I don't know why that is, but in the end, aren't web browsers using the native os widgets for input text, etc.?

imho was still a fair question, no need to downvote. Not arguing with the index argument, but I've had finance "experts" trying to pull similar tricks on me by using weird years, etc.

Overly simplified, but in classical computing, a bit is an abstraction representing a 0 or 1. In quantum computing, a bit IS the electron (or some other particle). And electrons are weird and can behave in very surprising ways. Quantum comp

I have a question for those who were there at the very beginning of the internet. I heard that many were skeptical about both personal computers and the internet.. did it feel the same as it does right now with crypto-currency/quantum-

>> What would you suggest instead? On the front-end, I'd do a call to the server. On the server, I'd use a database transaction for that. But I get your point. The way I deal with race condition in redux is to have a mutex.

It's about risk management. When you're young, there's really not much down-side in starting a company, and the up-side is extremely high. Also, even if the startup is a total failure, the experience combined with the people

The gist of it is: >> that can hold more than 2 states --> that can hold more than 2 states AT THE SAME TIME (in weird quantum conditions) So you're not trying 00, 01, 10, 11; you're trying [00|01|10 |11] at the same time

IMHO the biggest reason to use TypeScript rather than Reason is because, in the end, it's still javascript and it stays within the same ecosystem. As great as Reason is, it's adding too many dependencies. The only time I'd go
