capsule does a great job with SMS based UI, my girl doesn't even have the app on her phone just texts with them


there is https://github.com/flareact/flareact in development by a shopify engineer, worth checking out... seems like a good architecture for deeper integration with workers runtime


Saw this a few months ago and briefly considered it, but it seemed too risky to use on a production website.

Next.js is maintained by an entire company (Vercel). If Flareact ever gains official Cloudflare support, that'd be wonderful!


This is the first thing I thought of as I was reading the server side section



Pretty cool. But this:

> Assuming a 100% efficient laser, that is one watt-hour (3.6 kJ) of energy consumption for a maximum 0.5 Mbits of data storage.

Is not good


That's 16 kWh per GB. About $2-4, or a around ten years of cloud storage. But this data lasts forever. And the energy costs will certainly drop.


Wow super cool. Doesn’t seem that far off either


i found the Kaitai toolset (IDE, compiler) to be useful in parsing or "deserialization" for proprietary financial protocols. if you are just reading data (especially in an environment with clients in different languages) it's a strong recommend, however lack of support for "serialization" means that you will still need to roll your own encoders. ultimately we created our own tooling/DSL for encoding as well as generating KSY files to generate clients as part of our builds

edit: i forgot to add - there is an issue for serialization on kaitai github repo for some time [1], with some interesting discussion around the implementation challenges

this is the first time i've ever heard someone complain of redux having too much magic

most people complain there is too much boilerplate!


class is a reserved word in javascript


Technically it's no longer just reserved in ES6, it has an actual use. But starting with ES5 it's generally not a problem to use keywords as property names.


THIS is inventing a clock


You know, not every situation calls for belittling the achievements of children in the news.


What achievement? Buying a clock from the 70s and putting it in a suit case to bring to school?


From my understanding of American culture derived from a thorough reading of Peanuts, I thought you were supposed to bring hastily assembled items to school. You wouldn't dare say something like that to Sally Brown about her leaf collection.


automated enforcement of politically-correct verbiage. awesome!


I assume you find the automated "enforcement" of dictionary-correct spelling to be similarly awesome?


> automated suggestion of (potentially) more considerate alternative verbiage.


Low hanging fruit: localize your marketing site for US english. I know it sounds silly, but language matters and is proven lift conversions.
