At a talk about the demographic decline in Japan and the speakers are throwing around projections about what things will look like in 2100... It's a weird contrast to listening to podcasts predicting an intelligence explosion/singularity in the next 15 years. www.astralcodexten.com/p/slightly-a...

This coffee shop is just going hard through Evanescence's Fallen (2003) and I am here for it.

No. I envision that if you have untrusted code you run it in a different process from where you store your secrets. In practice most people trust their dependencies and this idea of malicious, un-sandboxed dependencies is fiction.

*shrug* if getting real security is too idealistic, I don't think you're already doomed and no Node API choices can change that.

I don't think it's good to claim things would be more secure if this same-process free for all nature was hidden better. If you want security, use process boundaries.

Remember that any memory in the same process is already accessible to anything else in the process. So indeed this doesn't look like a security issue to me.

This gym has reached the stage in its lifecycle where they realize their original matched set of squat racks is not enough, so they start pulling in mismatched and smaller ones wherever there's free floor space.

Some apps (e.g. Facebook Messenger) will force-reload. This seems good. Even better would be if they force-reloaded themselves in the background, after checking that I had no unsaved state in the DOM.

I have a number of long-running apps in pinned tabs. It's interesting seeing how many of them fail to do an SPA nav (usually with infinite loading spinners), when you come back to them after a few days. I suspect the issue is server-client version skew.
