I read that fine the first time. It’s exactly the behaviour I would expect and would have specced. Splat as an actual operator doesn’t make sense; it’d have to produce some kind of horrible magic value. Engines might be able to improve the

Personal opinion: none of the syntax or results in your blog post were confusing, other than square brackets looking confusingly like curly braces in the font. It’s how splat works in every language I’ve used. “This operation that doesn’t m

Rust software is free of entire classes of bugs by default, by design, and the language lends itself to patterns that eliminate even more.

If you don’t use ungoogled-chromium, you’re presumably not downloading and running community-provided non-reproducible binary blobs of ungoogled-chromium, so you don’t need to learn to compile them from source instead. That’s what the comme

That’s incorrect. Maybe you’re thinking of querySelectorAll, which returns a static list , compared to getElementsByTagName and getElementsByClassName, which return live ones?

`--tls-max-v1.2` does what it sounds like and sets the maximum version to 1.2. You want `--tls-min-v1.2`. (Also, this just controls the default minimum version when code doesn’t specify one explicitly, and the default minimum is already T

Out of that list, the only two bangs that DuckDuckGo doesn’t support are: - !d (it’s already DuckDuckGo, so !d is “dictionary”) - !mj (it’s !mojeek)

Yeah, I would have liked to see different trade-offs made too (especially giving the same treatment to TLS), but I’m satisfied that it’s at least a good direction to start exploring and putting some level of support behind.

When I say that not being complicated to implement is an advantage, I mean I can have much more confidence that whatever implementation I’m using is bug-free and secure (e.g. by auditing the entire thing and its dependencies, something not

I don’t agree that HTML grammar is easy, but either way it’s objectively more complicated than Gemini markup. I also don’t agree that web layout is easy. Dillo, for example, is not the best document-viewing experience (even when I’ve design

A client for HTML and CSS is much more complicated to implement than a client for Gemini and its rich text format. But you can serve HTML pages over Gemini either way.
