Ken WhiteMy post about the latest Trump indictment and about how people -- specifically the National Review -- are lying to you about it.

Hi Jonathon,
Thanks for encouraging words.
Currently, SWIM uses no frameworks (my own scala code makes svg plots), and no back-end - the web version you see just calculates in the browser (try disconnecting after it loaded, you can still change params and see plots adjust). This enables quick interactivity. However use of scala offers the potential for some science-modules to shift relatively easily to server side if they evolved to become more data-intensive.

For backend http4s and the typelevel ecosystem is one choice, otherwise Play Framework is still great and is being ported to Scala 3 (not sure if it was already released or not).

Indeed so, I chose #Scala3 for SWIM :

as I can write a complex society-climate #model, complex web GUI, and handle many historical datasets, all in one language - and I'm amazed how robustly #scalajs works for this. This is - so far - a one-man project. However individuals can keep coding longer than fashions in tech, or even mega corporations. Scala needs a broader influx, such examples of science code can help show python is not the only option.

CO2 levels are higher than since long before humans even existed.
Sheril KirshenbaumCleopatra VII died a little over 2,000 years ago.
But the Great Pyramid of Giza was completed ~2560 BCE.
So you & I live closer in time to Cleopatra VII than she did to the Great Pyramid.
Robert ReichWe shouldn’t just raise the debt ceiling — we should abolish it.
It serves absolutely no purpose.
The only thing the debt ceiling actually does is give members of Congress a "trigger global financial crisis" button.
Isaac FreemanThe worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.
