The collective hate and killing of flash by the tech community was a terrible thing and has made the internet so much less fun.

5 years ago, everyone was arguing about how flash was the most insecure piece of garbage and caused all the security problems

fastforward to today and the same problems pretty much exist, but flash is fairly rare.

(media) idea:

Two neighbouring rulers declare war on each other, but just as they are about to send their armies into their first major skirmish they see one another for the first time and it's love at first sight. Their power struggle then becomes a power snuggle.

I don't know what a power snuggle is, but suggestions are welcome. I just needed that phrase out of my head after having it for a week or so.

*tries to load a rabbit thing*
rabbit: *loading screen forever*

hot take: flash was actually good for content creation and killing it off has made the internet like 80% less fun

programming is fine, you nerds. it's implicitly nullable types that aren't fine. i've been saying this for years

that's what I've been saying this entire time hjskhdajshgasd

nomic: online edition 

like, I want a bit which allows you to browse the rules and connections between them easily - but people can change the rules about how rules work, so either I have to ignore that or I have to account for all possible rule changes?

nomic: online edition 

I wanna make an online place to play nomic, but it's either just

a chatroom + some virtual play space

or

something that makes the mechanics smoother, but potentially just doesn't work because you can change the rules

where's my C with ADTs, higher order functions, and no null

programming 

every few months I'm like

"I should make C, but better"

and so I start designing a simple language, and slowly I'm like "ooo I think I should have this, that would make it easier" and I add on more and more things

and then I realise that it's basically rust and I'd have to write a hugely complicated compiler for it and no-one would ever use it

free love means to love without expecting anything in return

maybe you're thinking of shareware love

hot take on input methods (with sources! that I can't find right now because my brain is out of brainergy) 

mice are difficult to learn and difficult to use, especially for people with injuries or disabilities

this is a major reason why smartphones and tablets have gotten very popular - touch input is much, much less taxing
