If the carrier is compromised an attacker could destroy millions of phones and cause humongous economic losses no?

I would like to half agree to this.

Saying "Performance is not complicated" is not wrong. People and the systems set up for an application make it complicated. Its harder to check and verify.

I work in UI performance and the biggest thing slowing me down is always people

I am cursed that I always have to work on legacy products that were built many years ago and didnt consider these things.

I hope we eventually get a good/simple language/framework that can compile to native code. Even react native for mac/windows is good enough now.

Im not sure if people are getting the biggest problem in electron desktop apps.

Its RAM usage not the disk!!

Why are they all making the same thing in different ways?! I have never worked on an electron app where the executable size was an impediment to the business. Its always the RAM/CPU usage. If we are going to work on the same webviews like electron and others, how will this make any difference?

This is for tooling.

Node.js has been extraordinarily useful for building build tools. We're outgrowing it's capacity and rightfully moving to a compiled language. Also faster tooling is essential for establishing a high quality feedback loop for AI agents

It's not a good piece of software. Breaks in many places

What would make this super easy to adopt?

A simple page which shows what native components are available with/without the need for polyfills for a given browserslist config

The diagrams generated are arbitrary and make no sense. This needs improvements

My shower is theory is that there are infinite universes getting created all the time and we can never know about it because we're restricted in this universe. I love having these talks with my daughter.

Congratulations on the launch!

Have you considered any sort of templating like htm or JSX? Because it's a bit harder to read and I believe to work in a team it would be much simpler if there was a template syntax.

This is just beautiful artistry. I absolutely love it! Only thing missing is the click/clack sounds on those buttons

I have a naive question here.

Could this have been avoided if they had used Rust? Or is this a bug that can happen even in Rust code too?

Yet they've had astounding success and is the most widely used operating system. Maybe usability and ease of access are far more important than beautiful design
