   While those things are great, they're also one-and-done transactions. All the other person needs to do is say thanks and be appreciative. Building friendships is actually harder. It takes more time and more effort, on many separate occ

   Isn't the example difficult to parse only because it's unfamiliar to you? As someone who has never used zig, I feel like 5 minutes of study would make this line easy to read.

   Can you explain how people were only "inconvenienced"? Is everyone in New Zealand a white collar worker? I don't know anything about it, I take it you live there?

   I might argue someone is not "free to choose" if they haven't been taught how to spot dark patterns in rhetoric and advertising.

   It's true that society uses consensus as a proxy for truth. Even when scientists make a new discovery, it isn't considered "truth" until they convince the community – sometimes even taking decades! Sadly, this consensus

   Isn't this what Solid.js does, aside from semantics strictly equal to react?

   This article writes under the assumption that fat is bad for you (high fat = junk food), a false idea that still permeates much of society today.

    I'm not sure that's a good reason. Handling "just trust us, we'll cover it later" is as essential skill when learning anything, especially things related to programming.

    The reason I point out the problem of objective reality is your comment of "is this almost certainly an objectively and comprehensively true statement? I suspect not". Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying. In fact I don&#x

    I don't think it's useful to blame consciousness in the context of this thread. Why not keep going and blame the big bang for the mass shooting in Austin yesterday morning? Technically true, but not useful to point out. Additional

    There are religions, there are ideologies, and there are tribalisms. Tribalism is the underlying cause of most of humanity's bad behavior. And unfortunately, it creeps into religions and ideologies more often than not. In other words,

    Perhaps even more powerful would be spreadsheets + Prolog. Since Prolog's main strength is finding answers for you, I imagine putting that on grid would have very interesting results.

    Thanks for building this! As a hobby game designer, I've been wanting something like this for a long time. I'll be digging into the docs[0] to see if I can prototype one of my card game concepts. I've also just added PlayingC

    I feel the same about static site generators, which is why I'm working on Lancer[0]. It's designed to be as close to plain HTML as possible, with just enough features to support generating static sites, and even SSR and server e

    You can argue that, and I might agree with it, but it's not regulated as such.

    I care about my clean code. Nearly every line of code I write is "clean", because it affects the bottom line . Messy codebases and bad architecture quadratically drive up the cost of development time. I've experienced this

    Yes, hyperscript is a well-established term, and is still in use today. An unfortunate name clash.

    For those who have these requirements, you should try Mithril.js. It's small, robust, stable, has a strong community, and has been around since 2014. It's as close to plain JavaScript as you can get. Mithril's flexibility is
