When a smaller network tries to be interoperable with a larger network, the larger network almost always eats up the smaller one. This is how XMPP was killed by Gtalk, if any of you are old enough to remember.

It is so bad that it is not worth assessing in the first place.

Yes I have. But not this.

Someone else should write a browser engine called “Godom”. Which honestly would be a great name. A good browser will handle sessions and DOM.

Thanks for the pointer. And it makes it doubly confusing. Doesn't a reference to an obsolete, pre-modern language tarnish the reputation of Rust? Doesn't the creator of this project fear lawsuits from the legal team at The Basic Foundation?

I'm confused. Why do you name it “go”-something when it is not implemented in Go... I have a more catchy name for you, Rub, which stands for route to unlimited browsing.

thwg — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 15:09:36 +0000

IMHO, it would be more correct-miş, in terms of linguistics at least, to call it an “aspect” than a “tense”.

It's not a tense. It's called evidentiality.

Well, Geoff Hinton should get the prize for physiology instead. It's called “neural” networks after all.
