  • If you told me five years ago that the country I most admire in the world would be Yemen, I wouldn't have believed you and probably wouldn't have been able to find it on a map. One of a few bright spots in a bleak world.

  • Javascript has its warts and quirks, but it's fine. I hated it until Typescript came along. That way you can at least get some sanity checks and keep the language generally in the rails of normalcy.

    Like it or not, the browser basically only knows how to run javascript, and using another language to compile wasm is almost certainly going to be more headache than whatever gain you might get.

    However, what you seem to dislike is the UX of modern web apps which is barely related to any of that.

  • I've heard a statistic that goes something like: If you were to just not exist, you would only save about 1 second worth of emissions globally. Whatever individual action you do to reduce emissions from your lifestyle only go so far.

    And like others have mentioned, there are the other, less legal forms of direct action.

  • Alright, if they're having a romp in the afterlife in some capacity, they aren't ghosts. There's a kind of underlying implication they're sticking around for some worldly purpose or reason. Often this is used for metaphor about moving on in your life (or rather afterlife).

  • At least in windows, the hosts file can point from any domain to any IP. In theory you can do things like point advertising domains to 127.0.0.1 if you wanted to make sure web requests never made it off your local machine. I did this a lot back in the day to test websites running locally but pointed to a friendlier name than localhost:randomport
