Just today I was reading a blog post about some framework (KubeFlow) not being “ready for prime time yet”, and even though the article had great technical details, the fact that it lacked a date made it so much less valuable: it’s highly relevant whether this conclusion was drawn last month or two years ago.
I understand why this happens, but part of me really wishes we could stop this. Maybe there is some archive.org extension that can show me “this page first appeared on $date”.
- mlac 5y agoIf you found it through google, or search it on google, you can see when it was cached.
- shishironline 5y agoOpen developer tools and type `document.lastModified` in the console. Though this is painful for every web page, is useful in these instances. Maybe someone with experience in developing Chrome extensions, can develop one for getting this plus other useful page info by just clicking on it in the toolbar
- bryanrasmussen 5y agowhy would companies who are trying to deceive not go through the trouble of changing the last-modified header? At any rate lots of sites don't set last modified anyway so that makes it January 1, 1970, GMT.
- qw 5y ago"last modified" only works for static content, and not pages that are rendered dynamically or where the header is set based on cache settings. Even for static content, the date may be wrong as the output may have been generated multiple times since it was first created.
- shishironline 5y agoThanks for the info
- iggldiggl 5y agoWordpress-based blogs (maybe others, too) often have a timestamp hidden in an HTML Meta-tag even if the date is otherwise hidden from regular view.
