   When I see projects like https://webtorrent.io/ https://openpgpjs.org/ or things like https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc I sometimes wonder if just a 2018 web browser is enough.

   @thyrsus (slightly off-topic) I stumbled upon an old comment* you made about dealing with orgmode and noweb when editing an erlang file (bit syntax). If you didn't find it yet, at the end of the file, insert: Local Variables: org

    There's also the issue of plugins compatibility. Back in the days when the web was just Flash, it wasn't as easy as Ctrl+S to save content you wanted to keep. In a few years, you may need to spin a VM with an older OS to launch a

    You have to see things from the hunter's point of view. If your strength lies in endurance, you'll hunt the Usain Bolt equivalent. There's obviously no data, but I would bet any of the top 10000 long distance women runners ou

    Brute force is not required to damage/alter the brain. Food, aclohol, drugs or stress can easily alter brain chemistry in dramatic ways. Now, whether or not any government will do something like that is another question.

    OP was saying that code > UI "for developpers". Something like one of Brett Victor's UI[0] integrated in GIMP would be quite nice for a dev who can draw, or a painter who can code. [0] https://vimeo.com/365

    If you want to understand, see it as an addiction, especially a slot-machine/pachinko-like addiction. It just shows how widespread it is. When we're free from one, it is easy to say it is =only= a matter of self control. Like othe

    It's not necessary about speed, it's about how to write code that runs efficiently, concurrently and/or in parallel on that many nodes. IIRC, that's kinda how ethernet came to be, ther were working on the computing world
