And Tiannamen was crushed, but one still has to try, as the watershed moment or breaking point can come in the blink of an eye. It's my view that Occupy was dismantled by the vested interests it confronted, in the form of paid editoria

I will also propose separating transport planes. There is no excuse for mixing cars and pedestrians in an inner city. I see no viable excuse for traffic lights and forcing petrol-burning vehicles to idle. All car traffic that crosses with l

except that "making" anything, or any commands in a new language he forgot, etc = entirely unnecessary for a single static html page.

Well, if you have a path to wrapping this up as a VST, by all means. I was wondering how you feel about the idea of taking advantage of the fact that your frontend can run in any browser, in maybe considering a "remote gui in the brows

Interesting. How does this compare to various browsers "web audio" implementations?

1) I did not originate this "is trash" phrase, but replied to a parent comment you had rather excoriate. I said that Javascript is fine for what it was designed for: a single threaded UI event loop in a web browser. It is NOT good

In the sense that there's extra meta information (type) it can be used as a frontend for other things than JS, so I could easily see 1) TS to WEBASM (once JS is out of the picture, might be awhile, lol...) 2) TS as an LLVM IR frontend

gibberish? "JS as a language has nothing to do with browser APIs, why would you judge it based on that?" Excuse me? That is precisely what JS is based upon. Lemme give you a prime example: JS = a single threaded event loop, ON PU

Presuming server-side JS, as you won't run Ruby or Python in the browser, typically, you can say that all 3 dynamic languages, as such (garbage collected, heap-based, untyped) will waste computer resources and perform worse than typed

Well, places can change. Texas, despite the Republicans best efforts to the contrary, is shifting somewhat blue (purple?) lately. Demographics and generations change... I can't speak to the specifics of West Virginia, which I will admi

So which solution are you in favor of? 1) a two state solution, in which, somehow, Gaza and the West-Bank must be free to pass goods and humans with zero Israeli involvement (how? a tunnel?) 2) a one-state solution (a greater Israel) with a

I disagree. I miss Geocities, and, more recently, Myspace. Both let YOU, the user, customize and design your "home". So what if it was hard to read with 20 blinking GIFs and an autoplaying music player, it was YOURS. The worst thi
