That "some time ago" is 20 years ago. It is crazy that Raymond has been able to consistently write historical yet fun blog posts for decades. What a dedication.

Watching the Big Buck Bunny demo at https://moq.dev/watch/?name=bbb on my mobile phone leaves a lot of horizontal black lines. (Strangely, it is OK on my PC despite using the same Wi-Fi network.) Is it due to buffer size? Can I increase it client-side, or should it be done server-side?

Also, thanks for not missing South Kora in your "global" CDN map!

Of course, I migrated from it after I learned uv.

With the advent of uv, I'm finally feeling like Python packaging is solved. As mentioned in the article, being able to have inline dependencies in a single-file Python script and running it naturally is just beautiful.

  #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run
  # /// script
  # dependencies = ['requests', 'beautifulsoup4']
  # ///
  import requests
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

> It used to be that either you avoided dependencies in small Python script, or you had some cumbersome workaround to make them work for you. Personally, I used to manage a gigantic venv just for my local scripts, which I had to kill and clean every year.

I had the same fear for adding dependencies, and did exactly the same thing.

> This is the kind of thing that changes completely how you work. I used to have one big test venv that I destroyed regularly. I used to avoid testing some stuff because it would be too cumbersome. I used to avoid some tooling or pay the price for using them because they were so big or not useful enough to justify the setup. And so on, and so on.

I 100% sympathize with this.

  - Galaxy S24 Ultra
  - Termius: I think it is the best terminal emulator and SSH client on Android. The sad thing is that the paid version is a bit too expensive. ($10 per month, no permanent option)
  - tmux: Mobile connections are brittle so it is a must.
  - Vim: Allows me to navigate the code freely without using arrow keys, which is really useful on the touch keyboard.

Edit: The biggest pain point for me was the limited width of the smartphone screen. It is a bit hard to skim over the code quickly because most lines are severely cut. Text wrapping helps this but personally I hate text wrapping. Keeping landscape mode is not an option because the code area is completely hidden when the touch keyboard is displayed. That's why foldable phones are great for coding, as they have a wider screen. My previous phone was Galaxy Fold and it was a wonderful coding machine.

You can use "\rm" to invoke the non-aliased version of the command. I made "rm -i" the default using an alias and occasionally use "\rm" to get the decreased safety level you described. I think it is more convenient that way.

MFC extends this idea to network programming, allowing the use of shift operators to send and receive data.

Does this Python code count? Haha.

This is exactly what we do with server-side rendering today, huh. So the originally intended uses of JavaScript included servers too.

> Java programs and JavaScript scripts are designed to run on both clients and servers, with JavaScript scripts used to modify the properties and behavior of Java objects

This, not quite so.
