@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run one of the more interesting transforms are to replace "methods" with free-floating functions that take in the data as an argument, so they don't strictly have to be downloaded on any reference to the class and can be code-split by a bundler and loaded only when a page that makes use of them does

this could be useful for things like API clients where the "class" Just contains an api key or whatever and a bunch of methods wrapping every api endpoint you could call to Do A Thing (favorite, boost, new post). is there strictly a reason to load the logic for, idk, changing your username on the home timeline?

@kopper i definitely think module loading is one of the most important semantics in a language and that Nobody Gets This for some reason

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

@Gina haha true 😅 @oscl

This excellent reporting by Ryan Quinn is consistent with my understanding of what's happening with 2 CFR 200 given the Collins amendment to the CR that prohibits implementation until after December.

XCancel et Nitter, les interfaces web alternatives à Twitter/X, ont reçu une menace de procès. Le développement est arrêté, et cessera probablement. Ces services sont probablement finis.

@cisene yes. Speed is the (usually explicitly stated) objective of the slop engines.

Cannot end well

I added an MCP server to my BeamNG.drive mod, which was the best decision I think I've made to date regarding its development. What I'm doing now is very heavy on geometry, and rather than copy and paste, with all the terminal white space issues, converting multi-line lua anons into single lines, etc. Yeah, the agent can now drive the game directly, even give me instructions through NVDA if there's something I need to do in game.
