If making the rich trade their money for something that will hurt them mentally is "serving" I don't know in which world I'm leaving anymore.

To this day, managing state in React remains an open issue.

Not even if that app had a splash page at findjamsessions.com totally tailored to your jamsession needs and a special category and mode inside it called "jam sessions" with guitar pictures in the background?

I like the landing page a lot. Very good pictures, very clear.

Concerning expansion, I guess the article is not claiming that it is good, it doesn't even mention this "feature". I guess it's just saying: "make can do everything your gulp can, it's better, faster and more r

Not to mention that gulp, grunt (do people still use this?) and webpack configs are written in JavaScript, so they're likely to have very hard to debug errors in them on the first 5 revisions.

You would probably need another query language, but that would come with time, after people had gotten used to the idea. With that said, there are NoSQL databases these days whose query language is easily expressed as file paths. CouchDB, f

make is scary because people use autogenerated Makefiles. After you've tried to naïvely read a Makefile for a medium-sized C project you'll never want to write a Makefile yourself. That said, there's no tool that works so sim

The website is pretty, but I will not download. I'm also not a musician looking for a jam session, so don't listen to my feedback. Nevertheless, I would like to ask: why an app for musicians-looking-for-a-jam instead of an app for

I must say "Honeypot" solutions don't work at all.

If the sync is without servers, what is the service you're offering?

There must be a way to explain the principle behind quantum computers for a layman that understands both computers and quantum mechanics. Where is that explanation?

No, they can't. Also, the battery can't handle your laptop open 24/7 just to serve a couple of files you _might_ need someday in your phone or other computer.

I don't trust myself enough to keep track of a local database of passwords, because of that for years I sticked to the tactic of repeating the same 2~3 passwords over and over on all websites. Now I'm using https://less

Wait, what? js-ipfs runs in the browser just fine. See https://filemap.xyz/ .

Not the same use-case. Today you have mirrors, tomorrow you could have multiple IPFS gateways, which would just take a hash and return a file. Besides that, IPFS could be used to fill the BitTorrent niche -- so it would replace both mirrors

Dropbox is a company that hosts your files. If it was a feature of the operating system, who would host the files?

Wasn't Dropbox "a feature, not a product"?

That's horrible. But I can grasp some beauty in the ugliness already.
