  • Intent to Ship: JPEG XL – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

    Jump

  • Not by default, but it can be enabled with chrome://flags/#enable-jxl-image-format. More on support here.

  • What movies out there have horrible taste and poorly thought-out plots but were excellently executed?

    Jump

  • I actually really like it for the very simple narrative. The natives win against the colonial slavers. Kind of sucks they needed outsiders, but still, it is the rise up and finally beat these assholes story generally only dreamt of in showers.

    Solid listing here. Funny and some killer fight scenes. Roger Workman gets a busted nose, too.

  • What do you think is the craziest rocket/spacecraft concept out there?

    Jump

  • The Epstein Drive, from a fictional book series, The Expanse, but decently grounded in science. It resolves an important shortcoming in current propulsion, which is how to sustain acceleration for an entire voyage. With sustained acceleration, you can both make trips great distances in reasonable time and do so while maintaining normal earth gravity or slightly more to some withstandable extent.

  • What Movie Soundtrack is BETTER than the movie?

    Jump

  • No. I enjoyed it immensely. That’s just how good the soundtrack is; to be even better than that.

  • Beyond Lambdas: Raising the Abstraction Level of Functional Code

    Jump

  • Not making functions unnecessarily is a pretty good rule, but like all rules, it can be ignored for good reasons. Strict adherence to any rule (in programming) is fraught.

  • Naming: if you have to open the body, the name isn't done

    Jump

  • For a narrow enough scope, I don’t see that as clearer than created(u user).

  • Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH

    Jump

  • Naming: if you have to open the body, the name isn't done

    Jump

  • This is a bit reductive. Scope and visibility matter. A private function called by precisely two implementers within the same package doesn’t need to do heavy lifting on naming. It can be short; in fact I’d argue that it should be. Contributors working on the package can scan the code more quickly and will already know what is happening in that scope. Same for variable names.

    On the contrary, publicly consumed functions called across maybe hundreds of scopes should be crystal clear in the name, maybe even largely implying the contract.

    But even those probably have exceptions. So while I agree that names should be thoughtfully considered, one shouldn’t take the “name and parameters should tell all” axiomatically. It’s not so simple.

  • Hang on to your Firefox!

    Jump

  • When I tried floorp a few years back, it never even felt in a working condition. Probably much better now, but the second I tried any of the customizations, things seemed to break and get stuck. Firefox has been solid for me since before it was Firefox.

  • Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH

    Jump

  • I hate that any stance on one’s ethical position is considered political. It isn’t. It’s just ethics. One would hope the FOSS community would see this false “apolitical” narrative for the bullshit it is. Really bums me out when interesting projects get mired in this.

  • Hang on to your Firefox!

    Jump

  • It is different in that it breaks every few releases. Otherwise Firefox is sufficient if vertical tabs is the aim. I used zen for over a year before I just got tired of the constant breaking.

  • Are you staunch in your convictions? If so, do you wish you weren't?

    Jump

  • I was much more so when I was younger, but the older I get, the more I love to be wrong. It is always an opportunity to question my biases and learn. But introspection need not always lead to change. As long as I am willing to reflect honestly, I’m happy.

  • What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?

    Jump

  • Lost Lemming?

  • What's your pro wrestling walk-on song?

    Jump

  • Cbat as I qwop walk.

  • Their insatiable desire for the taste of boots and cock.

  • Haiku

    Jump

  • Does it? Seems like one of many small, old, mostly forgotten systems. Nothing against them. Cool project for fun and tinkering with another kernel, but to whom would it be promising? Or is this just some random bot account that posts random shit?

  • Me too, but my library must not be nearly as impressive.
