   Has almost everything I need

   I've started using this as my main IDE for new projects when I'm trying things out. If it keeps getting better at the rate it has been, it'll be even better than coding locally.

   🏁 Competitors: replit

   👍 Pros:    Easy to get started and operate|Fast|Supports common extensions|Works with most npm packages

   👎 Cons:    Still not as good as local development|Can be hard to debug|Build times can be slower than local

• The Egg Bandits Made a Thousand Times the Fine They Just Paid for Price Fixing

  QB House and its many imitators would like a word. It's a genuine mystery to me why these "fast haircut" chains are ubiquitous in Asia but unknown in the West. https://medium.com/@justin.tan/qb-house-back-to-basics-business-model-innovation-in-the-mens-haircutting-industry-c23893095e13. - Source: Hacker News / about 23 hours ago

  It has. We can see 3.5 started with text adventure games https://medium.com/@duncanariey/using-chatgpt-to-make-the-ittiest-bittiest-text-based-adventure-game-f642e8da4dad and with 4.0 it moved up to pong https://x.com/skirano/status/1635736107949195278 As the generations increase, so too has the complexity of the games it can one-shot. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Why Jet Engines Aren't "Made in China"

  Not ballpoint pens. Ballpoint pen tips. In that regard, China joins three other countries - Switzerland, Japan and Germany. The article below gives a general explanation on the precision manufacturing required to make them, and the repercussions of said achievement. https://medium.com/@topbosstalk/how-ballpoint-tips-became-chinas-toughest-lesson-in-precision-f4f58c10ced7. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• RS-X: Framework-agnostic reactive state and expressions for JavaScript/TS

  Managing reactive state and dependent computations in JavaScript can get complex, especially when combining asynchronous and synchronous data. RS-X is a library that allows you to bind expressions to plain objects and makes the parts of the model used by those expressions fully reactive. Dependent computations automatically update when the underlying data changes. RS-X is framework-agnostic. While it can drive UI... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: I combine Htmx, LiveView and SolidJS for interactive server components

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, so I try to combine them in Solv (Stateless Offline-capable LiveView) and write a prototype to show the benefits. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Solv – Stateless Offline-Capable LiveView – Prototype 03

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, and this is a prototype trying to combine them. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is added to achieve efficient DOM updates + minimal payload size.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
