I love this! This is the kind of interesting stuff I thought I'd be working on before I became a software developer and got disappointed by the day to day CRUD, JS framework nonsense, Agile cesspool it turned into.


Thanks! One of the reasons I started this project was to allow me the freedom that Agile and work projects usually kill.


I didn't find the right alignment of text to be easier to read, but though it was a mistake on your part. Of course, now I know it was intentional. Good job though.


I quit carrying a wallet several years ago and have never looked back. I just carry my driver's license, debit/credit card, and any cash I have in a pocket. It works well for me.


This feels kind of shallow. Much like the BLM support thing, where they would attach a slogan to their website. "Let's get some social points" is what this amounts to.

I think businesses need to stay out of politics and social issues. You're, in effect, punishing people who have nothing to do with what the Russian government chose to do.


its called virtue signalling. and it is indeed very shallow. this is going to cost them a handful of customers (that will be individually inconvenienced), but they'll get to launder/profit off this move of putting their foot down towards evil Putin. "That will teach him who's who!"


I agree. The risk of war is too great.


Exactly. This situation was highly thought out and I'm sure he has at least one ace up his sleeve. Most likely in the form of controling natural resources to europe.


If China really wants Taiwan then now's the time to do it. North Korea might as well take South Korea while all this is going on. Now I'm starting to think the world is descending into chaos. Or has it always been that way?


With brief interludes of quiet, yes.


Yeah, me too. Mainly D&D character generators.


D&D character generators were fun to write. And remember those name generators? And you could make planet name & planet environment generators, and then solar system generators for Traveller. I threw together a really bad dungeon map designer thing when I bought once of the earliest mice you could get, with the roller ball inside the mouse that you had to take out and clean.


I think I might try Golang, I would love to just code again. I'll look into Svelte as well.


Golang also has a rich ecosystem of external community libraries but

1) the standard library is often enough to get work done (http server, sql, etc)

2) external libraries often would simply sit atop the standard library which is easier to standardise and swap things around

3) the language is quite bare and simple, I was weirded out by the "for" in Go but I now like it. Need to map, filter, or increment counters? Use "for".

4) No need to hesitate between 5 linters or testing libraries, "go" does it so again it's standardised.

As for Svelte, I'm not loving it as much as Go but for frontend, it's just the most "JS/TS" of all without added layer of magic. There is still some, but it's graspable.


The truth about Svelte post of Rich Harris is very much in point about Svelte. It gets out of your way and feels like HTML/JS/CSS + a few thought out features. You can use a lot of libraries without a wrapper for svelte.

I hope it gets adoption, I would like to work with it. I like React as well and use it but Svelte straight forward in so many situations that I just enden coding instead of thinking about X different ways to solve a problem and that is where I see similarities with Go.


Absolutely true. I only have weird smells sometimes, while my wife still suffers loss of appetite and a reduction of energy levels. It's been 6 months since we recovered.
