That's OK because I assume that's the case for all movies "based on a true story". Take any biopic you want, it's mostly a bunch of mythology sprinkled with meme references about the person, if any. Say this was esp

I write all my tests by first extracting aspects of the compared items to values that are then compared structurally. Nothing else makes sense.

Needing oxygen to survive isn't really the level we need to be thinking at. Actual life at the bottom of our oceans also doesn't need oxygen to survive. Nor will self-replicating robots, which we're close to implementing and

I've refreshed myself on web components, templates and shadow DOM, and I understand how each of them works, but I only see immediate benefits from templates. The rest seems a bit like abstraction for abstraction's sake and syntax

Not all tracking is user-specific, but you do raise an interesting point, how to (thinking as a site owner) remove personal info from the URL, but still pass that info around locally. Cookies is one way (if we stick to the domain), possibly

Thoughts in my head: - Go was designed with simple compiler, because the purpose of it wasn't best performance at all costs, but simple code and fast compilation. - Instead we watch as people try to second-guess their processor and alt

This is one of those things that either few use and it works, or if many start using it, the tracking will just get obfuscated. I already see many sites use something like ?arg={BASE64 STRING OF ALL THE THINGS} and no automatic tool can dec

We evolve by trying to be better at what is needed of us to adapt. So yes, it's literally wired in as some sort of survival instinct. And technically, if we keep struggling at it, over time (generations) we'll get better at it.

The reason why we want ids to be purely random is so we don't have to do the work of coordinating distributed id generation. But if you don't mind coordinating, then none of this matters. Surely if it was a great chore for YouTube

It's a URL-friendly form of base64. 11 chars encode 66 bits, but actually 2 bits are likely not used and it's simply an int64 encoded to base64. Given everyone and their grandma is pushing 128-bit UUID for distributed entity PK, i

Point is slowing down a bit, allows us to see what's happening, so we can make course corrections, and crash less. That's an understandable tradeoff for car driving. It's an understandable tradeoff for Facebook debugging. Erg

I wonder sometimes, what if we focus on producing native JS VM hardware, would it perform same as or better than WASM? Let's run everything on JS.
