What does resetting inconsistent browser behavior have to do with classless styling? Those two aren't the same.

Read the website.

Please no AI slop. I don't want another app that spams my server megabytes per second because my proxy failed and the programmer didn't acknowledge the server can ever go down (talking about Immich - their retry mechanism used to be a while true loop with no back off nor retry limit) or the app resets the upload whenever I bring the app to foreground (also talking about Immich).

Unfortunately doesn't support Vulkan decoding/encoding (ffmpeg 8 does).

I wonder if the code was written by AI?

It's another vibe coded slop

> Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs.

I don't see anything business related in that statement.

What's this new level of gaslighting? "It was not because of me, but because of the business situation I was in". Wait... wasn't he in that "business situation" because of actions HE took?

This is good. However, it still sends info about the players ~200ms ahead which still makes you lose.

> memory monitoring would be part of the application monitoring stack

You don't need it if you have everything allocated upfront. TigerBeetle does this, everybody else can.

Using something like Rust is already a huge win when compared to shipping a browser or running Node.js.

> Your argument falls flat when a page file can be multi-GB and automatically grow

This doesn't solve the original issue and only masks the underlying problem.

> this leads to application crashes instead

Same happens if the page file is full. In that case, why don't those programs use disk directly instead?

No such problem would've ever occured if programs hadn't allocated more than they actually use.

> Does this result in programs more frequently erroring/crashing because they can't allocate?

I run Firefox, VSCodium with LSP, Discord, Signal and there's still space left for a game like CS2. I'm not a heavy user by any means.

> I'm not sure they would do much better than crash

I have yet to see a program that silently handles allocation failures and doesn't crash. These days everything is coded to crash if no memory :(

> About once a year a real runaway process (usually a throwaway program I'm working on) gets OOM-killed

In my case it killed system critical processes with no way to recover. With disabled overcommit, it freezes for a while (usually for a minute or two), I close some random program of my choosing and then see in Resource Monitor what's eating my ram.
