🚀 Ah, the noble quest to elevate #WebAssembly — a modern-day Arthurian legend where every knight is met with the mighty "403 Forbidden" dragon at nginx castle. 🏰🔒 Surely, the web's elite are trembling in awe at this groundbreaking development in... well, absolutely nothing. 🙄

Why is WebAssembly a second-class language on the web? – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C++, and immediately enabled many new kinds of applications to efficiently target the web.

Get Things Done this weekend !
She thought.

Make a dent in my vertiginous To Do list !
She thought.

BUT NO.

Her weekend was to be consumed by the *two singular tasks* of getting a printer and a set of doorbells to just work as advertised!

Kafka could ~only dream~ up complexities and modern tortures such as these.*

[Also Boyf is more emotionally robust than I am to the current 'drip drip' of modern life ..]
