I recommend you watch [0] if you haven't seen it yet, it describes the history of javascript, iirc until 2035.

Thanks! There's a video I've been looking for, for years. It's about web technologies and recusion ("I put a VM in side a VM"), and it's satire / comedy.

It might be this one I'm thinking of, as it closely fits the bill. But something is telling me it's not, and that it was published earlier.

Any ideas?


i <3 tridactyl [0] - are there upsides to vimium i'm missing?

edit: added url


Vimium has better smooth scrolling. I really, really want to use Tridactyl, but I just can't stomach their smooth-scrolling implementation.


Ha! I actually switched from Vimium to Tridactyl partly because I prefer the rough, snappy scrolling. It felt much more like the ctrl+d ctrl+u navigation in VIM.


I never started with Vimium (was using an even less known one), also in part because I find smooth scrolling disorienting. Also on Tridactyl now, once someone on here showed me the hintfiltermode, hintchars, and hintnames settings to get the old Vimperator behavior (which I also find so much better than any current defaults):

  set hintfiltermode vimperator-reflow
  set hintchars 1234567890
  set hintnames numeric
Lets you type the words in links, and the hints filter down to only matches. If you go all the way to 1 match it automatically picks it, but as the hints filter down the numeric labels also reset - so there are no gaps betweeen the numbers and it's almost always between 1 and 5 to get the link I want.


Tridactyl is only available for Firefox unfortunately


Probably not, use whatever makes you happy!


hugged to death? "Error establishing a database connection"


The ad was blocked at the storage level, I guess


imagine blender as electron app... ^^


in systems level programming (the introductory course before operating systems in our university) this was one of the first misconceptions to be eradicated. you cannot trust malloc to return null.


my first instinct would be to let the triggerline move with the scrollposition, i.e. at scrollTop = 0 the triggerline is at 0vh and at scrollTop=max at 100vh... am i missing something?


this is the best solution.


dont know whether that works on apple or not - but i just paste into an unformatted textbox (e.g. browser address bar) and copy again from there


that's exactly the thing I'm trying to avoid. since I really don't need windows very often I prefer to change win-vms like underpants (allowing me to deactivate defender/winupdates fearless) and would not like to spend hours for setting up win from scratch. I had to set up win11 for a friend a few days ago and - let me tell you - that experience sucked hard


all the kms activators and the MAS-scripts never worked for evaluation editions

edit: it seems like it at least doesn't work for expired evaluation editions. see https://massgrave.dev/evaluation_editions


Right, but the full versions are as easily downloadable directly from Microsoft.

Then I'm curious: is it possible to know when we know everything there is to know?


The answer is no. There are statements for which knowing if they are decidable is undecidable.


I know that \exists undecidable statements, I just don't know if this specific statement is decidable...


Good question. I don’t know!
