> If you care about performance that much you should be using neither.

Unfortunately by the time the coding industry understand this , we'll already have a fifth JS runtime that will promise to solve all the performance issues that exist within the 4 others...

Node.JS / Electron are some of my most favorite tech , but if I need performance I'll go with Kotlin / Go / Rust , it's just simpler IMHO.

I wish there was more accountability for International Institution.

Saying "WHO Director Declare X" is obviously more accountable than "WHO said X must do Y" with a shadow comity deciding for 7 billion people and claiming it's not their fault when they are wrong...

> Isn’t this what the German constitutional court already said was illegal?

This seems to be exactly that.

The trick here is that it's not 'sovereign debt' as being held by one country , but rather it's a 'package of debt' with a normalize rate and more guarantee...

It's what Pro-EU have been advocating for decades , to avoid 'spread' within eu-zone...

It was never my intention to be "shitting" on anyone.

Just a feeling of exasperation when seeing the product.

Someone in the comments confirmed what I said

Created an equivalent for bootstrap but abandoned it for the reasons I have written.

I'm a bit fed up with those "IDE" for web attempts.

Every 9 Month or so , we get a new attempt at fixing Web Dev lack of Visual Feedback and productivity issues.

The typical coder behind this type of project get "Mental Fatigue/ Coder Exhaust" after 6 Months as they generally ignore the complexity behind building such product and end up abandoning the project....

There is a google graveyard , but we should also build an "Front IDE / Webviewer" graveyard.

The only one I recall without googling anything : Deco[0] and PreVue[1]

HN could you complete my comment with others "Front IDE / Webwiever" that have been abandoned ?

Pretty sure there is more than a dozen.

> New portable gas-powered generators also must be zero-emissions by 2028

Fascinated by this large scale "green washing" taking place.

As of today 50% of the electricity made in california comes from natural gas...

On top of that an extra 37% of california electricity is imported from others states which are running mostly of natural gas...

You can also add an extra 30% of energy coming from petrol for cars , public transport and so forth.

Yet they go after "wind blower".

It baffles me.

Nothing new here !

The vast majority of Today's software is built by "Corporate Developers" and "Corporate Business Owner".

Generally these people don't have any background in UX or UI or simply commonsense about software ergonomics.

An example would be Stripe , as an Architect in Banking I've spend years explaining to Executives and Business Owner to invest in "Partner Experience" and good "Developer Ecosystem" , something they've always refused because the current model "Answer the Need"

This is the same problem , the people who are building are generally not using the product, the people in charge simply don't understand the "Added Value" of making a change to the current software so it's doesn't weight "150 MB" but rather "1MB" and has "auto installer" with it , "we have always done it this way , why change ?".

Add to that software legacy you end up with mess like those which are obscenely hostile piece of software.

I'm a tech worker based in France.

This topic gets brought up on HN every year I think.

The answer is always the same :

- Yes , US Engineers Salary are way exaggerated compared to the rest of the world

- No US Company will never "outsource" to europe to save 50% per full time worker

This has been predicted already a millions times and has never happened. The cultural difference is so important it doesn't work.

Long time ago there was a trend to outsource to india. It didn't end well from what I remember.

> If all 98 million people were to file a claim, each would receive just 60 cents.

Thank you court of California to incentive startups and GAFA to use our data knowing their risk nothing.

Just to be clear , Plaid has raised 600+ Millions in it's lifetime , this is nothing for them.

90% of developers jobs today can be automated.

The author is largely overstating the job of software development and confusing "software engineering" with "software development"

SE is indeed a creative process that requires a lot of thinking , conflicting point of view and a often a crazy amount of research in order to do anything ( Database System , CLI etc... )

But for the rest , I'm an enterprise architect in banking , 90% of the project I'm in charge consist of "gluing" service together or adding a "screen" in the front end that calls an apis...

Startups like Bubble|0] have proven you can create web / mobile apps / apis without code ,

the only reasons we are still relevant today is for three reasons :

- There is no proper FOSS standard ecosystem to create codeless APIS and Applications

- There is no standard in the industry for the business and application layers

- Enterprise have "legacy" that is much cheaper to maintain with humans ( Devs + Architects ) rather than automate by R&D to create those ecosystem ( Labor Capital Substitution )

There is dozens of papers on 4th industrial software revolution , which at the moment won't happen because the tooling is simply not there.

Definitely 4G Software ecosystem largely automate 90% of the blue collar coding of today.
