  1. The thing that gets installed, if it is an executable, usually also has permissions to do scary things. Why is the installation process so scrutinized?
  2. and JavaScript even anywherer!
  3. Maybe I have this wrong, but I believe the difference is that you can create an Io instance in a function that has none
  4. The name is weird

    which is it?

  6. I mean this with all sincerity, try doing this yourself.

    The established projects are resistant to YOLOing their projects and running them on complete LLM autopilot.

    You are proposing a completely different development style.

    The XML spec is a book https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/

  17. > Some controllers are originally painted with a rubber-like cover that, unfortunately, degrades with time and becomes a sticky gooey. I usually deal with it with the help of Methanol. It nicely removes it.

    I have some products like that and I despise them. Maybe I should try methanol.
