1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

It's entirely theoretical; Italians are fully-charged at all times.

I know less about that stuff than the back end of a donkey, but the numbers look impressive. I'm shocked that anyone doing this stuff cares about performance. Sometimes I think the worst thing that happened to our industry was the availability of MIPS, GBs, and TBs out the yin-yang.

I started programming when performance was highly valued, and resources were scarce. I still try to code as if both of those things were still in play.

Where do we put questions about Electron development?

In Nuclear Physics? Next to proton, neutron and moron??
Ducks and hides on the way to get the coat
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You are going to need more than your coat, once the J.S.O.P 3000 has been activated.

I'm not positive that I know.
I hate to be negative about things, but in this case I'd be charged if I answered.

The problem I'm having is that it's essentially a web site that runs on the desktop.
I'm not really sure how I feel about it because it's all javascript, and I freakin' hate javascript.

I can understand that.
If it quarks like a duck, it's probably a water fowl - and JS is particularly fowl.

I'm toying with the idea of re-writing my reputionator app, and was thinking a cross-platform approach would be cool. However, after looking at the size of the disk footprint (over 50mb), i'm having 2nd thoughts.

50Mb is nothing these days - it's only a 1.14m stack of floppy disks ...

You can find some alternatives here: tools-for-building-cross-platform-desktop-apps-with-web-technologies[^]
What I have heard is that besides the large footprint, it is also very difficult to write good behaving applications in Electron, so I would not recommend it for any complex application unless you have a team of developers behind you that can solve all the issues.

I am a team of 1.
Ever since the "cross-platform" idea was invented, it's been rediscovered time-and-again, that the juice ain't worth the squeeze, and targeting one platform is always the best idea. That was back in the mid-80's.
35 years later, nothing has really changed. And that's sad.

I've been investigating Electron for an app I want to rewrite but I got put on hold when I read an article ?somewhere? on uSofts new framework to be released with .NET 6. Microsoft unveils .NET MAUI for cross-platform apps | InfoWorld[^].
I don't know if it will be something I can use or not, but I'm too busy right now anyway.

It's bad enough that multithreaded code is nondeterministic.
I propose that it is also meta-nondeterministic: You can not even count on it to be non-deterministic
When you need it to be unpredictable, the scheduler will inexplicably run your timeslices the exact same way, even when threads are executing on different cores, and even reboot to reboot.
I'm stuck on creating an *example* simply because I cannot create a situation wherein two secondary threads appear to be in competition (with the third thread being the main application thread) on a dual core ESP32 running FreeRTOS. I can do it where one thread is in competition with the primary thread, but it's as if the scheduler is just a dog when it comes to scheduling between two threads on the same core or something. Grrr.
It's bizarre.

Threads are like fireflies. They tend to synchronize into repeated patterns.
