    Perhaps not but when it is aggressive, it is very deadly. They told my dad they were thinking he could have 10 years, he got three. Seems like when it stops responding to hormone suppression things can deteriorate quickly.

    That was my first thought! https://couchdb.apache.org/ is pretty good though is it still the incremental views with JS?

    Basically we are in this scenario: https://xkcd.com/927/ Honestly though I think WASM might be the final state of the web.

    Perhaps it is just how it was implemented the last time I used it but rST+Sphinx was so finicky and annoying that engineers just stopped updating the docs.

    I was thinking zfs as the base filesystem with zvols for the Fly Machine so that would be you raw block device. I'm not sure how send/recv handles the trimming problem you outlined though

    Honestly I think Elixir has made some great strides in the past few years to also be an interesting alternative. Bumblebee, Livebook, the NX project are also awesome pieces of tech
