I don't understand the cynicism people have for this idea. All they did was say "wouldn't it be cool if you could have nice animations in between pages" and built a proof-of-concept. It's not a finished product. The

Advertisements already can be and are preloaded. This just enables navigating to another page without going back to the server.

You're misreading my comment. I'm talking about general trends in programming. The 2000s were dominated by bulky server environments like Java, IIS (for .NET) and Ruby Mongrel. These were not things you started up just by running

If we look at it from a historical perspective, Clojure came about at the end of the Java and Ruby eras where running big long-lasting programs was the norm. It was about 2 years later that Node.js, Go, and then Rust came about. These langu

"can run" is much different from "the default environment". There's a big noticeable difference.

To be fair, at companies that size basically every programming language is used somewhere, by some team.

You can't dismiss this bug like that. Having multiple tabs open and having those tabs get taken out of memory and needing to refresh is a very common thing to happen. This is a bad bug for this particular website. Now, you said that by

Pick any article on that page. Scroll to the bottom and refresh. In a tradition site the browser would remember your scroll position. Here it doesn't, likely due to using client-side routing in JavaScript. So instead you're taken

Yes, it's a real issue. There's even a VC funded startup that specializes in a React based blogging tool: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ . If you work as a web developer there's just no denying it; using a SPA fram

This is the common excuse given for bloated JavaScript usage but it ignores the realities of what is happening on the web. People are building simple blogs with JavaScript frameworks. People are building their 2 form field login page with J

It sounds like you agree with me. Yes, you have to know some things . Developers who came in in this culture know that inputs are for typing things and that divs are for block level elements and span for inline ones. That's a far cry

It was React. React made it so that you could outsource your markup to libraries, and the community adopted the mindset enthusiastically. Along with that was a focus on composability over what actually gets produced. React has always been

Can anyone explain the elevator pitch of Netlify to me? I know it's become quite popular in the last couple of years and I can't figure out why. I don't doubt that it's good at what it does, but it seems to do the same t

No one is implying that not infecting W3C with DRM is going to kill DRM. Of course anyone can agree to things in whatever organized way they want to. The reason to keep it out of W3C is because it violates their core mission: https:/&

The existence of features in any piece of software is a burden on further development of said software. Every time we go to add some other new feature to the spec we have to take into account how it will affect EME. That's just how sof

Same here, I prefer a black bean burger to one of these. I don't dislike the impossible burger but still have the uncanny valley sensation while eating them.

by Touche 8y ago
Also the impossible burger has about the same amount of calories as an 80% lean ground beef burger, so it's no better as far as calories are concerned.

Right, just like that. They are totally comparable, adding a new feature to an existing runtime is just as hard to convince as adding a new runtime itself. Totally comparable.

Eh, I'm not trying to discourage you from building cool apps on top of WASI. I just hope you understand what you're up against. And most of it is not technical; you've got to convince Apple to include a WASI runtime on iOS (a

Yeah, sure, you go ahead and reinvent 30 years of cross-platform application APIs. I'll keep using the web until your new ones match maturity.

by Touche 8y ago
This is nice and I'm excited about it, however there is a concern that people are going to start building code that targets WASI and then shim it to run in the browser. This happened to JavaScript when Node.js was released; people bega

It doesn't mean that, they might only support ES6 browsers (even IE11 has some ES6 support).

Can someone tldr; this please? It seems like some people "left" the company because Facebook is taking a PR hit on its bad privacy practices. Is that right?

Great post. I suffer from this to some degree (not to the point where I lack sleep). For me it's just that I feel this sort of obligation to work on the side project when I would rather, for example, read. Then I start to feel resentme

Not as much as the first time, but sure. I only have 4 or 5 of them so its not like I use them every day. But getting the order email after using them still sparks a tiny bit of joy.

Yeah this is something I should have mentioned. If you run out of something before your subscription redelivery date then the subscription is basically pointless. The entire point is to not have to think about buying something.

I still use mine. Especially for laundry detergent, I'm going to miss this. Subscriptions are something I've tried a couple of times but have this problems for me: - I don't know how often I need a lot of products. I could ke
