Knowing what we know, we would probably have stepped out of our time machine to make sure that Brendan Eich kept the Scheme-based syntax and added semantic HTML enrichment for styling, sparing untold grief over the last generation...

Is it Turing-complete yet? Seems close, but I've lost track.

That was... kind of expected. But the web of cross-interests in the content industry just got another trans-dimensional knot in its topology...

I’m really happy I padded out one of my home servers with 128GB of DDR4 a couple of years back. I am, however, quite sad that I missed the opportunity to do the same to a newer one…

I spent a while looking at trading algos a few years back (partly because of quant stuff I got involved in, and partly out of curiosity). I found that none of the “slow” trading (i.e., that you could run at home alongside your day trading a

I removed comments not due to anxiety but to the drudgery of having to deal with ever more creative ways of spamming.

I don’t relate to this that much. Of course the AI crawlers have come in hard, but at least https://taoofmac.com still gets a very large amount of human visitors (either organicallly or return visits, plus RSS). I think the real

As someone who’s been writing online for almost three decades, I don’t think blogs ever went away—they just became a smaller percentage of the overall Internet.

What kind of return were you expecting? Exposure? Ad revenue? VIsibility? Those are not good reasons to maintain a blog… not today anyway.

Yeah, that’s mostly the direction I’ve taken taoofmac.com to. I do it for fun, extremely odd dives into weird tech, and essentially public notes on my consulting stuff.

I would counter your three assertions with a few thoughts: - there are now literally thousands of ways to host personal websites, even if we’re not in the LiveJournal age anymore - there are also several services out there to host comments

Doesn’t really work with Apple’s own stuff. At least I never got it to work.

Doesn’t work for signing in to web sites or apps.

I’m on this bandwagon. Have my own keyboard (literally just finished soldering and 3D printing one) and still have to have the Apple keyboard cluttering my desk for biometrics). Have been thinking about this for a while, but it feels incred

Neat. I just started using bun as my default "batteries included" JavaScript engine, so it's nice they're getting this boost.

This is pretty awesome, regardless when it was originally done.

PSA: Claude can also use .github/copilot-instructions.md If you're using VSCode, that is automatically added to context (and I think in Zed that happens as well, although I can't verify right now).

I must confess I clicked through hoping to see a comic of Garfield the cat using pizza slices to approximate right triangles.

Ironically, most people I know are now using alternative YouTube front-ends not for the ad blocking, but just for tracking their subscriptions in a proper list and skipping the junk in the home page.

For the time, it was OK. Audiences needed the time to digest some of it.

I have a site generator that won’t run on workers. Can I just use a storage bucket in Pages and be sure it will survive that migration?

Pretty accurate. I just submitted a link to Dropbox, and the first comment read “isn’t this just SFTP with a pretty UI on top?” https://news.ysimulator.run/item/2045 I suppose this proves we’re all living in a simulati
