lol the firefox account server commited sudoku last night and pooped out kilometers of crash logs, I shouldn't have said all those mean things about it behind it's back
@sampo Talking about sync stuff. Seen the xbrowsersync project on F-Droid yesterday and thought of you. Might come in handy
@dd hmmm looks interesting, I could try that. I'm guessing it can't really sync any bookmarks on android because it just be like that, but if it can give me links to click on in the app itself that'd be more than enough.

>mongodb
>node
sigh. I guess it's better than what I have now though, I'll try this thing out!
@sampo @dd There is something pleasurable about your frontend, backend, and persistence API all being in the same language.
@moonman @sampo I don't like the idea, it's like using English to describe a technical drawing (e.g. of a house).

While possible, a drawing with specific icons and measurements tells a lot more faster than a text of English, because drawing is meant to be used and optimized this way, and avoids re-reading the whole thing over and over.

The only advantage is that in my example, only English is used, which is comfy if you only know English, but there are engineers out there who would prefer the technical drawing over a wall of text.
@dd @sampo I don't disagree, it just so happens there's no impedance mismatch with java/mongo like there is with some language+ORM+SQL.
@moonman @sampo I'd personally tolerate Java+Mongo more than NodeJS+Mongo lol
@dd @sampo I've been a Java programmer since 1995 so I have no issue with Java proper, just some parts of Java EE and crazy, annotation-based clusterfuck libraries.
@moonman @sampo Oh wow nice! I was born in 1995 haha. Started coding in C# when I was 18
@dd @sampo People tell me that C# is like Java but better. One day I'll get around to learning it, now that it's supported on Linux these days.
@moonman @sampo I loved C#, but C# wasn't enough for my quest for learning the machine.

Did you know? Mono support GDI+ as-is (even custom controls). Don't know about .NET Core yet.
@dd @sampo I'm running a couple Mono GUI apps, not sure which toolkit they're using though. They are kinda clunky, but they do work.
@moonman @sampo I believe they're custom-made. Project started soon after C#'s initial public release in 2000-2001.
@dd @sampo The main thing I'm using is Keepass2, which works on Windows, Linux and OS X.
