   A front end web framework with global state management should be a last resort for a website. Coming out of the gate with it is just ridiculous IMO. Most peoples websites are just not that complex. There's like an escalation ladder in

   Fertility rate of India is below replacement. Western countries are trying to prevent super aged societies via mass migration. Of course 1) Most of the source countries are themselves low fertility and 2) the more mass migration you have th

   White Pill: My personal website now gets more traffic than my LinkedIn posts do, and A LOT more traffic than my LinkedIn profile does. The algorithmic black box sites may be good for driving traffic, but that doesn't mean they're

   I think the deep dependency graphs of modern software engineering are in large part due to peoples lack of fundamentals. It'd be a brilliant plan, if it wasn't for the fact the abstractions are so gosh darn leaky.

   It's a bit like how a static type system provides useful guarantees, but you can still do: ``` fn add(x: num, y: num) = x * y ```

   So the entire point of the (short) article I wrote was to get people to think outside of the the little box people put CRDTs in: javascript libraries and collaborative editing. Yet here we are, circling back to collaborative editing... At t

   Yes. I think G-Sets (3.3.1) are what you are looking for. https://dsf.berkeley.edu/cs286/papers/crdt-tr2011.pdf

   Let me answer your question with a question - how do you memory map in rust with the standard library? In zig it's std.posix.mmap.

    by LAC-Tech 1y ago

    Web servers, games, and applications, that sort of thing. Some people definitely do systems programming in, but it's a minority. The std library is not set up for it at all, you need something like rustix, but even that results in very

    Zig is a systems programming language. I think that's probably who it's targeting. People do systems programming in rust, but that's not really what most of the community is doing. And it's DEFINITELY not what the standa

    I can remember instant reloads of application servers on a job 10+ years ago grandpa. This isn't new.

    I think rusts glacial compile times prevent it from being a useful platform for web apps. Yes it's a nice language, and very performant, but it's horrible devex to have to wait seconds for your server to recompile after a change.

    Well we're not shy about it with other people. Why get all coy when it comes to Palantir?

    Yes I think it's best to be explicit.

    I have prepared a page that has a message of support for Palestine Action, as well as calls to dissolve parliament. I'll sleep on it, but I'll probably deploy tomorrow.

    When you said terrorist organisation, I expected to see bombs and people being murdered, so I checked out the wikipedia page. Vandalism, property damage and trespassing. Illegal, sure, but terrorism? Really now... I'd put that up on a

    I've asked some of my British friends to report my site. You are right it might still be ignored, but it's worth a shot. Just need to come up with something to put on the page.

    I would love to be blocked by the UK government. I'd wear that badge proudly. Do you think I could get them to send me a certificate and everything?

    Parliamentary democracy has proven absolutely useless in defending alienable rights like freedom of speech. I have been trying to think what sort of system is ideal to replace them. I think there has to be some kind of strong constitution t
