@CongoCart @ibuildthecloud It is pretty sad how people keep making mediocre versions of electron (using the buggy and slow system webview), claim it’s more efficient (which it won’t be when you inevitably need to use CEF) and get 3,000 likes on twitter.

Nathanael Anderson@CongoCart·5d

Actually it isn't JS that is a memory hog, it is WebViews -- the minute you strap a webview onto something it is going to eat > 200mb at the minimum! I did an entire blog series with detailed measurements. Tauri, Wails, Electron, etc -- they all use about the same memory because of the Webviews. The interesting thing is that Native doesn't always fix the issue, for example; Flutter Desktop is also just as big of a memory hog as Electron/Tauri/Wails. However the biggest memory issues are caused by poor coding practices and not caring. x.com/CongoCart/stat…

I don't get why people keep reinventing electron. The problem with electron is JavaScript, not the container. JavaScript is an absolute pig when it comes to memory and CPU. I would love for someone to really fix this for desktop apps.

@jarredsumner I’m curious how good mythos (and other internal models) are at statically finding leaks and crashes. Not yet a replacement for a more rigorous type system

why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.

@emm0sh @broblas @getPlasticity External references are sort of “easy” but the question is what to do when the original ref file is gone. We can keep a copy in the .plasticity file but then I kind of wonder what the value is.

@brotzky I could certainly style the blank content better and animate the window size. But in my case, would you agree that the blank content looks weird?

English

Brotzky@brotzky·20 Nis

@nk It's because the webview I insert loads basically instantly :)! I thought of the did-finish-load but felt that masks the problem a bit. Personal preference, but I prefer to see something "working" instead of nothing. x.com/brotzky/status…

@brotzky One thing you can also look into is bytenode. It will complicate your build process but it will reduce your javascript parse/eval time by ~50%. I think for plasticity the difference is 800ms parse without vs 400ms with bytenode.

Taking a shot at this we never know 👀 BatchedMesh powered by MultiDrawIndirect has been a dream for a long time. #issuecomment-4259276305" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/…

Renaud@onirenaud

What is happening with Multi Draw in WebGPU? Chrome 131 shipped experimental support for multi-draw indirect that didn't work for 10+ versions, and even 15 releases later there is still no update? Multi Draw is widely supported by backends and is an obvious win.

@hedinist_ @corsaren Tyler and dwarkesh have hosted events together so they invite the comparison. I like Tyler. I think he is what you get when you have podcaster is who is a a genius and who has seemingly already read every book that has ever been published.

The questions need to be just a little bit challenging tho and I think dwarkesh does a fine job here. Ada Palmer and Sarah Paine (both dwarkesh “discoveries”) are academics advancing specific theses of history. Poking them a little bit brings out the best in their arguments and also keeps them from overstating what they can prove. Cowen can sometimes demolish a guest which is interesting but less so in a podcast format.

English

corsaren@corsaren·9 Nis

@nk Yeah, this is roughly what I told her. Given the vast diversity of experts covered and the lack of background knowledge in the avg listener, the job of a podcaster is NOT to be super smart, but to ask questions that help bridge the gap between guest and listener.
