toxicFork··on All About E: A Language That Infiltrated JavaScript
I guess we would not need to compile it down to js and instead evaluate or jit it directly?

toxicFork··on Dear JetBrains, Don't mess with your UI
I have optimised my workflow, I am still productive, but the second monitor still brings me joys that nothing else can.
toxicFork··on Dear JetBrains, Don't mess with your UI
Tangent: I am traveling at the moment and I miss my second monitor a lot.

It's like saying you don't need toilets when you can dig a hole in the ground and use leaves to wipe instead of toilet paper.

Maybe a naive question: how about cdns like cloudflare? Too costly?

Edit: and also P2P style caching? I would expect a big number of users can act as relays?

And, IPFS, why not.

toxicFork··on We built voice modulation to mask gender in technical interviews (2016)
That sounds like the opposite of click bait. Not revealing something that would make people have aversion. I don't know if it has a name.

This can be generalized to any passionate interest community. Like body builders. Young men will be toxic. You just see gamers more because they spend more time on the internet by default.

Why game community?

It's more like all of the world enjoy games, including these sociopaths.

You are chasing a red herring.

toxicFork··on An odd discovery on Spotify
> it gives the consumer more choices

How? If a choice of "this restaurant" or "that restaurant" both take you to "this restaurant", is that really a choice?
