So if Ruby is dying and .NET is dying and PHP is dying, does that mean the future is NodeJS? Because if it is, fuck that noise.

Hey @boomzilla what are you doing here?
So, @royal_poet and I picked up a box of T.I.M.E. Stories this weekend and settled down to play.

Better view...
Naturally, wooden table.

Politics category
It seems that we have a 'few' politics threads going on right now.
Might I suggest a politics category where we can Jeff the threads to and then be able to ignore the entire category for those of us who don't habitually wear flame retardant chemicals?

RE: This is how it feels to learn Javascript in 2016
@anonymous234 to be brutally honest I'm getting fed up of the whole web thing, it's like all the problems that were solved twenty years ago are suddenly new problems again and I'm tempted to fuck off to regular desktop development because that seems less full of ...

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Parody I want a CMS that makes it marginally less painful than writing things by hand. MediaWiki does that but the minute you want to go beyond that it's a clusterfuck.
I love how, for example, to properly replicate the sidebar that Wikipedia has, you need to not only enable several bundled extensions but you're writing Lua scripts to do it which get run in a PHP interpreter...

Excuses, excuses.
I wouldn’t park a Lambo outside, not in this neighbourhood. I’d come home to find it replaced with a mid range EV that’s tuned for urban stop/start traffic for the bonus green credentials.

PHP devs all drive Lambos
Awaiting the picture of @Arantor's car in the Lounge.
I live in the middle of a city with no parking spaces, I instead invested it in property. I’m in the centre of town, 5 mins walk from the train station, under 10 from the heart of the shopping area and I have garden space both front and back.
Don’t need a car in my town.

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and write me a wiki platform that does what I want.
I find "Text files in a folder" to be a pretty good substitute.
For me personally, sure, but the project isn’t just me and other people like the pretty formatting and the hypertext part of it because it actually is connected pages in honest to goodness HT fashion.

@boomzilla It's funny, but it's not particularly correct.
Mainly because universities have been the backbone for fundamental research since the beginning, and were initially granted more freedom than the rest of the society as most rulers did recognize value in having some smart people that were, in private, allowed to criticise them.
