> There are other systems in the world (namely the scandinavian countries) that don't allow individuals to accumulate that amount of wealth.
This is a common misconception. The Scandinavian model has changed rapidly the last few decades. Sweden now ranks higher than the US in number of dollar billionaires per capita, even if none are at Ellison level yet.
Edited to add: in fact, the Scandinavian model has always been more about equality of income, rather than wealth. There are, and has been throughout the 20th century, wealthy dynasties as well as industry tycoons who has largely been left alone by the social democratic system, and indeed viewed more as an important part of the system than anything else. Since the 90s, though, it has changed rapidly, such that today there is no tax on wealth, inheritance, gifts or real estate, as well as a low corporate income tax.
Thanks for explaining some intricacies about taxes, however this does not disprove my point.
1. Scandinavian countries impose higher taxes on their rich VS the US. It does not have to be a wealth tax. Think effective tax rate.
2. Income inequality is lower there compared to the US.
It is a very different system than the US, it's frankly strange to have to argue that.
A good friend of mine did this; not so much cheese I think but loads of cream, butter, and meat. He ended up with cardiac arrest, followed by sepsis due to an operation. He's mostly ok now though.
Lit does not use a virtual DOM, nor require a compile step. Instead, it utilizes object accessors and tagged templates to figure out when to schedule an update.
I always recommend looking at Server-Sent Events [0] and EventSource [1]. It's a standardization of old style long-polling, mapping very well to the HTTP paradigm and is built in to the web standard.
It's so much easier to reason about than websockets, and a naive server side implementation is very simple.
A caveat is to only use them with HTTP 2 and/or client side logic to only have one connection open to the server, because of browser limits on simultaneous requests to the same origin.
I got a Zehus Halos [0] for my racing bike, a Commencal Stewart; I ripped out all of the gears and replaced the rear wheel with a wheel from Nfixed [1] who builds wheels with the Halos. Conversion couldn't have been easier -- just replace the rear wheel, take away the gears and replace the front blade. The result is an amazing bike, fun, easy, beautiful.
I still haven't pushed the range to the max, but with break regeneration and moderate assistance, it seems like the range would be 50-60 km, which is more than enough for me.
As a fan of literate programming, I hope this could be a tool in the box for Node.js developers: Testy is basically doctests for Node.js, building off JSDoc's @examples stanza.
Later languages have added support for the `x` flag, including C# and Rust. There is also a stage 1 proposal for JavaScript: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-x-mode
