OT: we should really extend bbcode with a safe scripting language. The hilarious stuff that could happen in threaded discussions. You could have a sub set of safe instructions that get executed automatically, a larger set of instructions that require pressing a button under the comment. (And a button to view the code) Then a 3rd set that triggers permission dialogs for things like loading (1 or n) external data sets. "Uploading" files, loops that run more than 30,1000 or 10k rounds, access to camera/photos, canvas, LLM etc
You start a topic by pasting a dataset or a link to some JSON csv, xml, sql files, etc, then add a description or some other rage bate to start a conversation.
Seems much fun and a great way to start getting into coding.

- econ 9mo agoIt obviously requires a lot of figuring out (by better men than me) but it seems a worthwhile adventure. The halting problem can just be figured out experimentally in production. Users might need to earn or lose privileges over time as things escalate. Admins might approve a script and allow running it without prompts or pressing the button. Perhaps entire applications can be written this way. I much enjoyed old php code with discussions in threaded comments. (The cache will save us.)
