What would be the reason to use this as opposed to something like NextJS or RedwoodJS?

by xmonkee 3y ago
Maybe edit your original comment saying that it's not factual?

no-GIL libs will work with the GIL on surely? So you won’t have to support both?

So you installed ChromeOS on a non-chromebook, yeah? That's a wild alternative to a linux laptop. I will try this out

by xmonkee 3y ago
Please, I need more details. - which chromebook do you have? - how do you run your dev stack? - Can it handle developing a node + react app?

what was the api like back then that let a webpage write to storage? Was it just calling the browser’s “save webpage” thing? And storing the state in html somehow?

oh man, i got mandrake (or maybe redhat?) from pcquest in like 1998 and what a ride that was. The monthly pcquest drop was always a monumental event to my 12yo self.

This is one of the better (and better looking) landing pages I have seen for a programming language. Very good copywriting too.

by xmonkee 3y ago
So, again, what's the benefit? Support and documentation?

That has very little to do with having javascript on your page.

by xmonkee 3y ago
I didn't say it should. I'm saying don't worry about it if it doesn't matter to your customers.
103.
by xmonkee 3y ago
Seconding this. Don't listen to HN nerd shit. Listen to paying customers. Nobody with a budget gives a fuck about "javascript disabled"

You don't "lose" consciousness when you fall asleep. Sleep is not the absence of consciousness, but the consciousness of absence. What's missing is what you think of as your "mind". If that's not the case,

What exactly is this? Something like jsfiddle? With a cloud-deploy option? Are there more docs somewhere?

This will always fail because the premise is wrong. Consciousness does not arise in the brain. Brain activity correlates to impressions in consciousness, but consciousness is not a “thing”. Consciousness is equivalent to identity. You are t

Bizarre take. A plain gray box with the performance of a mac pro is incredibly appealing. Understated power is a very very popular aesthetic in luxury products.

Why the fuck would they call it a “hobby”? How does that help sell units or motivate the employees or the third party developers or anything? Sure, you can have the opinion that it’s not a major product (debatable), but why would they call

Garbage collected "modern" language that builds native binaries? There is very little that can compete with that. I don't really like Go, but if I ever need to write a binary I will reach for it, because I don't really

Take one more step back. When you are in deep sleep, your mind is absent, and so are all sensations, but what is it that registers these breaks-in-mind-continuity? You are that host, that reality, that being that never sleeps.

>Different photons traverse it Yeah, but "it" is the same sky. The presence or absence of particles does not alter the sky itself. More accurately, space is independent of it's contents. Mind you, this is only a metaphor.

I admit my language is squishy. Sometimes it helps point to what I'm trying to point to. And I know where you are coming from, as someone who was a materialist for much of my life. We are simply talking about different things. You are

I don’t just believe it exists, I know it exists, just like you know it exists, because you are conscious, because you are . Are you aware of your own existence? How can you know anything if you don’t know the knower? There words may n

In the sense that you are asking, I can't answer this question, because I don't know. Perhaps ants and up have it? idk, there is no way to know. There is no way to even know if other people definitely HAVE consciousness, I take it

Look, there is more material about this stuff that perhaps any other subject explored by man, but it frequently comes in ecclesiastic garb and that may or may not be to your taste. I'll can link both spiritual and secular starting poin

Sure, but it entirely leaves off subjective experience.

by xmonkee 3y ago
I agree with everything you're saying, but I think we just are referring to different things when we say consciousness. Take any qualia, and there are 2 sides to it: The object of it, and the subject of it. A red light is seen. In the

I have not read the article but I would love to have a real debate with a materialist. All anti-meterial models will skew sightly mystical so if you have zero appetite for that I won’t bother. But I’d like to try to change your mind if you’
