Yeah I recommend reading “JavaScript the good parts” and don’t use anything far beyond those. Instead of “compile-time safety guarantees” by these vendor-lock-ins-masquerading-as-open-source, just use the language as it was designed: dynamically, and unit test—because you’re gonna be doing those anyway.
serverless just means that a hosting company routes your domain to one or more servers that hosting company owns and where they put your code on. And that hosting company can spin up more or less servers based on traffic.. TL;DR; Serverless uses many many servers, just none that you own.
More specifically: no instances that you maintain or manage. You don't care which machine your code runs on, or even if all your code is even on the same machine.
Compute availability is lumped into one gigantic pool and all of the concerns below the execution of your code is managed for you.
Another way to think of this is not making a “game engine” but just “making a game”. Get rid of all the generic stuff and use some common patterns that fit the game exactly. No need to over-abstract!
That’s not what the person you replied to is saying though… They’re saying just use an existing engine, and if you really need to, you can always write your own engine later if you really need it.
I read it to mean the other way around: If writing the engine interests you, do it, you can switch to another existing game engine later, and your experience is not lost.
I think one can consider what AI will bring to the field of physics. Merit is quite deserving of math and science of building tools which will unlock potential discoveries from here into the future.
Despite all of the talk surrounding AI in the workforce/business world, I think it is actually most important in science.
But, this is more of a applied math than physics. There are many other scientist that contributed more towards understanding of quantum systems, e.g. Aharonov.
Also, as a tool, it has not been as useful as influential as they make it out to be, at least less influential than the work Aharonov in terms of increasing our understanding
Im thinking a lot of those issues might be related to “smart” scraping which parses JavaScript. Could lean in to the bot and just make it easier for them to scrape by removing JavaScript from the websites.
I realize this is somewhat off-topic, but the big companies kind of destroyed the internet with all the JavaScript frameworks and whatnot.
I haven't updated the twitter app just to keep the bird (no, more like I find the X ugly), mayyyybe I can make this phone last long enough so I never actually see the X.
Yeah it’s tough. Could get the people to curate the content. Bookmarks used to be a sacred thing. I’m sure if we band together, the best sites are already known to someone, somewhere.
But yeah, read a book. Practice poetry. Go analog. It’s very rewarding!
