   Sure I like nice hidpi antialiased, slightly shadowed buttons with translucency, but I kind of like pixel embracing UIs (nice pixel fonts with no AA are quite legible to me). I'm on and off on writing a tiny 4 colors desktop with simp

   I've had to do this lately and apart from the fact that my portable pc can only do 4K at 30Hz it works quite well and gives you LOTS of room for putting HD sized windows aside but that you can glance as needed. Does anyone have the sam

    This is great but -if I dare - wouldn't it be time to allow js to have type annotations [1] ? As in python, treat it as comments for now but with real syntax and let interesting dialects emerge from the consensus ? I like jsdoc but the

    ... is nice but needs the social network effects. Maybe adding some federation and stars / comments as a protocol (not just a program) could help. Maybe it exists and lacks coherence/ publicity.

    This seems unneeded waste, maybe 10 random complete writes (or/and usage of paranoid safe deletion utilities) would be sufficient to erase the disk effectively?
