    Cute game. A lot more forgiving than Marble Madness though. Needs a good enemy marble to come crack you and hammers too.

    Incremental builds exist, so you'd really only have to build once: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data... That said, personally, I love PG and enjoy using …

    It really makes sense though. I don't think it's because they don't go to therapy though. Look at the five levels they provide: * Every day * 5–6 times per week * 3–4 times per wee…

    Seconded. I got awesome results in making "artwork in the style of Yoshitaka Amano" in DALLE but horrible ones in Stable Diffusion. Maybe the prompt was incorrect there (it would b…

    Maybe technical customers who knew it were Electron. I knew, and don't really care. My wife doesn't even know what Electron is- everything is just another app to her.

    They also said they've reimbursed all funds. So if you were hacked personally, you would be out money here, vs keeping it on their exchange where you would be made whole again.

    How does it compare in terms of performance to https://github.com/jsonapi-serializer/jsonapi-serializer (a fork of Fast JSON API out of Netflix, which wasn't being maintained)?

    The creator of Svelte (Rich Harris) works for the NYT. If you ask him, I'd venture to guess he wouldn't say it's an "experiment" as they regularly use it. I doubt his frontend work…

    Yes, it's very much in beta! And if that's a concern for you, then I'd stick with Sapper or Elder.js or another. That said, I think the replies covered the concern pretty well. For…
