Let's imagine I have a blog and put something along these lines somewhere on every page: "This content is provided free of charge for humans to experience. It may also be automatically accessed for search indexing and archival purposes. For licensing information for other uses, contact the author."
If I then get hit by a rude AI scraper, what chances would I have to sue the hell out of them in EU courts for copyright violation (uhh, my articles cost 100k a pop for AI training, actually) and the de facto DDoS attack?
I really liked the chill vibe and it ran surprisingly well for a 3D browser game. Are there any "secrets" besides the alien, space ship and the girl on the roof who talks about Three.js?
Solid is definitely in that “compile-to-direct-DOM” camp, and I think it’s awesome — it shows how far you can push the reactive model with JSX + fine-grained updates.
dagger.js is coming from the opposite direction: no compiler, no JSX, and also no signals. just plain HTML with attributes like +click / +load. You drop in a <script> from a CDN and it wires up behavior at runtime. It’s more about zero build friction and “view-source-ability”than squeezing out maximum perf.
So if Solid is about compiling React-like ergonomics down to efficient DOM transforms, dagger is about skipping compilation entirely and letting you glue components together with HTML. Two very different trade-offs, but complementary ends of the spectrum.
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." -Stephen Jay Gould
I see where this quote is coming from… but Einstein is a bad example. His success was not from golden Stanford opportunities.
Every life decision was him opting out of responsibility and prestige to spend more time on his interests.
So “people of equal talent, and commitment to their work at the cost of all other qualities of life including relationships” looks very different than that quote wants to suggest.
The context of this discussion is an argument that we need to find the Albert Einstein of the world to help them go to Stanford. My argument is that Einstein never went to the proverbial Stanford. In fact he avoided those things.
