kevining commented on Six years later, Star Citizen is still raking it in   eurogamer.net/articles/20... · Posted by u/briatx

I'm a backer of Star Citizen and I've gotten my value out of backing it just from the community and all of the content that keeps coming out on the game. It's been $50 for me for hundreds of hours of entertainment so far, much better value than two tickets to the movies.

I do believe that there has been a bunch of mismanagement, which is a shame, but I still look forward to playing it sometime within the next 5-10 years. No game has ever been as ambitious as the scope of what Star Citizen aims to do.

Is this framework tightly bound to nodejs or can it be used with other backend stacks like asp.net core or spring?
kevining · 7 years ago
Fusion.js is a javascript framework meant to be run on Node. There's nothing stopping you from calling out to other backends and asp.net if you stand up a Fusion.js frontend Node server.

Looks like a competitor to next.js, and from their docs built on koa.

It’s nice to see more libs in this space, but it seems a little over complicated to me with the “plugin” style arch.

Correct about Fusion.js being based on koa. We find that this fits really nicely within the plugin system. The diagram is complex, but we inject the render phase into the middleware stack. Everything before `await next()` is pre-render, and everything after `await next()` is post-render. It makes it very easy to reason about the lifecycle of a plugin, as everything is in one place.

I've been working with the Fusion.js team for the last year now, and I think it's evolved into a really interesting and modern web framework. Internally we've started rolling this framework to a few dozen web applications, and soon we will have hundreds of web apps running it. I think it's a great choice to use as a base for high-performance and complex web applications.

I'm also doubtful about the management of hosts. Yesterday, an Airbnb Superhost cancelled my upcoming reservation without explanation. I booked with a hotel and saved about $25. Airbnb has been my first choice for awhile. I think it is going to be my back up choice for the near future.

I had the same issue. An Airbnb host cancelled our reservation the day before our booking was supposed to start and Airbnb didn't help us out at all. We ended up paying quite a bit more for a hotel, but after going through that I'm happy to pay more in the future for professionalism and a guaranteed bed.

50km/h is suicide.

ps: anybody here owns a gyrowheel ?

kevining · 7 years ago
Electric unicycle? I own several. Some will even go over 50 km/h, though I don't dare go that fast. It's just safe to have the extra power when needed.

Has anyone used [Nightmare](https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare)? It's built on top of Electron -- the Atom code editor is built on Electron.

It's great, but I can't stand the chaining syntax. I'm a bit biased, but I think that some suite with async/await will be the future. Here's something that I've been working on: https://github.com/KevinGrandon/ghostjs/
