So, why is electron a bad idea?

Stormtroopers are robots!

Jokes aside, you don’t have to have everything explained to understand something. Yes, they didn’t show the bodies but you with a little use from logic you can see that Leia complaining about her pacific, weaponless planet being blown means it’s not desert. Same goes for the Death Star on which you see there are people until a few seconds later where it blows up. Same goes for everything.

Sure, maybe a kid won’t pick it up but that doesn’t mean Star Wars was light hearted in the OT

Suure, Aalderan is in the sequel; Death Star 1 and 2 is in the sequel; Obi Wan cut the limbs off a few aliens in the first half of A New Hope. Slavery is shown with Princess Leia in the third instalment of OT. There are more women in the same scene with basically no clothes that make you think they aren’t “just” slaves. And I almost forgot, Han gets tortured in Ep 5 as well

Like, the hell are you smoking lol

I mean, in Lion King and Land Before Time do:

• people get slaughtered?
• limbs get cut?
• younglings get slayed?
• there is slavery
• there is a fascist regime

If yes, then yes they aren’t light-hearted movies. You consider SW a light hearted movie just cause you haven’t put much of a thought behind what things really are, but SW isn’t light hearted at all lol. Unless, that is, for you that stuff is light hearted, but then I dunno what you may consider not light hearted

in the original trilogy billions of people were killed, tortured, enslaved and all of that; in the prequel trilogy, it’s just as bad… Star Wars was never “light hearted”, just silly at times

2 millions troopers died on Death Star!

If only they released it for PCs as well

-something… uh…. A big number

What were we talking about again?

“P-please be gentle, Xbox-kun”

“Don’t worry, PS-chan” he caressed her cheek “it will be fine. I love you.”

“I love you too…” she softly whispered, letting a loud squeak go a moment later — her cheekbones blushing of a gentle, celestial blue

— Fuck you for making me think about this cursed crap

that would change nothing to you. Unless they are seriously consuming a lot of memory and filling up processes while not needed, then it’s fine. Otherwise it means the app was developed by a bunch of monkey, but that could happen - maybe even more likely - with native software as well.

Tldr: to the end user it changes literally nothing nowadays, to the companies and the devs it changes quite a lot. And to some degree, end-users won’t have to deal with shitty ugly apps (unless the designers are jerks, in which case you are probably working in the same company as me)

Your kernel allocates all the ram anyway lol, it literally changes nothing to you

I use both daily, never noticed a problem. MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB ram. Eight!

Making a normal app costs much more than making an electron app, so I press X

Have you ever had, in good conscience, a problem caused by an electron app using too much resources?

Because we are, again, in 2023: the standard is 16GB of RAM, with CPUs much more powerful and with a lot of more cores and thread per cores than the past. Complaining about a PC resources being used when these doesn’t actually create a problem is like complaining about GUI being bloat; or JS/CSS being bloat.

This of course doesn’t mean electron is perfect, cause it clearly isn’t, but it’s a good enough solution that can be iterated upon (see Tauri) and improved (the DX on electron is shit). Nor that every app should be in electron.

How will you know you are deficient in B6?

lmao, yea. Besides, it’s not like electron is that bad either. We aren’t in 1990, why would you care if electron uses a gb of ram or ten processes or this or that… they think that native means good, but more often than not native means a shitty ugly unusable application that will work (not really) just on windows

It’s technically still an exclusive if you consider windows IS Microsoft. That is, it will run on Linux obviously

I only got quite simple tests tbf, but I don’t look for senior positions. Main thing is to just get the problem solved writing decent code (if it’s a home assignment) or to walk them through your reasonings

The only time I got a leetcode waste of time it was a Dijsktra/A* problem (which I failed)

Why? Tech tests are fine, absurd complex tests for shitty jobs are not

chroot chroot chroot!

I am CHROOOT
