It’s really difficult to remove smells of cigarette smoke and disappointment from a room. They really seep in. I always prefer rooms that expressly prohibit them.

Lemmy has a web interface just like kbin. Are you saying that regular websites don’t work on older iDevices? The web interface for your instance is at https://lemmy.world

In terms of raw performance, compiled languages like C, C++, and Rust are much faster than interpreted languages like PHP, Python, and Ruby.

The difference between compilation and interpretation is the difference between you reading the translation of a foreign book versus an interpreter reading each line in the original book and telling you its meaning in your language every time you want to read the book.

Java, Kotlin and Scala are somewhat in between in terms of speed. Code that gets called a lot gets compiled just in time.

Yeah. For example Lemmy backend is written purely in Rust and doesn’t use unsafe anywhere, but some lower-level library it uses probably does use unsafe for IO code.

That’s just like your spider, man.

But for now I’m enjoying the variety.

I haven’t used a PWA as regularly as i have wefwef, so I don’t know, but i read somewhere that the browser you use makes a difference.
