If you're talking about wear then my gut feeling says that a larger wheel would be far more robust than three smaller wheels (with additional axis for the combination). Especially when you're using this on streets with uneven pavement I think a larger wheel would be better.

It's not magic sauce, it's a counter-point to the "Electron gives you cross platform deployments" argument.

Yes, there are many GUI toolkits, the LCL creates native applications while some others do not, but it's certainly not the only one.

It's the one I prefer so I use it as an example over QT, Swing, JavaFX, etc.

Lazarus form builder let's you create forms very quickly and easy, and OS themed design.

If you want other types of GUI designs you can do that too, though personally I prefer standard OS design.

As far as static grids and square components, I think you're looking at old stuff..

You can make things as squiggly as you like, and of course you can always use images and colors to design your GUI and let your imagination run wild, and it'll look entirely non-native.

Responsive design isn't that challenging either, use anchors and smart design.

I don't have any examples of desktop applications I've made, that look like web-apps, no, but I might make some after you giving me this idea, and I'll be doing it with FPC/Lazarus.

Yes, it's a mixed bag with some things better and others worse. But having a great JavaScript engine with the JIT enabled is pretty important for many applications.

But breaking up the browser into different processes and communicating via messages and sharing textures in GPU memory between processes (IOSurface, GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES, etc) is the inextricable direction of progress, what all the browsers are doing now, and why for example Firefox had to make so many old single-process XP-COM xulrunner plug-ins obsolete.

> All else being equal, native apps will always be better.

I didn't write this wasn't true; I wrote this didn't matter.

Edit: to expand on this a bit: sure, most of the throwaway Electron applications won't have much life in them. But they'll suck the oxygen out of the room and kill everything else first, then fail. So if there was any livelihood staked on those superior native apps you made — well, those people are looking for jobs now. Hope all of them have it as easy as a young software developer.

> Much of this money is spent in the very nations, especially in the Middle East, that have significant populations that chant "Death to America" every time a television camera is around, then when the news crews go away, return to eating food supplied by the U.S. government.

Are you meaning to imply that donating food should buy the U.S. some kind of credit allowance to conduct drone strikes that kill mainly civilians? In many cases, the food they're donating is needed in the first place because of actions the U.S. themselves participates in, see the genocide in Yemen for example.

Also, it's funny that you mention DTA chants, but forget that there are plenty of lawmakers in the U.S. spewing similar rhetoric. After the attack in Iran, the response in the U.S. was basically "they deserved it".

Neither of them are normal, but they're not the same thing. The allegation is that BamBrogan was the target in the noose incident, and there is some security footage which seems to corroborate it. In the axe incident BamBrogan allegedly took the axe to the office wall. That's pretty crazy but so far nobody has claimed he was trying to intimidate somebody else. In this case it's maybe interesting to note that it wasn't just any axe, but rather "The CEO [BamBrogan] had built the axe at Jeff Bezos’ MARS conference this past spring." [1]

The guy definitely seems flamboyant, but that's not the same as unstable. I mean he might be unstable too, but I don't think one can draw that conclusion from the reporting.

Right. In other words, if you `import` a file with that line, it should crash. If you `require` the file, it will do nothing. The context can determine the file type unambiguously, and you don't need an extension.

> This was discussed, but one of our goals is to be able to know what type of file something is before reading its contents.

The file extension came from an earlier plan where `require` and `import` could be used on both types of Javascript. Now that the plan uses `import` only for modules and `require` only for scripts, you can get rid of the extension.

> our ESM implementation, unlike CJS, doesn't assume that everything it uses comes from the local fs.

Node is `import`ing from HTTP, it can use content-type like browsers do. This is only a problem for local file systems, which don't have content-type. For that, you can just assume everything is a module. If people need to load CJS, they can use `require` (as the proposal above already says).

Bare import specifiers like `import { foo } from 'lodash'` aren't URI's, so you don't need to maintain compatibility with the browser. For this, you can just use the existing [package.json/module](https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki/pkg.module) field to determine whether to enter the ESM world or the CJS world.

I know Node rejected the package.json solution back when they were trying to make `import` and `require` interchangeable, but now that they aren't, I think the original performance worries should no longer apply.

Joke aside though, I think this is an artifact of old school web development, which was a mess. People didn’t mind these kinds of hacks. But the number of people willing to accept such incongruities is going to go down in the next years as web development has now normalized into more sane practices that are standard in the software development world.

It matters. Projects that don't support IE ≤11 could ship ES Modules to the browser today. However, you can't ship most code that's written as "es modules" because this code is typically written for a transpiler rather than a real runtime modules environment.

Some of this is a limitation in browsers, like support for bare module specifiers. That is, you should be able to write code like `import {foldl} from 'lodash';`. Work is underway to support this in the browser without requiring multiple round trips to the server to guess where 'lodash' should be loaded from: https://github.com/domenic/import-maps
I am completely clueless and confused.

I’m 23 yr old working in a dead end job at Oracle. Each day of my work just makes me feel more drained and irrelevant. I’m unable to change company because of visa (I’m on l1). I am split between changing the team or leaving USA for London/India for good.

Leaving USA is a risky career proposition - which also pulls me towards doing a masters so that I can stay in US few more years and work on OPT without restrictions. However my friends who are currently pursuing masters are not getting jobs easily, which makes me wonder again. All these worries never give me enough time to pursue my dream of enterprenuership and starting up something seriously.

So many considerations, so many thoughts and a very confusing year ahead for me.

A lisp implementation is cute and can be a nice teaching aid but is slower than desirable for practical applications.

What I would really like to see is a reasonably short (small code size) but reasonably optimized (for an arbitrary machine that might run a browser) Web Assembly implementation of a power-of-2 FFT, possibly compiled down from another language, e.g. C or Rust. Throw in an implementation of Bluestein’s non-power-of-2 FFT for bonus points.

The existing Javascript implementations I have seen are much slower than they could be if a serious expert took a crack at it, while the existing compiled-to-Javascript or -wasm implementations weren’t originally designed with the web as a target, and tend to be bloated monsters.

Because the Chinese state run website is accessible from, say, an Apple iPhone running iOS/Safari. It is probably intended to be accessible from ISPs outside the country. It is developed on Windows computers and hosted on Linux servers, which probably run a server stack that's a combination of open-source modules and proprietary glue.

Granted, your Chinese state-run website is probably more control-oriented than a hypothetical SV startup which consists entirely of connecting VC money to external microservices with a little copy added in by machine-parsing a slide deck...
The argument I heard, at least from Netflix, was that it basically forced users to discover content they wouldn’t otherwise.

I'm not sure it qualifies as an "invention", but they definitely do some incredible work. They're able to pull off full API emulations for things like Steam, Origin and even emulate UWP to a degree that allows applications to be run outside of the traditional UWP system. Professional reversers often use tools developed by crackers - things like x64dbg, ImpRec, unpacking scripts, etc are indispensable.

Many women published research under pseudonyms in the past, for example Sophie Germain:

So I'd argue that many past inventions that are credited to men might actually have been achieved by women scientists publishing under their husbands / colleagues / friends name as a pseudonym.

In Paris I once saw an original print of Marie Curie's book on radioactivity, where her name is given as "Mme Pierre Curie". This probably shows how difficult it was even then to get something published under your own name as a woman (Cover and autor info here: https://www.amazon.fr/Radioactivit%C3%A9-1-Madame-Pierre-Cur...).

Wrong. The United States is inexorably in conflict nations whose domestic policy failures cause them to act in often violent ways that threaten US interests. If academia adopted Kuipers' position we would be no closer to peace, and much closer to living under another country's tyranny. Ask the people of Tibet as just one example.

One improvement is that if you're in the app, the mystery meat to look for if the concentric circles with a triangle on the bottom. That is the secret code for selecting the output source, which allows connecting to the AirPods.

I'd be mostly ok with this if:

1) it connected reliably when selecting the AirPods, and

2) pairing only took 2-3 seconds, rather than 10-15 seconds. 10-15 seconds is far too long for electronic devices to waste of a human's attention, especially for something that happens several times a day.

There is much too much consternation over ASI, it really is much ado about nothing. I worked for a couple years on a team that didn't use semicolons and it wasn't a problem, it just didn't come up. Even if you were really fearful of those spooky edge cases we all hear so much about, you can just lint for them.

Much else here is good, but I'd again disagree about function scoping. And I wouldn't say `this` is a minor problem, it's a gigantic disaster and probably the worst part of the language, especially for those just learning.
No, as you'd learn if you tried to find counter-examples for the cases I mentioned. Computer systems commonly treat terms which differ only in case as separate values but humans almost always try to do the opposite. People have preferences for proper usage but that's quite different from treating alternate case values as separate because people try to recognize the intention even if it's poorly expressed.

> The early bird may get the worm, but the early worm gets eaten.

This makes no sense. All worms get eaten randomly because all worms have to surface at the same time. Earliness and lateness don't change the chance you will be eaten by the early birds. But the original phrase is true that the early bird gets the worm because it shows up in the window the worms are all surfacing and the late bird misses the window and goes hungry. Leave the original phrase intact and maybe ditch the added second part.
