I .. hate those pedantic discussions. But here you go: a web page by common understanding is mainly something to look at. Page implies document. A web app is a bit more.
(And many tech people hate it, that browsers can do more)

So no, I do not want to replace native code with a web page. But in some cases with web apps.

I tried one-pedal in my EV6 for a few months, but found it fairly tedious with the aggressive braking. The EV6 does give you four levels of sensitivity if you want less than one-pedal, but I ended up switching to auto mode, where it dynamically adjusts the braking level and regen based on vehicles ahead of you.

Well I just spent an hour trying to get my Orange Pi 4 working with the latest Armbian, and it turns out HDMI output has been broken on Armbian on this board for almost a year: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26818-opi-4-lts-no-hdmi-outp...

I might end up just using it as a Klipper board too.
AWS are not experts at providing computing services? Holy cow. This is news to me! I thought they were the most popular and highly regarded computing infrastructure and PaaS company in the world, managing both hardware and software and providing subject matter experts to work with customers on architecture and implementation, along with official partners and a marketplace of turn-key products.

Boy, am I embarrassed! I need to start building my own datacenter right away, all my shit is on AWS!!!
yes, but if you study US history its like a distortion field has been pulled up, where the President that got the New Deal passed is heralded in all history books for every action he ever did, while in reality most of his New Deal got struck down by the courts and he threatened to pack the court with his people. Like... what? And everything that's left over has been used to control all facets of life, subjugate all states with an interpretation of all commerce being interstate commerce, with any state level autonomy being a gift from Congress if they remembered to include an intrastate exemption

Its a "federal government" by name alone as there is no federalism left. Federalism could be interesting. It will have redundancies, wild differences. But that's the actual country we herald in our history books while we've done something else for the last 100 years.

The court has even expressed interest in going back further: revisiting the insular cases - the status of many of our territories and whether we should possess them at all - for reasons I find extremely universally agreeable, nowadays. If you read the SCOTUS decisions from 1901 they are super racist reasons why we have our territories. The only reason people would disagree is because they either haven't read them or they want to avoid the inconvenience. The constitution doesn't say "if its inconvenient ignore these articles, amendments and don't interpret me". Self determination is decided by the people of the territory in coordination with Congress.

so our radical court is going to undo racist rulings and disrupt an American colonizer streak? bring the cases, the challenge to a territory's status will probably even come from the left once people catch on with the most productive way to operate with this court

I get it, its a paradoxical standard, yes, its radical to do something we're all unfamiliar with. yes, a political entity with the adjective radical is a radical political entity. but are we using this in the colloquial way of illegitimate? no, not at all.

Sometimes -- those times when you're breaking entirely new ground with a thing, when you're starting with just a vague vision of where the thing might go -- slow is better. Slow gives you time to understand the effects of what you've already done and the possibilities that affords.

I guess it depends on whether you're looking to achieve something unique and truly new, or just "get rich fast".

I’m struggling with this post because it seems to imply that software quality has gotten worse over time. Bluntly put: I think this is nonsense.

I remember using Windows 9x, the running jokes about poor quality and security of all MS products. Adobe’s formats came from those early days and are roundly mocked. Hell, I’ve built replacements for 90s software and, I can assure you, what I replaced was not high quality or robust at all.

On this very site, we discussed Horizon: a project started in the 90s and 20000s that was so badly built that it led to hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters being imprisoned, bankrupted and a number committed suicide.

Is the author just romanticising the “good old days?”
I wonder if there's a way to prevent the growth at all costs that is demanded by the financial markets.

Maybe become profitable and pay off the VCs then don't go public?

Then you can resist the pressure for growth quarter by quarter, and remain the 'right size' that your internal culture demands.

If nothing else, const in an api is a very clear and welcome indication of what to expect.

Like myapi(uint8_t *dest, const uint8_t *src, size_t dest_len, size_t src_len), it's very clear what will be doing what with what.

You can cast const away and do something unexpected in there, but that's on you doing the Wrong Thing.
> And they have lots of unexpected behavior and non-linear brake feel.

Upthread there are several examples of brake lights not going on when people expect, or the regen braking being hard to get to feel right. All new systems are going to be buggy or whatever for a while, varying from model to model. I just haven't heard why putting regen on the brake pedal is uniquely difficult.

> and it is easier to adapt to this on the accelerator pedal....Blending between regeneration and brakes is just about impossible to get right - it will be non-linear and make you worse at braking.

Why?
Lack of toolchain is one problem, although I think that there are alternative toolchains out there that are quite feature-rich and could definitely achieve feature-parity with the web ecosystem, if only there was enough interest in using them.

JavaFX, even though it's outdated, is quite up to the job of replacing most Electron-based UIs. Qt is definitely extremely powerful, but has the drawback of being tied into the C++ ecosystem which seems rather dated now. Even some hobbyist efforts are worth mentioning in this category: AvaloniaUI (in the C# ecosystem), HaxeUI & FeathersUI (both in the Haxe ecosystem and building on game engines).

I think, the bigger problem is sourcing developers. Web developers are comparatively cheap and abundant, so a commercial entity is always going to have trouble justifying hiring a comparatively expensive and difficult-to-find developer in the C#, ObjC/Swift, or Java ecosystem, when the job can also be accomplished by a web developer.

Performance.

I recommend pixijs.

But it depends what you do, smooth animations of some elements is possible with html. But in my case it got complex and html was the bottleneck. Now I have the same assets in Pixi and it runs around 100× faster. No more lags, no stuttering. No more html.

(Allmost, some static content is still HTML, but that is fine, as long as the DOM does not get modified)

The Golden Rule of Assertions
Seems like a lot of complaining and the only solution offered is regulation or “just do it better”? Ok.
So, Google’s choice of architecture prevents them from open-sourcing or maintaining projects a tad longer than absolute necessary. I’d say they dug their own grave, if it has such a large impact on the trust of customers. Maybe Google3’s architecture was excellent for worldwide scalability and costs, but let’s see which one matters in the long term.
It also has such a bad UX that few people use it anymore.
I have another feeling that while what you say is likely true, in a world without Electron, we would have a lot less common software available on Linux with companies opting for native UI toolkits on Windows and Mac only. Qt, though better than electron, isn't that lean [1], and is available under only LGPL or an expensive commercial license. I also don't think Electron is entirely responsible for the slowness in many applications (Slack), but rather the bloated web design itself.

Whether you can conceive the amounts of air and energy it requires is not really scientific arguments.

A scientific argument transcends personal beliefs.

You might believe that such a feat is inconceivable, but lets agree not to pollute the language any more by using the word "scientific" when we mean "believe".
> Conformance is an advantage

How about society loosens its prejudices?

Literally regulating behaviors are punished in regular social situations, by parents, teachers, police, etc.

> homosexuality's long combat to marry

Strange tangent. Who is 'homosexuality' here? Demanding equal treatment doesn't necessary mean you need to exercise all liberties that are available. I'm certain there are many that didn't have a desire to marry that also believed in equal treatments and the affordance for those that did want to marry, that they could.
People here mention KhanAcademy and AOPS series for self learning. I've used both when relearning Math as an adult.

I disagree as well. It's too naive to say "the purpose of meta is sexual harassment of children".

Purpose and result are not hard linkable in so many cases.

An obtuse example is a kitchen knife. So easy to say a knife's purpose is murder thus knives should "cease-operations".

Some years ago I got back into math basics, so I could do mental math as a hobby. I'm still doing it today, nearly daily. I've also added crosswords. I've found that this helps to keep me sharp (I'm in my 40s), and should help me even more as the years go by.
Me too, but I'm old enough to remember TV interstitials looking like that.
Database changes are typically one-way. If your new change includes creating or modifying a table, such that there are new additional columns, and you populate those with data, then downgrading would destroy the changed columns and the data in them. Hence you can't downgrade once you upgrade or you'd potentially be breaking things. To downgrade safely you'd need to backup or snapshot the old database, and then restore your database back to the backup/snapshot, but that's not blue/green.
> Did you come up with this yourself, or did you copy it from somewhere else? Because I would like to know more. This sounds like a very good approach.

> Let me explain. In a typical company, when priorities shift, you "downsize" (or cancel) a project, and then use the money to add people to a different, more important project. The common way to do this is fire people from the first project, then rehire a bunch of new people in the second project. It's easy, it's simple, it's expected.

This is funny for me as a German, because here as a company you are not allowed to fire people essentially on a whim - you have to find new roles for them in the company, and can only lay off people if you can't reasonably do so. Obviously you can try nevertheless but if you can't prove in front of a court that you did reasonable effort, then you'll lose.

And that email quote is also interesting on its own:

> Even the IT department works differently. In every building, there are little offices called "tech stops". They sort of look like miniature computer stores. If you have a problem with your computer, just walk it right into the tech stop and show a technician. They generally help you on the spot. If you need hardware, just ask. "Hey, I need a new mouse"... "sure, what kind would you like?", says the tech, opening a cabinet full of peripherals. No bureaucracy, no forms, no requests. Just ask for hardware, and get it. The same goes for office supplies... cabinets full of office supplies everywhere, always stocked full. Just take what you need, whenever you feel like it.

I think that in the end all this bureaucracy is part of what makes people feel like they're just another cog in the machine, and it's intended to do so. Just think about it from the outside... a company that pays you 60k a year, but adds about 100$ worth of "management overhead" for a simple mouse for 15 €? It certainly shows that you, or anyone else, isn't to be trusted even with minuscule amounts.
Because their renewable sector is growing faster than everything else? And has 3x the size of the vastly more rich USA?

I'm really surprised that SideFX has only 169 employees.

It's biggest competitor, Autodesk, has 13,700 employees.

Of course Autodesk has a lot of products and SideFX has practically one so it's not a very fair comparison. But my point is that SideFX is a living evidence that if you want to stay reasonably small you can. SideFX was been existed for 28 years, so we can safely assume it has a positive cash flow.
Lets see, this is main the advantage of Java EE (now Jakarta) over Spring, plenty of companies to chose from.

There are many options available with PostgreSQL you could also do a physical full backup + WAL level replication to keep key AND a get low downtime.

What might have oriented theirs choice is that they wanted to upgrade from major version 11 to 15 during the migration process. This is only available using logical replication. Otherwise you'd have to chain upgrade process of each major version (and possibly OS because 11 is EOL on some arch) and this is nor trivial nor quick.
Thanks for the important question. We plan to always offer data portability for free. Currently you can easily export your links to a CSV file. The CSV file contains details of your links, the folder it is saved in, and any notes attached to that link.

Over time we will update this export to include any images that you saved into your Zlinky account.

Currently you can download a CSV of your saved links once a day.

We also hope to offer import link, image etc options over time.

Thanks.

Google is a bit like Microsoft under Steve Ballmer. It had lost its way. There was no leadership. Most of what they tried failed or wasn't that great. And yet it was still raking in the profits. And then MS turned it around. All it took was new leadership. They just overtook Apple as the most valuable company in the world. Just a string of good, solid decisive leadership. Satya Nadella turned that company around.

Could happen to Google as well. But not with their current CEO. They have a lot of stuff that they are working on but very little of it has any real impact on their revenue. Their strategy is a mess. And they have a huge expensive work force not delivering more revenue to justify their existence. And they've been hiring non stop for 20 years just mindlessly growing their staff adding tens of thousands of people per year. The Google that built the company was much smaller and nimbler. The layoffs slow down the bloat but it's still a bloated company. The reason they get away with that is that revenue hasn't stopped growing either. But it's increasingly detached from staff size. Staff reductions at this point merely increase profits.
File Formats Debunk – Why you should stop rendering to PNG (and use EXR instead)
But reread what I wrote. One of the purposes. Please, if you're going to argue, argue with what I wrote.
Totally agreed on your first sentence. Yes, I don’t want to keep in memory the minute details of how I set up the infrastructure or the platform. That’s why I have that in IaC format and have a dedicated operator on my team so they can deal with that on a daily basis I, while I do my work. I’m not “learning” ops, I try to delegate as much of it as I can, I have no choice. On my private projects I’ve always had to deal a lot with infrastructure, it’s experience accumulated over many years, and I feel quite unhappy about that waste of time. At work I learned that at some things I’m far more experienced and knowledgeable than our top ops people, while at others I had no idea. On such projects you must collaborate, but at the same time somehow make progress on your business logic. And let’s hope you’re not also responsible for the product.

Define “knowledge” you’re referring to. I have checklists for my ops. Define “really” and “good”. That sounds like perfectionist maxims without ground. Your listing of deployment targets can be extended by any BSD system, Android, iOS, IoT SoCs—what’s the point? If that’s your business requirement then you do it, if not then why bother?

If you think you can do both and create a “really good” app, or even product, well then you’re likely a genius. It depends on the depth, breadth and consistency of that “knowledge”—some people simply overestimate their capacity while others underestimate their potential. By poking around in Kubernetes is it deep enough for production or only broad enough to impress someone who’s deeper yet not broader? By reading the docs and textbooks and learning from people, would that be enough for production?

I said I hoped to forget that ops stuff because I have other duties to attend to and there’s too much variance and unreliability in those ops tasks, you need to make a context switch, hence IaC, hence managed, so you as a non-operator can focus on your tasks. Infrastructure and platforms are commodity goods now.
