> installed desktop web apps are really starting to look and feel like native apps

I think we are having the opposite problem: native apps are really starting to look and feel like web apps, and in many cases, they are.

The problem: the web has a terrible UI toolkit for desktop apps. It has clickable links and basic forms, that's all. It was made for documents, not apps. If you want better than that, you have to rewrite it all by yourself, or more likely, import a framework that does it for you. Traditional Windows apps all use system provided common controls, because they are good, and therefore they have a consistent look and feel, even through OS updates. It is even user customizable. Now it is not uncommon to see 10 different styles in a single screen, Windows since 8 is not even consistent with itself, and it is becoming worse every version. And it is not just aesthetics, there are serious usability concerns here, and system-wide customization is gone.
On the contrary, requiring the addition of a disclaimer containing an overall evaluation of an author before correcting someone's misleading caricature of their work would be an extremely tedious community norm.

Let's be brief and accurate instead.

I have done this stuff in production environments. Wires and connectors are like, 30% of the challenge on simple projects and can make or break the quality of a project.

You MAY have a chance if the wire is pretinned or you use flux. Do not do this with bare copper even if it looks like it works, you will probably get at least a few cold joints.

The better version is to coat the wire and pad with solder, put the wire on the pad, flux. then press it into the pad with the iron.

Better yet, never ever solder wire directly to a board in hobby or low volume work unless small size is totally critical. Especially stranded. It makes a metal fatigue point if things move at all, and requires hot glue to stand even a few bend cycles.

And even when you do have good connectors, it's probably still in your best interest to minimize the number of wires hanging around, learn about I2C as quick as you can.

It can't be quickly disconnected for repairs and replacement and troubleshooting.

It's a lot of work.

Even if done perfectly it's just not very nice.

Instead, solder connectors to the board directly. For short ranges use 2.54mm jumpers. Never use male jumpers if you can avoid it, they are delicate and annoying.

For longer distances, there are lots of things that don't suck, USB-C, 2.1mm barrel, Ethernet, 3 pin XLR, and whatever your country has for mains electricity.

Stay away from normal 4mn banana plugs unless you are in a field where they are already everywhere. The cheap ones shear off. and have bad connections and they are not particularly common. Even DMM test leads don't use them, they use the shielded versions.

Common off the shelf stuff that you can buy extensions for. Don't solder long wires to stuff, it will just make a tangled mess when you put it away and make it hard to troubleshoot.

When you do have a reason to do stuff like that, Wago connectors and pigtail adapters are your friend especially for tests and troubleshooting Because then when you realize you actually don't need 5 XT60 extensions, you can swap the ends for something else quickly.

And most importantly Do. Not. Invent. Some. Crazy scheme of powering all your projects from a central point over long 12v wires. Every new electronics DIYer seems to do it, and cables and wires are often the enemy. Yeah it looks cool and sci-fi and seems like a good idea to have wires everywhere, but single purpose and custom made cables are a nuisance to deal with, they're heavy and expensive and trip hazards.
Yes, I think that's a fair statement. I'd say it's closer to ZeroTier, because ZeroTier has ACLs and the "libzt" that you can embed in applications. Though in the case of libzt you are embedding a full TCP stack and talking on ports, where I get the impression OpenZiti is more like a pipe with credentials.

Or: It's like Tailscale, if Tailscale had mutual TLS client/server baked into it as well as VPN.

As someone who wishes they spent more time playing videogames and just pulled the trigger on an RTX 20 series card in these times of price drops, I was looking forward to trying for the umpteenth time to get into EVE (I've done the Exploration activity as my primary source of income for 6-9 months a long time ago... admittedly a less social activity than most in EVE).

But, looking at the state of the game today, two things (among others) all but dashed my interest: the game's purchase by a big name publisher with a pretty commercial image and the subscription model.

It had not crossed my mind before seeing this submission, but I can see myself humoring a popular community's attempt to erect a private EVE server and play around on it.

Out-of-bounds indexing is always fun. I'm interested in programming languages with mostly-watertight spatial memory safety, which can prevent many exploits at a minimal ergonomic/flexibility cost, compared to temporal memory safety which requires a borrow checker and endless compiler complexity (plus I find it easier to statically verify you don't use-after-free in the limited code interacting with resource lifetimes, than index out-of-bounds in the majority of business logic interacting with arrays).

His objection is that there is no way to opt out of the forgiveness.

His personal situation is that he's already in a loan forgiveness program that does not treat the forgiven loan as income, meaning he will never have to pay income tax on what is forgiven. He is claiming that he is forced to accept this loan forgiveness, which will be treated as income, costing him additional income tax.

While he's likely correct, it seems like it'd be far easier to give people the option to reject this loan forgiveness, or to ask Congress to provide a carve-out banning state or federal taxes on federal loan forgiveness

> For companies like Microsoft making something like Teams, I think it sucks. They have the resources to make native apps and when you have tens of millions of users, adding support for another platform would cost them pennies per user.

Back when I worked at Microsoft, 2014 or so, we had serious problems finding Win32 developers. We essentially had to train people up. While I am sure the Windows org had lots of them, put out a job req and even internally not very many people are going to have native Windows development on their resume.

Nearly had to draw straws to see who had to get "stuck" learning Windows stuff.

I imagine native MacOS developers are similarly rare as a % of the overall developer pool.

Android and iPhone developers, easy peasy.

Likewise, Web developers, not a problem.

The other thing is, Electron has tons of momentum behind it, which means more and more people jump onboard to learn it, which makes hiring easy. Tutorials and learning resources get made, making developing for it even easier.

IIRC we ended up dropping the native C++ Windows app and just used C# and one of the UI toolkits, I forget which one.
I'm grateful for all of the opportunities! Thank you everyone.

It would not, it takes new players months to get to 1 billion in-game currency while it takes veterans logging in for a few minutes to do that. A friend has reached 1 trillion in net worth after playing for 2 years (I only reached 300b before realizing I should grind IRL instead of in-game, but I had an operation that made it somewhat easy to gain 50B/month).

So if I can sell my 50B per month for like $100 or $200 I'd probably do it (because if you're lucky in market speculation you can make way more)

So what about new players? Eve is a zero-sum game. You take resources and other players can't use it anymore. Imagine playing a game that emphasis that you can sell items for real world money but playing for a year would only get you $10 or less.

I can't say for sure about those particular cases. I'd have to have a lot more detail. But as I mention elsewhere, one of the best ways to rise through the ranks, especially at companies excited to be unicorns, is to do dramatic things, even if they aren't particularly effective.

~20 years ago, when eBay was a company that mattered a great deal, I did a contract there. I was on some mailing list for the eng org where promotions were announced. Every single one of them talked about some incredible act of heroism, usually involving staying all night multiple times to get something out.

The reality was that their code base was pretty poor, and their bad development practices caused things to get worse over time. That required heroics just to do pretty mundane stuff. And in that rush to meet arbitrary deadlines with sufficient drama? Even more corners would be cut, making it even harder something to get done next time.

In contrast, they could have taken quality and productivity seriously and build their practices around that, ending up with a smooth-running process and reasonable hours for everybody. But that was in nobody's interest, because as far as I could tell nobody at eBay got promoted for quiet competence. Drama was what mattered, and so their development practices were tuned for creating opportunities for drama.

This hasn’t been consistent since at least Vista and the release of WPF, which does totally custom control rendering. Circa 2006.

I think web is taking over on Windows because any of 10 or 15 different design systems can get you to a better app than the native (whatever that means) toolkits in much less time. It is easier to get a decent color picker in a web app than a WPF, WinForms, UWP, WinUI, or Win32 app (assuming you have a reasonably high expectation for UI/UX, as I do).

Even Office and Visual Studio (not Code) are using web technologies to render substantial parts of the UI.

Yes you're missing it. Every item is player made (few exceptions in recent years).

This means if you're a warrior in combat you have a ship with like 20 items that were all hand-made, and to build the ship itself it went through 6 different stages and the raw materials probably changed hands 12 times.

One of the more interesting parts of the Esperanto story is that right at the moment when world organizations were starting to take it seriously (in this case, the defunct League of Nations), the movement split between the users of Ido -- a spinoff of Esperanto -- and the Esperantists themselves.

Few years back everyone was complaining Apple was copying Microsoft by going all in on flat UIs.

While at MS I did run into the ever present problem of many designers only using MacOS so their designs would basically say "do what MacOS does!"[1] which entailed a lot of work by developers to change the default Windows UI widget behaviors to look like MacOS. Thankfully when I got one of those requests across my desk I was able to point and shout at MS's design language rules and say no. :/

[1] I don't think it was on purpose, I just think many designers have never used anything else and they didn't even realize other UIs exist outside of MacOS and iPhones. These problems started popping up when MS loosened up on their rules about only using MS products for development, it was a needed change but ugh, UX designers and their MacBooks...

This is the truth, and I imagine it applies to just about every bank. Years ago, a friend of mine had this happen to her with USAA. It took an Executive Email Carpet Bomb to get resolved, and I haven't banked with USAA since.

I can absolutely recommend having a few accounts at different institutions, preferably at local or regional credit unions. I'm sure they have this same right to cease business with a customer, but I think it would be easier to resolve (if it happens in the first place). But by having multiple accounts, you can avoid losing access to the total sum of your money all at once, which is what happened to my friend.

In addition to this, I'd like to add that intuitionistic logic is consistent if and only if classical logic is. This follows from the Godel-Gentzen negative translation[0], which implies that for any contradiction in classical logic, you can get the same contradiction in intuitionistic logic more or less by adding "not not" before both sides of the contradiction. The same applies to the axiom of choice: set theory with choice is consistent if and only if set theory without choice is consistent[1].

This means that you don't get any safety by rejecting the law of excluded middle, nor by rejecting the axiom of choice. For this reason, I think intuitionistic logic is trading away a lot of power for basically no gain.
