Oh yeah, if there was a way to send markup to the browser and have the browser render a UI for that. I wonder why nobody thought of that as of now ... oh. wait. ... ah we want "native" components. Yea. html only had "native components" for a long time, too ...
so - html as json without css and a richer component palette?
Yep. WSL and WSL2 are great. I used Windows with WSL, upgrade to WSL2 then noticed I don't need the "Windows" part of the system anymore and WSL2 cross-boundary file access is slow, so I deleted Windows and finally installed Linux again on my work laptop. (Used Linux up to 2007, bought a Mac, another Mac, switched to Windows after Apple locked down the system because "Windows has WSL, so I can do my work stuff" and switched back to Linux due to a slow Filesystem under Windows - for my use case).
The only thing that pisses me off, is that the MS-Teams client for Linux is roughly 5 decades behind the Windows client, feature and stability-wise.
(And still have Windows on my private laptop for Fusion360 and games)
Haha, the old Java GUI builders in the 90s did something like this. You could either drag around the window (and the code would be updated) or modify the code (within limits) and it would parse it into the GUI builder.
Who's old enough to remember the Symantec Visual Cafe IDE?
I grew up in Germany in the cold war, around 80 km west of the iron curtain. Prime target for nukes from both sides as it would be the place where Nato and Warshaw Pact would collide. In fact there were even nuclear "landmines" near bridges or other tactical points for making areas impassable by soviet tanks.
During the 80s I was fully aware that - if WW3 would have broken out, even in a limited way - it would have meant game over for me. You'll learn just not to worry about that.
Nah. My home internet is originally Dual-Stack lite IPv6 mainly with IPv4 being tunneled over an Enterprise-like NAS (so my outgoing IPv4 connections share the address with other users).
I just switched to full dual stack (by leasing a static IPv4 address from my provider) to be able to handle incoming connections for my VPN. As long as you don't want to host anything on IPv4, dual stack lite is fine.
