A text editor is what I use, the pattern is a comment line beginning with a # sign followed by the thing or things I'm noting, interspersed with comment lines if needed, followed by one or more blank lines to separate the concept.

I was trying to imagine what advertising works on me...none. What does work is a family member, friend suggests something or even an article online that is genuine and not written by someone with a flare for social engineering.

Lived here for over 1.5 decades and do not see a "decades-long drying". Texas isn't perfect but water management is something it does right. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-last-drop/ &quo

It isn't racist or classist bullshit. It was that people liked cars for the independence they provided. Today's live in their parent's basement generation can't comprehend the concept.

I'd be for it except for the fact where Uranium mostly comes from. Like it or not, coal remains the energy reserve that potentially can keep the Us free.

Modern AI can barely drive a car under ideal conditions without crashing. The ocean is full of sounds. AI is decades away (still, and I've said this now for decades) from figuring out what it is hearing.

I saw a picture of a stretch of road in the west and started thinking about the 1800's and the striking contrast between the wild and the technological American landscape. It turns out Google has an interesting site, linked.

The only languages worth their weight are Java and C.

Agreed on JSF productivity, also found the parent comment quite astounding in this regard.

I do Java as I've done for several decades. I tried C# years ago despite Microsoft. Java and the JVM are superior, technologically and morally to anything they can come up with.

Kotlin is not and never will be on my list of languages.

The fact that the pile of tools required to get a web to do anything useful is such a terrible mess including Angular and React is why I'm in full dismay that they are used by otherwise intelligent developers at all.

This sounds encouraging, yours is around the third comment I've seen so far about TeaVM.

by oldjavacoder 4y ago
Someone else mentioned TeaVM and SnapKit, I plan to look into those.

Definitely worth a look thank you! On another note, I've experimented successfully with https://www.jsweet.org/ .
