What "democratized computing" was cheaper computing and VisiCalc, not WIMP and GUI? But again, VisiCalc is intentionally limited, it's not a all-powerful environment, on purpose. I…

Almost all web chatbot providers have code sandboxes that they will run (limited) tooling for you. If you ask for it , it will run deterministic linters, formatters, format convert…

Won't the answer (even for a pretty basic message like "hi") at SSD speeds take like a _entire week_ to _start showing useful output?_ (attempting to do 22k average claude code sys…

The funny thing is that JSON parsing is usually kinda unsafe in it's main target language JavaScript, and usually safe in other languages, because of the `__proto__` prototype poll…

I believe the main usecases for this is not requiring changing code, not requiring adding a reverse proxy in front of code I can't change, and "OSI"ish protocols (as in, not really…

If your files and folders are rw even in a encrypted form, you're still vulnerable to ramsomware if you don't have some sort of immutable ro backups.
