you would be surprised; i would bet on the plurality being > $300k. hard to survive on much less in the bay area, in any case.

something around 20% of the site is from the bay area, where that is a somewhat middling salary, so yes.

and of course they can voice it, it's just boring; the point being there are more than plentiful amounts of folks that can trivially afford it.

agreed about the kindle being more comfortable, but, the best reading device (+ camera) is one you always have on you.

i love that we get these comments, even 20 years later. the phone costs what many (most? even?) folks on HN make in a day, after taxes.

will buy it for the kid cue feature alone; what a neat idea. i mainly use my iphone for reading books and taking pictures of my kids so the format will be perfect for me.

that's not really the purpose of the library. think of it more like react.

hopefully can share some more about it one day!

no, it's not open source. beyond basic things like amending the styling primitives to be aligned with our aesthetic: - missing primitives (toasts/cards/stacks/inline editable fields/alerts/chips/inputs, etc) - domain heavy components (eg, autocomplete, charts, in our case FHIR renderers) - app systems (eg, i built an actioncable like system which has realtime support for dioxus)

... his whole point was that people don't want to live in cities, which is just factually incorrect. just baseless, pointless idiocy that is just par for the course on HN these days.

sometimes i just really enjoy comments that are just so amazingly breathtaking in their stupidity. it's such a treat.

i've recently built a very complex healthcare application in dioxus and it's been a tremendous joy to work with. right now it's web-only, but the app does run fine as a desktop app when we need it.

having SSR built in means that the UX is amazing - really complex pages load basically instantly, and it degrades just as easily for folks that haven't loaded the WASM. server functions were also fantastic to work with and easy to reason about. and, the hot reloading they built means that most UX changes are reloaded within a ~few seconds, meaning iterating is fast and (mostly) painless.

the native component library dioxus has (dioxus-primitives) is... sparse so i did have to build out a hundred or so basic components, but i've done that across various stacks 5-6 times now over my career so it's a fun little journey at this point. for the components they do provide, the quality bar is very good.

congrats, lev! brings back fond memories of database fires.

i'm sure you'll get 100x comments about "why not just have one fast SSD? it can do 2000 trillion writes/s"
