Would you mind giving a few more details about how your setup with Paddle and the extension works?

As a chaser to this article, the technologist Saul Griffith at Otherlab has been consulting with presidential candidates and has a pretty strong case for optimism, provided we take massive coordinated action right now: "Decarbonizing w

Since I haven’t seen this in the comments so far, I’ll suggest that you begin to reflect on what’s truly meaningful to you. It sounds like you’re able to have a lot of ideas that aren’t particularly meaningful, which are probably ideas you

I'm acquainted with the creator of a similar tool that I think is awesome and might provide some inspiration: https://screenotate.com/

Once this pandemic is past, I hope industries will retool the same way in developing decarbonizing technologies.

Now imagine if, after this emergency is over, industries retooled like this to decarbonize.

Agree with parent comment. I don’t get the sense from reading the article that the author even used Svelte much — it sounds more like they just read the marketing.

I love the effort to make the stack fully transparent and learnable. This seems so important! I wish more people had the ambition to re-invent the basics of our computing platform to see how things could be different. Now my question is doe

I don’t know much about it. From what I’ve seen it looks like something Stephen Wolfram can use really well but I wonder if other people are able to use it.

You might be interested in this project: https://twitter.com/geoffreylitt/status/1224094967922073600?... There’s a paper about it coming soon that gets more into some of the things you mentioned.

I think making software human-understandable (and by extension modifiable) is one of the biggest problems for software engineering. As it stands, both beginners and experts have difficulties understanding exactly what their own programs are

Lots of good advice in this thread but I would add something: your designs will almost always be wrong in some important ways because without implementing them you almost certainly don’t fully understand the trade offs. It’s better to have

These fees are remarkably short-sighted. We're in a climate emergency and we need massive adoption of electric vehicles powered by clean electricity as soon as possible. Anything that gets in the way of that goal, especially in the nex

Yep, this is advisable by at least one actual scientist, too: https://medium.com/otherlab-news/decarbonization-and-gnd-b8d... Also eating less or no meat helps on an individual level.

To actually answer your question, no, $$invalidate doesn't mean all the DOM nodes get recreated. You can see that in this example: https://svelte.dev/repl/d3898004792c467d8eacefb054d8263a?ver... Also, Svelte has k

Saul said had a relative with forested land that he could cut sustainably to make up for the energy he couldn't quite get from rooftop solar of his SF home (if I recall correctly).

In your personal life, switch everything you can to electric: electric cars and electric home heating/cool (with a heat pump or radiant hyrdonic). If you can, get solar panels to power these things. This will decarbonize you and your f
