something like gm(knox.getStream(...)).write(knox.putStream(...)) unfortunately gm doesn't expose it's streams nicely, so you have to pass them in.

the problem with browser caching is that you cannot control when you want it to update, except with a timeout.

Ah, I didn't know about that. It might not be worthwhile since that already exists.

Except to give more precise, granular, control over updates. for example, (for example, with a merkle tree)

Idea: keep clientside js in localStorage

client side javascripters aim for minimal code, to optimise load times; but what if you didn't have to worry about that? My idea is to store slowly changing assets in localStorage and then just have a tiny js that loads them into the page.has anyone attempted this before?

a code for a moon shot is probably actually simpler than flying a jet or driving a car (at least in 1969)

your out of the atmosphere in a few ten seconds (if you havn't exploded yet) and then there is very little to interfere with you (vaccum, earth gravity, moon gravity)

however, cars and airplanes are constantly interacting with their complex, messy environment.

clearly, the 10,000,000 lines of code figure includes the operating system.
