That's a bargain, $2k for 5 weeks in Baja Sur? I've been near Todos Santos since January and the prices on Airbnb are, frankly, ludicrous for monthly rentals. But then again that's the new normal, sky high rents everywhere. H

Your entire argument is predicated on building an SPA; if you don't need an SPA then you de facto do not need a frontend framework (which is what the OP is implicitly saying, do as much as possible server-side). Now, saying that, the

I see nothing; for the most part there is no mind's eye, but there is a mind voice, and that's what performs mathematical operations (and everything else for that matter).

Same. Are you able to clearly manifest an image of anything in your mind's eye? If not then you might have aphantasia (i.e. "third eye blind"). When I was younger I sat several Vipisana and Zen retreats across multiple tradit

Cries in removal of abstract types (e.g. `val x: A#T = ...`). While Scala 3 filled a soundness hole, it opened a practical crater (and no, path dependent types are not a viable substitute). Too bad, many nice improvements overall.
