Terry A. Davis was the soul of programming. You must be a deranged schizo to do eveything he did. The Platonic ideal of a programmer

i just thought he died of age but damn i googled and his end was even sadder

homeless and hit by a train
sad end.

He probably had lucid moments and saw no way to escape his illness. It's also sad how dumbasses trolled him online and contributed to his illness worsening, he had a cult following but some people just saw him as a lolcow. Dude had so much potential. Making TempleOS by himself is already an incredible feat, but without the schizophrenia he could've been much bigger.

Ok nvm, I just noticed it in the bottom

Just hit your g spot, Barb.

>How exactly does one to say build a flashlight that can radiate light so dense in heat that any type of contact with that light energy will cause immediate fires or fires within less than a second if not objects that melt?
use a high power laser. remember to use safety squints!

Anything that powerful will cause instant and permanent vision damage.

But doesnt hydrocarbons when burned into a gas naturally diffuse heat(energy) until it returns into its base temperature resulting in it becoming a fluid again? In this context fuel is ignited turning into hydro carbonic gas before releasing its heat into the water turning it into water vapour. That released heat allows the fuel to turn back into liquid with reduced mass

>>10601
no. burning stuff results in a chemical change, not just a phase change
you can turn CO2 + H2O back into hydrocarbons, but it requires an entirely different process. specifically, it requires a reducing environment. if you run CO2 + H2O over hot coals in an oxygen free environment you'll generate syngas which in turn can be turned into hydrocarbons

>>10601
>>10602
CO2 + H2O + 2C + energy -> 3CO + H2 (syngas)
this process requires coal and is endothermic
then apply https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer%E2%80%93Tropsch_process which mostly requires steam and is exothermic
I'm not sure whether the combined process is endothermic or exothermic. probably endothermic because the coals have to be red hot

>>10602
What about oxygen free fuel tanks where the petrol has nothing to combust with then what?

>>10604
uh.. you typically don't have fire in your fuel tank

Added: I do not need passwords or personal data, but I do need detailed events, such as knowledge of from which page user navigated to current one.

the only legitimate use of javascript i know of is twine games. (i.e. empowering the technically unskilled) so far as i am concerned, everything else should be outlawed. if you can parse CSS with your eyes, you don't need to suck up memory with your shit javascript tracking. do the website properly.
(there is no empirical data to back it up, but i guarantee that in aggregate people who make twine games probably make better websites than people who don't. purely because they fall into the kind of demographic that makes a cute neocities full of glitter rather than being a professional web designer who manages to make a site that serves 500 words waste 15 megabytes.)

i could develop on this and a general distaste for bloat and so on, but really my position isn't so much a technical one as a social one: i say knock down a core pillar of the web as it stands today and just see what happens because the consequences couldn't possibly be worse than what we have now. this is of course a fantasy: you cannot send an army to destroy javascript. i have to confess this to myself, rather than proposing this or that protocol. all that can be achieved is screaming at the wind about how much i hate the modern web and then tithing my conscience by leaving positive feedback on obscure, marginally interactive short stories.

yeah, I believe you can be fingerprinted for your browser extensions so all TB users should have the exact same setup, the defaults. I think this would also apply to the security slider settings and so I wish the default option was 'safer.' Web just too unusable to default to 'safest.'

>the problem with bespoke protocols like gemini is that they're less accessible than HTML since everyones already got an HTML browser, second of all gemini doesn't support forms AFAIK so no post operations which means no chat rooms, forums, social media, hell, not even images.
That's sounds like a dream

JS is needed for a lot things. Most things are insanely bloated.

Eg nitter vs twitter
Reddit vs teddit

Bloated shit these companies shit out many times works much worse and adds no value.

Server side rendering is meh. I don't like it. I realize it's the only way to accomplish certain things without JS, but still.

Low Tech Magazine is great, even if some of their suggestions, like the Dutch dredging their canals by hand, are a bit too heavy on the primitivism

I found out that if you pour water on dirt it becomes easier to shovel

>>10541
Kek you forgot to include the part where it breaks after a year of use

Shovels are the perfect tool to keep in your car. The best shovels are Spetsnaz shovels that can be used as an offensive tool against road rage attackers, as well as a tool to help you when your car is bogged down. Unlike a gun, you can keep a Spetsnaz shovel next to you when driving and the police will not bother you anywhere.

I use OpenStreetMap but I don't drive so idk

>>10475
How do you use it then? OSM doesn't tell you how to use transit.

>What's your take on this?
He's a Chinese dude who hates the Chinese government, they don't want him deported back to China. They probably helped him to get a gig outside of China to get rid of him in the first place. The copyright trolls are crazy if they think they can commandeer the resources of the Chinese authorities to do their bidding, especially when he doesn't seem to have violated any laws.

Yet again, porky enforcing copyright on behalf of artfags.
Reminder that artfags (and other cuckmanities sorts) are the greediest rent-seekers to ever exist.

>Otherwise, I will have to transfer information about you to lawyers who will cooperate with github.com and Chinese government to physically find you and stop the illegal use of licensed content.

Believe me, faggot. My dad works at China.

>It is entirely reasonable to find the idea that some rando from 4chan actually went to some guy's house, brandishing an allegedly illegal weapon, with the intention of causing physical harm to somebody – regardless of the potential legal consequences – over a fork of an audio editing program. The premise is mind-bogglingly stupid on its face and clearly the product of a deranged, overactive imagination.
why are they talking about sneed
