| 00:00 | <&McMartin> | (There's a checkbox that says "I trust this file" and lets you use the default viewer, but this seems like it's not a great idea in general.) |
| 00:01 | <@Reiv> | Short of a VM... |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | Actually, I wonder if I can just jam it into Firefox |
| 00:02 | <@Reiv> | I guess you'll need to just trust the files you are attempting to refer, and probably do it in a NoScript'd Firefox or something and trust that any exploits are so old that they'll be laughably obsolete |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | And use its normal sandboxing |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | Right, that's the thing |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | CHM opens in "Windows Help Viewer" |
| 00:02 | <@Reiv> | ah, yes |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | It's just that this is a processed HTML format |
| 00:03 | <@Reiv> | Well, give it a go |
| 00:03 | <&McMartin> | Firefox does not seem to know what to do with it |
| 00:04 | <@Reiv> | pity |
| 00:04 | <&McMartin> | There are a number of standalone viewers, it looks like, but the ones I'm spot checking are the "some dude with dodgy command of English with an English-only web-site and no evidence of anyone recommending or using the software" |

| 16:14 | < ErikMesoy> | Fuuuu~uck dynamic loading, sideways, with a rusty spork, especially with what appears to be Schlemiel's Algorithm in effect. |
| 16:17 | < ErikMesoy> | I'm accessing a list of over 3500 items which dynamically loads in 40 more every time I scroll to the bottom, and every subsequent load takes longer, which I would _assume_ is because it's piling up so many dynamic elements to keep track of. |
| 16:19 | < ErikMesoy> | 1600 items in and there's *twenty-second* lag on loading in the next bunch. This is worse than being back on dialup. |
| 16:42 | <@TheWatcher> | .... |

| 17:37 | <&[R]> | I wonder if it does DOM stupidly |
| 17:38 | <&[R]> | In many cases, messing with innerHTML is faster than screwing around with the DOM |
| 17:39 | <&[R]> | Or at least it used to be |
| 17:44 | <&[R]> | Also when I started reading your complaint, I thought you were in some kind of DLL hell |

| 17:59 | <@gnolam> | ErikMesoy: Wirth's law unfortunately extends to websites. |
| 17:59 | <@gnolam> | Javascript was a mistake. |
| 19:30 | <&jeroud> | I don't think it was. |
| 19:31 | <&jeroud> | I think it was an inevitability, and whatever else took its place in an alternate universe would likely be just as bad. |
