I laughed so hard at this....

This is great marketing, I had no idea what inscribe was, but a blog like this going viral did something no ad could do for me.

You're welcome! Thank you for not letting the world become boring!

Glorious Day!

The app is true marking of a genius maker. A blank space app where all the interface elements and interactions and ideas are made from scratch. There's a George Lukas like "world building" in it, the blog, the website that is just so nice to watch. One of those things you hardly see in any new product/project/... these days. I loved this.

This is what I call interesting!

What a man!

Their design is getting too sterile and grey. I was a bit sad of seeing the screenshots.

Basically this has been the only way to stop anything from happening. But major systems all have accessibility like web and if someone wants to support accessibility they will do it there. Those who don't, won't even do it on web. If something like I say happens, not only accessibility will be lost, but so much more will be lost too. But then if you need it you'll either implement it or use web. Figma, SketchUp, and Google Docs have their software rendered on a canvas. For them this would have made things much faster. It is giving people options. Personally I hate web. It is horrible to write software by manipulating DOM and having to work with CSS. Every time I touch html/js/css I think why can't it be a nice system? Why I have no control over rendering? At least I would have loved to have an alternative the whole web and dom, and would have killed for writing web pages like a flutter app.

Not only are they a decade late while everyone expected WASM to liberate us from JS, and it ended up being a useless toy in JS whose improvements would have been crushed by having to send all progress to JS to apply it, but then giving it access to DOM is also something you'll realize wasn't enough a decade later. Flutter doesn't need DOM; it has all of its own engine. The browser should give the whole viewpoint to the WASM so that apps can directly implement their own GUIs. And then there will be an app revolution. You can directly port your GUI to the web and have it work. No more your GUI as a WASM worker that has to have its frames painted by JS on a canvas; direct painting. You could have wxWidgets, GTK, Flutter, ... all working insanely fast, insanely beautiful. And then people can do amazing things. Imagine a web alternative that is powered by maestro Knuth's TeX; imagine operating systems as web pages, imagine alternative layout systems that do not have to rely on Web events and frame timing. That is all if the browser allows for WASM to bypass the web part and do it itself.

They have such a good design for this website and all of it is wasted with the share buttons on the top.

That fuck face only knows how to kill hundreds of thousands of people with his unbelievable ignorance.

Cool cool cool

This is just awesome!

What is it with SQLite that every week we have a page of its website in top of HN?

Yeah exactly.

Not at all. Before the use of TypeScript exploded, they had two features brought into it from C# which were namespaces and enums (both of which are amazingly good features. For the first one, no one knew what was the right choice back then. We had almost a dozen different module systems and TypeScript had gone their way to support all of them and namespaces were their own solution to the mess (remember they were trying to solve their own problems at first, it wasn't to dominate anything). I personally used namespaces and I could have only the TypeScript compiler running and producing a single JS file for rapid development without the burden of --- then very slow --- webpack.

And for enums, using strings as enums was not a very efficient idea. I think JavaScript introduced Symbols for locked/hidden properties but also meant to use them as enums. It never worked either and then the sum type, union type feature of TypeScript made the whole community to keep using strings as enums. This is still a very bad idea, it is not ergonomic, it is prone to many problems, and very inefficient to compare strings instead of integers. But hey TypeScript tried to fix the problem and almost everyone rejected it. And so enum is now discontinued.

Rest of the changes to TypeScript came from almost any other language but C#, probably the biggest changes ever to happen to JavaScript came directly from CoffeeScript. And then I personally saw how each of these new changes --- one by one --- arrived at C#. For what I have seen firsthand by reading the TC39 proposals, each feature came from a different community and different programming languages, (think about null operators !/?, the nullish coalescing ??, the incoming pipes, fat arrows and lambdas, mixings) as JavaScript is the only language everyone has to use, and it has benefited everyone to have a language that has all the great things from all other languages.

I never thought they are so many!

Wow!

I have a JSON formatter called Virtuous (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=karyfoun...) and till now I thought that is the best way to format JSON, and I most confess that I'll throw away my own formatter in favor of this one. What a great job.

Well they really destroyed everything that I knew was Punkt: Great design, minimalist, e-ink like displays with an android cheap design, no e-ink, and Phone as a Service? are you kidding us?

Yes, I'm in the exact same location.

I actually put in the time and searched many times. Again and again. I'm more confident of his guilt than of innocence. The very fact that he even walked past Epstein devalues his work altogether. I don't need to hear of his guilt, just the fact that he required Epstein's help with his finances makes him no one to talk about the elites in power.

The fact that he wrote volumes about manufacturing consent, death of the American dream and Israel's invasion of Palestine while he used to travel in luxurious jets with Epstein who was everything that he pretended to fight against.

It's not about the science, I keep all the deprecated or rendered wrong/irrelevant books because they shaped me at some point and I'm proud of that. But finding out an author sitting on your bookshelf can possibly be a child abuser and definitely in-ties with Epstein disgusts me and I no longer keep anything from them.

Actually, it's both. I wanted to study media theory, and it was interesting that his work both appeared in compilers and philosophy, so I thought, “Let’s buy some books and dig into them.” The content was stupid, but I didn't need to throw the books away. After writing that comment here, I actually went and sent all of them to paper recycling...

I loved the old website. It was one of the few "good old things" I used to check out when I got nostalgic. What a waste...

I have many books from Chomsky, and I want to throw them away because it disgusts me to have them. Then I think, why should I throw away things I spent so much on? It makes me more angry. So I have pilled them up somewhere to figure out what ti do with them and each time I walk past it I feel sad to ever passed by his work.

Dude would talk about manufacturing consent, elitist circles, and what Israel is doing with poor Palestinians and then go aboard Israeli-spy, super elitist, consent manufacturing, sex trafficker, rapist, Epstein's private jet. What a total insult to everyone who ever read his things

What I cannot understand is why they left Dynamicland and made it a product. (Which is against everything that Bret Victor stands for). And there is nothing mentioned anywhere.
