Hi! Author of marmota here - Even though I didn't post it to YC yet: If you have any questions or feedback, reply here!

Thanks. More performant? Maybe - at least multithreading, fork/join, ... would be easier. Smaller binaries? No, probably even larger, since the chromium embedded framework (CEF) is…

As-is, it would only work on platforms where java-cef (the chromium embedded framework) works. But one could probably add other HTML renderers too (Android, JavaFX WebView, ...).

I think the biggest difference is that I am using the chromium embedded framework (java-cef), so you get e.g. the chrome debugger for debugging your HTML/CSS/JavaScript. My goal wa…

This is exactly the reason why I usually prefer a 6-hour train ride to a 1-hour flight (at least in Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Train: Go to the station (near city center), arr…

Yep. I almost stopped reading (but read on) after this sentence: The coverage, all from Blue-aligned media, largely presented Mastodon as a cool new alternative to Twitter that wou…

OK, this is now totally off-topic WRT the original blog post, but... We had a very short code of conduct at SoCraTes Austria. Then we thought about what might happen when we have a…

They probably have personal data / personal identifiable information about you when they blocked you and still know about it ... And you can ask them what data they have about you.…

Several European leaders have said publically (though in nicer words) that they don't trust America under this administration anymore. e.g. Sebastian Kurz, a few days ago (1): "The…

Maybe what's missing in my original comment... What I'm trying to say is that there is a certain kind of organization (mostly traditional / old organizations) who would have these …

If you do Scrum like that, you're doing it wrong (I know, no true Sctosman [1], and I know, there are actually dark patterns [2]). I wrote a whole book about "Agile Anti-Patterns" …

And probably als JavaScript.

I know, I am saying this every time there is a discussion about social media, but... Deleting the Facebook and Twitter apps from my phone was one of the best decisions in the last …

I agree that 1) and 3) are hard, but you don't have to do 2) like you said. Asking strangers is not that hard, and most people I know don't find it annoying to be asked. Just do no…

A designer I know IRL helped me with the design. I also had a professional copy writer I know IRL help me with the German texts (not the English ones, though). Paid both of them, o…

You are right, that's a very positive effect. But it was not my main reason. Also, don't do it for the money. Some people do quite well with books, but for me, at least, it's more …

Self publishing is awesome because you keep all the money, but it takes years to build an audience. I can totally relate to that. Some things about self-publishing were much easier…

Quitting is not unethical at all. You are not required to stay with any company.

"If I made a small site that saves some user data" Then you already had a ton of legal obligations, you were just not aware of them, since only now everyone is talking about the GD…

Yes, you are right. But still: This is easy to understand (I think I got everything I'd need from the animated gif and the one code example). It looks like it's versatile and will …

Yes. The original iPhone was: Firs, a big wow. Then a longer series of disappointments over the next few months. I remember I didn't buy the first iPhone because you could not writ…
