Yeah, especially those two boosters landing simultaneously - I still have a smile on my face :)
I'm really curious why anyone would want to do this. You'll almost surely arrive at something equally slow and awkward as Electron, but without the cutting edge interpreter, accessibility, or text support...

Chromes rendering engine is objectively better than Qt's for an awful lot of things.

What you may win back is a gig of ram that wasn't really being used anyways...
Speaking as someone who has a lot of experience with people who don't apologize in their immediate family, apologies do one thing and do it well. They de-escalate situations in which honest mistakes have been made, and decrease resentment over time for those mistakes. People who don't apologize create the impression that they don't actually care about other peoples' feelings, and guess what: we notice that.
Doubt the incentive would be worth the cost... $1mm for something that might take $100m in R/D and resources to accomplish.
Does a citizen have any legal recourse or entitled to compensation if a citizen's house was raided multiple times on false pretenses or a fabricated warrant by these fine upstanding officers (The ones being indicted)? I'm asking for a friend.. :-/
Hah, They Did It :) That makes me so happy. What an incredible space ballet.
In a hundred million years, someone or something is going to find that car and be really confused.
I’m willing to admit that even as a 40 year old man I still cried when she cleared the tower. That was beautiful.
What happened to the center 1st stage though?
did the CORE land as well? And what about the Roadster? They did not show those.
Reminder that Lance Reddick's character in The Wire made his money stealing from drug dealers. This fact was later used to blackmail him into resigning as Police Commissioner when they threatened to use the info to derail his estranged wife's political career.
LastPass does this as well to input fields. Made it unusable for me. Haven't used a password manager since (was a couple of years ago). Has this problem been solved well recently?
There was something doubly awesome about the two falcons landing at the same time right next to each other!
And both boosters landed simultaneously!

That was seriously impressive to watch. Congratulations to all the SpaceX engineers who made this a reality.
In my case, it was Electron's startup performance that made me go for PyQt [1].

What a show indeed. Incredible.

They showed the roadster, no news on the center core yet it seems.

That was incredible. Watching the double landing of the boosters I couldn't help but feel like we live in the future. It was actually a little emotional.
They did show the Roadster, it's in space now. The cameras on the drone ship cut out so they're still waiting to find out if CORE landed.

The two boosters landing simultaneously was breathtaking. Photo: https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/960980119312453632
Watching those boosters land side-by-side made me question my reality. Beautiful.
Wow, just witnessed history. The landing of the Falcons was seriously thrilling. David Bowie coming on as the payload headed towards its destination got me, have to say.

Congrats to everyone here from SpaceX – what an accomplishment.
I. Am. Just. Speechless.

Perfect takeoff, 2 simultaneous landings (still waiting for confirmation on the droneship landing), the car is in orbit.

I don't remember being so nervous watching a launch video since... Space Shuttle missions, I think.

Great job, SpaceX!

So what about the core?
Impressive! But what happened to the core?
Yeah I was going to mention my 2560k, which has been running at 4.3ghz for the longest time now. 7 years? Something like that.

With 16gb of memory, a Samsung 850 Pro and a NVIDIA 980, this PC which is now my spare / 7 year old son's is still going very strong indeed.
That was really impressive. Does anyone know what happened to the core? Seemed to lose feed to the drone ship.
any link to the center core landing video?
Absolutely amazing. Just watched it live, gave me goosebumps. Although:

"SpaceX also attempted a recovery of all three of the first stage boosters it used during the launch. It has recovered two of those thus far, and we’re waiting to hear back from SpaceX on the official status of the final, third booster, which was landing at sea."
Anybody saw the 'Don't panic' thing on the Tesla? Made me chuckle, they sure have a sense of humor.
Can confirm this was the greatest thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

https://youtu.be/AGPH_i0ZlyM?t=56
That was like watching a sci fi film when the two cores landed.... I watched it with my mother (who is 80!), and she said it was as significant as the moon landing.

Do we know the fate of the centre core yet?
The stream cut out before they were able to report on the main engine recovery. Anyone have more info?

still waiting for CORE to land but ohh boy..was that awesome to see both the boosters land together at the same time.
It depends what you mean by "heavy", but the common example is something like thread-per-request or implementing async IO using threads that make blocking calls.

In those context threads are primary "heavy" because each thread needs a dedicated stack, so there is a pretty low limit on the total number of threads you can have based on your available memory, so you run into scaling limitations whenever you'd naturally want to have 100 of thousands or millions of such threads.

The CPU use of context switches is a secondary factor there and probably pales compared to IO costs - and some competing designs also have context switch costs.

Threads were also heavy in the sense that if they are OS scheduled, the behavior often degrades with large numbers of threads, depending on the implementation. Recent scheduler designs are mostly able to mitigate this, however.
I hope the main core landed successfully too.
Absolutely amazing, we watched science-fiction today.

Anyone knows what happened to the core booster?
One of those "this must be the future" moments for sure. I'm really amazed that there is a Tesla Roadster on its way to Mars at this point. That blows my mind.
For some time both streams looked like they were the same. That synchronization!
Cried proud human tears today.

Even if the droneship didn't work out...
Thanks, but I wouldn't say "a little big laggy". I am not exaggerating when I say every app takes ten seconds to load.

I actually measured them and that's the average time it took for all apps to load after I updated to iOS 11 (Before iOS11 it loaded immediately).

If you can sympathize with me because you have more recent phones, please try to close your eyes and count to ten and imagine, hopefully that may give you an idea of how frustrating it is for peasants like us.

Those rockets landing at the same time beats any scene in any sci-fi movie ever made
Yeah, that makes sense. Apologizing for genuine mistakes that have consequences for others, that makes sense.
I don't care if they don't call out their coworkers as long as they don't help cover their bad behavior.

It seems Sciter[0] is another alternative to Electron for those who aren't too keen on Electron's
resource usage but still want to use HTML, Js and CSS for their UI.

I haven't used it personally but they appear to have a few notable clients.
Seems they also have popular language bindings[1] (Go, Python, Rust etc...).

It's not opensource though so that could be a deal-breaker for some but licensing/pricing[2] isn't prohibitive.

Has anybody here on HN used this before? Care to share your experience with it?

That was thrilling. An incredible accomplishment. The first time in my life I thought I had an inkling of what it had been like to watch the Moon landings.
That was absolutely insane.

When I saw that, all I could think about was seeing hundreds of those and that scene being as mundane as a plane landing.

>A friend of mine grew up in East Baltimore. They would sit outside on their stoop, because the parents didn't want them inside, and there was no place to play outside other than in the street - no playgrounds, no trees, no parks, no back yards. Sometimes cops would roll up on their corner, get out, and question them about what they were doing. "We're sitting." They were told to empty their pockets. If they had any money on them, the police would confiscate it and drive off.

Same experience I've had. I currently still live here. My zip code has a lower life expectancy than Yemen,and North Korea.
Proof that it could have gone to mars but also in a very stable orbit with little chance of hitting an object and infecting it with human biology that is on the tesla.
So what's left to confirm?
Apologies are not always needed. When you really mess up its usually pretty obvious and saying youre sorry doesnt do all that much. "Sorry I introduced a bug that causes the system to crash once a week" doesn't really help anyone, of course you're going to be sorry. I heard this from someone and it stuck with me: "Don't apologize, fix it."

Edit: I made a mistake while writing this, I am trying to say be objective about your mistakes but many people took that to mean don't admit your mistakes. I should have been more specific with my terminology.

You need pyqt5 installed. Then just do "python filename.py".
Apologizing is only selfish until you want one yourself. Then they can be extremely meaningful.

The culture of over-apologizing should not be confused with the ability to admit serious mistakes and acknowledge their impact--this is simply accepting responsibility in a social context.

This doesn't add much to the conversation unless you care to explain how a social interaction can be reduced to a character flaw in all cases.
The booster landings were incredible, however, the initial shot of it clearing the pad looked like a scifi movie intro.
Amazing to see. Hard to imagine if not for Musk, we'd be stuck with ULA garbage and a realistic Mars tripped planned for 2050+
Thanks! Social features are definitively in our radar.
It feels like the human race is starting to master space travel. It's probably just an illusion, but I feel like we're entering a new era.
Open a chapter about "History of the 21st century" and this image will be there.
It was so captivating to watch the launch production. Just watching this test launch you can see how SpaceX is recapturing the hearts and minds of the world and generating the same level of wonder that NASA did in it's hay-day. It's a proud day in annals of mankind and engineering. What an absolute feat. Congratulations to everyone on the team at SpaceX.
It's unbelievable how precise the landings were: https://imgur.com/570TgAI
They were the same. In the end you could see both of them heading for the same landing pad before they cut to fullscreen.
The Telsa with a spacesuit in it reminds me of the opening scene of the 1979 Heavy Metal corvette re-entry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWMPe3wF9jQ
Pretty sure they were, as at the very end they both dial into the same landing pad.
Yet another incredible show from SpaceX. At this point, if they said they were going to build a football stadium on Europa, my only question would be when does it open.

But I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that they can launch a massive rocket on the first try and land (at least) 2 cores, but the camera STILL cuts out on the drone ship.
You mean you have an iPhone 6 and it's working fine on iOS 11 with a clean install?

That's a good news then, maybe I should reset everything and reinstall to see if that works.
If you look at the footage closely you see that they used the same footage for both boosters. Nevertheless, the landing was superb.

edit: https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s
I print so rarely, that about half of what I do print is A3.

If I don't want to read the thing on a screen, then doubling its size is often useful.

But, for metric sizes, two consecutive sizes could be supported. A4 would print landscape, and A3 portrait. The large photocopier-like printer at work does this.
I'm just an amateur following along, but this seems likely to be one of the most important launches in modern rocketry history. This sets the stage for deep-space missions with reusable launch materials, which can greatly reduce the cost of future space exploration. Absolutely incredible achievement by the SpaceX team.
Absolutely outstanding! Incredible footage watching the simultaneous landings!
Landmark achievement
It got a little dusty in my house when those two boosters landed. I think someone was cutting onions too.
It seems SpaceX has even perfected its tests to the point that their simulations are doing an amazing job at predicting real life situations. Great job on spaceX. Today History was made, and the new generation of children is inspired to choose space-focused careers
Man, the lift off, separation, landing, and don't panic sugared with Bowie. How great was it to witness that?
Unbelievable. The simultaneous booster landings were incredibly impressive feat. Outstanding launch and spectacular landings!

Is the core designed to be reusable or is that a one-time-use part?

> they're still waiting to find out if CORE landed

They most certainly had another set of eyes next to the drone ship, so they already know. It's just us who's waiting to find it out.
They were the same. Don't know if they did this intentionally. I actually watched them for two minutes for that, and was 99% sure they're the same image, just translated a bit. The final confirmation came near the end, when the other booster entered the view, and you could see for sure, both rectangles streamed from the same camera.
Seeing both boosters land side-by-side was absolutely an epic moment. Showing Star Man in the Tesla Roadster with the text displaying "Don't Panic" was just amazing. Very grateful that SpaceX allows us to join in on the excitement. I can't wait to see what comes next!
I guess this works by keeping the connexion alive and streaming packets of data, taking advantage of the browsers capacity to render HTML before the whole source is actually loaded.

OP?
Surely there could be a laywer on the vast world wide web.
Here are some easy ones, none of which fall foul of your complaints:

1) You do something you thought was right and then afterward, someone explains something that makes you realize it was wrong.

2) You happen to not be a robot, and you let emotion, thoughtlessness, carelessness, etc get the best of you temporarily, perhaps because you're distracted or tired or stressed. In a later moment of clarity, you realize that you disagree with your behavior and you make that clear to the other person.

Apologies serve a pretty significant functional purpose. They're a relatively costly emotional signal to someone that you are aware that what you did was wrong and will try to avoid it going forward.

Note that this is why apologies tend to be more relevant with those you have an existing relationship with: with strangers, it's both easier to fake sincerity and it'd never checked that your following behavior is consistent, so the signal is a lot less costly and thus less useful.
The announcer addressed this, he said that he footage was not the same but looked similar because of the proximity of the boosters to each other. I think they were just extremely well choreographed. If you watched the side view from the landing pad they landed at almost exactly the same time.
Cars are of course the dominant life form on earth. Shame it wasn't a Ford Prefect
reusable of course.
I do find that super weird. You would think one of the nearby ships would have a feed as well no?
Make a Big Impact with Little Things
The whole reason for apologies is emotional: person who was hurt feels a relief knowing that the offender understands their mistake, regrets it and intents to avoid similar behaviour in future. Offender feels a little better knowing that the victim does not hold a grudge and does not intend any revenge.

Of course if neither victim nor offender felt any human emotions then apology would make no sense to them.
The core was supposed to land on the barge, but the video footage got disconnected and they said they don't know what happened to it yet.
They were not the same video feed.

I wonder for how long we're going to get images from that tesla. there's no power source so the stream will end, but it does sit next some very huge batteries so let's hope it's going to last and we'll be able to check with the spaceman every now and then!

Alex Warth of HARC has a new Dynamicland-inspired repo called roomdb https://github.com/alexwarth/roomdb
Have you ever designed an application with Qt Designer or Delphi for that matter? Both are literally drag and drop. You can make a first mock-up of a application in a few minutes.

I have developed some larger Qt applications and in each case there are at most a couple dozen of lines with platform-specific code. Qt abstracts away most of the platform differences.

For me ‘good looking UIs and UI patterns’ means: well integrated in the platform and accessible. Electron apps fail miserably in both departments.
They were not, I've watched closely and right before slowdown burn, attitude engines were firing a little late on one. It was only parts of a second, but clearly visible if you watched closely.
Any news on the core?
In general I agree, but the Cliven Bundy incident showed that there can be inconsistencies in what they support.
What an amazing feat! Well done SpaceX. Hope the core made it too!
So the car is supposed to be in an Earth-Mars orbit. It it stable or is it designed to fall to earth at some point soon (say one or two orbits)?
Finally a story I can say something to. Granted, the article isn't very informative, but to me it is a nicely written depiction of what happens when you drop WhatsApp. I can imagine the decision is not a dramatic one when living in a region in which WhatsApp is less used. Where I live however (central Europe), presenting the thought of not using WhatsApp purposely gives you weird stares.

As the author states, there are no real alternatives. In theory, WhatsApp can be replaced by lots of other applications. I settled for Wire, as I would choose an application that makes use of the Signal protocol while also having an open source client + server over WhatsApp any time of the day. In practice, few want to even consider using something that is not WhatsApp. I managed to convince some close friends to install Wire alongside WhatsApp (can't have unencrypted SMS as my only communications channel), but it took some convincing and privacy aware ethics rambling (if that makes sense) to achieve that. I can't imagine any somewhat sane person wanting to bother with so much trouble when branching out to alternative solutions. This particular sentiment from the article especially couldn't ring any more true:

"At the beginning, I often felt isolated and as if I had abandoned friends. Some contacts ebbed away, while I had to withstand the odd awkward look of disbelief and discontent from others when I explained that I did not use WhatsApp."

I can understand the convenience gain by using WhatsApp over regular SMS. That convenience is hardly unparalled nowadays though, the one thing that keeps people chained to WhatsApp is it's ubiquity, in the sense that every person you meet will quite likely have WhatsApp installed (do note that I'm saying this as part of a somewhat younger demographic).

I find this quite sad. My motivation for switching was simple, I didn't want to take part in any business Facebook sticks their fingers in. Whether Facebook uses all the metadata they get through WhatsApp, and for which (possibly nefarious) purposes is irrelevant, they've been shown to make unscrupulous use of data that should be private in order to conduct social experiments and whatnot a long time ago [1]. Am I in the wrong for trying to be mindful about the usage of my, very personal, data? I really hope I am not.

First time poster here, sorry if this sort of anecdotal evidence doesn't fit the type of content that is usually posted on here.

Also, what a funny way to send an article off.

I'd argue the old stuff is better, not simply "good enough" vs. Electron etc. What have we gotten in exchange for the crap performance and extra RAM usage? Pretty animations? I don't need those; in fact they're distracting and annoying. You absolutely can make "pretty", complex UIs in native/cross-platform toolkits, and personally I find them much nicer to work with than the horror show that is HTML/JS/CSS.

I get that Electron brings benefits: it's dirt-easy to build something that'll run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, without having to know a bunch of platform-specific details, and if you already have a webapp, you can leverage a lot of that work, but in the end it just feels to me like people cutting corners. You get a sub-standard app, but you don't have to pay developers to build for each platform plus the web. Which I think is a perfectly reasonable business trade off to make; I'm just not happy with the result as a user.
