Hard to believe that there are people who really consider such giant dependency trees reasonable.

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who like to code in the terminal with Vim or Nano, but also install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.

Ugh, I hate using electron for these things. Yet, I am forced to do it because JavaScript and HTML are on the lowest common denominator for what the other developers know.

Is V8 Code Cache format somewhat stable? Looking at the code it currently just stores bytecode for each function and a few extra data, but no assembly.

What I'm wondering about is whether I could precompile #electronjs preload code cache for all platforms/architectures and distribute it with the application?

A couple of years ago I said that 32GB of was too much for your .

How wrong I was.

I had to work with , , , and with multiple tabs open and a bunch of apps.

Since then I always tell people to get all the RAM they can. You’ll never know what people will make you to do next. Like edit a 8K for a YouTube Short or something.

Critical Evernote Vulnerability Allows Remote Code Execution

An Evernote exploit allows remote code execution via PDF.js font injection. Opening a note with a malicious PDF triggers code exploiting ipcRenderer vulnerabilities in Electron, affecting multiple platforms.

@kirschwipfel @marcolas Great, but not what I was talking about: social.sdf.org/@mjgardner/1123

My issue is developers releasing software using an OS-neutral framework (#ElectronJs or @andros’s #Emacs thing: hostux.social/@andros/11173702) with either bespoke GUI elements that don’t match the OS or a common but never-quite-matching subset available across all OSes.

Anyway, it seems they’ve blocked me, so this discussion is moot.

2024-05-07

@boo_ @andros I didn’t foresee anyone turning Google’s #Chrome browser #JavaScript engine V8 (2008) into the server (#NodeJs, 2009) and desktop (#ElectronJs, 2013) runtimes that ate the world, but here we are.

And Electron was originally developed for #GitHub’s #Atom text editor (2008) before they were acquired by #Microsoft in 2018, subsequently discontinued in favor of #VSCode in 2022.

Don’t tell me what you can’t see happening if you don’t remember what already did

2024-05-07

@andros @marcolas The point is your architecture is the same as #ElectronJs, replacing embedded #NodeJs and #Chromium running #JavaScript with embedded #Emacs running #Elisp.

So every app using it has all of #Electron’s disadvantages:
• lowest-common-denominator #GUI obviously foreign to the host OS
• non-portable shims to integrate with host OS features
• an individually bespoke runtime consuming storage, memory, and compute as if it were a separate virtual machine

2024-05-07

@andros @marcolas Do you want #ElectronJs with #Elisp? Because that’s how you get Electron with Elisp.
