Calling all web developers:
check "Zero" out - sounds pretty amazing!

"Developing web applications has gotten insanely complex.

You need a tall pile of tech to build a "modern" web app: client-side code, server-side code, APIs to tie them together, data fetching, state management, hydration, websockets for reactivity, and a whole lot more. And once you're done, the resulting app still isn't very good.

It's time for a rethink.

We're building an open-source, general-purpose sync engine for the web. You put Zero in front of your database and web server, and we distribute your backend all the way to main thread of the UI.

(...)

This architecture provides:

Instant (zero milliseconds) response for almost all user interactions – the user taps a button and the UI instantly updates, in the next frame.

Automatic reactivity – a user changes something and all other users see the change live.

Dramatically faster development velocity – almost all features can be built completely client-side, with no need for new server-side APIs to be built and deployed.

Scalability – Zero can work with any amount of backend data. It doesn't require syncing all data to the client up-front, or knowing which data you'll need ahead of time. If the app needs data which hasn't already been synced, it is synced on demand.

California’s plan to meet electric vehicle goals despite Trump’s attacks

From Donald Trump’s first day back in office, he vowed to unravel California’s sway over the nation’s auto-emission…

If we multiply Zero (0) with Infinity (∞), then we can't determine the result. This is one of the 7 indeterminate forms in mathematics. I think this can be expressed philosophically as "When an Immovable Object meets an Unstoppable Force, the result is Cannot be Determined."

Everyone in the US must realize that #Republicans will not allow #Democrats to control the federal Government again.
They passed a #Genocide #tax on every US citizen by taking vital #healthcare from the most vulnerable and giving #tax breaks to the most wealthy who DO NOT pay a fair ratio of #incometax because of itemized deductions.
Most Americans take the standard deduction but if you have money and spend money, it's possible to itemize deductions so you pay #zero income tax.

Francisco Ferreira da #ZERO:

"A União Europeia (UE) está a dizer adeus à ambição climática. Esta semana, em contraste com sinais evidentes de um clima em alteração com temperaturas recordes em toda a Europa, a Comissão Europeia apresentou, com meses de atraso, a meta climática para 2040, propondo uma redução de pelo menos 90% das emissões face a 1990. No entanto, esta meta inclui mecanismos de flexibilidade, como créditos de carbono internacionais e compensações intersectoriais, que enfraquecem a ambição necessária num momento crítico de agravamento da crise climática.

Este atraso compromete também as metais europeias para 2035 a aprovar na COP30 no Brasil no final deste ano e enfraquece a liderança global da UE ao sinalizar falta de determinação política. Estas flexibilidades inaceitáveis, pois permitem desresponsabilizar setores emissores e adiar a transição, ignorando recomendações científicas que apontavam para reduções entre 90% e 95% sem tais mecanismos. A proposta surge num contexto político adverso após as eleições europeias de 2024, com um recuo climático generalizado, tendo a Comissão optado por um compromisso frágil para evitar confrontos com governos menos ambiciosos, como os da Polónia e Hungria. Esta é uma oportunidade perdida de promover a liderança climática europeia."

When #Infinity Equals #Zero: #Pallets, #Forklifts, and the #Paradox of #Meaning

"Then there’s the odd paradox of laughter, pain, and how sometimes the deepest wounds spark the biggest laughs. I’ve seen a coworker crack up recounting a near-miss; winded, with their heart racing. A few moments later, they dissolved into tears. We guffaw at the absurdity of our own bruises, and in that release, pain feels oddly lighter. Even the silliest joke can wound deeper than an insult, by exposing the fragile hope we cling to. And this works in both directions; laughing to keep from sobbing, crying at the memory of a punch line. We long to touch the raw edges of what it means to be #alive
