While we've started with outbound fetch/HTTP, we certainly plan on adding additional functionality over time.

Hi there! I'm one of Osgood's authors.

To clarify a few things:

1. Any tool that reduces the privileges of your application code, such as Osgood or Deno, is doing so because application code cannot necessarily be trusted, since you're pulling in external dependencies that can have vulnerabilities or malicious code, and even one's own code may have unknown vulnerabilities that may cause unexpected IO behaviour to happen.

2. The policies you can set with Osgood are defined in a JavaScript file that is run separately from your application code (i.e. the worker files), and it only runs once to build up the policy data structures in native code. This V8 Isolate is then discarded. This means that application code cannot modify its own policies.

I hate to nitpick but this is definitely a North American Dialect Map, rather than just an American Dialect Map.

Thanks! I hadn't seen share.js before. I'll have to look into it.

In my case, I was denied entry due to a paperwork error in Toronto and so had to stay at a hotel to catch a flight the next day. It would have been nice had everything been arranged and applied for ahead of time.

Hmm, I don't want to be spammy, but this could be a good idea. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Just an ebook to start. If there's enough interest, I'll see about doing a print edition.
