A follow-up comment in the response above addresses your question. It's a situation online, not in a workplace.

However, it is similar to what I tend to notice at work more and more, with a small number of employees having major negative impact while the majority stays silent and does nothing.

Humans are good at dealing with crisis when it's apparent and happens quickly as it triggers our fight or flight response. This crisis I think is slow, which we are notoriously bad at mitigating (case in point: climate change). This means that we could expect seeing major resistance once the situation becomes intolerable even to otherwise agreeable people. My fear is when this happens, irreversible damage to fundamental freedoms will already be done and we'll be back to the cycle of bad times -> struggle -> good times.

On top of that, at least in EU, the regulation has gone further, and major shareholders of private companies now need to be identified publicly.

I'll caveat this by having only experience of this from my own European country of residence, which had to put this regulation in place due to EEA requirements.

In my curious search for lighter Electron alternatives to implement Zoho Writer's (https://writer.zoho.com) desktop app: I found Sciter[1]

It supports multiplatform app development with HTML/JS/CSS and the entire engine's runtime is just about 5MB which is unbelievably small!

I further analysed how this was possible, what I found was beyond fascinating.

1. The author has wrote a compiler that supports JS with useful extensions like classes and fancy stuff, even before ES6 came into existence.

2. He had built his own layouting engine that understands HTML and CSS 3.0

Basically he's built a custom browser engine, but custom tailored for writing multi-platform apps. So it's super-fast without as much memory taxes. It's not backed by a BigCo or a huge community (I guess) and I'm not sure whether I'll pick it for a business critical app. But the way it's architected seems far superior than the shortcut approaches that Electron or most other alternatives take.

The project is not even new. It's more than a decade old which itself is amazing.

> The usual problem is that you have to either use an antiquated IE based webview on Windows or install the Microsoft Edge runtime.

Windows 10/11 both ship with Edge by default, so however big of a problem that is _now_ (probably depends a lot on your target market), it certainly will progressively be a smaller problem over time. Windows 10 was released almost 7 years ago, so while there are undoubtably some corps stuck with windows 8 as their standard, most of the world should've moved on at this point I'd think.
So, just as the person you replied to said, nothing approved and usable in clinical settings.
Ask HN: Why is Chromium a memory hog? Why can't we fix it?
Hoping someone with some architectural knowledge of Chromium can jump in here. I am mainly asking out of curiosity, as other browsers don't seem to suffer from memory bloat in the same order of magnitude.

So, what is it about Chromium that causes it to suck up so much memory? What is difficult about fixing this?

As a further niche, I'm also interested in this from Electron's PoV.
That depends on the types. You can have something as basic as "int", something a bit more complex like arrays, or something even more complex like GADTs https://v2.ocaml.org/manual/gadts.html
Serious question: at what point does grave robbing become archaeology?

I'll be irked if someone 1000 years from now unearths my carefully lain grave, inspects its contents, and picks apart my bones. The typical response is "you'll be dead, what do you care" but I think that's trivializing a lot of deeply held feelings.
>...The changes have to be kept so that if we say revert to a certain commit, all the translations match with the texts of headers, buttons, etc...

The mentioned .zip file is to be kept in the repo. Instead of a whatever number of individual .xlf files per generation, these would get zipped together (say, 'assets/xlf.zip') before the commit and the resulting .zip added to the commit.

Similarly, when reverting or on a checkout, it's the .zip that gets checked out and then the .xlf files are unpacked.

The packing/unpacking could be done by the same process that handles the .xlf generation (??build).

Also this may be automated by git-hooks, though it's more natural to handle the packing of assets during the build stage.

One of the things I'm starting to notice from cases like this, is that it seems like the current state of things is:

- State & local government is a preemptively over-regulated system, putting up tons of obstacles before you can get something accomplished. Examples: flurry of permits, NIMBYism, etc

- Federal government is a retroactively under-regulated system, where the actual regulation occurs after some/much of the damage has already been done. Examples: regulation of antitrust/anti-competitive practices that come sometimes years after the acts began.

In the 1st case, accomplishing beneficial things is too slow. In the 2nd case, preventing bad things is too slow.
> Every soccer league is on a different provider.

Over here in europe you need multiple providers for the same competition since the rights are split. Champions League football (as in soccer) requires a Sky, DAZN and Amazon Prime subscription if you want to see all matches (of your favorite club). Same thing with most domestic leagues.
I'm hoping at least you acknowledge this is _your_ problem, rather than a tooling problem or the like. You just can't expect everything to give you immediate feedback after a couple seconds.

This is something that's really a degradation of the newer generations of engineers, since I clearly remember the time where these "somethings" would never take less than a couple minutes, and people did not immediately flee to their nearest distraction, but actually planned their time around it. In fact, if you go further back, these "somethings" would have taken hours, and the older generations still got work done.
This assumes that the entire company is “in on it” when the simplest answer is that the devs who work there wanted something but the core IDE team couldn’t add it directly so told them to make an extension.

At least that’s how it usually works when you end up with something like this — I work at Automattic and when we want a new feature on WordPress.com, it usually starts as a plugin that gets activated on every site in a mandatory sort of way.

Indeed. Here I took a random sample from https://github.com/topics/rust and listed the amount of dependencies from running `cargo tree` (full command: `cargo tree | awk 'NF' | wc -l`)

- denoland/deno (nodejs-like runtime) - 1550

- alacritty/alacritty (Terminal) - 303

- sharkdp/bat (`cat` clone) - 249

- meilisearch/meilisearch (search engine) - 1128

- starship/starship (command line prompt) - 427

- swc-project/swc (JS/TS compiler) - 1869

- AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy (Notion clone) - 1146

- yewstack/yew (Rust/WASM web framework) - 942

- rustdesk/rustdesk (remote desktop) - 648

- nushell/nushell (shell) - 858

- ogham/exa (`ls` alternative) - 61

So yeah, seems even things as basic as a `cat` replacement ends up with 249 dependencies. Lowest amount of dependencies is a `ls` alternative, which ends up with 62 dependencies.

The board area under CPU is usually filled with ceramic capacitors, not to mention the lack of ecosystem support (i.e. CPU vendors just cannot rely on everyone starting to provide additional cooling from the other side, so they have to design for the most common denominator).

This method is sometimes used though, particularly with power transistors, where the heat conduction path through metal pads is usually better than the epoxy package over the die.

The pitchforking on HN about "right to repair" issues. Frankly, those threads degenerate into what I'd expect on reddit.

To clarify, I support the problems trying to be solved but a lot of the ideas are just the wrong way to go about it. I've thought of weighing in, but the way some other dissenting commenters get beaten down means I self censor and move on to other threads.

At my $dailyjob we (kinda unfortunately) went with tons of repositories and libraries upon libraries, and the only sane way for me to make changes across multiple repos is combining them into single build locally. In .NET it's not that complex - remove a Nuget dependency from your project, and add reference to locally checked-out repository and make sure you're using proper tags. It's mundane, happens to be frustrating, but I can make it work.

A lot of these folks are working on the assumption that Hawking Radiation would have evaporated all small primordial black holes (the kind that could traverse the earth with little to no damage).

However Hawking Radiation is a testable prediction of a theory that has yet to be tested. I dislike that physicists tend not to speak of Hawking Radiation in such terms since it is not a fact.

In particular, I would argue that the Black Hole Information paradox isn't a paradox, it's an evidence against Hawking Radiation which in turn pushes back on quantum mechanics. Most of dark matter may very well be explained by small primordial black holes we're not (yet) well equipped to detect.
