@arichtman @ellyxir Back when it was first coming out I tried my hand at some basic WAT coding. Doing for loops was surprisingly a major pain in the ass :P

@ellyxir Item 1: replace WASM with BEAM 🤪

@calcifer @j2kun @ifixcoinops Oh! I remember Opera had that at one point. I've been meaning to add it but I'm not sure what the most reliable method to get the "next page" is. I've also added a "go up" so you can navigate to parent directories.

@nasser I mean they weren't wrong tbh. 😅 Most people don't need to care about memory management even if it isn't efficient. Maybe the growing cost of RAM will change things

@arichtman You can overflow it and there was a spec proposed for tail call optimization when ES6 was still the new hype, so I guess it does? https://gpx.github.io/posts/es6-tail-call-optimization/

I wish Javascript had a nice array slice primative (for objects). Or structs I could allocate on the stack. 🥲

Thankful that I learned C as my first "serious" programming language before I got set in my ways. Kinda wish I had more excuses to use it (or Rust tbh) at work. Garbage collected langs low key irk me even though I'm so used to them.

I really enjoyed this post about Log Structured Merge Trees.

@j2kun @kitten_tech @ifixcoinops @agregore Yeah the hard part there IMO is connecting the browser to whatever home server you have for initiating tge mentions. I feel like detecting mentionable pages to then redirect to your server of choice could be doable. easier in the ActivityPub case for stuff that implements the client-server API

@kitten_tech @j2kun @ifixcoinops Very interesting! I've been thinking of doing some stuff along these lines (For ActivityPub) in @agregore , but RSS seems like an even better target. Plus it being read only simplifies a lot.

@ifixcoinops What would the "browser" part of it do that couldn't be done in a regular web app?

@Sirablopp It's generay not safe to disclose disabilities to companies. There's a high chance of discrimination no matter what they say or are legally obligated to do. Maybe ask about their company culture around neurodiversity first? E.g. if the recruiter is neurodiverse or knows enployees that are it might be more safe.

@unktheunk Yeah that's fair. IMO ads would be great if they were something people went to search through rather than something forced onto them. E.g. I like watching movie trailers when figuring out stuff to watch, or product reviews/ads when choosing between devices. I even don't mind when online stores learn my preferences when I search on them and give me suggestions related to what I like.

@unktheunk TBH I'd go as far as banning all ads, but I don't think the world is ready for that one :P

Oracle should buy one or more of the big AI companies so our cyberpunk dystopia can get even more cliche.

Recommendation systems that aim to maximize time spent scrolling should be illegal.

Even if voting ian't always a great way of choosing paths, I think at least 80% of those involved should actually choose something they beliece in even if they don't think anyone there will necessarily want to choose their option. Even if the option is "none of the above", tbh.
