I think you’ll probably be fine with node too. Different people gel with different languages for all sorts of different reasons. I had done c++, java, bash, python, but it wasn’t until javascript, and specifically NodeJS that I really start

This sort of thing is the exact reason why I have been staying away from Docker for my projects. Having one company be totally in control of runtime environments just isn’t robust. There are just too many scenarios where some issue they fac

You might also want to consider whether the people that have habitual contact with that accident prone person, should in fact be allowed to have contact with that person.

What does that mean in practice though? Since it’s not a browser plug-in, I assume the download is an actual fully fledged browser. Perhaps I’m missing something obvious. What rendering engine did they choose? Or is it possible to switch be

This sounds pretty cool. A lot of the hardware ideas I have only really need a simple NodeJS runtime running. Lots of clear security benefits to this approach. I had a look on their website and did some Googling but didn’t find anything abo

I think it looks futuristic and pretty cool, sure it’s a utility vehicle, but it would look totally fine in a movie set in 2041, maybe I am weird.

It might have been something like that. I remember there being a phone number@something, but I’m not sure if the something was flickr, blogger or something the phone company provided, or perhaps I found some 3rd party mms to rss gateway. Ca

When I first started blogging around 2004, pingbacks were very popular. I remember setting up my blog so I could take a photo on my Motorola Razr, email it to a special address and it would get added to Flickr and then auto posted to my blo

I feel like in these conversations about crypto that people use the following terms somewhat interchangeably: - Coin - Token - NFT - Transaction - Smart contract Is there some place with a concise definition of each of these terms?

You make some valid points, but “good ideas written by someone who should not communicate with humans” - a bit harsh don’t you think?

I’m definitely down with laptops that have parts that are fully replaceable. It’s not something you really think about until it’s too late, and as such can really land you in some serious issues depending on where you are located in the wor

Oh yeah I hadn’t considered the need for a review & approve step. That’s pretty important. So actually implementing web mentions is kind of non-trivial.

Generally speaking it is very surprising for a merchant of any product to require that you not use a competing product in order to use their product.

I like the idea of aggregating mentions from around the web on my personal static site. Ideally I would want to always have the most recent data, and not expose my site in a way that could be hacked. These are the implementations that come

Of course! A REPL style interface hadn’t occurred to me. That totally makes sense. I recognise the names of all the machines you mentioned from the Steven Levy Hackers book. I suppose it must have been much slower progress with no internet

I always thought Foo fighters were pretty great. I listened to them a lot in the 90s. I looked up their best hits a few years ago, and I was shocked by how many incredible songs they have. They headlined Glasto a few years ago. It’s an amaz

Smashing Pumpkins were the best in the early nineties. Gish and especially Siamese Dream are great albums. I saw them at some festivals around then. Amazing. I still get chills when I hear the guitar intro on some of the tracks from those a

They were one of the bands that opened me up to electronic music. I was into metal and grunge, but electronic music just didn’t seem like music to me. If there weren’t music instruments I didn’t want to listen to it. I saw them at a festiva
