Discord issues with electron: theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2022…

OMGUbuntu list of electron apps: omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/02/best-e…

So, what IS electron, exactly?

electron is a framework that lets developers create applications using web technologies, like javascript, HTML or CSS. It's open source, and it's cross platform, meaning that apps built with electron run on Windows, Mac and Linux.
ectly inside of the app, instead of being accessed on the internet.

So why do developers go the electron route?

Developing apps using native technologies on all platforms takes a long time, a different set of skills and knowledge for each platform, and so you need more developers, more time, and more money.

Electron lets you develop ONCE.

Second reason: debugging code for web technologies like javascript is pretty easy compared to lower level languages like C, C++, or objective C. Javascript is interpreted line by line, so noticing where the error is is way easier.

Another reason is that electron apps can auto update very easily: all you have to do is make sure that your electron app can detect when the code for your website has changed, and download the new files on your computer, a quick reload of the page, and you're up to date.

But, electron has a bunch of issues as well.

First, electron doesn't integrate really well with the operating system: it's just a web browser displaying a website that is stored on your computer instead of being stored on a server. This means that if electron doesn't support a specific feature of your operating system, the apps using it also won't.

A bigger problem, though, is the fact that developers often don't update the electron base, or not often enough. Electron, using CHromium, needs to be as up to date as any web browser you'd use everyday, to ensure that security flaws are patched.

That's often not the case. And it gets worse when you take into consideration operating system integration. An example is Discord on Linux. It uses an older version of electron, that doesn't support Wayland very well. electron does have wayland support, and good support at that, but Discord, by not updating the electron version they use, deprive users of that support.

And then there's the performance and resource usage. Since electron apps ship basically the whole of chromium's codebase, they aren't small. Discord, for example, once installed, weighs more than 700 MB. Almost a gigabyte. Even the most basic of Hello World applications would take about 100MB, just to display a line of text.

And there's the performance impact: chromium isn't a lighweight browser at all. Discord, again, on my system, with all its processes, uses about 480 MB. And that RAM usage is the same whether the app is minimized to the tray or fully open. GIMP, when opening a new blank document, uses 500MB.

And still, specifically for us Linux users, electron means we get applications on Linux that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

Advanced Off-Gas Treatment in Plastic Pyrolysis Systems

The management of off-gas emissions in plastic pyrolysis operations has become a critical focus area for sustainable waste-to-energy processes. As global environmental standards tighten, pyrolysis plant operators must integrate sophisticated gas purification systems to ensure compliance and maintain operational efficiency. The optimization of off-gas treatment not only mitigates environmental impact but also enhances energy recovery from the process.

Nature and Composition of Pyrolysis Off-Gas

During thermal decomposition of plastic waste, a significant fraction of volatile compounds is released. These gases consist of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, sulfur compounds, and trace elements of chlorine and particulate matter. The composition varies according to feedstock type, temperature, and reactor design. While a portion of this gas possesses high calorific value suitable for energy reuse, the remaining fraction contains pollutants that require effective neutralization before release.

Unprocessed off-gas can pose challenges such as odor emissions, soot formation, and secondary pollution. Therefore, a multi-stage treatment system is implemented to capture, refine, and utilize the gas safely.

Primary Gas Cleaning Stages

The first stage of gas treatment involves separation of solid impurities. Cyclone separators and filters remove entrained carbon particles and condensed tar vapors. This preliminary step prevents fouling in subsequent units and maintains stable pressure within the plastic into fuel machine.

Following particulate removal, the gas is directed through a series of condensers where heavy hydrocarbons are liquefied and recovered as pyrolysis oil. This step not only reduces contaminant load but also contributes to material valorization by recovering usable fuel fractions.

For gas containing high chlorine content—particularly from PVC feedstock—dechlorination units are employed. Alkali scrubbers or catalytic neutralizers convert hydrogen chloride into inert salts, preventing corrosion and ensuring that downstream components maintain long service life.

Secondary Treatment and Emission Control

The secondary phase focuses on chemical purification. Wet scrubbers and packed towers introduce neutralizing agents such as caustic soda or activated carbon to capture acidic and volatile organic compounds. In advanced systems, catalytic oxidation units are integrated to break down remaining hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water vapor at elevated temperatures.

Activated carbon adsorption beds are often installed as a final polishing stage. These units effectively capture trace organics and residual odor molecules, ensuring that the final exhaust meets stringent emission limits.

Some plastic pyrolysis machine configurations incorporate regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) to completely combust non-condensable gases. The recovered heat from this process is redirected into the reactor or used for preheating feedstock, improving the overall thermal efficiency of the operation.

Energy Recovery from Treated Gas

Instead of complete incineration, many facilities channel purified non-condensable gas back into the system as an auxiliary fuel. This self-sustaining loop reduces dependency on external energy sources and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions. The calorific value of this off-gas—often exceeding 30 MJ/m³—makes it suitable for maintaining reactor temperature and powering ancillary equipment.

Through controlled combustion and efficient heat exchange, the recovered energy supports continuous pyrolysis without compromising environmental standards.

Compliance, Monitoring, and Technological Progress

Regulatory frameworks across Europe and Asia now mandate emission monitoring systems for all pyrolysis installations. Continuous emission monitoring equipment (CEMS) tracks parameters such as SO₂, NOx, CO, and particulate concentration in real time. This data-driven approach enables operators to optimize scrubbing efficiency and document regulatory compliance.

Recent technological advancements have further refined off-gas treatment. Innovations include plasma-assisted oxidation, ceramic filtration, and modular dry-scrubbing systems capable of operating with minimal maintenance. These developments enhance the economic and environmental performance of plastic pyrolysis facilities.

Toward Closed-Loop and Low-Emission Pyrolysis

Effective off-gas treatment transforms the pyrolysis process into a near-zero-emission technology. By integrating mechanical filtration, chemical absorption, and catalytic oxidation, operators achieve cleaner air discharge and improved energy yield. As pyrolysis plant systems evolve, the focus increasingly shifts toward circular resource recovery—where even the waste gases are converted into usable energy streams.

This combination of engineering precision and environmental responsibility positions advanced gas treatment as a cornerstone of modern pyrolysis operations, enabling the sustainable transformation of plastic waste into valuable products and clean energy.

Starting a new business is an exciting and challenging journey. While founders are often preoccupied with product development, customer acquisition, and fundraising, compliance can sometimes be overlooked. However, compliance is a critical aspect of running a business that, when managed effectively, can support rather than hinder your startup’s growth.

Identify Your Immediate Compliance Needs

In the early stages of a startup, it’s not necessary to have a full legal department. Instead, focus on identifying the key compliance obligations that are relevant to your business at this point. This includes essential tasks such as company registration, understanding directors’ duties, maintaining shareholder records, managing basic contracts, handling payroll and taxes, and obtaining any necessary industry-specific licenses or permits. Avoid overcomplicating things by focusing on the compliance items that could have immediate financial or legal consequences.

Develop Routine Compliance Processes

Making compliance a routine part of your operations can significantly simplify the process. Establish a schedule for recurring compliance tasks and stick to it. For example:
- Monthly: payroll processing and VAT/GST accounting checkpoints.
- Quarterly: reviewing board minutes and statutory filings.
- Annually: preparing financial statements and filing annual returns.

Convert these tasks into simple checklists to reduce decision fatigue and facilitate delegation. Document each step in plain language so that any team member can follow it.

Select the Right Tools Wisely

While there are numerous tools available to assist with compliance, it’s crucial not to overdo it. Basic accounting software, a secure cloud storage solution for corporate documents, and a calendar with reminders can cover a significant portion of your compliance needs. Automate routine tasks such as bill payments and statutory reminders to save time and reduce errors. However, avoid using too many different tools, as this can create additional complexity. Instead, choose tools that integrate well with each other and align with your existing workflows.

Outsource When It Makes Sense

You don’t need to be an expert in every aspect of compliance. In fact, outsourcing certain tasks can be a smart move, especially when it comes to tasks that require specialized knowledge or precision. Corporate secretarial services can be particularly valuable. A reputable provider can handle company filings, maintain statutory registers, prepare board minutes, and issue share certificates. This allows founders to focus on running and growing the business.

If your startup is based in or expanding to Asia, consider looking into secretarial services Singapore. The market there is well-developed, and many providers have experience dealing with cross-border compliance needs. When choosing a vendor, test them with a small project first, check their turnaround times, and ensure that they can work seamlessly with your chosen tools and processes.

Integrate Compliance into Product Development

Compliance should not be an afterthought but rather integrated into the product development process. If a new feature involves handling payments, personal data, or exports, it should be flagged for legal review early in the development process. Create a short intake form that developers can fill out before launching any sensitive work. This approach helps to ensure that legal issues are addressed early on, rather than becoming a last-minute crisis that disrupts the product launch.

Maintain Effective Governance

While board meetings and formal minutes may seem like a formality, they are an important part of corporate governance. However, you don’t need to hold lengthy, elaborate board meetings every month. Instead, have short, focused sessions that cover key topics such as strategy, major risks, and decisions that require board approval. Ensure that precise minutes are kept and stored securely. These records can provide valuable protection for the company and its directors if any questions or disputes arise in the future.

Provide Targeted Compliance Training

Compliance training does not have to be a lengthy, arduous process. Instead of holding full-day bootcamps, run short, practical sessions that cover relevant topics for different team members. For example, engineers might need training on data handling, sales staff might benefit from learning about contract basics, and everyone should be aware of expense rules.

Use real-life examples from your business to make the training more relatable and effective. Regular, short refreshers are more beneficial than infrequent, lengthy training sessions. Additionally, make it easy for staff to ask quick questions about compliance, such as through a dedicated Slack channel or by setting up rotating office hours with the person responsible for compliance.

Implement Proportionate Risk Controls

Not all compliance risks are created equal. It is important to implement controls that are proportionate to the severity of the risk. For high-risk areas, such as customer data breaches, implement strong access controls, encryption, and regular audits. For medium-risk areas, like contract errors, use templates that have been reviewed by legal counsel and establish clear approval thresholds. For low-risk areas, such as office supplies, a simple expense policy may suffice. This approach ensures that high-cost defenses are focused on the most critical areas, without burdening the entire company with unnecessary processes.

Standardize Contracts and Approval Processes

Using template agreements for common contracts such as NDAs, contractor engagements, and vendor agreements can help streamline the process and reduce the risk of legal disputes. Designate a specific person, or even an external lawyer, to approve any deviations from the standard templates. Additionally, establish clear approval levels for different types of contracts, specifying who can sign contracts under a certain amount and who is required to approve contracts above that amount. This helps to ensure that contracts are reviewed and approved appropriately, while keeping the sales process moving smoothly.

Focus on Accurate, Timely Financial Record-Keeping

Many founders get bogged down by the desire for perfect financial records. However, it is more important to aim for accuracy and timeliness rather than perfection. Reconcile accounts on a monthly basis and ensure that payroll is handled correctly. If necessary, consider hiring a part-time bookkeeper or outsourcing bookkeeping until you are ready to bring it in-house. Having clean, up-to-date financial records can make tax filings and fundraising much less stressful.

Stay Informed About Regulatory Changes

Regulations and laws are not static; they change over time. It is important to have a process in place to stay informed about changes that could impact your business. This could involve subscribing to regulatory update emails, following industry associations, or asking your corporate secretarial services provider to keep you informed about important changes. Focus on changes that have a material impact on your product, customers, or cash flow, rather than trying to keep up with every minor change.

Prepare for Audits and Investor Due Diligence

When it comes to audits and investor scrutiny, being organized and prepared can save a lot of time and effort. Investors and auditors will typically request a set of standard documents, such as signed statutes, shareholder registers, board minutes, and financial statements. Keep these documents well-organized and easily accessible, using a simple folder structure and clear naming conventions. If you are planning to raise funds, prepare a data room checklist well in advance to ensure that you are ready when the time comes.

Hire the Right People for Compliance Roles

As your startup grows, you will likely need to bring someone in-house to manage governance and compliance. When hiring for these roles, focus on finding individuals with the right mindset, not just those with extensive experience. You want someone who can translate complex rules into practical, business-friendly processes and who can work collaboratively with the product and operations teams, rather than being seen as an obstacle.

Maintain a Healthy Work Environment

Burnout is a common issue in startups, and it can often be exacerbated by vague responsibilities and unclear expectations. To avoid this, make compliance roles and responsibilities explicit and well-defined. Use short playbooks and clear escalation paths to ensure that team members know who to turn to for guidance. Celebrate small victories, such as a successful audit, timely compliance filings, or a positive third-party review. Recognizing these achievements can boost morale and demonstrate that compliance is a valuable part of the company’s growth, rather than a burden.

Conclusion

Compliance does not have to be a daunting and overwhelming task for startups. By starting with the essentials, automating routine tasks, outsourcing when appropriate, and providing targeted training to your team, you can manage compliance effectively without it becoming a drain on your resources.

With the right approach, including the strategic use of corporate secretarial services or secretarial services Singapore, startups can remain compliant and focused on their core business activities. By keeping compliance processes light, useful, and predictable, you can protect your company while also supporting the well-being of your team.
