re: online identity 

@aschmitz lol it’s okay i’m mostly joking (it’s actually more easily explained as a reference to Metroid [i do not expect people to get that either])

re: pokémon evolution; new avatar 

@aescling cat i think surviving with 1HP+Counter+Accelrock is about my only hope for making it thru bad type matchups i don’t have Moves

re: pokémon evolution; new avatar 

@aescling unless i hold a focus sash and use counter

when the summary is all “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” and the tags are like 

penis in vagina sex, kissing, somebody fucks a pokémon

pokémon evolution; new avatar 

i know Dusk Form Lycanroc is the sexy option because it was originally an event exclusive, but Midday Form is too kind and obedient for me (and the LAST thing i’m doing at noon is evolving)

also dusk form is the futch option

also i am sexy

online identity 

me yesterday: i wonder if someday there will be enough people on mastodon i care about networking with that i will create a professional account

me today: i wonder if my ironic invocation of English nobility doesn’t land hard enough anymore and i need to change my username to Queen

re: online identities 

i extremely do not want to do this ftr

re: online identities 

if i really wanted to split the two i would probably just have to transfer those posts back to my $workname website instead of hosting them at u2764.com and probably scrub them of some other information as well

re: online identities 

i don’t think i can ever fully separate out the work i did on mastodon or glitch‐soc from my current worksona, unfortunately

the problem is that all the WRITING i did about mastodon is rather closely linked to my not‐very‐worksona, and like, i linked to specific commit hashes so

re: online identities 

pretty much all of my contributions to things prior to 2022 were made using an old no-reply email tied to my username so if i changed it that would basically sever that link

wonder what username i contributed to mastodon under

online identities 

maybe i should change my github username

re: prrgrrmmng 

this code doesn’t appear to quite work so i’ll be fixing it and re‐pushing those tags after work today

re: browser engines 

@aescling anyway it could mean something in practice if you built your JS runtime on top of JavaScriptCore instead of V8…

re: browser engines 

@aescling technically it is not “tail call optimization” but “proper tail calls”, meaning that tail calls can’t overflow the stack, but they don’t have to be any faster than other calls (some complain PTC is actually harder to optimize)

re: browser engines 

@wallhackio proper tail calls are only a thing in strict mode, which can't be set in functions which take default parameters, so i threw an IIFE around it

re: browser engines 

@jamey i’d be very interested in <bun.sh/>, which is built on JavaScriptCore instead of V8, because i do think JSC is generally the better runtime (well, and i don’t like Google)

but unfortunately i don’t care at all about the kind of development they are targeting and my needs are much better served by Deno

re: browser engines 

@jamey no, i mean webkit (well, JavaScriptCore)

webkit has implemented PTC for ages: webkit.org/blog/6240/ecmascrip

chrome implemented in V8, but refused to ship, and eventually removed: v8.dev/blog/modern-javascript#

firefox bug is very sleepy: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.

more of a summary here: mgmarlow.com/words/2021-03-27-

@wallhackio pivot to ruby, then you can have an ecosystem which is neither large nor good
