Interesting. How’s water fox?

Is there any android port?

You’ve been virtue signalling all this while!?

Because quantum physics is hard

While it’s true that both python and js are interpreted languages, making them highly portable, JS at that time was a very lightweight language with a robust runtime offered by mozjs, that was built to be easy to embed into other systems, while python was designed for being the framework in which you build apps directly, hence requiring deeper dependencies.

From what I can gather

1. JS is system agnostic, doesn’t require compilation or multiple dependency binaries, as opposed to say Python.
2. JS is widely understood, could get more contributors.
3. JS is a good enough scripting language made with UI stuff in mind.

I also see people lamenting that lua wasn’t chosen, so there’s that.

And that’s a fact

Fun fact, roughly half of gnome-shell codebase is written in JavaScript.

Yup same thoughts!

Just like how we don’t know what it would feel like to be dead, and we dread dying, I suppose choosing to be born would feel like death of that self that is given this choice, so I guess the question can be rephrased as “if you could die in this moment, would you choose that?”

I guess not.

Thanks again for sharing this. I’ll try to read more about this.

Of course I know how close it is, I was there. But the drills weren’t casual drills obviously, they were in response to National Day celebration. It actually made us nervous about our trip.

A side note: I’m happy to learn more and understand different perspectives, however what’s with ad hominem attacks of vibes, propaganda and all? You can share your thoughts without making it sound like a keyboard war.

Why are you again explaining Asian politics using American history to a non American? Who’s even talking about America here?

I’m aware about the civil war, and I’m aware that since then Taiwan has been able to govern itself differently. In my visit I could clearly see it myself.

None of this makes it a part of PRC. American civil war is different in the sense that the Southern dream ended and they couldn’t organise themselves elsewhere.

China literally threatened Taiwan just before my visit with their vessels. Are you sure they are peaceful with protests?

Don’t you remember how several celebrities had to apologise after they supported Taiwan.

If status quo means they are independent which they very much appear to me, then isn’t that overwhelming majority support for letting it be the way it is, i.e. not ruled by PRC? If it is ruled by it, then why did PRC bring their vessels to threaten its own people just a month ago?

Lol the graph clearly shows lack in interest in unification, even “unification as soon as possible” dropped. Isn’t that enough sign that Taiwanese don’t want unification as of now?

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been there for 2 weeks and have spoken to people and they consider themselves as independent. There’s a lot of flags regarding independence around Taipei 101. Maybe they’re are all delusional, maybe they were lying to me? Whatever it is, I tend to support the small guy who is being bullied by the big one.
