Interesting. I gather you migrated a React App? Did you somehow find that there was nothing a full-JS client SPA could do that Live View couldn't? Did you have to make any compromises or any downgrades in the UX?

Out of curiosity, what do you use?

these are ways to move most of the client-side logic to the server, it's not exactly no JavaScript but there is much less of it

I'm aware Inertia.js is the odd one out of the bunch, it still allows the server to do most of the work.

With NixOS, you can even reinstall your system on every boot: https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings (I don't have this setup myself)

Isn't that about coffee not caffeine? I don't see how what caffeine alone does could be in any way helpful, outside of as a pure performance enhancer for very specific situations.

There's a lot of people that like masks, staying home, a lot of people that like that others are being forced to do things ("political enemies"), etc. I think it's more than most suppose, and they are vocal, too.

I don't know how useless that would have been but in the case of Omnicron it does seem basically useless. I don't know, I don't have studies on hand or anything like that, but when you look at the numbers you have to wonder..

A lot of people at all levels are having a huge boost in the power (or influence) they can exert. It's hard to convince them to give it away, especially when they have still a sizable crowd cheering them on.

Not accusing the parent of this, but there is a significant portion of the population that would be quite content that this doesn't go away ever.

Magnesium Chloride is the cheapest, magnesium oxide has the strongest laxative effect. Take between 5-10 grams per day spread out throughout the day. That will yield around 625-1250 mg elemental magnesium, 1.5 to 3x the RDA, but you likely

I don't want to discourage you but it appears to me like with this variant (and probably even more with further variants), it will be impossible to avoid infection whatever you do (and I mean, mitigation strategies will have probably n

Get on a lot of magnesium + thiamine (this is important, they go together). Whether you quit coffee or not, but these two will help you with the withdrawal symptoms (and they are BOTH depleted by regular caffeine intake).

Coffee the plant may be good, caffeine the molecule is not. There are other things in coffee that may be helpful, but caffeine is a poison and only that, I think there is no debating that (but I'm interested if anybody has hints to the

Superficially it looked like that... but I know very little about Logo, although Wikipedia puts it in the "Lisp" family so?

It's kind of surprising that the makers of Copilot or others haven't come up with something like an automated, "smart" rubber duck.

Actual writing is the best form of pseudocode :) I like the anecdote, this and the two-pizza rule are some nice bits of Amazon "management lore".

Contratulations, you have discovered [Hammock-Driven Development]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc )! (also https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hi... )

Well, in practice you can have binary input, as many programs do, but human-readable free-form text is the simplest interface there is. We just need more modern terminals that can handle that.

by lambdaba 5y ago
Yeah but how do I pipe to other programs? How do I schedule something and integrate it with my filesystem? Also the syntax is complicated (don't underestimate this, for many of us trouble parsing syntax is a distant memory). Also easy

I think the latter argument is 90% of the reason. Too bad this new generation doesn't have an opensource base of software to work with, or rather somehow didn't get acculturated to the existing one. Actually, that's probably

Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. ; basically. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy

It's pretty nice indeed. I like the use of keywords for sizes "thin", "large", and the shorthand hex for colors, and the fact that there's zero boilerplate and only styling what's actually used.

Bash is the Basic of our era, the fact that it's so easy to do simple things explains why people are so often ready to use it despite its perceived and real shortcomings. Hopefully one of the new shells gains enough popularity to &quo
