The trick here is "python dialect" rather than full-on python. We need something that transpiles to native Unreal code, which has the majority of the verbosity and productivity aspects of Python. Yes, Verse, if i'm not mistak

IMO, unless I am mistaken, using a continually running PHP process like Swoole removes advantages you get with vanilla PHP: fully isolated requests, file based routing, etc. This is why fibers are so big. It'll bring performance withou

Been using it so far using a PPA with my own unreleased Python dialect that compiles to PHP. Gonna be a solid release. Amazing to see so much evolution for PHP- autoloading and automatic file-based routing are such killer features for rapid

Also excited about the Python dialect coming to Unreal, which should have a major effect on iteration time.

Lovely article, and makes me wonder how the python ecosystem would look today if green threads won out over asyncio. That said I do believe it's too late for this to change; for most people all that you really need to understand is the

Cool. Any insight to how Surreal DB compares to Cockroach DB?

Glad to see for nostalgia, but in 2022 are there any advantages to Pyramid over: * Sanic (has production ready built-in web server..) or Starlette or FastAPI * Django with async support As far as I'm aware, any async framework is going

It's a similar concept to Google's SPF. htmx is more light weight, and very actively maintained.

It may be time to re-visit this approach now that HTML5 is fully matured. HTML5 was only just released in 2014, and took many years to be fully supported by major browsers. At the time of JSON vs HTML, HTML was not yet in a standard place y

Privatising your internet utility never goes well, as we know from USA, Canada. Telecoms are extremely profitable, the "lower taxes" reasoning is complete BS - this smells bad.

To be fair I don't think we're going to see a resurgence of that collection of projects. hyperhype hasn't seen updates since 2019 and was not that big to begin with. Hyperscript here makes a lot of sense as it's the comp

Thought the exact same when I first started using it, then realised the benefits of the syntax: 1. It allows for the "async transparency" feature to work! 2. It enables first class event handling in a much less verbose way than Ja

It was loved. I blame all the platforms dropping support for it. Github really is git's best PR.

Fair enough, like vanilla git as of today. I do hope someday git and others employ either a git annex or mercurial-style scheme where if it's a large binary file: 1. no diff is performed, and 2. only the latest version is kept within t

How is large file support? What strategy is employed for binary file handling? How does it compare to git LFS / annex / mercurial? Aside from that, Fossil is very intriguing.

Native large file support. Git annex functionality built in = gg every other source control system.

Rootless Docker is currently the only version that does not touch iptables. Modifying iptables was a massive oversight by Docker- they really should deprecate that.

100% this. No adjustment layers stops every designer cold. Makes every other effort seem like "the road to get to adjustment layers".
