There are multitude of ways to package a website for a local computer, Electron and ton of more lightweight alternatives. Actually it's the most popular way to make desktop software nowadays.

As an option maybe, but why promote to store software on someone else's computer? That same static site could work locally on a browser as well.

A "love letter" would be incorporating the best of those ideas and create a modern interpretation with improvements like vector scaling.

This is just copying.

You have test strings covering all cases and they match accordingly? The same way you'd know when writing manually.

This is truly one thing AI solved. Hard to write, easy to test. No one needs to learn this convoluted syntax in the future and we're all better for it.

Sadly it looks like the other way round. EU is suddenly really frightened and feels alone, and is still hard at pleasing the US instead of going the self-sufficient way.

The cheapest Apple laptops start with 16GB now. That's enough for quite a few desktop apps regardless of Electron.

So tired of hearing this trope. Electron is alright. Memory is cheap. Tell me a single better way to write cross-platform UI other than a worse version of Electron.

You really expect that kind of support from something ahipped across the globe for peanuts? Ali/Temu and the kind serve specific purposes and they do it well.

I find reviews on those sites still useful, and at least on Ali there are a fair number of negative ones as well. Users tell if a specific part works with Home Assistant or zigbee2mqt.

I suggest to sort by order number and not stars.

A friend of mine said they would love to move out from Tokyo to these towns - lower rent, much more nature - but as a foreigner you would be extremely isolated if your japanese is not perfect, and due to rampant racism.

Somehow most countries in the world can manage it to keep low cost or even free.

What? Which company thinks juniors are just "little helpers that seniors need"?

EU companies should work on building things. EU government is there to regulate (and encourage via regulation).

This reminds me of Adventure Time where Finn (US Government) tells a goose and a fox to "now kiss":

Imagine doing something out of passion and goodwill.

The time and stress saved for users.

I shared the sentiment of this thread for a long time - have a nice setup at home and love to pause/rewind - but started to visit a small cinema as part of a club, to watch new and canvas-worthy flicks like Nosferatu and Brutalist. Regular hall with no fancy tech. It was a transformative experience, 20-30 fellow movie lovers, diverse of all ages. Smell of popcorn, you can turn and exchange a few commentary sentences (if you're the type), the grasps of people during a scene, the sense of leaving while credits roll and hasty deep discourses in the atrium.

I kinda got those remarks from Coppola and Tarantino that I found of "old man yelling at cloud" category before.

The big global business behind it surely is dead - for non-blockbuster genres - but I can't imagine the culture behind it going for a long time. It's the societal standard to enjoy this genre, and a tradition the streaming industry builds upon and uses, there is nothing else. The above flicks had minimal budget in terms of Hollywood. Cinema is here to stay.

How could 27 independent member states - instead of one federated state, which, by definition, a "bureucratic monstrosity" - compete on the world stage?

Try Moonlight, similar tech but open/no cloud auth. Works better over local networks though as opposed to internet (which you need to set up via vpn/portforward etc)

Comedy gold here!

What if they would trust the users to install whatever they wish (from other sources) and THEN provide this marvellous service in addition?

Everyone optimistic about this, but looking at the past decade, I don't think we have much to look for.

This is Germany/Bundeswehr we're talking about. They already decided on 100 billion after the Russian attack in 2022, a plan that didn't really pan out. The Bundeswehr is famous for its overspending, backwards/lazy ethics, rampant right-wing/neonazi ties. German, and let's be honest, EU government is - even now - in "play it safe" mode, not even big on words, even less on actions. They fumbled virtually every crisis since the 2000s. They let Orban/Putin puppets run rampant and veto most of the botched little help they provided, and still think he can be reasoned with after 15 years. They thought the same of Russia right up the second until a full scale invasion of Ukraine, 8 years after it started to attack it.

Europe is just hopelessly fractured, with no identity, hazy goals and an increasingly degrading economical power. I wish it weren't so, but we didn't manage to unite the forces of these 27 nations beyond some superficial economical agreements.

Offices? Company ITs buy laptops with docks. If not, SoC minipcs attached to monitors.

This question comes up from time to time, only to prove on each iteration there is nothing like HN.

Basically a second chance front-page for days old HN news.

Any chance of wireless charging? I can't imagine it being so complicated or expensive... tho most smartwatches come with custom pins so there has to be a reason.

Worst aspect of these watches are the custom charging cradles you have to lug around when travelling.

Hell, even usb-c with some cap/sliding door mechanism would be better.

Even 350kw (by far the newest batch) is a fraction of what would be needed here.

Regardless, those station numbers are also misleading. As I wrote such chargers are most often in islands of 10-20 poles so you can divide that number. Plus 350kw is almost always shared per two stations - meaning you get half if both sides of the charger is occupied.

Pipe dreams, charging with extreme wattage is not where the research should be concentrated at.

> peak charging speeds of 1,000 kilowatts (kW)

Who will deliver this in the next decades at scale? In western EU you find 150W poles at most, and that's like 10 stations/120km.

Sure I'd like to swap out a critical part of my car that is also like 60% of it's value to some random part I get in exchange at a highway station!

If you do a comparison of EU/US I guess everyone naturally thinks of something like San Francisco/Berlin and not Bucharest.

The base logic does match though. The execution is very country-dependent.

This misunderstanding about EU/US salaries is so baffling to me, how this opinion can come up still in every EU conversation. Do people really just look at $$$ without a second of thought of how governments/taxation works and what they get for that salary/taxes?
