I'm a Swedish Javascript dev moving to Tokyo tomorrow (!!!). If anyone around is interested in coding together, let me know :).

Dear Gwern, I very much appreciate everything you write. Your blog is in my top 3 quality blogs, nay, if not top 1!

But the posts are long. It's not something I say proudly, but often I read the first 3 pages but then lose focus and willpower. Maybe it's because English is my second language, maybe it's because there's so much to do in a day.

Not saying dumb-down. But if say 15% of readings end like they sometimes do for me, that's a big loss. Both for your reach and for the readers, who like me fail to get all the good stuff in there.

So as a fan giving feedback: a bit terser would not be wrong. I'm trying, and I'm using programs that let me 'save' my progress in a long text and get back after a coffee, but it's sometimes hard.

(Ironically, this is a big-ass 4 paragraph comment, haha)

That's one of the main reason for using web apps. I can trust them totally, because they're so sandboxed! They can't even read or write to filesystems!

If I was her I would want to be called the female name, and you should always be a nice person and treat others like you would want to be treated, I for one would think.

A guide from mozilla on how to close the web. Great :)

What do we who are closer to tech than the average person see in the same light now that people in our role saw the web in the early 90's?

My 5c goes to Bitmessage, the web (still. Biggest distributed computing platform ever), Bitcoin, drones and 3D-printers. Preferably them all combined.

It's not like technical revolutions are uncommon anymore.

JS compiles at runtime (or JIT), C++ compiles at build time. What's the big difference? Real hackers code nothing but ASM.
