ask jeeves sold to a parent company and rebranded "ask . com" in 2006. shortly after, in 2007, they ran a tv ad campaign called "instant getifaction".

the literal moment I first saw that ad, the term "getify" came to mind, and I immediately picked my company name and nickname.

I asked a few people if they remembered Ask Jeeves and every single one looked at me like I made it up. HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER ASK JEEVES??? We literally used to ask a cartoon butler questions before Google became everyone’s entire personality. Please tell me someone else remembers this.

lol please for the love of god just invent a new effing language and stop obsessing with changing JS. leave it alone.

"likely need new syntax" == "just invent a new language"

For TS/JS to reach performance closer to Rust/C than Go, it will likely need new syntax

Not proposing anything specific right now. Bun AOT is designed to be a drop-in for existing codebases. But we’ll likely propose some non-breaking additions later.

O/U on Trump declaring himself either:

* a "new democrat"
* an independent
* inventing some other party name (not maga or republican)

BREAKING: Trump now endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying the people who want full deportations are on the "pretty far right," after losing the midterms.

He admits in a 60 Minutes interview that his immigration policy "was too tough" and "ultimately that hurt me," and says "illegals" who have been in the US for 10-15 years, such as hotel workers and landscapers, should have an opportunity to stay.

"Let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them," Trump says, adding that "people have already called me," including Democrat James Talarico.
