dwoxctbvgq··on The bloat of edge-case first libraries
Could it be caused by Crater runs?

dwoxctbvgq··on Faulty instructions in C910 RISC-V CPUs
May I ask what circuit simulator game? I've attempted something similar with my very limited and hobby level hardware knowledge in Virtual Circuit Board and I learned that it would take me much longer than a weekend, heh.
dwoxctbvgq··on Apollo dev explains how third-party Reddit apps are affected by API changes
I wonder if third-party apps can transition to parsing the website instead of using the API. I think that's how NewPipe works with YouTube, at least.

Just Monika.
dwoxctbvgq··on FLAC 1.3.4
Right, that's not too far either. I guess the difference is that the abuse of Python doesn't hurt me in my daily life in an obvious way, unlike Javascript.

Precisely :)

By "resources" in this case I was referring to storage space. I could have written my comment more clearly, sorry. I do really like FLAC for saving space, and I hate websites that have 20+ seconds of interaction latency.

Edit: Of course websites being slow has nothing to do with storage space, but it has everything to do with wasting resources – whether that's storage space or CPU cycles.

Besides the other good points people have made, I would just like to add that this is the kind of mentality that I really dislike to see. Just because resources are cheap, do we really need to waste it all? Computers and smartphones are faster than ever, yet there are always websites that I find completely unusable on my phone. And some of these websites I actually need to use because they are required by the government... Looking at you, MitID!

I'm inclined to call this The Javascript Mentality, though I don't mean to insult JS users. JS definitely has its place, it's just very much abused, unfortunately.
