I think we need a (semi-)realistic benchmark / example program to talk about these things. There are basic stuff that just plain don't work with most "low-JS" solutions. Like for example, building a complex form with int

You've misidentified the problem. We need CDN solutions for front-ends because that's the best way to deliver great, scalable performance for complex SPAs. We also need a purely client-side flow for mobile (native) apps. Additiona

You're incredibly naive. He is already an influencer and owning a social network where he gets to set his own rules would be the best way to ensure his influence increases further. Free speech on social media is an oxymoron. SM is desi

I played the original and likewise like it. I think it adds a nice twist to the old familiar levels I fondly remember from the past. I don't think its mind blowing or anything but it seems like a fun new "flavor" to try.

node has a costly and intertwined init itself, where the startup cost is 50-100ms. On top of that, `npm` similarly has a high startup cost adding to the original node cost. Node apps are very slow to start to run due to synchronous `require

From that point on, the build may become "fully unrepeatable" because previous steps may have reused cached stuff that can no longer be reproduced. You could break the build simply by cleaning some things from the cache, without c

Also, it says something about the design of `scripts` that its so easy to build something like turborepo's dependency pipeline on top of it :)

Why I prefer package.json over makefiles: - turborepo ( https://turborepo.org/ ) can describe dependency pipelines and provide automatic caching. Makefiles aren't designed for multi-input, multi-output scenarios - its re

I actually wonder if getting more people involved in politics (well, political activism, which is somewhat distinct from political action) is doing any good. It only works if you involve more people on your side, but it seems like this tend

Of course, using a bundler means you'll face several other unpleasant realities. Like - what about tests, how do they run - source maps support in node being 3rd party and unbearably slow for any medium sized project - edit:

This isn't going to fix those issues. Those issues aren't due to tsc. They're due to an ecosystem which refuses to recognize the realities of compilation and add first class support for it. Its also due to an ecosystem willin

SSD read speed for 1MB today is the same as RAM read speed for 1MB in 2008. I wonder what kind of implications this has for designing databases... or swap files.

Mozilla didn't really invent Rust, and its looking quite likely that Rust is going to be just as significant of a contribution to the world as Firefox was (long term).

I'm a mostly-JS engineer for 12+ years. JS sucks and could learn a lot from ecosystems like Elixir (and Rust). We should fix the suck first.

Predictably, got the downvotes. Nobody likes corrections and nobody likes elucidations of truth distortion.

Doesn't really work. Social media grifting can be really profitable - it brings in audience, clicks, ad money. Even just audience is enough as long as you can come up with something to sell later. Even if the original paper was an unfu

Just like we recognized tabloids for what they were, we need to recognize social media for being the same phenomenon disguised in a "grassroots" cloak (i.e. crowdsourced tabloids) There is nothing organic about the speech that hap
