Streams, a pipe dream? I see what you did there. Unfortunately this appears to be an Electron app, so expecting behavior which would probably be quite simple for a real application does in fact seem unlikely. Too bad, too, since this does i

Interesting. I wonder why. If it really is a problem with pricing in local currencies, they could have explicitly listed the prices in USD/US$ or something.

I appreciate seeing a perspective from the "other side" on this. Still, as a small business operator occasionally making B2B purchases, I still find "call for pricing" annoying and assume it will mean that the product is

The second sentence in the paragraph at the top of the home page is pricing. Bravo. All web sites selling a product should make the pricing this prominent. At the least, have a pricing page with actual prices on it and not a "Call

Did they? When? I think there were many times where the Dems had the majorities and clout to codify permitting abortion, at least in more "conservative" forms like "up to the third trimester unless special circumstances,&quot

Misleading headline. That woman induced the miscarriage by using hard drugs while pregnant - perhaps unintentionally, but it was still a consequence of her decisions. I of course was speaking of uninduced miscarriages, which happens shockin

Yes, the phone experience suffers. I wouldn't call it an advantage, especially since the worst problems (itty bitty upvote/downvote buttons, for example) could be fixed with maybe just a couple hours of CSS tweaking. But as a whol

For what it's worth, AdGuard still seems to be holding its own against ad blocker blockers. Unlike other blockers, AdGuard is a paid service, but well worth it in my opinion and I'd recommend it in an instant. The only place where

> It runs locally, not rendering badly in the browser. Not sure what you mean by this one - Word '97 didn't run in a browser either. As for your other two features, I still don't see those as a 1000-fold improvement.

This was a killer feature in the iCab browser! I loved that ambitious little browser and used it for many years, and its ability to easily toggle image loading was one of the reasons.

Speaking factually, I guess you have to be correct and nostalgia is tainting my memories. Maybe my standards were also much lower then, so a ten-second page load was less offensive then than it is now.

It's an old, old argument, but very true. My first Internet-capable computer had a 14.4k modem - that's a theoretical speed of 14,000 kilo bits per second. But on the whole I don't really remember the web being slower or les

Thanks for the response. I didn't know that NPM packages aren't just Git pulls as they are in Composer. That's surprising. I wonder why they decided against implementing it that way - it seems like just using Git or other pac

I've never used the spaceship operator in my own code, and whenever I see it in someone else's, I almost always have to look it up to remind myself what it does. I guess it's a nice feature to have, but I tend to forget that

All right, well, I guess this and other ideas just aren't going to appeal to you, and that's okay. I will keep making sites on the normal web, both for myself and my clients. Hopefully one of those will strike your fancy. But if n
