Lockdown project during early COVID, I tried to be as close as possible to the original windows 98 functionality.


nice! serious nostalgia on your site. is the IE icon on the bottom supposed to also openn to your blog?

Does not appear to work under Firefox, getting a bunch of CORS-related errors (header ‘user-agent’ is not allowed according to header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Headers’ from CORS preflight response) on the /graphql endpoint.


In addition to the other responses, it's also worth noting that wasm itself is useful outside of the web itself; e.g. in containerized applications.


Yes, that's an http connection to the Docker Engine api on localhost failing due to the same issue—the docker engine cam't negotiate with the Docker Hub to get the new image and is passing the error back through the local api to your updater process.


There's native ad blocking on iOS and has been for a while—I've found that to significantly enhance the usability of the device. I use Wipr[0], other options are available.

I use Wipr on my phone, the experience is a lot worse than ublock origin on desktop...


The DC Metro system operates similarly.


Not OP, but common solutions in this space represent the state as conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs). Some popular browser-based libraries for that are Y.js[0] and Automerge[1].

By the way, for those wanting to do this but in Rust, there is https://crates.io/crates/yrs and https://crates.io/crates/automerge


And Loro [1], relatively new player which recently hit 1.0, with solid performance and some features the others don’t have

Amazing, thanks for the link

What features does Loro have that others lack?


I remember reading the excellent Beej's Guide to Network Programming[0] and Beej's Guide to Unix IPC[1] as a teenager, which were incredibly approachable while still having depth—fantastic reads both and very influential on the programmer I ended up being.

mispasted, thanks!


Same here! I was also a teenager in the mid-90s. And I was amazed by IRCd server code and bots. I bought a used copy of the book Slackware Linux unleashed w/CD-ROM and it had some networking code examples in C. I found Beej's Networking site because I was confused by a lot of that networking code. Became even more obsessed and went a deep rabbit hole. I spent a lot of time visiting different book stores hoping they had programming books. Bought Richard Stevens' amazing reference books and never looked back. Thanks for enabling my passion all these years later Beej!


I remember translating Beej's network guide to Italian while learning how to use select, which I wanted to learn to make some port scanner ("grabb' I think?) go faster. Fun times.


Came here to see if it was the same person, though I felt very sure with the throwback web design - back when each page had its character, and you had to save the page for offline reading so that Dad wasn't pissed at the phone bill! And when the code worked - it was validation against all the previous failures (and rejections) in life! Oh the joy of sending message from one computer to the other!

Thank you Beej.


+1, I have almost exactly the same story!

(I didn't read the IPC guide.)


Indeed, my first steps in network programming years ago were with the help of this excellent guide.


I had no idea about IPC! I better go read it!



Not exactly. Apple released 2 press releases today, the article you link to is about the laptops, this discussion is about the CPUs.


The HN dupe algebra goes by something like 'is the discussion going to be more or less the same'.


Same here, except that I gather all the bibliography entries into a Zotero collection organized by paper and only export that to the latex workspace rather than using JabRef. Works a treat and keeps the size of the .bib file small.


If Zotero, or more appropriately better-bibtex, had a 'make collection from .aux file' option, than that would be fantastic. For some documents there can be such a number of references that doing this manually would be a chore. But having that collection in zotero would be useful by itself as a resource. Maybe I'll head over and make that suggestion...


How do you do the collection per paper? Is that manual or automatable?


For me, that's manual—I make sure everything I've cited is in the .bib file, and move papers into another collection if they end up not being relevant for a particular paper.

This is probably an automatable task, but it's generally not too much of a burden to do manually. I add a 'needs-review' tag to papers I've identified in a literature review, and categorize it when I get around to reading it.
