hard to gauge significance without carbon dating of the scrolls. Why leave that out ?

See Kelsey Houston-Edwards's exceptional breakdown of Williams' paper, & Scott Aranson's thoughts on the topic.

Can HTMX be used with static site generators, such as Hugo, to create interactive documentation websites?
For anyone who wants to see the logo in action, I'd like to recommend checking out the SVG Playground link. It's a great tool for exploring and manipulating SVG code, and it makes it easy to see how the logo looks on different backgrounds and at different sizes.

How does react-native-mmkv-storage store data under-the-hood?

When I was building SwiftStore - a KV store [1] for iOS, I went with LevelDB as the choice for the underlying database.

LevelDB because it's written in c++ and used widely as an embedded database. Integrating it as a static library in Objective-C is also fairly straight forward.

Is it possible to use it at the native layer (objective-c / java )? My use case is for storing/reading info before react-native JS is bootstrapped. I've tried using AsyncStorage for that but the bindings for objective-c isn't straightforward at all!
Re:Show HN: Mindstamp – Make Any Video Interactive in Seconds on Friday September 14, 2018 @03:45AM (#17985437)
Pretty cool. Does it handle multiple resolutions of the same video (Eg: 1080p 720p 480p 360p ) ?

Agreed. Creating bridging modules aren't that complicated. For anyone interested, I've linked a sample of a bridging module from my open-source project, for both IOS and Android. See [0] & [1]

The bridge creates an interface between an embedded webserver to react native.

Things to note:

1. Always dispatch bridging methods to their own threads. On IOS you can do this via. dispatch_async. On Android, you can utilise native threads or some kind of task management library. I like Bolts [2].

2. Always create bridging methods that resolve promises. This makes it easy to utilise async / await paradigm on the JS side.

Apologies for the generic question. From the links you've posted, I discovered your Practical Redux course. I just bought it!! [1].

Pretty excited to go through the course!!

My config:

Caps -> Control

Control -> Command

Perfect config for TMUX + VIM.

I thought Levon Arakelyan was a true hacker. I can relate this to my own side-projects. Most of them start with a simple "what-if" question in my head. Once I've started writing code, I won't stop until I have some kind of prototype ready. That aside, agreed that for digging tunnels it could be dangerous.

Yes - strength training will take a few months to get used to. Depending on your workout's intensity and volume, you'll want to adjust your calories. Note: intensity = how heavy you lift, volume = reps * sets
