I haven’t done anything with javascript in over 6 years, so I can’t say which is better.

This comparison might be useful to you. Tauri gives a smaller executable for Windows compared to Neutralino, but slightly larger for Mac and Linux. Also, Tauri’s build times are orders of magnitude longer (5 minutes vs 1 second for Neutralino), I’d like some confirmation on your part if that’s indeed the case. One thing that really caught my attention, however, is how huge a memory hog Neutralino is on Linux, 700MB for an “empty-app-frameless” project!!

I’m actually curious in trying these two out myself, especially to see if the tauri build times are that bad, and if neutralino’s RAM usage is so high on linux.

FreePascal + Lazarus have been desktop crossplatform for many years. “But it’s Pascal! Nobody uses Pascal! And the defaults are fugly!”, fair enough, but it offers compatible crossplatform UI with a single codebase.

Java also lets you write UI stuff and keep a single codebase for multiple platforms, thanks to the JVM. It always looks “weird” or “ugly” next to whatever OS’s default UI is and also needs a compatible JRM installed, but it works.

Nowadays, web/javascript projects can opt for Tauri or Neutralinojs instead of Electron. They use the OS’s native HTML renderer, no browser required.

The error is in picking Electron in the first place. One particular case that I’ve had with several Electron apps are zombie processes. You close the window, but you check the task manager and see 4-5 processes hanging in there, eating resources for no reason.

NeutralinoJS is an option similar to Tauri. You don’t need to bundle a whole fucking browser just to run a couple of webpages with some javascript.

They sure go out of their way to fill every pixel with ads, tho. If you so much breathe while the site’s open, an ad tab opens.

Guess that’s the counterbalance to being unable(?) to sell PID

AFAIK, it all falls down on moderators’ shoulders. I don’t envy their jobs one bit :(

Take a wild guess as to why it had to be enabled in the first place, and only for Delete queries.

I’ve had that happen with database logs where I used to work, back in 2015-6.

The reason was a very shitty system that, for some reason, threw around 140 completely identical delete queries per millisecond. When I say completely identical, I mean it. It’d end up something like this in the log:

2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
2015-10-22 13:01:42.226 = delete from table_whatever
      where id = 1
          and name = 'Bob'
          and other_identifier = '123';
-- repeated over and over with the exact same fucking timestamp, then repeated again with slightly different parameters and different timestamp

Of course, “no way it’s our system, it handles too much data, we can’t risk losing it, it’s your database that’s messy”. Yeah, sure, I set up triggers to repeat every fucking delete query. Fucking morons. Since they were “more important”, database logging was disabled.

Web standards? You talk funny, funny man

Electron is just the “easiest, most common option”, because things like TauriJS and NeutralinoJS exist, which do what electron does without having to bundle a whole-ass Chrome browser.

What else works across as many platforms and screen sizes as well as the combination of HTML/CSS/JS?

Doom. It runs on every-fucking-thing

Man, I’ve never seen such a rapid succession of git pull and git push

So, less a “kid” and more “almost adult”. Yeah, I can see that being taken as very weird or creepy

“Girl, I named no variables after you, because you’re my only Constant”

I think you could pull a similar breach of geneva conventions quite easily with Nim, probably even beyond what you can with C++

No, I’m not intelligent, nor crazy enough to try that

It would be an issue if every place that cared about those cards crashed. Let’s use a real world example: Decentraland and Vault Hill. Both offer similar services, a “virtual reality metaverse”, not unlike VR Chat or Second Life. Both allow you to buy marketplace items in the form of NFTs, which go straight to your wallet.

So far, so good. But, right now, neither has any plans to accept the other’s NFTs. I can prove I own something from another game, but the game itself doesn’t care. I also can’t buy Decentraland stuff with VHC tokens, nor Vault Hill items with MANA, which makes them rather centralized.

As soon as either company crashes and goes bankrupt, everything connected will become useless and lose most or all value. Thus, blockchain wouldn’t fix the issue.

Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.
