One viable alternative for thunks and sagas that I came up with is using async functions and explicitly getting/setting state: https://github.com/riptano/statium#viewcontroller Sti…

I haven't gotten to measuring wear on the ways yet, don't think I'll need to scrape them but that's a possibility. This is a pet project of mine, a barn find that was in a pretty b…

Thanks for submission, a really interesting read! I'm into restoring old woodworking machinery, and hand scraping is one of the methods for truing lathe ways that I've read about. …

A framework is usually the foundational code for an app, for sure. In this case it was a bona fide JavaScript framework, Ext JS. It is that big because it implements a lot of thing…

Not my blog but I find it fascinating: https://technicshistory.com Really surprised nobody mentioned it yet...

When people ask me what my wife does for a living, I tell them she's working as a full time mom to our 4 kids. She likes that a lot more than being a "housewife". :)

This makes total sense to me. If you can solve the hardest problems, it is reasonable to expect that you can solve the rest as well. If you fail at solving the hardest problems, th…

So I guess this is how living in the 1960s felt like? :)

This is what Statium and Urlito are for: import ViewModel from 'statium'; import stateToUri from 'urlito'; const defaultState = { foo: 'bar', qux: { time: Date.now(), }, }; const […

No generation gap here. I was building my first web apps in early 2000s as well, with Apache and mod_perl. That was exactly the point of that experiment: hey I recall this stuff wa…
