Re:Uno Platform 4 on Wednesday December 01, 2021 @03:37PM (#29408837)
TL;DR:

* Uno is a vendor-led Windows/WinUI inspired and based UI platform that was originally concieved as a way to port modern Windows Apps to other platforms. Since then, it's evolved a lot of different capabilities and paradigms, but ultimately is basically cross-plat WinUI with extensions. * Avalonia is a OSS platform concieved as WPF with some of the warts removed, and cross platform. It uses a lookless theming and drawing primites instead of native APIs/Controls to render it's UI. * Maui is a .NET/Msft-blessed platform that is basically a rebranding of Xamarin.Forms with some improvements and renewed investment. It also largely uses native APIs/controls, and has a contruction style that is kind of a mix between WPF and WinForms.

Maui does not (at present) offer Linux support. There's a community effort, but AFIAK it hasn't gotten a lot of steam yet.
Recognizing that YARP's goal is to be, well, a reverse proxy, I'm none the less hopefully that a Toolkit-like ecosystem that is currently missing with the stagnacy of Ocelot pops up around YARP.

.NET has trimming now, so it is 5 MB? (Possibly less!)
Pretty similar except for multi-cluster support, but I'd also call out https://octant.dev as a pretty great cluster GUI.
Also closed source and appears to plan on having a pricing model later on.
That's because the issue they're trying to solve is being slowed down by existing JavaScript tooling and infra. This is very explicitly to improve Dev UX. And they already called out the most important concern when switching to a new lib:

> The framework is heavily optimized for performance.

The intent of this RFC is to improve the places where JavaScript is already used like management tools and editing.
Re:JWT is Awesome on Tuesday February 18, 2020 @12:51PM (#22358197)
You may only need 10 bytes of info, but that JWT is a lot more than just a data blob. It's a signed set of user info. If you don't need that extra layer, sure, then drop to an opaque token. Complaining that a signed header is large, however, seems a little silly. It's also worth mentioning that HTTP/2 also does header compression which helps with this.
Re:The State of Serverless on Monday February 03, 2020 @02:59PM (#22228294)
The title should be more something like "The State of AWS Lambda". The FaaS/Serverless ecosystem is larger than AWS Lambda.
Re:What happened to Mint? on Thursday January 23, 2020 @02:17PM (#22130752)
It has them, but I have to say it is a _slog_ to use them compared to early-days Mint. If USAA could give them a coat of polish and a speed boost then I'd drop Mint wholesale.

I'm really intrigued by this, but the lack of bank syncing is kinda killer for me. That said he's been adding features at a pretty fast clip so it may have the level of parity I want this year.

I'd recommend checkout out Redux Toolkit and reading over the docs. Severely cuts down the boilerplate, but still walks you through the general ideas and fundamentals in a great way.
In more recent versions this exists, though I'm not sure how long it'll let you push it off.
It's changed. You do have to explicitly opt into to it, but you can sideload UWP apps pretty easily these days.
Re:Bringing asm.js to the Chakra JavaScript engine in Windows 10 on Wednesday February 18, 2015 @04:15PM (#9070995)
I think this is far less true. Many of Microsoft's recent decisions arguably have no net benifit to Windows, and in some cases could be seen as counter productive. The lockin is no longer for Windows, but Azure and Microsoft's tools.
