In this regard RISC-V has a whole lot of catching up to do if it wants to be something other than a footnote in the story of the ARM takeover of the world. I know the openness of the RISC-V platform is ideal to hardcore FOSS fans, but they&

Yes, well, such is the case with the Dave Thomas Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Product RED… Any good they do is all with the bottom line in mind. Meanwhile, the felon who gets a $15+/hour gig in an Amazon warehouse during the hard

On a parallel Earth, Vox has published an article praising Amazon to the high heavens for hiring felons and troubled youth. Nobody wants to hire ex-convicts, yet when they have nothing to lose (like a decent job) they're at far greater

Was the Master System significantly more affordable than the MSX? If not, I could see how Japanese consumers would find it a better deal to buy the more capable full system instead. Reminds me of how Commodore's attempt to make a game

Swift was annoying in the early days since searches would bring up info on the international payment system. Lua and PHP have nice searchability. At least, it's fairly easy to weed out results on the Portuguese moon and the Philippine

Okay, then it sounds like we've been using a different definition of "async" all along then.

Well, I understand what they can do in desktop and mobile GUI apps. But server-side web requests don't work that way; there's a beginning and an end and a pretty straight line between the two.

I'm trying to envision a situation where you'd want to make more than one database request at the same time. Like I guess on a blog or something, you could load the user record of the current user and then load the blog post detai

I don't understand. What can a Node app do in between making a database request and when the response arrives?

Well, when you start with a "tutorial" (or whatever you call this thing) like this one, you get a false idea of just how complex web development actually is. I once wrote an e-book on how to use the now mostly defunct Kitura web f

This is an "um ackshually" reply. Nobody used LiveWire and it died a swift death. And don't "um ackshually" me about saying "nobody." You know what I mean.

They allowed you to use PCs and communicate with the outside world? Were you able to notify other people that you were in this situation, or did you know already? Who did this to you, and where?

Well, it's not really a decision of the modern web… it's a decision of the primordial one which has stuck around. Did you know pretty much all modern browsers support <marquee>?
