Flask (Python) for super simple stuff with no db (I have a custom ldap user and groups manager for example) with semantic ui frontend and crude html.
Ktor in kotlin for any API thing that needs to last.
Spring boot in kotlin for stuff that require auth and db with vue.js in front using type script. (Makes developing one week viable products doable)
Bioinformaticians use Python,R,Java,Julia,Groovy,Js and more (I use kotlin and python mostly but that's in a niche of bioinformatics I don't touch genes nor proteins)... Same as in software dev, there are a lot of beliefs. So you have the club of the js people that hate java, the club of pythoners that hate R, and people that just use what allow them to solve their problem and they are the ones that achieve the most but also that you hear about the less.
That looks nice, however for those interested, only the plugins are opensource and usage is not free. The good thing is that it shows what is possible.
I wish we would have the equivalent of the language servers but for collaborative editing. That way you could edit with one user in emacs, one in vscode, one in intellij etc.
Memory initialization is really slow. On servers there is that, plus the fact that you usually don't want to do a fast ram check like you can afford on a laptop. Add to that initialization of the remote management, SAS/raid,... A server does a pretty thorough quality control when it boots. Also if you have a lot of mechanical drives, there may not be enough power budget to spin them all up at the same time, so they start progressively.
Yes I've been using it offline with the electron app and on my phone as an offline website. It works really well that way. The advantage of the electron version is that for local files, it doesn't ask Everytime you want to save, where to save and if you want to overwrite, or save in downloads depending on browser settings.
So what would work better? Video proposals of an excerpt of the talk in front of a webcam? If you make sure the jury isn't biased why not (they could also be biased with written proposals of course)
+1 I've been using makefiles more and more. And the nice thing is, if you don't have hidden dependencies you can just do a make -jn and get parallelism.
I3 supports compositing, I used it to have semi transparent floating windows (heresy for a tiling wm isn't it) and it also greatly improved some stuff such as smooth scrolling that was all teary.
