> worst thing they've shipped since Internet Explorer

IE6 was a really good browser when it shipped in 2001, especially compared to Netscape 6.

The problem was it didn't improve for the next 5 years.


Yes. I'm still maintaining a Django site that I helped get live in 2007. I started learning Django in 2006.

> I want to build a chip fab in Canada. Here's the plan:

> We need to raise ~$350 million to purchase a world-class extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine from ASML. Then, we get the machine installed and can start producing chips for cell phones, laptops, TVs, etc. If you want to join the party, check out the HN thread.

Based on this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46151810


Do you realize that is just one short step in producing chips, even before we get to full devices

How do you intend to do quality control? How do you even plan to design chips? Have you looked into the local regulations for the toxic chemicals you will need to purchase, store, and dispose of? Clean room costs?

The list gets rather long, I worked in a fab 20 years ago

Then, do you think ASML is going to sell you one? Do you know how high in demand and low volume production those machines are? L


I'll happily invest $100 into this project in exchange for stock. let me know.

I think it's also worth comparing to the CO2 impact of consuming meat, especially beef, which is pretty high.

(It's the training, not the inference, that's the biggest energy usage.)


> I also have it document and summarise its own work.

Could you share some of your prompts or CLAUDE.md? I'm still learning what works.


The last time this was brought up, "WebScript" was mentioned as a possible alternative name. (Like WebAssembly, WebSockets, WebRTC, etc.)

I really like "WebScript" but people will shorten it to "ws", which will make me think of the NPM WebSocket package [0] every time I see it!

[0] https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws


WebScript sounds pretty good TBH

WebScript seems like it would really work. Especially if it was introduced at the same time as a major update to the ECMAscript spec

As much as I like the idea, it should really be backwards compatible with the JS acronym so that projects like "node.js" or "react.js" make sense.

Great idea. Much better than "ECMAScript"

My personal favourite is "JayScript".


DoobieScript

I like it. JSON’s father.

I recommend this one

WebScript is fine by me!

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ is less detailed but shows the individual uniqueness of each attribute.

that site has the same issue. It will give ridiculous and easily provably false results for iPhones.

There are ~40 million in the PST time-zone. Some percent have smartphones (80%+), ~50% of those are iPhones (16 million). Of those, the majority are set it English (80%+), and are divided into screen sizes. But basically, if you have an iPhone, you have the same fingerprint has at least a million other other people in the PST time size. You are at best, 1 of 100, not 1 of x,xxx,xxx,xxx.

You might be x,xxx,xxx,xxx of people who visited that unpopular site but no one needs tracking on an unpopular site. On a popular site you will not have a unique finger print.


> prefer the oldest version satisfying the given constraints

The problem is there's no metadata for which versions fix security bugs, and therefore which previous versions are now insecure.


For Python's uv, I think the closest thing to a cooldown is something like:

    uv lock --exclude-newer $(date --iso -d "24 hours ago")
uv is considering a native relative date:
