@Xirate that’s just marketing by people who Unironically call themselves creative visionaries/thought leaders, and genuinely feel good bc their Starbucks barrista knows that they like paprika on their cabbage latte. They would also call it Beef-as-a-Tortoise or Bambooware-cucumber-dare if that was the current flavor of being the thoughtiest of thought leaders but alas not today, no, today, SaaS is how you make it.

those are meeting days. the context switch cost-benefit analysis is above my pay grade

services are services (and not just “startup apps”) because they get spawned right at kernel startup. Necessary bc they’re loading bedrock-low level code like whatever decides wether this group of circuitry should get 1.1 volts of juice for 0.25 seconds or 1.2 volts for 0.2 seconds. Too far from yarn for me.

The reductionism runs deep here… like can you really think of a better system for giving academics

1) a stock-standard, always works data visualization environment + animation / interactivity / reproducibility and being able to share it all in a browser?

And that’s not even the main thing. Forget matplotlib/pandas/ipywidgets, those are cool but being able to actually command the program control flow in a JIT fashion (by running each cell when one chooses to) is game changing.

Not everything is a nail lol
