I find the headline frustrating. It is a study that seems to have only looked at branded plastic.

It also seems to think that the finding showing a correlation to production numbers is proof that the producers are not taking effective efforts.

I can't and don't say the results are worthless. I do question any study that doesn't mention the fashion industry on plastics. My gut is I pollute more plastic from my drier vent than makes any sense. And yet most people I talk to are unaware that drier lint is plastic.

It could be that Qt would work better and no-one is using it for the sorts of reasons that you mention. But I think the more plausible explanation is that no UI library can compete with what the browser offers anymore. This would hardly be surprising. The person hours invested in HTML+CSS rendering vastly exceed those invested in Qt or any other UI lib.

The kind of argument you're making would be much more convincing if there were relevant examples of Qt-based apps that provided a superior user experience to the Electron apps you're criticising.

I don't personally find Electron apps laggy in general. VSCode is very responsive, for example.

i was actually playing with hetzner and k3s over the weekend and found this https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s to be super useful.
Don’t know about the writer of the article, but there are some legit reasons to use multiple K8s clusters. Single-tenant environments, segregation of resources into different cloud accounts, redundancy (although there are probably lots of ways to do most of this within a single cluster), 46 different developer / QA / CI clusters, etc.
Then why do you suppose IQ is correlated to race? Are black people's brains really different from jewish people's?

Or is it that black people are on average raised in poorer communities, with poorer schools, less educated parents and less access to cultural material?

The issue with you presenting that data as is, like there is a natural hierarchy of races, is that you are omitting the real reason we observe those discrepancies. Socioeconomic status, or place of birth or whatever else.

Agreed. Glass bottles were the absolute norm in Europe up to the late 1980s. A widespread re-use network for glas bottles existed (and still exists, esp. for beer bottles). Add on top a glass recycling system dor single-use and spent glass bottles and recovery rates were very good, albeit expensive in terms of transportation and energy use.

Independent of glass, according to Wikipedia over 75 % of all PET-bottles in the DACH region are also re-used before they are recycled (which can mean burning them). So, yes, it is absolutely realistic to have a system where the majority of bottles are reused.

I get the impression the "random dude" is the expert you are already paying $100k/yr for. It sends them a slack message, email, etc. The sales pitch is you don't have to code that microservice so you can ship your AI a bit faster. Which is fair enough, since most SaaS is 99% other PaaS/SaaS + some core unique business factor thrown on top. However I worry about how much this company is charging. It is pricey.

Most outages these days are also caused by "devops errors" that're much more likely to happen when working with complex infrastructure stacks. So there's real value in keeping things simple.
Youtubers also adopted this trick. The best pattern currently is to voice a random question in the middle of the video or present themselves as "I'm not sure about this, please correct me in the comments" as transparent plan to entice people to comment. I even bought it a first few dozen times, but now when every single creator does it, it is kinda tiring.
But the underlying error stays unmatchable. Doesn't sound like a solution if you have to duplicate every error type, and worse, they don't even map 1:1 but now you have the same underlying error wrapped to god knows how many different errors.

For example, the lib produces some an error "bad file descriptor". You'll be wrapping it when you call fileOpen, fileDelete, etc etc 20 times. So you will be wrapping it in "open error", "delete error", etc, 20 times. You cannot try to match it to "bad file descriptor", that information is lost, you now have 20 relatively useless errors.

Except if you stringly match.

This is why I always sign-up for something first time with fake data and a throw-away email address (I have a catch-all sub-domian, that is no longer off my main domain, for that). If it turns out the site is something I might care to return to I might then sign up with real details, or edit the initial account, if not then the email address given to them gets forwarded to /dev/null for when the inevitable spam starts arriving. I'm thinking of seeing if the wildcarding/catchall can be applied at the subdomain level, so I can fully null-route dead addresses in DNS and not even have connection attempts related to the spam.
The root of all failure at the level of the society is the fungibility of inherited wealth into political power, which rapidly gets deployed to impoverish everyone else including soldiers, and on its way it tramples institutions once revered.
Several countries add a deposit to each bottle, so you would actually throw money away. It's not a big inconvenience to throw the bottles in a small bag and bring it with you to the machine at the grocery store, when you are going there anyway. 9 of 10 bottles are returned in Norway, so the system works.
I understand the sentiment from a user's perspective, I really do.

I have been totally burned out by having to maintain all my free apps in the Play Store though, lately. Even a simple non-internet-using app needs an update every year and needs to comply with new bullshit policies every few months. It has totally changed my opinion on free vs paid apps. I still despise subscription models, but I absolutely understand that there's just no free apps out there anymore. It just costs too much of my time to keep doing it for free.

> The result doesn't caramelize as well.

Anecdotally I've prepared caramelized onions both ways, chopped with a knife and using a food processor and I've never noticed a difference. Onions have to release most of their water before they can begin caramelizing anyway so if anything, wouldn't that speed up the process?
I've always thought the bottled water industry was insane. Why pay a dollar for a bottle of water, when you can get it out of the tap for a fraction of a cent? If you don't like the tap water taste, get a filter (they're cheap) and you're still way way ahead on cost.

And if you buy water in plastic bottles, doesn't the plastic leach into the water? Why drink that?

I grew up in Arizona, where you drink a couple of gallons of water a day. Nobody drank water from bottles. There were water fountains everywhere, every store had one. When hiking, you just bought a canteen and filled it from the tap.
Hopefully stupid question but were you replacing the pen nibs? My screen has been solidly responsive for several years of heavy usage, but the fiber nibs do get worn down and need replacing every few weeks/months (by design) or the pen starts exhibiting this behaviour.

I have to admit I have also switched back to real paper for a lot of tasks but I still like the remarkable as an e-reader, and enjoy writing on it occasionally, so I wouldn't say it's a big regret.

> not everything needs to be built with some profit in mind (not talking about this app in particular now).

I agree, and I make many projects for fun and find it rewarding when others use what I've built. But that is a decision that I make myself, for my own work. I never feel like I have the right to tell others whether they should build something with profit in mind or not.
Yeah VSCode is fine, I agree. But as mentioned above, if one can screw up their Electron app to be as laggy as Slack then the tech is not good. I stand by that statement.

> The kind of argument you're making would be much more convincing if there were relevant examples of Qt-based apps that provided a superior user experience to the Electron apps you're criticising.

That's arguing in circles and it's the chicken-and-egg problem. Toolkits like Qt get less and less mindshare because Electron is desired and is encouraged by employers. I can't speak for Qt in particular btw, just using it as an example here, but my point is that it could be the best UI toolkit ever but since it takes a little more time to spin up an app with it then the business will want you to not use it.

Hence, I can't show you those Qt apps.

I feel that in these discussions people just blindly trust popularity to be an indicator of quality. I have a huge problem with that mindset and my career has seen the exact opposite, many times. Hence my comments. And if you want to take away just one thing from our discussion, it's this: please don't mistake Electron's popularity with the idea that Electron is the best UI toolkit.

I have 1400' of ocean front,where there is always plastic garbage washing up. And have seen spots where the plastic snarls would fill a train car.
Bolt cutterrs,hand saws, buckets, and shovles, work them in shifts round the clock.
Funny thing is that there is so much plastic,or every kind, that the ocean is
doing its thing, and there are surprises,
toys and other personal items, broken, but then worn smooth and fine, with a hermit crab living in it.And I stick the larger weierder stuff into crooks in the trees at the high tide line, and keep the still useable things, 5 gallon buckets, hats a real lot of nice hats,gas jugs(with gas),
If I go for a day walk somewhere ,and my hands and pockets fill up with more organic treasures, it us now inevitable that I find some sturdy plastic receptical or kit bag,something,on the beach to put it all in.
This was not the case 20 years ago.
There are 5000 miles of coast in nova scotia, and at the high tide line, where the berm of debrits, sea weed, drift wood

I can't help myself: is this the famous logic by which tech people don't trust apple, microsoft, amazon, meta, or google products?

Or does it not apply to corporations? What's the distinction, if so? It certainly seems common to not to apply it to corporations.

Not sniping here, I actually think this is solid logic, maybe with some exceptions but generally applicable. I feel like it's so commonly and happily not applied when it comes to the above companies (and others) that I find it stunning to see it stated so clearly here.
This is supported by QC from 2017 I belive.
This seems like a pretty unhinged reaction to this. What triggered you? By your reference which indicates an aversion to status, I guess his failure to endorse Marxist orthodoxy or recite woke catechisms?

Are you aware it comes across rather transparently as envy and self defeating rage? Rather than hate on success, why not make some choices to create improvements in your life to actually get results you might feel happy with? The path of the fake payoff of hating on a clearly well informed and intelligent analyst of current affairs, while it may make you temporarily feel better, can only ultimately be compensatory and not actually yield results to improve your life. Rather it is more likely to act as a substitute! Be warned of that path, the path of no personal responsibility and claiming victimhood, it doesn’t lead anywhere good :)

Btw - “do what i say” is more echoed in your “shamed if you disagree” leftist strategy than anything Marc says here. You might want to bring a bit of a mirror and self awareness to enhance your stance. Hopefully this helps! Haha :)
Kubernetes was developed by Google, and it seems to me it's a classic example of a technology that can work well in a resource-rich (people, money) environment. But in an averge business it becomes a time/money sink quite quickly.

Way too many businesses cargo-cult themselves into thinking that they need FAANG-class infra, even though they haven't got the same scale or the same level of resourcing. Devs and ops people love it because they get to cosplay and also get the right words on their CV.

If you're not Google-scale then, as you say, a few VMs or physical boxes are all you need for most systems. But its not sexy, so the business needs people who don't mind that.
This is a very common fault, yes. Power supply issues in general. It is also not uncommon for people to replace e.g. Wifi routers because the wall warts fail.

It comes down to a few people don't knowing a lot about it - and I'm not blaming anyone for that, we all have our interests and most people have more than enough to do already to worry about what goes on inside their stuff.

Also, electronics are, to a lot of people in a lot of places, so cheap that they would rather just curse a little and buy a new thing, instead of bothering with taking the thing to a shop. And of course a few hours of skilled labour in a big city in the west might also be almost as expensive as making a whole new TV in a factory in Asia plus shipping, so it might not even make economic sense.

The way to deal with plastic waste is by incentives, not punishment. Charge a quarter extra to buy a bottle, get a quarter when you hand it to the recycler.

But the company can't do that. The tax people can. It would be useful thing the government can do instead of regulation and punishment.

I've looked into K8s some years back and found so many new concepts that I thought: is our team big enough for so much "new".

Then I read someone saying that K8s should never be used for teams <20 FTE and will require 3 people to learn it for redundancy (in case used to self-host a SaaS product). This seemed really good advice.

Our team is smaller than 20FTE, so we use AWS/Fargate now. Works like a charm.
We Combined Generative AI with Stardew Valley
I created [misterio](https://github.com/daitangio/misterio) to exactly solve the same issue described in the article.

So yes, if you have a simple setup you can use a "web" of docker servers.

But if your needs are just a bit more complex, or you have a mix of different technology (rubyonrails, python flask, java spring boot) and you want to standardize the communication, the security, the performance tracking and so on, K8s is the way.

The problem is the microservice architecture: the complexity is pushed to the infrastructure by the microservices, and K8s is a super-generic way to solve that complexity.

It is like unpacking (in a exploding-kitten mode) an application server on the your Intranet.

Not specific to leptos. My understanding is very rough, but rust's wasm-bindgen generates a javascript translation layer for the wasm. (Roughly) Javascript objects are stored in a lookup table and rust gets the handle (a number). Rust makes calls with that handle, which get translated back into javascript calls using the actual object. Similarly (I think) proxy objects are created for rust objects so javascript can call rust.

I was benchmarking some dom manipulation code and saw large GC pauses corresponding to the number of `element.classList` accesses I was doing from rust. I think the answer is that performance isn't great (compared to if browsers provided a wasm-native api that didn't have to go through javascript), but if you're doing a lot of calculation in rust or are writing a typically small UI it's not a significant cost... may be more important for graphics and visualization work.

Shaperglot: A tool for evaluating font language coverage
Probably because you're using a very performant machine (M1-M4 are extremely capable), but other than responsiveness (which even on an M1 isn't perfect), you got 3 more issues with Electron apps:

1. High RAM usage.

2. The bloat will accelerate as more abstractions are added to web frameworks.

3. Battery usage - the most noticeable issue for me. I've yet to empirically test this, but my guess would be that Electron apps use substantially more power than native apps. I will test this theory eventually.
You're providing examples of "project that need a lot of it should be done in that language instead". What would these projects even gain from using nodejs on backend and packing most of their business code into extensions for node?
