The horse has bolted on this one, it turns out that nobody wants to download a native app any more.

there were many things that drove people to make everything a webapp but one of them is that native apps are only really native on one platform. writing good crossplatform gui apps that actually look and feel native on the supported platforms is a pain in the rear end. javascript is bad but so is wxwidgets.

Of course, web apps don't look or feel native either (they look and feel like rear end) so it isn't a very good reason

It's not so much looking native as looking decent, which for native apps means looking native but for web apps means something different.

it sucks that webkit is literally the closest thing to a good, actually-cross-platform environment to write a cross-platform app in, but when it's the best we've got it shouldn't be shocking that people use it

especially considering the rise of mobile

nobody has expected native apps to “look native” since like 1996, and none of the remaining popular desktop apps even bother to try. the most widely used set of native apps ever written, microsoft office, has used its own non-standard widget set that completely changes appearance with every major release for decades. and don’t even get me started on web browsers.

p much this

html/css is far from perfect, but it's amazingly robust and can be shoehorned into a whole lot of use cases

for native cross-platform, my favorite is xamarin because i like c#, but even with that xaml is basically "xhtml but shittier"

does windows even have a native widget set anymore (that you’re supposed to use). I do actually install stuff from the windows App Store from time to time and it has all obviously been custom widgets or straight up electron

c big data s: remember than "big data" problem we had over 60 gb of data? turns out everything was slow as molasses because our galaxy brain sysops silently degraded dwh to a hdd instead of ssd during one of their planned (text message at 10 pm if server can be shut down for 30 minutes, if you dont respond within 2 minutes it gets shut down) maintenance operations.

dwh as a term speaks nothing of the amount of data, it's just a system for centralised storage of processed data from one or more sources, that is primarily used for analytics. and no, while our dwh is tiny 60gb is 1 staging area table from a new system we integrated recently, that is a postgres 8 era mess with documentation being 3 a4 pages in russian

yes you could use s3 for dwh storage, especially in an atomic dwh. that would be a chore to integrate into your bi process though

:rip: although athena on surface level looks cool, i hadn’t seen that before. we use tableau now, before that i had to maintain an R web app with custom dashboards while every product had their own custom rolled analytics solution so each cross-department meaning would devolve into a big “our numbers vs your numbers” slap fight
