The old Skype client using Qt was similar to a Slack using a classic GUI framework. Compared to Slack it was barebones. You had a list of conversations and a view for the conversations themselves. I'm not saying it's bad; I'd

You can add Flutter to this list which is becoming a viable option for desktop UIs. The downside is Dart, but that's not so different from picking Pascal/Delphi just for its UI framework.

Chromium is the best UI toolkit ever created. What exactly are the arguments against Electron? It's slow to render? Wrong, Electron (Chromium) renders faster than Qt. The Skia engine is optimized to an extent that these other toolkits

I seem to remember a lot of Windows programs back in the day were webviews (backed by IE of course) and it was the most horrible unprofessional looking thing, especially when an Alert would pop up which revealed it was just an IE page. Webv

All the money this guy donates is just going to be added to the CEO's salary If you really love MDN or whatever then why not fork it and pay for hosting its competitor. Just import all the pages to Mediawiki and put it up online.

If they had a problem with the walled garden they wouldn't buy it. Say "walled garden" to the average iPhone owner and they'll say "So? That's a good thing".

I got a Raspberry Pi 4 and naively thought that because it was ARM it used little power and didn't need fans. In a few weeks the board melted and now won't turn on. Was only running a few programs.

The national institutions you speak of are the ones doing the exploitation. I wouldn't lose any sleep if they'll have to cut back on droning villages or putting poor people in prison because Bitcoin disrupted their funding.

My hope is that some centimillionaires and maybe billionaires will convert all their cash to BTC when a wealth tax comes. That's one possible scenario for 100k or higher.

It's not, the dominant currency on darknet is still Bitcoin. Even Litecoin is more used than Monero. Criminals are stupid.

For a regular user to use Lightning, they would have to run an always-online instance of lnd--a very memory-intensive Go program that also requires a Bitcoin fullnode (300GB) or the experimental Neutrino light node either of which also has

It's using features of the language. Is that not what this is meant to measure/compare? .NET has unsafe, SIMD, and value types which opens it to a whole world of programming that Java is currently unsuited for.
