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.

It's unexpectedly mutable unless you've closely read the documentation, been bitten by the mutations, or are doing very simple date manipulations.

It's a great library, but it does need fewer footguns. date-fns is a good alternative.

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.

Bit of Deja Vu. 2005.

> Just as insecure as Whatsapp

From the paper:

> With its focus on privacy, Signal excels in exposing almost no information about registered users, apart from their phone number. In contrast, WhatsApp exposes profile pictures and the About text for registered numbers, and requires users to opt-out of sharing this data by changing the default settings.
