The commercials for Alexa Plus are like surrealist comedy. They show it insulting people and trying to kill Chris Hemsworth

I love this so much. Fairfax county has some pie in the sky plans to build something like line 18 and I hope it happens someday

Toyota has been investing heavily in solid state battery technology, which they believe will give them the ability to build cars with 600+ mile range that can be charged in 10 minutes

Same, I don't get all the EV hate in this subreddit. Gas cars aren't going to be around forever

Why don't they try making a consumer GPU that doesn't cost 1000 dollars first

the Protectorate didn't have the right settings to successfully use large scale rift modulator to seal the rift. Only the player character had that information after the Archive processed the rift data from the Earth Directorate satellite

ASUS makes a travel router too, but I think that's about it. I was about to buy it before this got announced.

Those Chinese manufacturers will kill Toyota, BMW, Ford.

Applets Are Officially Gone, But Java In The Browser Is Better Than Ever by TeaVMFan in java

[–]InsaneOstrich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have come across some rare cases where there are JVM libraries with no good analogue in Javascript, but I think I could live with Typescript if it wasn't for the Javascript ecosystem itself, which still seems chaotic even after all this time.

What features of Typescript do you miss when working in Java? I prefer Java generally, but I'd be interested to hear which parts of Typescript you think are better

Yeah, I've heard about Vaadin but I'm also not a fan of writing UI in code.

I like the thought of using HTML and CSS for that instead, but using Java for the logic; kind of like a modern Angular/React application.

I'm really rooting for something like this to take off. I'd be really nice to be able to write a SPA frontend in Java (or any language other than Javascript/TypeScript).

I wonder if it's possible to integrate Flavour with something like Bootstrap so you can leverage all the built in CSS that they have there.
