@tobyjaffey I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I thought Claude was an "it"? I swear I read somewhere that Anthropic stated that Claude was officially an "it".
@adjb Netlify also has some server side JS stuff, if you need it. It's a pretty good place to host.
@adjb If it's a purely static site (which I'm assuming it is since you mentioned 11ty), is there a reason you can't do something like Netlify? Or AWS S3 + AWS CloudFront? Or GitHub pages? Or any of the other static hosting options?
I hate this timeline
@kepano I've been trying out obsidian this past month. How did you get that calendar showing on the bottom right of the screen? Is it it a plugin? If so which one?

@kizu Honestly, i still find it the most bizarre language design decision.

Take the thing you do most often (call a variable) and make THAT the most verbose part of the syntax in turn make defining it (which you do once) the least verbose syntax.

@mattwilcox @kizu Absolutely 100%. Many times I find myself just copy-pasting chunks of CSS because variables are so clumsy to use. Having `var(--...)` everywhere adds so much extra noise, especially if it's inside other things like calc expressions (Which also feel unnecessary, just let me do bare maths anywhere!).
@jacqueline wait what happened with fastmail? I thought they were the thing everyone was looking at since Proton Mail went mask off?
@bignose With React now having a compiler, server components that require advanced bundling steps, and JSX that must be transformed into plain JS, the notion that React is "Just a library" is completely shattered 😂

Everytime I see a take along the lines of "JS Web Frameworks are bloated" I wish they'd just name names. These people are always talking about React/NextJS (or Angular). But no, apparently all frameworks are bad and we should imperatively updating the DOM by hand 🙄
