I'm really sorry to hear that. That's a tough situation to be in :( Best of luck in making it through/breaking the October 30 curse!

@blaubachn @amolith @kungtotte
antergos has a minimal install without any DE. That might be just what you're looking for.

@bremner @HerraBRE

Is it one of the items pictured here: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Philips%20HR%201170 ?

If so, that's a mixer (either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, depending on whether it has a bowl)

(Not correcting or nitpicking—I just got curious!)

@esarkis hi—welcome to #fosstodon!

@aadilayub I like the optimism in the image above: it suggests that physical products *don't* prioritize cosmetics over function, which is a nice thought.

(I dislike the way it differentiates between physical and digital products by calling the former "real products", but I guess you can't have everything!)

@mooshoe
declarative = saying *what* you want the end state to be

procedural = saying what steps the program should execute to get to the end state

So, with react, you're maintaining state in memory that serves as a single source of truth for your UI state. You just tell react what you want the state to be (declaratively) and it handles updating components.

In contrast, telling a particular node to update its class is much more procedural

@measlytwerp not sure I know all of those authors well enough to be sure whether this is a good recommendation, but The Icurus Hunt is one of my favorites. Hits a good sweet spot where it's still fairly hard SF but is able to move at a brisk pace and focus on the characters. And it has pretty great world building, which always maters to me.

The Beggers in Spain is another all-time favorite

@mooshoe

I actually don't think javascript needs much abstraction, which is handy because I don't think #react does much to abstract JS.

I think that the area where abstraction was really needed—and where react seems to deliver—is with the JS/HTLM/DOM interface. That's where the existing solutions were operating at a bit too low of a level, and that's where react creates powerful declarative abstractions

@iah @kev

Well, there is the #fosstodon IRC channel that @mike set up. It's open to everyone

@SuperFloppies

Does that means that a firewall that only allows traffic on port 80 would effectively block HTTP/2? or am I confused about that? I don't know much about firewalls/enterprise networking

Hey, sysadmins/dev-ops folks in my follows: How common is it for large network firewalls to block/otherwise not support HTTP/2? I know this sometimes happens—not only have I read about it, I've also had to live behind that sort of firewall before (sad times …)

Related: is there any other reason users wouldn't be getting HTTP/2 if I have everything set up right on my end? I know that browser support is pretty good these days.

@ohyran is the item entirely a mcguffan, or does it have a function/purpose within the plot?

@ohyran that sounds pretty awesome. I'd love to be able to play a game like that with a good group of players

@mooshoe fair enough. But some (many?) abstractions add more complexity than they remove
