I'm building Webkit on Linux to test Service Workers since although it's on in Safari, it's a compiler flag for standard Webkit which mean Midori and Epiphany have it off by default. :(

Finally had some free time to check out Steam's Proton on Linux (Arch + closed-source Nvidia DKMS for a 1080) & the compatibility has been super great & smooth on my system. If one thing holding you back from Linux is gaming, them the ProtonDB -- you might be surprised.

Why is it that that when I want to buy something online I have to switch to a less secure browser because sites require sharing cookies or cross-origin stuff to handle payments? This is exactly when I want my security at its highest.

At risk of sounding overly white girl, I *do* think I have a guilty pleasure for cream cheese milk teas now 😅

Today I learned: the British voice their dental fricative (think the 'th' in the word 'the') in the word "with" whereas Americans say in unvoiced (like the 'th' in 'thank').

So there's two things I dislike about Vietnam:

1 (in my control): I can't communicate with locals as English comprehension is generally weak and, unlike Thailand or Laos, I can't small talk in the local language to connect with people.

2 (not in my control): The prevalence of smoking is straight-up not cool. Having lived in countries where smoking in buildings is unacceptable or illegal (US, UK, Thailand), my throat and eyes are dying here.

A few weeks ago at the Bangkok Museum I got to look at the oldest example of proto-Thai upclose. Needless to say, it's unreadable to me as the letters are different.

I love hearing Thais pronounce 'stomach' as 'stow-match'. My language sucks.

If your employer allows this level of convoluted code, they will appreciate the first-class bit as well since you can still integrate with existing JS code.

And stop using Lodash with this madness since it's soo lacking in functions compared to the myriad of FP JS libs along with wrong argument order, etc.

Just saw as JS lib `partial.lenses` highly inspired by Haskell in a Stack Overflow question. Cool, I like that you see the benefit of FP, but please DON'T go down this route. That code is SO difficult to read and understand. IF you want optics & guarantees, I implore you to stop trying to make JS like Haskell and either use GHCJS or PureScript (or Elm) and be done with it. It's very hard for people to grok & you bring little safety outside of the lib being pure functions. Get it first-class, not bolted on.
