Where in that paragraph does it say anything about perfection being the only thing that's acceptable and that you shouldn't teach your kids coding because of it? Or that you should teach first graders the peano axioms? Did we read the same article? I don't remember that part of it... This paragraph just before the one you quoted sums up the meaning pretty well behind it. >Coding books for kids present coding as a set of problems with “correct” solutions. And if your children can just master the syntax, they’ll be able to make things quickly and easily. But that is not the way programming works. Programming is messy. Programming is a mix of creativity and determination. Being a developer is about more than syntax, and certain skills can only be taught to the very young. It does not say you shouldn't teach kids to program. It says that you should teach them the other skills they'll need to write programs rather than just teaching them a bunch of syntax and solutions to problems. That is good advice. Getting a child to read through and learn only from a programming book for kids would be like giving them a book of grammar from a foreign language and expecting them to get fluent in that without taking them to talk to people or interact with people in the language they want their kid to learn. Part of learning to program is learning to solve problems in a logical step by step manner. I've seen plenty of people who go through programming courses, who know all the syntax of the language they learned but can't write a simple program with more than 100 lines. The article is basically saying you need to avoid your child becoming like that if you want them to learn to program. It's like people just read the title and immediately became defensive without actually understanding what he's saying....though to be fair like I said...it's a shittily written article with a shitty misleading title. But I really think the message behind it is being misunderstood.

The latter has been true in npm for awhile now, but it doesn't help as much as you might think due to how bad the node.js community is at versioning things properly in the first place.

The semantic nature of HTML was overpromised and underdelivered, since semantics are heavily context dependent. Adding semantically dead elements is the only way to obtain certain visual constructs, because e.g. only flow elements are allowed inside `<LI>`.

Does Yarn actually use the lockfile? I.e. it always installs the locked version unless you explicitly request a version update? I ask because npm doesn't, not in a way that would make sense to anyone but npm devs anyways.

Certainly [ARexx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARexx) and ARexx Ports were cool back then. Mind you, on a conceptually related note perhaps underappreciated is that any modern Linux desktop has the ["D-Bus"](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/), on which varuious apps and services directly expose lots of stuff that you can quite easily talk to directly from Python and a host of other scripting languages. e.g. #!python from pydbus import SessionBus bus = SessionBus() notifications = bus.get('.Notifications') for i in range(0, 100): notifications.Notify( 'Hi', 0, 'dialog-warning', 'ALERT', f"Everything is fine {i}", [], {}, 5000 ) fm = bus.get('.FileManager1') fm.ShowFolders( ["file://{}".format(os.path.expanduser("~"))], "blah" )

The poor performance of Java compared to native code is caused by cache behaviour. Random access to memory is slow and the language semantics require lots of it. (Also, there is a ludicrous amount of abstraction, but that is more a matter of programming culture.) As a side note, this [study](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.0252.pdf) comparing Rosetta code entries found the C programs to be 3.2 (!) times faster than the Java ones. The tasks there certainly qualify as 'doing mostly numerical stuff'.

IANAE but I would think so. Otherwise the benefits of the lock file would be completely moot. The whole idea behind a lock file is to get rid of any "works on my machine" issues. The only instance I can think of where the lock file wouldn't be used is if you didn't specify a package version in your package.json file. That would cause the lock file to always have the latest version (i.e. not locking it).

If your app is best suited as a native app, make it a native app. Wrapping up a website and pretending it's a native app just shows that you don't actually care about your users, because Electron does absolutely nothing to benefit them, it only serves to waste their time and money.

> I have seen advice about avoiding floating point in finances repeated very often but never actually suffered from it, so I think it's not a useful thing to say when using 64-bit floats. The government audits us every few years. They're anal retentive about being overcharged a cent, but they have no problem paying for an auditor. They complain about how frequently you round up for numbers that should be rounded up. Oh, but if you combine this bill with the next one, you overcharged us. Our billing department/secretary just rounds things down to the nearest cent to avoid questions. We're an engineering company and not a bank, so it's cheaper than getting it right.

What do you mean? Python’s venv has been around for a long time and it’s always worked flawlessly for me. No hacks. Then a requirements.txt to give pip specifying all modules and versions is pretty standard. The only other dependency manager I can think of is conda but that’s nowhere near 10 competing approaches.

Frankly I found your argument extremely confusing. To me Kubernetes and Swarm operate on the same level of abstraction, that's why I would prefer Kubernetes' richer feature set and broader support despite the added complexity. That's more or less where I'm coming from. If my assumption is wrong then could you explain to me how?

Right, this is how a lockfile is supposed to work - versions are locked unless you run an explicit upgrade command. Npm, as usual, decided to do something that makes no sense to anyone but them: running an npm install is actually equivalent to running yarn upgrade. The only way to get what should've been the default behavior is to run a completely separate command confusingly called `npm ci` for reasons that again, only seem to make sense to the npm devs.

That hasn't been my experience. Packages adhere to Semver; it's been that way since the beginning. Furthermore, NPM defaults to installing dependencies with caret version ranges, so by default package dependencies only lock down the latest major release. Allowing multiple versions to coexist without a name change encourages keeping packages up to date, because it allows you to update your dependencies without fear of creating conflicts for dependants downstream.

True, but you get back to the classic problems of portable user interfaces that exist now almost entirely unchanged from the Java AWT vs Swing in the 90s. AWT simplified using native UI in Java apps and devs hated it because it was *hard* - getting the UI to look rigth still required manual testing on each platform. When Swing came out, the looks-the-same-everywhere-but-native-nowhere of its era, a lot of devs switched over immediately because it was *easy*. I'm guessing that electron perf will improve, and enterprising devs will duplicate each platform's look and feel in CSS and script as packages you can drop in. You'll still need multiple layouts to feel really native, but with continuous improvement any app will get there if it's worthwhile. Then us old foggies will tell our stories of "back in my day, we manually managed our HWNDs and custom window classes, and were happy to!" and "meh, wtl did it better, and in less than a megabyte to boot. Thats right, we could do a UI in a megabyte, stop sneering."

No, that's false. If it were true, you wouldn't be able to check the lockfile into source control because it would change every time a new dev cloned the repo. From [the docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install): > This command installs a package, and any packages that it depends on. If the package has a package-lock or shrinkwrap file, the installation of dependencies will be driven by that, with an npm-shrinkwrap.json taking precedence if both files exist. npm ci is for non-interactive installs. The difference is that it _exclusively_ relies on the lockfile, throwing an error and exiting if it isn't present or doesn't match package.json.

npm gets installed by default when you install Node, therefore for all intents and purposes it's "Node's package manager". I see where you're coming from, but as far as I'm concerned bugs that were fixed years ago don't count towards npm being "terrible". In its current state, it's much much better than Rubygems+Bundler.

> One solution is to drive down the costs of development, leaning on cheaper solutions (e.g. Electron). It used to be that all you had to do was develop for Windows, and you would capture like 95 % of the market. Today, if you are serious about native development, you'd have to write 4 or 5 versions of whatever app you're doing, and each platform seems to recommend some specific, incompatible technology to build the app with. You'd have to write versions of the same app in Java, C#, Swift and maybe Python. So, it's a pretty safe conclusion that driving down the cost of development is critically important, and so is sharing the code between the various implementations. To a degree, this matters more than the money you can get out of users for particular platform. You'll always be motivated to sharing the implementation between the various platforms as much as possible. All we're really doing now is just trying to discover the pieces of the best possible cross-platform development and delivery platform. For me, the best I got going is some kind of SPA type technology hosted on a server, which takes care of all the desktop OSes and mobile, in a pinch. If there are native apps, they're mostly just a shim that hold a webkit view and maybe supply some additional native hooks to enhance the experience in an app context. Perhaps one day I can use something like react native, and actually generate each platform's application from some common codebase, but when I tried it, it seemed barely able to run a hello world application reliably.

Good thing then GCC can cross compile and can fill in hardware intrinsics with software emulation. What exactly is your point? Did you write the GCC frontend and backend for ARM? Or did you just leverage what was already there? Only on proggit is centuries of compiler work casually dismissed and contrasted with another compiler that optimizes dynamic code to get almost bare metal performance.

Microsoft, why? Just why? Edge was in the right way, its engine(EdgeHTML) was good enough and supported the modern standards the right way and it actually was never the problem to me, the problem was how RAM consuming it is + Feels very basic. If Microsoft just fixed the RAM issue and improved the performance/focused on it, and actually improved the UI and helped in extensions so that it doesn't feel basic anymore, it would actually be great. I didn't need another Chromium. I actually wanted it to die, I just don't understand the direction Microsoft is taking right now, they designed some of their apps with Elecancer(like VSCode and Skype) and now they're moving to Edge, Chromium sure is fast and all but it's a fucking huge RAM cancer that is one of the reasons why stuff like Electron are hot garbage, yet Microsoft is using it, there were a lot of choices if they wanted to replace the engine. I really hope that Microsoft gets really careful with handling Chromium because the situation can really gets much worse since this is Chromium we are talking about. I just wished they never took this path. Stuff like Chromium should be eliminated, not supported.

I can see you couldn't even take the time to google that: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install Straight from npm. In case you're too lazy to click that link: >This algorithm is deterministic, but different trees may be produced if two dependencies are requested for installation in a different order. hence, non-deterministic. Not to mention that lockfiles don't actually lock anything. That's another thing that at least Bundler in RubyGems land gets right. `npm install` will modify your lockfile. You have to use `npm ci` to get reproducible results. Another reason it's not deterministic. npm can't even get lockfiles right. It's frankly ridiculous.

To be honest the last time I touched Qt5 I felt the need to strangle someone. Had to compile it for a system well past maintenance and Qt5 claimed everything was okay, all dependencies are as they should and the platform library required to start any Qt5 application would be compiled. Only it wasn't. Turns out the xcb headers on the system were a touch too old, which didn't stop the build script from explicitly listing them as good to go before it silently disabled everything depending on them. On the other hand good luck getting electron run on that system, getting anything remotely current to compile and run on that target is always fun.

You’re getting downvoted, assuming because your comment comes off overtly negative, dismissive/exclusive. Let’s be positive to share and encourage; well be more successful in introducing and gaining adopters. I share some of your views of OOP because of my own experiences. I quit programming after college because it wasn’t enjoyable; it was overly complicated (SOLID) and buggy (mutations, global variables, etc). When I tried programming again (introduced by react and redux, it overnight made my code so much simpler and easier to reason about. It was like eureka and a lightbulb going off. Knowing a function only returns a new value instead of mutating a variable, for example, made it so easy to narrow down where I made a mistake/bug. No more solid; everything is just a function. And that was just from avoiding mutation - not even knowing about functional data structures, algorithms, functors, monoids, semi-groups, etc. The really cool part was how my code evolved. I recently did a project in Ocaml where after looking back at my code, I saw my functions more as a declaration / template to solve a given problem, instead of a series of steps I have to mentally walk through. This is surely anecdotal experience, but it was earth shattering to me.

My point was that the little amount of work I had to port the software to ARM was far from 2 or 3 times the amount of work of keeping it on its original platform only. > software emulation. Why would anyone write explicit SSE optimized code if software emulation was even remotely fast enough for the task?

> No, that's false. If it were true, you wouldn't be able to check the lockfile into source control because it would change every time a new dev cloned the repo. No shit, that's why it was a horrible design. I've gone back and tested this, it looks like npm quietly changed the behavior to be at least somewhat sane in npm 5.10.x+ (naturally, the changelog makes no mention of this). Before that, the developers were *adamant* that this idiocy was the intended behavior. What I said is easily reproduced on npm 5.1 through 5.8. > npm ci is for non-interactive installs. The difference is that it exclusively relies on the lockfile, throwing an error and exiting if it isn't present or doesn't match package.json. Which should have been the default, not a separate command with a bizarre name (and yes, I know what CI stands for. It's still a really stupid name to use here).

Agreed. But not all Electron apps are like that. And the flip side is that a native app developed in AppKit might cost much more to consumers since it costs so much more to develop. So perf isn’t free.

That's misleading. Lockfiles lock the tree, not just dependencies, so unless you're updating dependencies you'll always get the same tree: > package-lock.json is automatically generated for any operations where npm modifies either the node_modules tree, or package.json. It describes the exact tree that was generated, such that subsequent installs are able to generate identical trees, regardless of intermediate dependency updates. ([Source](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-lock.json)) npm install will _not_ modify your lockfile unless you change your package's dependencies. So yes, if you go and add a new dependency to package.json, then *obviously* npm will update package.lock. That's normal and correct behavior. Bundler does the same thing.

Agree. But why Julia? Has anyone seen [CLASP](https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp)? It's a Common Lisp implementation able to directly integrate C++ libraries without need of an adapter layer. The implementation is 10 to 20 times faster than Python and successfully used in science.

The VIC-II video chip in the C64 is better in some ways and worse in others. It is better in sprites and getting all 16 colors on screen at once, although limited to 2 or 4 in each 8x8 cell. The Atari is better in having a beautiful palette of 256 colors instead of the 16 ghastly drab colors of the C64. What were they thinking? The Atari has a GPU which allows the screen be changed on every scanline, allowing different color flexibility than the C64. The C64 video chip is not a GPU. If you want anything fancy, you're going to burn the fewer CPU cycles the C64 has, to do it. The SID sound chip in the C64 is better at string and woodwind sounds and has a wider range of tones, but is limited to 3 voices. The Atari's POKEY has 4 8-bit voices, each pair of which can be combined into a 16-bit voice. There are SID players for the Atari that show how much the POKEY can do what the SID can do. The Atari has a faster 1.79 MHz CPU compared to the C64's 1 MHz CPU. This makes it easier for the Atari to do more calculations per second, particularly useful for calculating 3D coordinates for 3D graphics.j The C64 has KERNAL which is basically an API of routines for accessing files, printing on the screen, and doing other I/O. The Atari has more of an operating system allowing access to various devices using device names similar to MS-DOS. One use of this is an 80-column display device connected to a joystick port can be printed to just like on the built-in 40-column display. The Atari can also boot from tape or disk and a variety of DOSes can be loaded depending on the needs of the user. The C64 doesn't even have proper disk commands available. So when it comes to games, the C64 has an edge in putting 16 colors where you need them, and many larger sprites for game players and enemies. It also has an edge in music, although the 3 voices need to be multiplexed to make it sound really good. The Atari is also a very good games machine, after all Atari was primarily a games company, but the graphics and sound are slightly less flexible. When it comes to apps other than games, I think the Atari wins hands down. It has a faster CPU and more powerful operating system. So that is the hardware. Let's look at software. It's not that the Atari was incapable of having the same games, but Atari was slow to release technical details to programmers, hobbling the system early on. The Atari was also more expensive than the C64. Once the C64 was on the market, Atari was unable to keep up. It's sometimes pointed out that piracy on the Atari was also a factor. It's not that there was any less piracy on the C64, but that the larger user base of the C64 meant that companies could still make money on their software because there were enough users who didn't pirate it. The Atari had a smaller user base so even if there were less piracy, there wasn't enough of a non-pirating user base to justify writing software for it. So there ended up being a LOT more software for the C64, although most of it is games. If you're into gaming, then the C64 wins hands down. If you're into anything besides games, the two systems are pretty comparable. For most people, the games are all they care about. Personally, I got into computing for the programming and have never been a big gamer, so the Atari hardware is more interesting to me and there are lots of programming languages available for both systems.

Oh, I had an '030 overclocked to an amazing 42MHz once... Sure, my understanding is Akiko is a bit crap too and its utility drops off with faster cpus and fast ram, but it was alongside a 14MHz '020. A little "cheating" like doubling 100 horizontal lines to 200 for display cost-free with the copper is possible on the Amiga, too. A CD32 with a somewhat faster '020 and maybe some fast ram seems more plausible than an '030 at the time in question if they wanted to meet console price points. Hmm. I'm also now vaguely wondering if something non-cpu could drive akiko in any way. Everyone loves [Copper Danger Mode](http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Hardware_Manual_guide/node0029.html) to let the copper program the blitter and ~~trash all system memory astonishingly quickly when you inevitably fuck that up~~ do cool effects. Could anything other than the cpu write-read akiko and would that even be worthwhile? Literally haven't tried, whether on real or emulated hardware. (edit: well probably not the copper anyway, looks like [akiko lives outside traditional $dffxxx](https://github.com/tonioni/WinUAE/blob/master/akiko.cpp#L275) . Oh well.)

I don't think `ci` should be the default behavior. If it were, you wouldn't be able to update your dependencies by editing package.json. (Which is fine in a non-interactive CI, but poor UX for normal use.)

And yet, apps like Slack, Git Kraken, Atom, Mailspring and so on likely would’ve never seen the light of day on Linux if not for Electron. Electron drastically lowers the barrier for writing and maintaining cross-platform applications, and I think that far outweighs its disadvantages. I don’t really see any insurmountable problems with Electron that can’t be addressed in the long run as the adoption grows. The reality is that maintaining multiple UIs for different platforms is incredibly expensive, and only a few companies have the resources to dedicate separate development teams for that. The value of having a common runtime that works reasonably well on all platforms can’t be overstated in my opinion. This is especially important for niche platforms like Linux that were traditionally overlooked by many companies. If it was as trivial to maintain multiple versions of a native app as you think it is, then we would've seen a lot more cross platform apps before Electron showed up.

> Even if that’s true, you could have just as easily done the same in spring or spring boot. Maybe, and if the client mandated java I would have. But this is not a strong use case for the JVM; so instead of another bean mess, they got a handful of small purpose specific microservices and saved a bundle on both dev time and operational cost. Believe what you want; but if you havent done enterprise Java, you have no idea just how horrible it is.
