I'd have to look at what it looked like before, but when I visited there earlier this month, I didn't see any restoration in progress and the star map was open. I didn't take a ton of photos in that area, and here are the only two of the monument I grabbed:
I definitely wouldn't pay $1600 but I like the idea of an ultra-modular and configurable desk. I wonder if you could build something similar with 80-20 extrusions (and/or similar knock-off) and an Ikea desktop. There's a huge ecosystem of ways to integrate/extend these and you could do some cool things with them.
This looks really cool. I need to dig through some more examples before I'd take anything I say without a massive grain of salt. :)
Maybe I've been writing too much React and Android Compose UI lately, but instead of a declarative structure, have you considered a functional structure? That seems to be a create way to build composable components and add enough programmability (e.g. loops, conditionals) and keep a nice one-way flow down the line.
It's similar to what you have but maybe a bit more of a programming language than a declarative format. The trade-off is that tooling support gets harder as you add some basic language features, but the upside is a more powerful language.
For sure, we have been pretty focused on the low level part of the language, I think it will be interesting to see how our language evolves as we are able to abstract away more of the low level connectivity and configuration. I think eventually we will end up building something like a python library on top of ato to get the best of both worlds.
You can run WSL on any version of Windows (including Home Edition). Docker can also use WSL2 as its backend, so I rarely need to run VMs on my Windows dev machines anymore.
I have noticed this as well. I keep a set of "mildly interesting" podcasts for when I want to occupy mind enough to help me fall asleep, usually on airplanes.
I agree, as a mostly C# developer for years, then Typescript (Node, Angular and React) for the last couple of years, when I go back to C# projects, I feel like I'm doing a lot of work for the compiler. And really elegant use of the TS type system doesn't translate well into C# many times, forcing me to write boilerplate.
I've been eyeing F# for more elegant managed code, but that's going to take me a little more up-front investment to get productive.
