This thing is so cool
gatane··on Ask HN: Does anyone else notice YouTube causing 100% CPU usage and stattering?
Hell, I have to use my phone instead if I want to go to any of those pages nowadays. And even my phone now gets a random crash from chrome or the page itself.
gatane··on Ask HN: Does anyone else notice YouTube causing 100% CPU usage and stattering?
Also happens with Github and anything that uses ads lately. A 2 core PC dies while trying to render those pages.

This reminded me of another attempt, but in Minetest:

gatane··on Why is GitHub UI getting slower?
My PC hangs as soon as any "dynamic" javascript button starts to load! I'm glad I was not the only one, finally!

To add on top of this, it is interesting when you link it to ADHD and related conditions. Where do you draw the line between "low" executive function (core adhd symptom) and "normal"?

One may argue that if society were simpler or different than today, many of such cases would not be a problem as it is nowadays, kinda like people wearing glasses: you dont ask if they cant see or if they need help, because they have the proper tools (glasses) and environment (our own perception) that fully accomodate them when needed.

This could also apply to other things, but I am mind-wandering. Maybe somebody could draw more links to stuff like this.

I see it like when you compare digital books vs physical books: physical requires less context in your mind, and it provides direct rather than abstract stimulus to the brain.

When you go digital, your brain is writing the sticky note, but also has in its cache the instructions for the menu, the apps you normally use, that annoying notification, etc, plus your rl context. But on physical, you only have loaded the instructions for the pen and paper (and your rl context).

Having too many things in mind can reduce your executive function battery. Hope this helps! (ofc, this is an oversimplification of ADHD)

gatane··on Plwm – An X11 window manager written in Prolog
Time to do one in Scheme, I guess.
gatane··on Elvish – Scripting language and interactive shell
I just use rc shell from Plan9 (ported to Linux[1]) nowadays, it is more simple than bash and whatever other shell there is out there.

You want functions? For loops? Lists? They got them.

gatane··on Fundamental flaws of SIMD ISAs (2021)
In the end, it doesnt even matter, javascript frameworks are already big enough to slow down your pc.

Unless if said optimization on parsing runs at the very core of JS.

gatane··on Tabular Programming: A New Paradigm for Expressive Computing
Forth mentioned, btw.
gatane··on Designing with Forces (Ryan Singer, 2011 talk) [video]
I found this talk by searching for reviews about the book "Notes on the Synthesis of Form", which gave me this blog [1] talking about the book.

gatane··on Mathematicians uncover the logic behind how people walk in crowds
Those assumptions make you understand the problem, it is the scientific method after all.

If you consider ALL the variables, you would end up with something like the Standard Model Lagrangian, and even that makes some assumptions (explicitly or implicitly) in order to work.

gatane··on I stopped everything and started writing C again
C++ has long compilation times, when you have long code base.
