No, it's not about never releasing anything with a bug. Guaranteeing bug free releases isn't feasible most of the time. The point is that you're shipping a bunch of code that you didn't write and can do things you're not expecting. The VS Code thing was due to the browser not fully optimizing a perfectly reasonable CSS...

Bootstrap is handy but I've not used it in years. SO is handy but I maybe land there once a week, and usually for non web stuff (e.g. trying to learn Rust, or F#) so I may be in that 20%, but I still don't agree that the other 80% would be miserable without SO and bootstrap.

Yeah I knew about the project - it was in the works when I made the switch to PyQt a few years ago. It looks like things are progressing but I'm not really prepared to use a build from source pre-alpha. My GUI needs are simple and limited so I was able to easily just make the switch to PyQt for new projects.

Well, client-side tricks would be possible with a native desktop app too. That's the whole point of doing the authentication on the server-side, to ensure no trickery from the client-side.

There are multiple solutions which already work. Qt, GTK, wxWidgets, FLTK2 (not released yet, but it will support skinning—v1 is dated), Golang's shiny, JavaFX, any OpenGL UI library (such as NanoGUI, imgui)...

Hmm. I tried it in Notepad++ too and it worked there too. But I now see it doesn't in e.g. Outlook, but it does in Windows' own notepad. (shift-left click). So in windows / apps itself it's not consistent, though it looks like shift-left-click does what /u/badsectoracula says should be shift-middle-click. So it might...

You aren't doing anything wrong. Using Qt Widgets (the whole application in pure C++) is a perfectly valid option and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I must be weird for liking the .cpp/.h division. It was very refreshing.

It'll be nice when the module system helps speed up compile times. But, IMO, having to type into t...

The author and most people commenting miss the point: None of this is inherently Electron's fault. In particular, it's not electron's fault that the Slack app has a runaway process that's pegging the CPU or that it idles at 5% CPU. Using this as the basis for "Electron is the new Flash" is just stupid, especially when ...

Please read the entire thread again. I've never claimed that it is simpler to write platform-specific code for each platform.

The only resource it'll waste is storage. But this is how a lot of applications are packaged, especially on Windows and Mac. It's literally no different than seeing "newtonsoft.json.dll" in every C# application that talks on the web.

I am sympathetic to this concern.

A site that's not in the map would have the minimum trust level. So...

Where I work Agile meant turning traditional QA in to developers. Then these people get let go during the typical big company RIFs (reduction in workforce) because - no surprise- these people usually do not have good developer skills. And developers generally suck at testing. Net result: no QA.
