   I had this discussion today, and that was my conclusion: repeatability is the great advantage of CLIs and text files over GUIs.

   Facebook is not bad because they leak your data, it is bad because it hypnotizes people.

   So if people had more money they would buy useful things, since they don't have money they buy useless things?

   Yes, it does. Actually if you don't include the main bundle.js you'll be left with just HTML and everything will be great.

   Even better than watchify is the combo entr + browserify-incremental.

   I thought you were referring to the InterLedger Protocol.

    Are you going to accept Lightning?

    I was looking for this exactly today. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I'm redirected to https://www.savefromweb.com/inner.php and there nothing happens.

    How does the system gets information about its own price in relation to the US dollar?

    USD is not the ideal currency in terms of value stability. I know nothing about Dai, but if it works, its technology could be expanded to other, more material, more reliable assets than USD, and that would be great.

    USD can't be sent over the wire without the approval of and fees paid to banking institutions, with which both parties must be previously related and approved by.

    I don't know how that comment applies to Althea.

    By making that point its implied that he doesn't understand why has this new term, "Dapp", been created.

    Dapps mean apps on blockchain and consensus. Patchwork does not apply, otherwise one could mention "Torrents!" etc. You would be at least 20 years late to the party.

    Not exactly a Dapp, but to me the first killer cryptocurrency use case is/will be Althea: https://altheamesh.com/ , incentivized mesh-networking and internet provider services with micropayments.

    When you change the state, does that trigger a full rerender?

    Since you're using strings, I guess this same query language could be implemented in other languages also. I like this idea.

    Right, thank you for clarifying. In this case I don't think it is sooo great anymore, but it still may be useful for small projects.

    Whoa, I didn't knew that. It looks great. I'll try it.

    Apps script is very good and powerful, and it's been around since a very long time ago. It seems they'll try to push it again now. My problem with "automating Google-related tasks" was always the complexity of their APIs

    That seems nice. I don't like the `$` and the names of methods, but the idea is quite good. It's like MobX, but with the potential of being better, because of the simpler and clearer interface. MobX is a mess. Does the component g

    If you're reading this and thinking about implementing your own email registration flow, I suggest that you use something like https://portier.github.io/

    Shameless plug: this is pretty similar to my https://filemap.xyz/ in its purposes and in the usage of IPFS and eternum.io, but Filemap kinda uses geographical locations instead of emails to "send" the files.

    When it was suggested that I stopped reading I stopped reading, because I don't know what exactly will happen if I don't stop reading.

    You there are already dozens of modules that do this, right? Yours seems to only parse single lines, not the context. Anyway, that's a nice beggining.

    I guess it's time to add Python support to QueryStorm.
