it a bit and see if I can abstract it beh

Nothing wrong with it, just want something a bit higher level and ideally with at least some native components/styles.

I really hope they do and the rendering engine is decently decoupled, I'll give a try building a framework on top of it. I wish all platforms gave access to their rendering engine similar to DOM on the web, imo SwiftUI/WinUI (or W

I use a similar approach. I tried to experiment going into a topic with no knowledge and it kinda fumbles, I highly recommend to have an overview. But once you know basics, LLMs are really good to deepen the knowledge, but using only them i

I think it is not really possible to fill all your time with "productive" activities, so to speak. I mean we are on HN, which is in general mostly a fun social network. It is not a bad thing, just all about balance. If you are foc

I am not really sure how bright the future is. Sure, for some people it will be insanely good: you can go for as stupid questions as you need without feeling judgement, you can go deeper in specific topics, discuss certain things, skip some

I've been learning systems programming for a while and recently I discovered kilo[0], which inspired me to start building my own editor[1]. Not sure how far I'll go, but hopefully it will be usable -- how fun would it be to build

Yep, I think a lot of people genuinely want to disrupt the status quo. Sure there are some very questionable things attached, but in general people are extremely good at ignoring things if they get a better deal out of it.

I fully agree with you, I have similar insights (deep technical texbooks are also great), but I have to say that the value you extract is not equal depending on how you approach it. If what you are learning is purely theoretical and you see

Depends on the business logic, sometimes summaries (or a short demo explanation) help a lot to understand the made tradeoffs, so the reviewer can contribute more without spending too much time. It is especially helpful if the part is somewh

i think it is the opposite. Users don't care about the backend, so as long as security is fine and DB queries are not too bad, it will be okay. You still need somebody oversee it, but the endpoints can be generated easily. Any UI clien

You can get a VPS in any cloud provider and treat it as your server, just copy files to it. It depends on the scope of your projects, though, if you need a lot of resources it can get pretty pricey for just toy projects. I pay $12 for a ser

There is also an issue that ranking is easily available now. Of course, recommendations existed in the past as well, and stuff like classic literature was ranked for centuries at this point, but still, I think we relied on word of mouth mor

Isn't MSIX packaged apps on Windows basically the same? They will even list all the capabilities before installing, and I believe it can handle auto updates outside the MS Store as well. But I think the main issue is that you can'

System in itself is not super productive. It can work with implied goals (usually if you have a lot of experience). The most resilient structure is a web of interconnected goals: even if you fail at some, the web will not break. The more in

Money, it's just business. I think every big corp is morally bankrupt (otherwise they wouldn't be big). There are some exceptions, of course, if a company found a sustainable way to monetize their output. But the baseline is reall

The thing about MS I recently realized is that whatever they do (and most of the technologies they output), they target it from the enterprise angle. So they check boxes with features, they just need to make sure they are available/usa

Tauri uses native WebView (can be very outdated in old OS versions) and compiles to native machine code. Electron bundles full Chromium (rendering engine for HTML/CSS+V8 for JS) AND Node.js for your app code. Honestly if there was an E

Yes, it is the biggest selling point. You almost never need to debug user/platform specific UI bugs -- if the app starts, it will render the same. There might be some GPU issues, but that's not due to the framework itself. Electro

Just read other replies, if you use the web platform in any capacity, you end up with tons of hardly reproducible issues, and it seems on Linux performance is bad no matter what. Chromium is superior to the native web view unless you have l
