I had a dream where @makeworld posted a screenshot of his terminal in a work group chat askong a question but it had some sort of cli command called "ужде" invoked like "ужде -уху | something" and I was in the middle of figuring out wtf it was supposed to do but my phone woke me up. I'm guessing it would have been some common tool used by merveilles.town folks though :P

(the cyrillic letters are gibberish btw and not actual words)

@jonny on a related note, if you haven't read Fine Structure by qntm, i'd strongly endorse it. I liked his desceiption of what it could be like if information was a fundamental force. qntm.gumroad.com/l/ELFop?layou

being a programmer is very liberating because i can turn any computer problem into a much weirder computer problem

@jonny we're all nodes in the hypergraph of the universe. Slapping edges between our own inner cosmos.

@jonny maybe the real json-ld is the friends we made along the way 🥰

@metasyn An Ottawa band called Skullgate :)

I'm not really in touch with the scene but some of my pals are so I tag along every now and then.

Went to my first hardcore punk show. It was fun.

Lol I was a bit too hasty packing for my move and now all my makeup and medicine stuff is in a jumble in a box 😅😅

@daaain Could you elaborate now how the ReadableStream API applies to this context? Do you mean that folks should parse `fetch()` responses as a binary buffer stream and that that would be used for subscriptions along with a custom NDJSON based wire protocol instead of the EventSource API?

IMO EventSource give us more to work with, but I would agree that NDJSON with a series of Activities would be easy to implement.

@happyborg Maybe if we can figure out how to get SAFE protocol handlers into @agregore ? :ooo

People are always like "what are the financial incentives for protocols??" but I'm here seeding like 50 TB per month out of the goodness of my heart and my unlimited fibe internet.

All Linux ISOs and copies of Big Buck Bunny.mp4 of course. 😈

Defs gonna set up some sort of TOR and Veilid relays or whatever. Maybe also move my server hosting to be on prem in my living room?

@iatendril@snug.moe Also speaking of scope chain, the `with` statement still works and can help you perform true acts of evil with your code >:P

@evan Websockets means inventing more wire protocols and is much harder to implement. Server Sent Events are a simple text based standard and have a way to deliniate event types / reconnect logic / etc. Fitting an event stream of AP Activities is a small amount of spec work and implimentation compared to websockets. (cross language too) Also easy browser APIs!

@iatendril@snug.moe Yeah from what I understand the scope chain looks like globalThis => dom IDs => global `var`s => module level const/let => function/block scope const/let

@evan Ah but that is for servers to get data pushed to other accounts' server inboxes not for clients to pull updates from a server.

E.g. a client application would need extra apis specific to their sever to be able to get updates.

I'm into thick clients over implementation specific server APIs. 😅

Managed to haggle with my ISP to increase my speed by 500 mbps and also save me 25 bucks a month. 🥳

Still costs me way too much compared to other countries, but at least it's not coax anymore :P

Giving myself cringe damage remembering how I'd do presentations in professional settings with anime girl backgrounds on my laptop backnin the day 💀💀💀💀💀

@iatendril@snug.moe I love using this for when I make small single file apps. :P The trickiest bit is to not mangle globals.
