Re:Using Java for the front-end of a web app in 2022 on Thursday September 01, 2022 @02:18PM (#32680700)
I can recommend Vaadin[1]. It feels like a successor to GWT, feels natural for backend develops and looks similar to Swing. A big component library is included and it offers binding for Typscript webcomponents (there's a frontend-centric variant of the framework named Hilla too).

Frontend states are held in a backend session, so it's safe for manipulations but i'd only recommend it for management UIs.

Re:Atom now opens files larger than 2MB on Wednesday June 10, 2015 @06:38AM (#9691073)
On Windows I always used HiEdit http://www.winasm.net/free-small-fast-text-editor.html Written in asm and can open files including several gigabytes.

Vim does a quite good job too.

Looks nice and reminds me of Seti (https://github.com/ctf0/Seti_ST3)
Re:Google, Microsoft and Amazon pay AdBlockPlus to unblock ads on Monday February 02, 2015 @12:43PM (#8985449)
And here we are... that's why AdBlockPlus isn't reliable anymore. They started with helping the user getting rid of all the ad-ridden websites and now they are monetizing it (not that it is wrong, but there should be another way - they are crippling their product).

Currently I'm using uBlock on all browsers using EasyList blocklists on all browsers.

Re:Ask HN: Do you have reliable UI tests? on Friday January 30, 2015 @02:54AM (#8970975)
We have ~10.000 selenium- and htmlunit-tests, run on multiple VMs to test against our product. Writing and maintaining tests is quite good due to a lot of helper classes, but test-execution needs ~24h. Currently we are trying to decrease the number of ui tests and increase component tests which should run a lot faster.
IMHO the Raspberry Pi brings a lot of processing power - depending on what you'll do, that might be more than enough. It brings a lot of addon-boards, tutorials and a good community, so it might be a good starting point.
Re:Opera 24 for Linux released on the Developer stream on Monday June 23, 2014 @05:38AM (#7930994)
Well there are 2 features I really miss in Chromium (which are implemented in Opera now): * easily Add/remove websites from the speeddial * closing the last tab won't quit the browser (this annoyed me the most)
Re:Opera 24 for Linux released on the Developer stream on Monday June 23, 2014 @05:09AM (#7930929)
Who would have expected that? Maybe this can be a userfriendlier alternative to Chromium? All that is missing: opensource it.

Furthermore "...to find his bed surrounded by police officers. Automatic weapons were pointing at his head..." - that doesn't sound like Germany. Guns are only drawn if you are visibly armed.

Prettyprinting/unobfuscating the JavaScript sourcecode (like in chrome and opera) would be nice.
