Some friends of mine were doing this sort of thing (split development) years ago, pre AI. They had a desktop client in C++ and JS client for the web, which was slow. They compiled the core of the C++ one into ASM.js (this dates it) and it ran a lot faster. After a while they scrapped the pure JS one.

I voted for Harris

Methinks the slashdotter doth protest too much.

When I said some people will never vote for her because they're racist sexists who will never vote for a black woman... why did you think I was talking about you and then get super offended? You are literally not the kind of person who (if you are telling the truth) will never vote for a black woman. So...? What's in your head?

Or is this just some sort of reflexive snowflakery where you can't bare for certain kinds of observations to land on other people who aren't even you even when they fit? I don't get it.

In other words people were faced with a binary choice between two bumbling incompetent idiots

No, enough with the juvenile both-sidesisms. They are not equal "bumbling incompetents", you know this, else why did you not vote Trump? You know full well he ha completely lost the plot and an barely even speak coherently as opposed to being somewhat uninspiring. Why the false equivalence?

"The top reasons voters gave for not supporting Harris were that inflation was too high (+24), too many immigrants crossed the border (+23), and that Harris was too focused on cultural issues rather than helping the middle class (+17). "

Well the utter fuckwits who voted Trump got the inflation an middle-class help they voted for. I hope they are enjoying it, because everyone else got it too and someone ought to like it.

Oh yeah other reaons: debt rose too much. So they voted for the party with a much much worse track record on debt and Trump delivered on that too.

And as for cultural issues? What cultural issues? This was largely a Republican thing that was completely made up. And no, the most insane person you can find on twitter is not actually a Democrat policy position.

Like what? A tactical swat team?

Yes I know you're a moron you don't have to shout. In your tiny minded world the choices are only "police" and "more police". You seem unable to grasp concept that the police aren't experts at everything. Maybe the tactical swat team can blast the fire out of your house if it starts to burn down too. Wouldn't want civic money to be diverted from the police to the fire department. That's dangerous liberal stupidthink that is.

Good question, why DO you guys do that?

Really? No u is the best you can manage? No wonder you're not smart enough to advocate for better spending of tax money.

Gotta love the presumption of ***ism

Ah yes I forgot that in right wing nutjob land one isn't allowed to use powers of observation, and find out facts that way. Tell me: how is life in special snowflake fantasy land where you're too delicate for the truth?

the simple fact she was incompetent

So like Trump, but less bad. Like I said for literally every complaint from the RWNJs about Harris, Trump was worse.

sounded like a bumbling idiot

So not as bad as Trump who sounds completely demented and rambles incoherently completely off topic when he's not just sort of grunting weird sounds because he lost the plot entirely.

Biden's excuse of advanced age

Ah yes, the RWNJs thought age was the most important thing until Trump was the senile demented octogenarian at which point it didn't matter.

Well this settles it

It does. You're clearly either lying or self-deluded about your motivations for voting because you prefer someone who is obviously worse in the areas you care about.

Kamalan Harris and AOC were themselves chanting defund the police

That's because unlike the right, the left apparently also has good fiscal sense.

Why waste money paying the police to inefficiently (and badly) do things they are bad at, when you can instead spend that money on people equipped and trained to do a better job more efficiently.

Oh yeah because that means the police hurt the right kind of people and spite is more important than fiscal prudence to the right. This is why the left is always better for the economy than the right.

So why wouldn't you just say "reform the police"?

Because the point is to take money that's inefficiently spent on making the police too generalist and spend it on more efficient specialist organisations for dealing with things the police are not good at dealing with,

It's an obvious way to save money, being more efficient. Why the fuck do right wingers absolutely despise fiscal responsibility so much? That's what I don't understand.

I think you RWNJs should make up your minds here. Are we all forcing people to use cars or trains?

Or is it buses or walking or biking in the rain? I'd like to get on with enforcing my leftist agenda but I'm not even clear what it's even meant to be anymore.

So yet again, you've chosen an allegation the Republicans are guilty of

This as far as I can tell i actually the core tenet of conservatism: scream about how the other guys are doing something you're doing. It's not a new one: Thatcher made her famous quip about "other people's money" while being busy spending other people's money on propping up failed policies, 40 years ago. We are still in a deep hole with that.

What the fuck are you talking about?

People like him don't have reason they have rationalizations. Being too old was SUPER IMPORTANT when Biden was 2 years older than Trump, but vanished in importance for Harris, for example.

She was a black woman she never stood a chance no matter what. None of the Republican complaints about her held up at the time never mind hindsight.

Quite a lot of people are exist, quite a lot of racist and quite a lot were hurting a bit and wanted someone who'd hurt someone else publicly. No campaign form Harris could ever do anything about that.

I mean this isn't to say yes, good grief Biden should have stepped down, the Dems should have kicked him out from the race a year before and had a proper primary. But nonetheless, people voted for Trump knowing exactly what he was like. Nothing excuses that.

All the Dems had to do was run a viable candidate.

Name one way in which Harris was worse than Trump.

Sure Biden should have dropped out. He was losing his marbles and unfit for office. But the republicans didn't care about that (despite the endless whining) because they voted in Trump who is losing his marbles and unfit for office.

Except that left overreach led to Trump.

What left overreach? I mean real things not random shit made up by Republicans.

I suspect a lot of them knew he was lying, but the Democrats are so fucking useless that they just wanted to blow the whole thing up in the hope of something better emerging at the end.

Maybe? But I don't think that means people aren't massive fucking morons. Just blowing shit up almost always makes it worse, but ti's sure easier than engaging in politics, joining parties, voting in selection processes etc. I think a lot of people know things are shit and just loved that Trump would punch down and hurt someone else more.

But notice how it's always "both sides are useless and shit", so I voted for the one that's also massively incompetent, corrupt and racist, because I reckon they'll fix everything.

Nope, we in the educated middle

That "middle" is doing an awful lot of very heavy lifting.

You're right on the fringe with your endless, mindless ranting about "woke". You can't even define what it is other than a random miscellaneous grab bag of things that are annoying you today.

But it was a lie,[...]

And people aren't really sure still which is worse

that's because people are morons. They didn't figure out it was a lie first time. Somehow after living the first one in real time and Trump leaving very unpopular they figured it wasn't a lie again. If people haven't figured out which is worse they have their head so far up their ass they might be able to see brown tinted daylight from the wrong end.

I can see why you don't want competition from other hateful demented people on the rampage.

That is like me hoping I'll win the lottery. I don't play.
