People argue for a toolchain that takes a static language, compiles it to a dynamic one, then runs it with an interpreter on the server side.
Humanity ended shortly thereafter.
TS on the serverside is an abomination. Just learn a real language like Go or hey Java.
Meanwhile webdevs reinvent things from 40 years ago and struggle to build 2D form apps.
Do you have any large typescript projects?
Has anyone else had multiple years of experience with typescript in prod or what?
Bs aside, its best to have ppl publicly demo what they’ve built regularly. Quickly incentivizes the dialogue to not be about political favors and instead to be about whats gotten done.
The hype is coming from REBCO tape magnets which aren’t in ITER. Many consider ITER to already be obsolete.
This is like how computers used to take up whole rooms in the 50s but later could sit in the corner. Fusion takes up whole buildings (ITER) but the MIT ppl proved a magnet so that it can fit in just a room.
As our magnets get stronger the tokamaks can get smaller. Room sized tokamak is manageable for commercialization. Commonwealth Fusion Systems has a pretty clear path it seems.
Carbon Capture is what will matter. Carbon taxes are an interesting attempt at political solutions, but this requires coordination between Russia, CCP, and the USA. We need something that can be done despite what other foreign powers can be made to do, lest we want to wage WW3 over this.
Carbon Capture is also proportionately underfunded compared to renewables. Global warming is not something that will stop when we stop being bad; it has momentum. Greenhouse gases are like a blanket we’ve been wrapping around ourselves. We have to unwrap to get back to normal: carbon capture.
