If a literal toaster can do it, I'm sure this thing probably can as well.

Well, it doesn't look like a core dump

Bah humbug, just hook it up to the cloud, WCGW?

I honestly have no idea what they run on, I just know that they exist, and therefore there's a fairly good chance that they at least CAN run Linux.

Perhaps it runs on a Raspberry Pi?

No idea where it's from or what it usually looks like since I just nabbed this off of Facebook, but my guess is to display ads, or perhaps some slo-mo videos of fresh fruit being tossed in an appetizing manner in an attempt to trigger your Pavlovian reflex to buy some of those oranges.

Couldn't find any pictures of that particular setup operating under normal conditions, but here are some similar ones to give you an idea:

Using an actual hard drive for an embedded system like this would be a failure in and of itself.

Unless it literally has to store several hours' worth of HD video content, no reason the entire system couldn't fit on an SD card.

Or an Adafruit, perhaps?

GitLens?

GitHub Desktop is literally "Baby's first git GUI".

You mean these? Does it use them internally, because I haven't really seen them in any Svelte code.

If so, what does it matter what the compiler does in order to make your code work, so long as it's legal? It's perfectly valid JS, that's all that counts.

I wouldn't say Svelte is weird as much as it's different. That's the whole point after all. Instead of adding a bunch of library bloat and keeping an entire copy of the DOM to constantly compare to and derive changes from, it compiles your components down to native JS that manipulates the DOM directly, like you would by hand. Except of course the compiler uses different ways to achieve that than you would, but that's because it doesn't have to care about readability, as long as it creates valid and efficient code.

Both are weird compared to Svelte.
