Isn't http2 basically a replacement for websockets already? It's bidirectional. Has streams. Just missing a way to create a stream in browser iirc.

That your analogy doesn't hold. We do know that infectious diseases with a median R0 of 5.7 will spread exponentially, as was the case with covid-19 in the January-March timeframe. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article

Terrorism isn't an infectious disease.

> Then something happened at Google. I’m not sure what. But they stopped innovating on cloud software. What happened was they were printing money on the cloud software they already had. Classic innovators dilemma.

So covid-19 got to 500k, the high end of those other diseases, in 1/3rd the time and despite extreme measures to contain.

Is this an argument against my concern? I can't tell. I think poor education is a major issue in our (world) society and makes people more vulnerable to things like disinformation which is rampant today.

Advancing HTML is indeed something that the w3c members aren't super interested in. There are a few reasons for this: 1) Changes to HTML can create security issues, especially if it results in a change to the HTML parser. You have to c

Yeah, the #1 thing I got out of college was critical thinking. History and philosophy are where I learned that. Would it have come without college? Maybe, and certainly yes for some. I do worry about a learn-one-task education system and wh

It's not an argument against or for anything, it's a simple logical fact. Two things lining up logically doesn't mean there is causation, as there can be other things that also line up that could be an equally valid explanati

Why am I using a language with pointers if it doesn't care about being fast? Another problem with not having a smart compiler is the gigantic binaries it produces. For wasm, an officially supported target, this makes it a non-starter.

That wouldn't make the virus disappear though, it would make it less severe. Which is good! Hopefully that happens. That it mutates to the point of being significantly less deadly before a vaccine seems unlikely to me.

Not in a few months.

Serious question, how could it disappear? It seems like as long as there are people close enough to infect, it will infect them. There are cases in warm environments. What am I missing?

What is against my point? Wearing a mask reduces the chance of getting the virus and of spreading the virus. It doesn't eliminate the risk. Masks are not impenetrable. You can touch your face even with a mask on. You can touch your fac

Being overly cautious about a virus we don't 100% understand yet seems like a good idea.

The best solution is to not have as much JavaScript. Use a smaller framework. Use fewer dependencies. Lazy load things when you can. The solution is to have a performance budget at the start of your project so things never get so bad.

I don't know what you find so hard to believe. Many people are not wearing masks. Many people are not distancing. Those people, and their family members, are getting it. People who work with one of these people and then touch their fac

You're probably getting down-ranked by Google, they use performance as a metric.

It's unrelated to network conditions (those just make it worse). It's related to the processor in many mobile phones.

It's not the browser, it's the processor that's in most non-iPhones.

This is very true. I think, as this article describes, going through the process of discussing priorities as part of the initial architecture would lead to asking the questions about what the requirements really are, and what technologies b

by Touche 6y ago
Yeah but requirements are never that simple. You also have a cart item in the header that shows 4 but now must show 3, and you have a price that's over in the sidebar that needs to update, etc. Oh and the user is logged in and is recei

HTML with a tiny bit of JavaScript is just considered not an option at all, by the designers and the business. They don't want a HTML form post when you delete an item from a list, they want the item to animate out. So if you look at
