web0?
With all the hype (or bullshit) about “web3”, it’s good to see a counter movement as well. Whether this site is really “web0” or just pre-“Web 2++” (my term for websites overloaded with frameworks, JavaScript and CSS) remains to be debated… ⌘ Read more

** Olophont.js **
In Lord of the Rings there are creatures that look like giant elephants. JRR Tolkien named these creatures“olophonts…” simply replacing every vowel in the word elephant with an o. Here is a javascript function to do the same thing.

http benchmarking 工具”go-wrk”支持 javascript 脚本了
wrk 是一个比较出名的 http benchmarking 工具，它支持用 Lua 脚本编写任务。

go-wrk 是原作者在早年开发的仿 wrk 的工具，但不支持脚本。没有脚本的话在测试稍复杂的业务时就力不从心。

现在我给加上了 JavaScript 的支持，用的 js 引擎是 Goja. 欢迎大家体验测试提 issue, 有时间的话我会继续改进。详见: [ … ⌘ Read more

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.

A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.

With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.

JavaScript : web apps

I understand the hate for JavaScript. But what option is there for writing web enabled applications for desktop / mobile?

Python : small tools

Okay 👌

Go: micro services

Umm bad generalization 🤣 – Example yarnd that powers most of Yarn.social 😂

Java: enterprise software

Yes! Oh gawd yes! 🤣 And Java™ needs to die a swift death!

C: crimes

Hmmm? 🤔 I feel this one is going to have some backslash and/or go the way of “Hacker” being misconstrued to mean entirely different/incorrect things as is what’s happening in the media (for various definitions of “media”).

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com A delay is fine. Just, sometimes I’ll do something else, and look back at my feed a few hours later and forget that I haven’t refreshed the feed. And I totally support making sure the experience continues to be first-class for folks opting out of Javascript.

Honestly never realized before Beakerbrowser that peer-to-peer could be used to share markdown, JavaScript and html files.

Imagine the world when we have old, gray-bearded Millenials managing old legacy JavaScript-based systems. They shall sing “Den-o! The last dinosaur…” when griping about them. Their younger co-workers will not understand.

If your website is not static, it is not a website: it is an application, & should be distributed as an executable. If your website contains javascript, it is not a website: it is an application & should be distributed as an executable.

If it doesn’t work properly with javascript turned off, it’s not really a website. If it doesn’t work properly with css turned off, it’s not really a website. If it doesn’t work properly in a text-only environment, it’s not really a website.

Javascript is a just-OK language saddled with the world’s worst graphics toolkit: three distinct languages, each with specs so large that nobody has written a new implementation in 20 years, for live-editing a rich tech document to make it resemble a canvas, in ways that are not portable between the 3 implementations or minor revisions of the same implementation.

The easiest path to GDPR compliance: switch to a completely static website with no javascript, CGI, or CSS, and rotate the logs daily.

Decode It Like It’s 1999
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript. Now, I finally found the time to clean up the library, improve its performance, make it more error resilient and modular and add an MP2 Audio decoder and MPEG-TS demuxer. This makes this library not just an MPEG decoder, but a full video player.

In this blog post I want to talk a bit about the challenges and various interesting
bits I discovered during the development of this library. You’ll … ⌘ Read more
