How long does it take to resume a VM?

I don’t think it is that serious of an issue: - The API is likely to be simple (JSON in and out, or something similar). Those devs already know they domain well. - The Rust compile…

How do you manage changing state overtime? Do you re-render the whole template? Can templates be nested?

I think general programming languages are better for general programs than SQL. Specifically they have: Type systems, compilers, debuggers, text editors, package managers, C FFI et…

Of course. This is just a simplification that I find useful. Software is less like traditional engineering as there are no "right" ways to do things.

I sometimes simplify social interactions by dividing them into two sets: friendly-social and engineering. In friendly-social environments, it is all about avoiding overly negative …

You are right, I did not realise it was the compiled code. I thought it was the comparable hand written JS.

I think it is more to do with the so called "Object–relational impedance mismatch", which I guess is related to schema migrations. NoSQL would still have migration issues as the ty…

Under "Everything is an Expression": items = (() => { const results = []; for (const item of items) { if (item.length) { results.push(item.toUpperCase()); } else { results.push(" "…

I think CSS and the domain of laying out things in 2d (and responding to state changes) with code is actually inherently complex, so which ever layout system you use is going to ha…

I like the way you use a combination of for editing and for DOM elements. I actually have come to the same solution for a transcription web app. I have found that manipulation from…

My notes on this: - .showModal() is an indirect API to `top-layer`. - `top-layer` is kind of like a sibling to the root , elements can be placed into the top-layer from any positio…

Yes, I write those parts myself.

Sorry I do not, although I have been meaning to publish the "skeleton" template repo's I have locally. There are two template repos I use: `web-ui` and `server` The both have a `sh…

Just a normal create-user/login form. Or Firebase Auth if Google and other sign in's need to be supported.

- Server: Node.js + SQLite I know JS very well, so writing HTTP handlers is quite fast. Node runs on V8, which is probably the fastest runtime for dynamic code. SQLite makes develo…

I agree. It seems strange that they would make an official version and then not add it to the official JS package manager. It seems like Chrome is paying them for the “deliverable”…

Being able to `npm install` this for a frontend app would be very useful.

This will not work as SQLite triggers only work for writes within the same process; a trigger cannot execute code in another process. But you could use triggers to write to a table…

No no no. He is betting on Association For Geographic Information

I do not think "JSON does not support incremental parsing, HTTP does" is the reason why JSON-RPC is less popular. Most typed languages give you two options for parsing JSON: - 1. G…
