Could probably do that. What's your use case?

To clarify: I bought the car after I moved out of SF. I didn't need one while I was there. But I still think being trapped in the city was unhealthy for me.
comment
Buying a car after not having one the year I lived in San Francisco was one of the most liberating things I've ever done.

I think something like Sandstorm/Cloudron is the way forward with decentralization. I'm more than happy to pay someone else to manage all my services for me. But I see where my apps are ho…

This article is about htop but explains tons of useful Linux commands and idiosyncrasies along the way.

So you're saying Svelte might have the best performance, but Concurrent Mode makes it much easier to achieve medium performance (there certainly would be value in that)? Sorry, haven't had t…

Rich Harris' excellent talk Rethinking Reactivity has an interesting section where he compares a React Concurrent Mode demo to Svelte: https://youtu.be/AdNJ3fydeao?t=1128 …

Because HTML doesn't have a way to import another piece of HTML.

Does Vue use Proxy objects for the reactive state magic? I implemented something similar and that's what I ended up using.
comment
Totally agree. I built my own last year. I don't use it anymore (decided to move to vanilla JS rendering for performance, and to remove the need for a build step), but the process was very instru…

All I want is a small Bluetooth device (maybe wrist-mounted) with a few buttons, a slider, some sort of rotary sensor like a mouse wheel, and accelerometer. Then give me complete control in my phone o…

DigitalOcean?

Our '91 Tacoma (simply called SR5 back then) made it well past 200k miles and only stopped then because it got caught in a garage fire a couple years ago and melted. Loved that rig

Does this work over arbitrary concurrency barriers (ie a network), or is it for libraries only?

I recently started using Fastmail for a new project I'm working on. The web app might be the snappiest I've ever used. Way better than Gmail. Protonmail is painfully slow in comparison. I&#x…

Makes sense, thanks for the detailed response!

Apparently my information is out of date, thanks.
