Thanks for the info. The Arch OS, wiki, and community have been very impressive. I use mainly Void, but I still need to go back and read the Arch wiki for many things.

da02··on Deno 1.36
What type of apps do you code for your day-job? (I program for fun and curiosity, so that is why I ask that lame question.)

Do you use node.js? Deno is brought in part by the Node.js creator, Ryan Dahl, who wanted to fix/improve a lot of things he didn't like in node.js.

They also have "Deno Deploy" (with a free tier) to run your code on different servers scattered throughout the globe: https://deno.com/deploy

One of the reasons I love the `deno` executable is you can use `import` statements in your code and then tell `deno` to merge everything into a single .js file. I would then take that and publish it to Cloudflare Workers. I know you can do this with node.js and a bunch of tools, but it is so much simpler with `deno`.

Alan Kay said Bob Taylor found a way to get all these "lone wolves" to work together. Did you see anything like this at PARC?

Why are you and other big names hanging out at HN? I thought Quora (and occasionally Reddit) attracted the big names. (I'm not complaining. I just thought people of your stature had their own "exclusive" watering holes on the Internet ;)

How can I do that also? Ever needed .svg export?
da02··on R.I.P. Macromedia FreeHand (2007)
I thought I was the only one who longed for Fireworks. Is there anything that comes close to it nowadays? It was so intuitive. (Also, thank you for your service to the graphics industry.)
da02··on The BBC on Mastodon
Very true. There is some positive news. Most books could be said to be "trash", but book publishing is still important. The same was said with blogs: "Oh, most blogs are about people having breakfast." But, I remember Joel on Software, Scripting.com, LRC, and Mises Blog that all had such a positive effect on me. So it is with social media: - people are meeting and getting married via Instagram. - I have chatted with Ph.Ds on Twitter and Youtube, even though I have no college degree. - I helped a UI/UX designer have lunch with Alan Kay. All of it via Twitter. That is something that will never happen to me because I am not in the same "league". He later casually mentioned he had lunch with Ted Nelson. (Sigh! That will never happen to me.) - And lots of people here probably have an anecdote how one-thing-led-to-another that made life a little bit happier. Jeff Tucker would probably say, "It doesn't matter if 98% are narcissistic hunters/gathers. That 2% can change The World and Your Life." (Of course, you would say it more eloquently.)

At least this is what I say to myself when I get depressed we are living in the 21st Century World and people care more about letting men inside women's bathrooms than the fact the US and its "allies" just bombed the Nordstream pipeline that will have a negative effect on millions of Europeans... and how I will be downvoted (2718 currently) for posting this. But, at least you are not alone "uhtred".

Thanks. This analysis really show me how I didn't understand the movie despite enjoying it on a superficial level. It's even better than my first impressions.
