Looking into x402, and this is more about giving your agent a crypto wallet rather than a debit card.

I think most of the complaints about moment are that it's really big (because of i18n and timezones). Obsidian isn't a web page/app, so it doesn't need to optimize bundle size too much.

The Gobi desert and the bottom of the ocean are far more hospitable for human colonization than anywhere off-planet (not to mention far, far cheaper and more energy-efficient)

I've worked in Bioinformatics companies for over 20 years, so a big chunk of my programming career was working with Perl, and I've loved, used and advocated for Mojolicious since I first ran across it. It taught me about API design and testing, contributing to open source, and participating in a generous tech community. It also taught me about not being dissuaded from making the right technical decision by popular opinion or ego (for example, breaking with the consensus around PSGI/Plack interoperability to build the entire framework around async IO).

As the world around me and I moved on from Perl, I've experienced a sense of mourning and loss. I love Mojolicious but I realize I'll probably never again write more than a one-liner in Perl (certainly not on the job; the majority of my current employer's codebase is actually in R). Furthermore, it's become clear that modern web development belongs inescapably to Javascript (and maybe Typescript); In this light, the release of mojo.js feels like an act of love and consolation, a wonderful gift to myself and all other bereft Polyglot Perl expatriates like me.

I offer my love and thanks to the mojo core team - long may you rock on!

Use the debugger: `python -mpdb` is a very similar experience to `perl -d`, so much so that it feels like a gift from an earlier perl-to-python emigrant.

(I showed my co-workers `perl -d`, they later discovered and showed me `python -mpdb`)

It is specific to this page, and I suspect it is intended for stylistic effect, since he is discussing speech-recognition software.

BTW, scroll left on the header graphic!

You seem to be unfamiliar with the idea of a *personal web site*.

Hosted on one's own domain, hosting whatever content one chooses to throw up on a server, intended primarily for oneself and one's acquaintances, these things are as old as the web and among its most fascinating treasures.

Notice how all the videos are also self-hosted.

I think he means "Zero Point Energy", the idea that energy can be extracted from the vacuum's quantum fluctuations.
