I was just thinking catapult taken pieces off the board with a reversed strong magnetic jolt, so they just shoot off like a rocket.

Aw, I thought it was for managing a bar. Supplies, shifts, etc..

Isn't this really what netcat is for? I've used telnet like this before I was really aware of netcat.. I even knew how to login to and use an irc server with telnet, PING/PONG included

Maybe re-formulate the problem from different perspectives, find the intention behind the problem, go "one step up". Find the space where "the problem" is only one of many ways to solve the intention. Doesn't always work, but sometimes.

feels like 2003 again

I've really been having fun with go compiled to wasm for the browser. Ebiten is a nice engine for pixel graphics/game stuff, but there are also more traditional canvas libraries.

One thing I've noticed that is sometimes forgotten, especially at earlier stages is monitoring. You want to know how much self healing is actually happening. Let's say you have your self-healing system in place, say some k8s pods combined in a service with a little redundancy and very little state. Pods happily crash, another one takes over while a new one spins up. All is wonderful and you don't worry about your availability anymore because everything just always works. One day you decide to look into whats happening in your containers and are shocked because one pod crashes every 0.3 seconds. It just spins up, answers 1 request but then dies and a new one spins up...continuously. From the outside everything looks kind of ok but in reality you are wasting massive resources and have a nasty bug that might be losing you even data, consistency, creating load, etc... Some sort of monitoring is a good idea is what I'm saying.

and so it begins...

One of the very few things giving me joy lately: People being afraid of AI, feeling threatened and insecure in their capabilities, because maybe those aren't so great after all...

Have you ever had a seemingly brilliant idea to only later found out somebody else had it too and that actually analyzing the idea turns out it was a combination of existing ideas?

I would say, that a part of our human intelligence is not much more than doing exactly that, learning patterns in different languages. English, emotions, experiences are all interfaces between the world and the self (whatever that is).

When you learn to speak, at first you reproduce simple sounds, you add more sounds to this, more patterns. These patterns and "meta-patterns" are what intelligence is, in my opinion. The creepy part is just that they usually don't appear as patterns and pattern manipulation to us, but rather in a form that is useful to "us" in a way to interact with "the world". "The world", what that means to the individual is also just a useful representation that is accumulated in a similar manner. But what is this "self"? Does it exist at all? Is it the mere accumulating of meta-patterns? With a pair of eyes connected to it and some other useful appendages?

I think they point here is, they make it obvious that they don't want to support JS,CSS, etc... The support for other protocols is the same thing - neither a finger page, nor a gophermap need css or JS.. So if you want to use it with the part of the web that requires those, this is not for you. It's a tool for those who use a different part of the web. Those who only need a TV and not a circus. One might see a commentary about the state of the web in the project, but not necessarily - it's just a tool for those who have a need for it, e.g to browse the intranet for a research institute.. if this browser is all you need for that you greatly reduce the attack vectors on your institute among other benefits.
