I agree we need to be fighting on the NN front still, but what do you mean by "out-of-band" in reference to IPFS? I take out-of-band in this context to refer to host names, essentially, but isn't IPFS (or any other content-ad

I agree with you on some level, but tech has no small part to play in this phenomenon. It's not just the presence of the technology itself, it's the technology's essential design and purpose. The article's thesis, as I s

That's certainly a valid argument, but the most compelling use-case for a microservice architecture is when your organizational structure (and the specific technical strengths that come with that) mirrors the application structure. The

I think that's a mischaracterization of the comment's argument, despite its perhaps simplistic language. Maybe I'm wrong but given the context the spirit of the argument seems to be "let's load less shitty JS,"

I don't understand your argument? You seem to agree "we should be breaking JavaScript" but you're against backwards-incompatibility...which is just a way of saying "breaking JavaScript."

This is a straw man argument. Randomly breaking stuff for the sake of breaking stuff is not what this is about. This update had a clear intent and only "broke the web" for sites running code that was already risking breakage by de

Are you referring to user agents? Serving different code based on user agent is considered bad practice, and would be a maintenance nightmare. Not to mention, serving different JavaScript would make it more difficult to reason about what

Can't edit orig comment...yes I misunderstood the point about explicit breaking changes. I recently watched Rich Hickey's "spec-ulation" talk referenced elsewhere in this thread, which takes an extreme view (tl;dr SemVer

Minor point, but he puts Python in with software that "almost never breaks" on update. Really? Am I missing something? Maybe he just hasn't tried running Python 3 yet...

I'm with you so far. What I'm wondering is if you're saying this Palestinian guy was "put into the pipeline" by someone performing such a metadata attack, since he seems at first glance to fit the profile of someone

Are you implying this was part of some cyber-phrenological attack to poison the "predator"? Or something? Pardon my ignorance, as my attempts to understand just what the hell cyber phrenology is all about is a bit stymied by the f

Agree. It's a fun effect to show off as a FE dev I guess, but it feels out of character. Maybe make a "party mode" or something? You could click a disco ball to turn it on! :D Other than that, cool idea and well executed.

As much I think Debord's theory on the Society of the Spectacle [1] is as prescient as ever today, this article doesn't go far enough in making that case. It even casts Google as some great democratizing force: > Wikipedia w

This is a fantastic answer, and I wish more folks were this dedicated to making sure they have something great before trying to hawk it. That said, I do wish I could pay for (at least) a TB of Keybase storage right now. :D

Totally agree, and would add that it's no coincidence that articles like these tend to conflate "web programming" with the current state of the JS ecosystem. Yes JS is kinda crazy if you don't know how to select the righ

Great article! I have no experience with Elm but I'm much more likely to try it out now. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this though: http://reasonablypolymorphic.com/blog/elm-is-wrong
