Their handling of MDN has been disappointing. Laying off their staff, asking for unpaid contributors, and selling more advertising space was greedy business. They're currently running a REDIS advertisement that looks like a critical er

Oof, yes that's certainly a way QR codes can go wrong. Ideally manufacturers print the QR code on the device such that it lasts the device's lifetime. It would be nice if technical users (installers) could reset the certificates o

I'm particularly fond of the latter approach. There's some joy in applying hints that can be optionally read and only provide clarity. It's a great writing challenge. I did sweat localization with this approach. We use a work

As mentioned, the DOM API is a stinker. Does this address that root issue? I'd love to see something that builds on the work of hyperscript and HAST. They are great models of the DOM. It would be exciting if a template language were sy

Whoa, what a surprising fact! I had not considered TCO in LISP was "nice to have." That's a good example where it's easy to hack but hard to make production ready.

Why was LISP not one of the first languages able to compile to WASM? I've been curious ever since the awesome WASM project started tracking different projects. They use emojis for progress and LISP has been a hatching egg.

I wanted to understand if any other cpu generations had comparable gains over the previous, but I need to work on an Intel ark scraper. Maybe I'll find some time to post it back here on HN. Thanks for added details
