Yeah I recommend reading “JavaScript the good parts” and don’t use anything far beyond those. Instead of “compile-time safety guarantees” by these vendor-lock-ins-masquerading-as-open-source, just use the language as it was designed: dynamically, and unit test—because you’re gonna be doing those anyway.

It’s not the spoon that bends, it’s the world around it.

There’s no such thing as stateless, and there’s no such thing as serverless.

The universe is a stateful organism in constant flux.

Put another way: brushing-it-under-the-rug as a service.

Yeah I’m just saying in general. I probably shouldn’t have replied to anyone in particular—just jumping in the conversation. =)

Another way to think of this is not making a “game engine” but just “making a game”. Get rid of all the generic stuff and use some common patterns that fit the game exactly. No need to over-abstract!

I think one can consider what AI will bring to the field of physics. Merit is quite deserving of math and science of building tools which will unlock potential discoveries from here into the future.

Despite all of the talk surrounding AI in the workforce/business world, I think it is actually most important in science.

Please hire a real artist those graphics on the home page are disturbing.

Im thinking a lot of those issues might be related to “smart” scraping which parses JavaScript. Could lean in to the bot and just make it easier for them to scrape by removing JavaScript from the websites.

I realize this is somewhat off-topic, but the big companies kind of destroyed the internet with all the JavaScript frameworks and whatnot.

I’ve always wanted to drive in circles under power lines listening to the Jethro Tull Christmas special!

The fact that everyone still calls it twitter answers your question. =)

Maybe if he reverts the name.

Yeah it’s tough. Could get the people to curate the content. Bookmarks used to be a sacred thing. I’m sure if we band together, the best sites are already known to someone, somewhere.

But yeah, read a book. Practice poetry. Go analog. It’s very rewarding!

Yeah I agree—they should use the AGPL as that’s the one that protects on the server side.

It seems more like someone advertising as a Honda dealership.

Yeah when I go to WPEngine site it feels like they copy-pasted it.

This is the thing about open source is MOST people do not contribute anything. And we’re seeing this trend with the whole Continue.dev situation too. Copy-paste, rebrand, make some money.

I think everyone needs to consider what the O.G. Wordpress team has created—and how many hours of blood, sweat, and tears went in. And then some folks just copy-paste and siphon out their business.
