A statement made from either privilige, ignorance or both.
Just because you might agree with the actions and behaviour of your current government enough, that you don't mind them being able to have a hand in your currency, doesn't mean that can't change.
Looks really cool, though I don't know if the name is conducive to business. With just the URL I would not have clicked to see that the business is about.
Ironically I only came to this HN post and clicked on the URL because of the name. At first I misunderstood the description and thought they were doing industrial-scale packaging of magical mushroom mycelium.
I really hope they do not put the brand name on any actual products they produce. I do not want to be caught at the airport with a container in my suitcase proudly labeled Magical Mushroom (TM).
Years ago I ran an ecommerce site for gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. We certainly had nothing to do with illegal mushrooms, but I liberally sprinkled the word 'magic' where ever possible. Also the words 'Ann+Arbor'... It seemed to drive some traffic.
To me at least it reads funny because when I think of CSS I think of the language itself and not the accompanying tools that are then running the CSS.
Saying "Markdown has a CVE" would sound equally off.
I'm aware that its not actually CSS having the vulnerability but when simplified that's what it sounds like.
My main takeaway was that I had no clue how large Krill can get.
To think that Antarctic Krill is as long as the Bee Hummingbird is tall is absurd to me.
I really enjoyed building small apps with wails.
Even though people would prefer that we all used native UI frameworks, the DX is simply incomparable to that of web technologies.
And for most apps using browser based rendering won't be an issue. People often underestimate how optimized mondern browsers really are. And because Chromium is not shipped the bundle size is managable.
Not wanting to use JS on the backend I tried both Tauri and Wails and found the simplicity of Go to just work perfectly for my use-cases
Electron is quite bad on memory usage because it carries its own v8 environment on top of its own browser platform on top of using _another_ v8 environment for the nodejs part.
Tauri and Wails just use the one available in the OS (UIWebKit in macos, WebView2 in windows), it is also why they load so fast, you probably already have the heavy part loaded in memory. And, of course, brings a tiny statically linked binary instead of running on top of a massive runtime.
If you write your code such that you are hard to replace, because noone else would be able to understand what you were doing, I would consider that to be "bad taste" and "bad form".
