Re:Norway's Plan for a Fleet of Electric Planes on Thursday August 30, 2018 @05:15AM (#17875224)
Progress doesn't come from innovation alone, but also from finance and adoption. Norway are doing a good job at raising demand for electric transportration and acting as a testing ground and leader for the future. This is something all rich countries should do. / Fellow Swede
Yeah, though I still think its a bit thin to act as a good backend. I'm waiting for a better DB/model/controller framework to serve APIs.
As javascript has continued to crawl into many areas where nobody thought it would, my guess it could grow in the future. But it still lacks a good/popular backend framework (in node), as apposed to client frameworks.

At the same time I think PHP has a good future, where 7.0 made a really great progress in performance. Laravel is awsome for web development.

Re:Can Someone Be Too Smart to Be a Cop? on Thursday October 09, 2014 @12:11PM (#8433287)
I heard that both cops and taxi drivers aren't suited for creative and theoretical thinkers. Mainly because it's a lot of waiting. They will get bored and quit.
