Pure html/css rendering. JS support could be addressed trivially in the build system by transpiling anything unsupported by the oldest likely target.

Nothing flat out broke, but I am developing and dogfooding on a Mac, so I get visual QA for free on that platform. When I tested my app on a Windows machine, I noticed several UI regressions that looked/felt really janky. I didn't

The promise of Electron is the version of chrome you develop on is the version that ships with your app. If it looks right on your machine, it looks right on whoever is running it. This is much nicer than when doing web development and deci

I recently went the other way (started a project in Tauri, moved to Electron) because of frustration with rendering differences between the web views employed on different platforms. Have you run into any cross platform UI bugs since you sw

My favorite part about that quote is the broken symmetry between the double meaning of the second sentence and the single meaning of the first. It begs one to consider the possibility of little “time flies” snacking on arrows. Which I guess

Reminds me of a line by Douglas Adams describing some particularly crude alien invaders: “The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.” He could have written something like: “The blocky ships hovered seemingly in defian

Looks like they've figured out the tile format. Haven't grokked the whole codebase, but this seems to be the code for parsing out the data: https://github.com/afwbkbc/glsmac/blob/55fc7204760742514916

I thought the same. There are a ton of nerds (I count myself among them) who loved this game in its day and would happily take a crack at programmatically extracting these data points.

Minor note: the overage from $19k isn’t auto-taxed, it is just recorded and counts against your $14M-ish lifetime gift tax exemption (also relevant for estate tax). In this case, he obviously blows past that limit quickly.

You are not denying food to the parents, you are denying food to the children. They did not choose to be born, and they certainly didn’t choose the fiscal responsibility of their parents. Maybe there is room in there to shame the parents or

I’m not excusing this bug. There are several poor decisions that went into this issue, but my contention is that using electron (with the resulting 250mb bundle) is not one of them. You should probably not roll your own auto-updater. If you

I go into more detail in a sibling comment, but Tauri does not provide a standardized web runtime. The webview you get depends on your OS and OS version. They’re all “WebKit”, but definitely do not all render the same. I have built a Tauri

Different versions of electron bundle different versions of chromium. There can/will be rendering differences between them. Tauri is an alternative framework that uses whatever web view the OS provides, saving ~200mb bundle size. On Ma

That is… surprising. I’d actually seen this project before because the author did a nice write up on using React portal to portal into electron windows[1], which is something I decided to do in my app. I’d just assumed his was a cross platf

That’s pretty much the floor for an Electron app. If you’re a small shop or solo dev, it is real hard to justify going native on three platforms when electron gives it for (near) free. And outside of HN, no one seems to blink at a 250MB bun

The chatter around vibe coding to me feels a lot like the late 90s early 2000s FUD around outsourcing. Who would pay a high-cost American engineer when you could get 10 in South Asia for the same price? Media was forecasting an irreversible

I think the idea is you can buy old stamp collections for less than face value. E.g. this collection of 8000 stamps is $75: https://www.ebay.com/itm/396477663178 Looking at the pictures, many are more than $.01 value.

The old-guard republicans were neo-cons. They championed things like free trade and projecting soft power through international institutions that are antithetical to the modern right. The fact that the US only has “two parties” obscures the

I’ve been seeing more of this classist rhetoric on HN and I honestly don’t get it. If you truly care about workers, focus your energy on the corporations and politicians that are producing the system you are unhappy with. Belittling other,

My takeaway from this is you can use the IRS as a CD that pays 7% per year! Reading through the blog post it seems like you could overpay your taxes by $10k, immediately amend your return, and get your money back with 7% interest a year lat

To be clear, I’m not saying your or anyone else’s life is “nice.” I’m saying that however nice (or not) your life currently is, it will be worse. Those goods at Walmart will cost 30% more and still be equally threadbare. You’re mixing two t

I think in this case the candidate didn’t even know enough to embellish the resume unassisted. Their nonsense response on rate limiting showed that they had no idea why you would rate limit or under what circumstances. Ditto for paginating
