That's a great idea, can write on any device! In the early 2000s, I had a setup where I could blog by either email or SMS. By default emails would become new posts. SMS would append to the latest entry, or I could create a new one with

I think there was some token POSIX compatibility in Windows NT back then. Probably for some government contracts.

In theory that's the point of scooters like this. Take public transportation to as close as it takes you, and then use a scooter for the "last mile". I think that's fine for those averse to walking. I personally prefer t

> Is the current 40hw/8h socialist? Well, if you look at what organizations were demanding it back in the day, it certainly is. It's kind of funny how deeply the "socialism bad" runs in Americans

It might be enough to force near prices to include their environmental impact. I think that's what the post says about meat becoming like caviar. So it would still be available, just way too expensive for every day meals.

Chromebooks have been able to run Android apps for a while, so dev environment via Termux was possible. And newer Chromebooks also can do a Linux container. But indeed, cheap Chromebooks are not that fast, so running tests etc remotely can

I used a ChromeBook as my primary machine for several years. Nice machines, and you can do Linux things when needed (back then, developer mode and crouton, now I guess the better-supported crostini). Later I switched to working on a tablet

Theoretically you could use a portable HDMI screen and a battery pack, but that's quite clunky. The Galaxy Tab S4 supports DeX right on the tablet AFAIK.

Looks really nice! Cool ideas on the component API as well. Just a question, did you consider using the FBP graph JSON format (schema in https://github.com/flowbased/fbp/blob/master/schema/graph.js..

Depends on the size of the tablet. A full-sized iPad? Probably no. But I used a Nexus 7 as my primary mobile device for a couple of years without issue. Shame good-quality cellular small tablets are not really a thing any longer. Though, I

Nice to see this concept get into the big cloud platforms. We built something similar couple of years ago, primarily to get a sandbox for some compute jobs we were running on Heroku: https://github.com/flowhub/jsjob
