This is great! No need to require a button click in between rounds IMO. Just start the timer.

It seems like you know quite a bit of the history here. Were you involved in some way? If so, I'm curious to know why you think NaCL did not achieve broad adoption? And what's stop…

There's a big gap between WASM has issues/limitations, and WASM "might as well not exist." NaCL was also Chrome-only IIRC, whereas WASM is a successful web standard (no small feat)…

> Just because you can do something well doesn't mean it's worth doing. I'm not sure if there's more context to this quote, but on the surface: what a dismal take! Letting some mea…

Vibes was perhaps a poor choice of words. Work with me here people, what else do you call the unspoken part of conversation.

Incoming wall of text, because this is topic that hits close to home for me, and I've spent a lot of time in the last few years exploring it. So, knowing absolutely nothing about y…

I respectfully submit that your neat categorization of interactions into those three profiles may reflect a gap in your understanding of others. Namely, that your definition of wha…

Author here. This is an exposition on my journey trying to figure out if and/or how PDFs can have simple interactivity added in a portable way. The answer (spoiler) is ...sort of. …

Someone at Adobe must've left a server running in a closet and then forgotten about it. Make sure you visit the HTTP (no S) version.

> the clean modeled structure we want to see is for humans to maintain and extend, but the AI doesn't need this. This does not match my experience. I do a lot of AI-assisted coding…

Requests to an R2 bucket are taking ~minutes to resolve and I can't seem to connect to dash.cloudflare.com. The status page doesn't report any issues though.

I love these optimization tales. Memory throughput bottlenecks (extremely common, perhaps moreso than they seem) are my favorite to tackle - there are frequently some juicy optimiz…

Like pretty much everything else about human beings, I expect most of us exist at a point on a spectrum rather than belonging to this type or not. I think the engineering mindset c…

Well, IMO there's not much reason for an LLM to be trained to produce machine language, nor a functional binary blob appearing fully-formed from its head. If you take your question…

Some random thoughts, since I've had a similar train of thought for a while now. On one hand I also lament the amount of hardware-potential wastage that occurs with deep stacks of …

It's been a decade+ since I used to catch the Green line at Park St, but at that time it was the noisiest, squealiest station that I regularly used. Not surprising to learn that pa…

IMHO there's no gatekeeper of what the "real" web is or should be. It grew organically - regular people building things they liked or needed. It's certainly more of a life necessit…

I've got a pretty large flutter app in production, using just the flutter-provided building blocks like ValueNotifier, ListenableBuilder, InheritedWidget, etc. It has scaled quite …

I still haven't found a way to coax MathML into looking the way I want it... Even using the same fonts (like Computer Modern or its descendants) there's still something not quite t…

Been a happy customer of Fastmail for ~10 years now. Nice web and mobile interfaces. I've never been impacted by downtime in that time (to my knowledge).

Ah, ok - thank you for elaborating on that. I don't actually have that type of interactivity at the moment, though you're right in saying all the information is there in order to m…
