Unless I'm missing something, the substantive difference hereis that GrubHub is still ordering from the restaurant that the customer is ordering from. Your comparison of pretending to offer GrubHubHelp but then going to competitors is

It's both technical and incentive. The problem is that so much of technology is standing on the shoulders of giants. If we re-write, how much of the giants do we decide to lop-off? For example, could you get Google, Apple, Mozilla, to

To be clear, initially HTML was defined by the W3C. Then when they tried to replace HTML with XML and the browser vendors revolted, the W3C essentially lost control over this. Basically the W3C over-played it's hand. It thought by re

Let me add to this. My viewpoint is similar to yours, and I have some anecdotal info to support this devil's advocate. My wife was able to setup a WordPress site that sold fundraiser raffle tickets for her Rotary Club. The event was

The main thing this is missing is HTML. Sure, you can use bootstrap across the project, but components need to have their custom CSS too. If you added HTML (or really JSX, but same thing more or less), it might look like: <script&g

For each page, you can set `fallback: 'blocking'`. If set, the page is not built at compile time. Instead, it will be compiled the first time it's requested. So the first request will take longer, then after that it'll

Do you mind enumerating the specific pain points? Routing seems like the biggest limitation, but it's a trade off to use their file-based routing which has it's pros too. This precludes page transitions unless you do some reall

A better way of saying this is that srcset gracefully degrades for IE11. They will miss out on the benefits, but they still get to use a regular <img /> tag.

Humour me – if the iPad isn't innovative as it's simply a larger iPhone, how is the Watch innovative? Is it not simply a smaller iPhone with a strap? I recognize Apple's A series and S series chips are different, but both th

Doesn't this just cause more noise and notifications, not less? A stale issue can be ignored, a closed issue may be duplicated. Whenever I came across these issues, I'd just open up a new issue and link to the old one and politely

You're right, but this argument isn't too far from the "roleplaying" criticism that OP brought up. It can be seen as a more or less charitable manifestation of the same idea, namely that by pretending to be X we start b

I'm no expert, but one observation I had is podcasts seem to follow this model. Most podcast ads I hear are read by the hosts themselves, though a small number splice in targeted advertiser-provided audio (eg a UK soccer podcast will

The truth is it varies, largely based on your personal setup. Personally, I think the "mean tweaking time" of an average Linux is very low now. I spend almost no time forced to tweak things, except maybe a bit after installation

The problem is vulnerabilities. Your vulnerability scanner says you're pinned dependency has a vuln, and the only solution is to upgrade versions. By and large, libraries don't backport vulnerability fixes. You have to updat

Fair point! Obscurity as confusion is not what I had in mind, but your points on confusion are totally valid. Your analogy with predators works better here. Using base64 encoding, or encrypting your database, are both examples in the artic
