"No native Windows support" should be written in all caps at the beginning of the article. This is a dealbreaker for most developers working on Windows, and this project will never take off until it treats Windows as a first-class

Many modules, especially a lot of specialized modules that are not available on PyPI and do not provide wheels, have complex installation steps, including compiling C libraries etc. There is nothing foundamentally wrong with this kind of us

My understanding is that nobody dares to do that -- Apple is likely to immediately terminate their employment if they found out about it

Nah. Show me evidence it is "solved".

Most laptops become e-waste after a few years. Want an example? Macbooks before 2017 which no longer get any more major system updates and run as slow as turtle compared to the latest ones.

Come on, there is no way you can keep your face straight and say a $1,200 laptop is not a "premium" laptop. Who are you kidding? An average college student from a common middle class family is definitely NOT going to purchase this

Define "use the platform" Do you know that almost every "share on Facebook" button on a random news article/blog post collects data from you, if you don't have strong privacy protection enabled? That means even

Sorry, the one who is living in a bubble is you. I wouldn't be surprised if over 80% of Google employees support abortion rights. There are many ways to show that Google employees (or generally in the tech industry) are much more liber

I don't think anyone antitrust is relevant at all in this discussion. Nobody would think that Google Talk/Chat/Whatever is remotely close to being scrutinized by government agencies.

If you had even the shallowest understanding of what Einstein's contributions to physics are, you wouldn't make such comments... He literally got his Nobel prize for photoelectric effect in 2021.

"Proprietary software is immoral in general" LOL. I always wonder what kind of people say that kind of thing? Who are these people on hacker news? Do they live in a real world? Do they ever use Windows/Mac, Office/Google

LOL. Have you actually used Baidu? It is trash. Results are full of heavily SEO-ed sites and sites that grab other websites' content and present as if it's their own. I say this as someone who has used Baidu for many years, includ

When I looked at toolbar, I was reminded of GIMP, the UI of which is such a nightmare that I would not use it even if someone pays me to do so. It's just TOO crowded. And the contrast is terrible in the dark mode. Please, launch OneNot

...Of course, you need to do professional data manipulation (whether in Python or with a real database) for 200k rows of data. Excel is never meant for handling that amount of information

Enough of such comments. Obviously you have never worked much in the front end or the web user experience, and don't understand the complexity or the difficulty of such technologies. Anyone saying "things were fine in 1995" i

This is ridiculous. Handling real threads is much more complicated than handling async calls and the event loop of JavaScript.

Wait, why don't do that? What's the point?

There is some validity in the idea itself, but I am pretty sure there is no way to actually make it work.

Telemetry can be very easily turned off. It would take less time for you to Google "how to turn off VSCode telemetry" and finish it than writing this comment. This is ridiculous.

Why should a user infer anything? This is simply bad user experience. A person who uses Windows may be confused but they can only be sure after reaching the bottom of the page. Not to mention it is not rare that a multi-platform application
