ex3ndr··on Framework is now available in Australia
Super anything that this notebook is not really linux-friendly, from time to time something didn't work. For example, latest Qubes OS won't work with wifi making Qubes almost useless. You also can't replace it with another WiFi module since there are no list that could be compatible with framework.

ex3ndr··on Telegram Ad Platform
Not really, this is a fork. Original ton.org is online.
ex3ndr··on Hooks are the best thing to happen to React
I really puzzled why no one switched to hooks + suspense. I started to use suspense when it was alpha - you don't need any support for this from react itself: just catch promise in error boundary and display placeholder.

This makes everything is so easier:

const data = useQuery('/api/user/:id', {id:1}); return (<span>{data.name}</span>);

No error handling, not loaders, just one line.

This is a price of 200m^2 flat in the center of Saint Petersburg, Russia. With ~same prices for food that makes ~x3 to the price of food.

ex3ndr··on Maybe you don't need Rust and WASM to speed up your JS (2018)
For JS it is the same - moving empty div or moving whole window - it is still same amount of code and actual moving is always on different threads. It works for native apps too.
ex3ndr··on Maybe you don't need Rust and WASM to speed up your JS (2018)
