    I wanted to create webdav servers hosted by glitch and cpanel. I ended up with exactly the same code on both, nice! Basically they both have node.js capabilities so I could use nod…

    https://comebackalive.org.ua/donate/ worked for me. I tried the original url last night and ran into problems. Note you need to use UAH currency. $250 was 7336.23 UAH .. sorta stic…

    This is easy: check out D3's architecture. It is "near functional" and tosses all the overly-complex (i.e. dangerous) parts. And definitely read the still important "Javascript, th…

    Where is the repo? A project here in Santa Fe may be a useful addition and I'd like to get in touch with the authors.

    So I should give up on JS programming, go back to C/C#/C++/Java/Swift and have them generate wasm? Kinda sad, I like JS. But I like performance too. Is there a possibility for JS t…

    Wow, JavaScript is approaching science fiction levels of sophistication! Love the idea of moving functionality from client to server or reverse. Knew about Docker but not Ansible, …

    Well, I agree on the performance (speed) side, VM out, subset In. but feel abandoned on the memory footprint side. Objects are just huge! Asm.js promises something more like struct…

    But alas, the browser wars are upon us once again. FF vs Chrome is approaching the silly. On the other hand, there are merits in their differences. Chrome, although it would prefer…

    It is SOOO odd to see folks not "get" the JavaScript Everywhere revolution. Node, JS/CoffeeScript, JSON: Server, Client, Network Data. Complete stack, period. C++?? Gack, so yester…

    The Facebook "phone" approach is interesting: take over the phone to such a degree that it delivers a FB "experience". No dependencies of the Evil Triangle of the cell world: Hands…

    As lovely as symbolic mathematics is, it does have one major problem: it can not be parsed. I do not mean the symbols cannot be drawn etc, but even a simple expression like "ab + c…
