That's quite explicit in the last section of the article, ending with `Greenland’s communication systems must stay under Greenlandic control.`


why do you think the js interpreter is that special compared to all the rest? AFAIU, CSS is a much more complex beast, as the spec has not been written to reflect the way it could be implemented


Writing JS JITs is a specialized skill that requires a deep knowledge of compilers, JavaScript, and CPU architectures.

CSS is complicated but it's not as complex. It's just a matter of throwing enough sufficiently competent developers at the problem.

Ladybird doesn't even have a JIT right now. They used to, but it got taken out because as best as I can tell, nobody on the project knows how to write one.


and ping as well (learnt that from the mastodon thread)!


Ping was originally named after sonar pings. Then later some guy came up with a weird acronym for a thing he did not invent. We don’t have to acknowledge it as a legitimate acronym. And as far as I can tell, the backronym is not a part of ping man pages, unlike with dig


Never knew that although it seems like the acronym was contrived after the obvious "ping" (as in sonar) was coined.


If you manage to keep the same ecological impact while increasing in population, you're doing something right !


the trick is to not try to be a part of it, but only use it when looking for a job.

Sometimes the recruiters leads are worth it to me, but this must be very variable between users depending on profile, location,…


And do what in that scenario? Do you cold-chat (like cold call I guess) people?


Yes. It's professional, not personal, it is in no way weird or creepy to just say "hey interesting background, any interest in getting coffee with me?" just like you would with a new colleague at work. But it's pretty much everyone you can meet that way, not just people at your own company.


Have you come across a playbook for doing it the right way?


Here's a playbook:

- Find someone you're interested in connecting with. (Maybe you want to work where they work or where they used to work, maybe they live in your town and work on similar stuff, maybe they just seem to know a lot about something you're curious about.)

- Maybe get an intro from a person you both know. (This definitely increases the odds they'll respond to you.)

- Much lower friction than getting an intro and a nice feature of LinkedIn: You can both see people you both know. Reaching out to those "2nd" order connections increases the odds that they'll respond.

- Then I think the playbook for what to write is just "be yourself and sound like an actual person rather than a spam bot".

- Then don't be upset if you don't get a response, especially from people who probably get tons of messages.

There is also a step 0 that is an ongoing effort, which is to have a background and expertise yourself that is interesting to the person you're reaching out to. I love it when I get messages from people I might have messaged myself if I had come across them first.


Sounds like you had a workflow that you felt and still feel good about, why did you stop doing it?


Moved to a project that was incompatible with the IDE I was using. The new IDE lacked solid support for ad hoc named templates and provided no suitable tools for monitoring grep patterns.

This added so much friction I stopped doing this.


Well, there's been a spreadsheet app for a while :^)

Just need a MacWrite-grade app that can export to PDF and SerenityOffice can be sold in a nice big box with a pile of floppies.


Not saying that mentioning it that way is relevant here, but I'd wager that being good looking is an asset for a lawyer in court.


Great tool thanks! I'll try to catch the livestream !

One thing that would be great to smoothen my use-case is a better resize support. I generally have a bunch of terminals on a screen, and switch to full screen when needed. Currently, the drawing region does not update.


Have you seen The Architecture of Open Source Applications book [1] ? There is a chapter on Eclipse and its plugin system in it [2]. Lots of other interesting content not really related to text editing however.
