Garbage Tax. There should be a Garbage Tax on all manufacturers, distributors and resellers of non-recyclable/non-bio-degradable/non-bio-consumable products. We're all paying for the externalized cost of waste management but the ones who should be paying for it (and penalized for it) are the one who are profiting from it (all those who manufacture, distribute and sell non-reusable products that externalize the waste management cost to the rest of us)

You're being ludicrous. A million startups can be founded by pathological pu$$y grabing liars but that does not make them the next Google. Does Monsanto have pathological liars at the top, sure but they're not Google. To be Google you're head has to be screwed on right.

You cannot be in a startup that is the next Google and be a supporter of someone who is a proven pathological liar and pu$$y grabbing sexual predator. That simply defies logic, if not the rules of common decency, and you need to be good at logic to be Google, or anyone (other than Trump)

Pyret looks like a good endeavor.

Another dumb question: doesn't every recursive function have an iterative version? and in the case where you're transpiling to JS couldn't 'map' (whatever the syntax in Pyret) and other functional primitives be converted to imperative code? Generator functions are no different than regular functions when it comes to stack depth. I think that depends on the amount of memory you have, so different from machine to machine. I'm learning by asking dumb questions... :)

<<So to use generators as a compilation target, every function has to be a generator>>

Sure, but in those cases the functions are transpiled to JS so it doesn't really matter, not like they're coded by hand, right...? I think I understand what you mean.

Are you sure it's not because those frameworks/libraries were written before generators became available in the latest browsers?

What about generators? I've built coroutines based on generators. CSP has been implemented in JS using generators. Not sure why those projects went thru "staggering amount of overhead" to get what we get for free with generators. Please educate.

If you stay on the surface and follow trends you will think front end web development is insanity inducing. But if you go deeper, develop your own thinking and deep patterns you will realize that the web platform is doing just fine and is progressing better than most languages/platforms out there.

Yeah this guy (park.io) is getting free PR and manipulating everyone here. It's obvious that he is marketing himself in this thread and calls himself a hacker. The funny part is he has very little hacker credibility if he hasn't been able to get his server up all day.

A big no no is to steal domains that just lapsed on their registration by mere seconds or minutes and then engage in price gouging via a scheme that makes Park.io not legally responsible (because well it's the owner of the domain who had purchased it via Park.io who is doing it, and do we really know that it's that owner or park.io itself hiding behind a some fake user account?)

Anyway, the idea of stealing domains and then ripping off people who are interested in them is really super amoral and stinky.

People should do good in the world, not make it a worse place , and then bate others with how much they make for sake of publicity and more money.

B.S. business model.
