Wow, I wish more services did that.

I dunk on electron, but it’s a love-hate sort of thing. There’s some great apps out there due to electron. VSCode is great. This http server is well done and looks handy! Personally though I’m just greedy. I want the best of QT and Electron

Interesting links, though it seems more due to SwiftUI than anything. SwiftUI still seems rough compared to good ole Cocoa. I also remember when Electron apps ate 100% CPU due to blinking text cursors. For what’s its worth my Figuro library

For a GUI app though?

Figures, though I suspect that code only makes up a fraction of the binary size. Assuming it’s electron most of that bulk is chromium bits.

Sorta! It didn’t start out that way but I’ve been building more from HTML overtime but keeping it fast and lightweight. I’ve cherry picked a subset of HTML like CSS grids which add a lot of layout power without tons of normal HTML hacks. I

Cool project! Setting up a quick local HTML server can be annoying. Alas it looks like it's web/electron based. :/ Downloading it and yep, 443.8 MB on MacOS. The Linux one is a bit better at 183.3 MB. Electron really should g

> Can you provide any reference to support this claim as far as actually good implementations go? Ah yes now to the No True Scotsman fallacy. Async only works well when it’s “properly implemented” which is only .NET. Even some .NET folks

You could construe my logic that way, but no I’m saying the DHS was likely wrong in that instance and it caused uproar and backlash. Unlike other nations where few would care if the government overstepped. Governments will always overreach,

No I’m not, but in case you missed the news several of the pro-Palestinian protests were violent or openly called for violence. Similarly with the posts in question.

They're American citizens and our problem to handle and tolerate? Also the US is hardly unique in deporting extremists: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2016/06/16/france-to-deport-n... https://

Of course, and as it stands foreign nationals on Visa's in the US don't have the same rights as citizens. Not that they shouldn't have some degree of free speech, but they can also be scrutinized and deported for advocating f

> Neither .NET's nor Rust's Tokio async implementations work this way. Well that’s great. I didn’t mention Rust in that list because it does seem to perform well. Its async is also known as to be much more difficult to program.

International students attending those events should probably be deported as well. Especially if they're helping to lead or promote them.

There is a difference in a foreign national engaging in political speech and a citizen. If anything allowing foreign nationals to adjust political speech here while supporting violence or terrorism would be inappropriate and unwise. After a

Elixir never performs all to well in microbenchmarks. Yet in every application I've seen Elixir/Erlang projects compared to more standard Node, Python, or even C# projects and the Elixir one generally has way better performance an

Poignant quote. Should we as a society accept students who are calling for violence and intifada on Israel or Jewish people in general? If anything some of those pro-Palestinian protests were more reminiscent of the 1933 “German Firm” boyco

And cases like Rumeysa Ozturk's are different. I also believe DHS should have to abide by the courts as well. Her case is also getting national and international attention and legal help.

I've seen a few news articles on arrests and the headlines are attention grabbing "Ivy League Student arrested for protesting" and it's worrisome to see. However then buried in the article is something like they overstay

I sort of view that list as table stakes for a well rounded capable person.. Well barring the invasion bit. Then again, being familiar with guns and or other forms of self defense is valuable. I think most farmers would be somewhat capable

Certainly it does, but not nearly to the same degree (anymore).

Nim has multiple backends and is relatively mature. It’s fairly readable as compilers go. There’s also a new experimental rewrite of the Nim compiler called Nimony which targets a new intermediate called NIFC. That is intended to the be tra

Even being “close” to where the money is printed gives you enormous benefits. Average Americans don’t get this. Companies like Black Rock gain enormous power over the US and other nations.

This “free money” also inflates housing prices. It’s one application of “trickle down economics” that works; except it’s housing prices. Even for highly paid Silicon Valley engineers what does it matter if much of that money goes right back

Same with Nim. It works surprisingly well with AI tools. I think both have more straightforward syntax so it’s easy to generate. I’m curious how more complex languages do like C++ / Rust. Last time I tried C++ with Copilot it was terri

Seems like a “lithium fire box” or perhaps fireproof bag capable of containing lithium fires and smothering them would become standard on planes. Most personal electronics are fairly small as well.
