Then, who is the "underprivileged"
xialvjun··on How to Lose Functional Programming at Work
OOP is successful in GUI app is because states are at everywhere in GUI app.

Many other apps don't have many states to manage, OOP is bad for them.

xialvjun··on Marten: a Crystal web framework
But Amber's Latest release: v1.3.0 - 10/26/2022
xialvjun··on I've said it all before but here we go again
Thought experiments are mostly interesting, hardly to be useful. Something about speed of light, how can we make use of it. Nuclear bombs, he didn't like it.

“all models are wrong but some models are useful” tells us just to go find useful models, and the beautiful truth is not important. I don't think it is not important.

Einstein discovered the theory of relativity purely through thought experiments. I don't think he thought those thought experiments are that useful.

I think the most valuable point of TUI is to run programs remotely with low traffic.
xialvjun··on Number of pubs in England and Wales falls to record low
You're missing Work/Life Balance rather than the pub.
xialvjun··on On the use of a life (2020)
Because the Soviet Union collapsed.
xialvjun··on Life is not short
Marx has said: "Creative labor has become the primary need of life". I don't know if it's the original words, I translated it from Chinese. You think spending 7 years to build your own house is better than to play video games. But what if to create a video game? Creating a video game is too hard? How about to just write game reviews and walkthroughs in detail and combine them into a book. It's not that you think building a house is more meaningful than playing video games. It's that you want to create, but your job didn't give you a chance to create or what you create doesn't belong to you.
xialvjun··on Permacomputing Wiki
I think permacomputing is something about software rather than hardware. For hardware, to human civilization it's all about the use of power. But for software, we have lost so many things. Many documents have lost, many software can run in nowhere. That's the problems we should solve.
xialvjun··on Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust
Does it have a VR mode? It will definitely be awesome.
xialvjun··on TermKit: A Rich Graphical Terminal (2011)
Developers of terminals are moving forward to strong type (like power-shell, nu-shell etc). I think this is the future. Besides, the strong type terminal should be the base of the graphical terminal, but I don't think we need a graphical terminal.
xialvjun··on Win32 is the stable Linux userland ABI (and the consequences)
I wonder if windows abi is not public, how people develop softwares on it? If it's public, why wine is not perfect?

So I got a promise, then how to await it? I don't want to use then callback.

I laughed.
xialvjun··on Skip: A programming language to skip the things you have already computed
Viewing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18077612 , Skip seems to be an interesting and promising programming language. I hope it will continue to be developed.

xialvjun··on Ask HN: Why is Firefox losing marketshare and how would you save it?
I don't think we should save Firefox. IE is not opensource, so Firefox is very important. Chromium is opensource, so we needn't to stick with multiple browser kernels. Once Google Chrome change bad, we can use Vivaldi, Brave, or Edge. But we should save Mozila. We need to gather such a group of idealists. They will act as the vanguard to explore the future: create rust, rewrite chromium...
xialvjun··on TinyBase: A JavaScript library for structured state
No TypeSafe, No Transaction. This thing seems not helpful.
xialvjun··on Database-less torrent website
Since it has used IPFS, why not host the content of those torrents with IPFS?
xialvjun··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
But chromium is opensource. Even if google stop devoting to chrome, we can develop it. In fact, I think Mozilla should turn to chromium too like Microsoft, just be aware of keeping the licence open.
xialvjun··on Use spacer components instead of CSS margins (2020)
Flutter does it.
xialvjun··on Deurbanising the Web [pdf]
ipfs solve this well.
