I don't think you need to have the largest following to have great value, even lemmy as it is right now feels great. I'll actually want to dive into comment sections compared to the endless scrolling on reddit.

As long as there's enough people using a platform for a variety of ideas and experience in topics, I think that's good enough for me.

I've built and deployed specifically small applications using sqlite and yeah I agree with everything, but especially the migration pains. Any change becomes difficult and bringing another developer onto a project just slows it to a crawl when db changes are needed. If that can be resolved I could be convinced, but until them postgres4lyf

Why aim for shutting down nuclear power plants? The carbon emissions per kwh is the lowest out of all methods we have. Even with solar/wind there's a carbon cost from the materials and maintenence and from what I remember that cost per kwh is higher than nuclear over a long enough time period.

I, an intellectual, use typescript.

I'm 31 and I declare I'm too old to relearn the muscle memory. I acceot the occasional need to retie my laces.

Yeah if we want power at all there's a heavy carbon cost to it regardless where it comes from. Nuclear from what I understand is more compatible with our preexisting electricity networks because like coal it has big chunks of metal spinning to store energy giving the ability to react incredibly fast to changes in the network. Battery banks may be able to do this quick response, but the longevity of rare earth mineral based solutions although fancy has me concerned. Very little can degrade with a massive flywheel and the losses from nuclear to get it up and spinning would be far lower than say spinning it with motors as an energy store.

Long term I agree though, the complexities around nuclear don't paint it as our saviour. Maybe for now, and probably the next hundred years, leaning into nuclear is at least harm reduction

Typescript is just Javascript with a few extra features sprinkled ontop such as static types instead of Javascripts dynamic, this makes it a lot easier to develop software with. It's still very much Javascript though, and my comment was a bit of a gaff
