I can't imagine electron is more compete than a wine wrapper around a native windows app. Qt or similar gui shouldn't be too much work for what appears to be a single window app.

Regardless of how prominent it is to some, I suspect being "an opinion piece" will escape or be meaningless to at least a majority of readers. Who's fault is it then? The educated, professional author that should know their a

Not sarcasm; ignoring the surrounding try catch block, it's one line of code.

Java is nice because it's nearly trivial to get native look and feel.

"Modern", now with features from VB in 1996: autocomplete! All joking aside, this is a rewrite on top of electron, not something I would consider modern either.

Etcher is easy to use but why on earth did they decide to make it an electron app?

Why do you call it modern?

I don't understand; the article says don't hide it, then the article shows a sign in link that uses a dark-pattern non-button sign in link next to a button. Visually I would have missed the sign in link until I took a second or ev

How old does something have to be before it can no longer be called modern? I think 5 years is a stretch.

Comparing equality of color seems like a trap. If they aren't from the same color space, it's more like comparing a float, which will need some precision specified.

How is Synology software better? I've had the pleasure of setting up rsync between Synology and QNAP and I would say the Synology software appears to be better but actually isn't as good. Synology appears to use older versions of

More like give them a scapegoat. The risk is still there and in the same place.

That's a use for sure; though it remains an anti-pattern. Don't mess with the scroll.

Half these things should be avoided. Don't mess with scroll or scroll bars. If a user wants smooth scroll, they will enable it in their browser. Snappy scroll is unpredictable and disorienting.

One thing is clear: Google either doesn't understand users at all or they are lying when they say this is for the user.

And clarify that it's closer to the top, not the actual top.

Interesting they include WAV in the acceptable formats. Although traditionally WAV contains PCM data, WAV is a container format and can contain any audio stream, including MP3.

I still use my 6th gen ipod nano basically every day. They are more expensive refurbished now than a new one cost at launch. It's practically weightless, clips on to the collar of my shirt, and has an okay UI. It also syncs with iTunes

Our team has; it's been very difficult. Our jenkins build agent (running as a container) runs integration tests that start a node+serverless container, that starts a localstack container, that starts a lambda contianer.

I had a wireless USB hub from iogear. I thought it was awesome; I could put my printer on the other side of my apartment. The speed was slow so anything that depended on speed was not great, like a flash disk, although it did work. The wors

The Scala autocomplete list often loads with a huge list of awful suggestions then moments later adds a bunch of useful options. We are using scala exclusively to write tests for our java code; we are using scalatest for this. The autocompl

The static types enable IDEA to do its magic. It's nowhere near as good for Python, JS, PHP, etc. C# support is great though.
