+1 for use of the term magpieism ;-)
- certifiedloud 6y agoI didn't understand the reference. I looked it up and may have found it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie#Cultural_references https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie#Cultural_references > In European culture, the magpie is reputed to collect shiny objects, often in fiction things like wedding rings or other valuable or significant objects (often causing consternation at the disappearance, and false accusation of humans in the plot of the story); the most well-known example probably being Rossini's opera "La Gazza Ladra" (The Thieving Magpie). Recent research [8] has shown that there is little truth in the legend, and that magpies - like many animals - are actually unsettled by shiny, blue, or otherwise unusual objects.
- runawaybottle 6y agoMight be time for the Magpie stack, Rust based static file blog generator (compiled via WebAssembly) via AWS Lamdas written in Go, wait no, Deno. Or should there be a Rust based React framework? How would that work? If it exists then it’s gotta be more performant, so yeah, let’s use that. I don’t know if this is magpie enough now days. It’s hard to even make fun of this because the irony is even the joke becomes outdated lol.
- steveklabnik 6y ago> How would that work? There are a few different Rust frontend frameworks that compile to assembly that are roughly based on the ideas of React. Yew is the most prominent.
