The fact that people keep releasing new bundlers, minifiers, transpilers, package managers and so on, for JavaScript is a loud and clear warning that something is amiss. People (re)write such tools either for fun or to solve a problem (or b

I was confused by the "Rust" denotion in the title and presumed it was an alternative builder to compile rust for web (wasm?). It's "yet another" bundler for javascript. Built in rust.

And even if for some reason it does occur more often, a message queue is a common, and rather simple solution for this.

For me too. I used to have a sheet of stamps lying around. Often only one was used. Then those would "expire" after years, in the sense that (yearly?) tariff-increasments would invalidate the "now too cheap" ones. I then

Why do you presume it must be built into a browser? Mozilla alteady has mumore products and services than just ff. These ideas could be standalone too.

In a well functioning democracy, politicians that fail to bring laws that they and their voters believe in, into action, would be voted out. And would be voted out, if they fail over and over. And would not be elected in the first place whe

I think the premise is wrong. That "we" are still using it en masse and in ever increasing amounts. We just call it different. Or use different underlying products. Nearly all web frameworks have some worker system built in. Many

And the most demanding part of that listing can be done on a build machine. This benefit of compiled languages is often overlooked by folks who are (mostly/only) familiar with dynamic languages like PHP, Python or Js/Ts

Nobody wants their car infrastructure taken away or reduced. But everyone loves living in the places where car infrastructure was taken away or reduced. It's a well-known conundrum. One that takes strong political will, leaders, a cris

So, basically the US electorate chooses to be obese? If so, the underlying question is: why do they choose this? I can think of several reasons, but to me the most obvious cause is "runaway capitalism", where a few big corporation

Indeed. I'd dig one deeper and look at the reasons why it's "not feasible" and the change that first. If people propose "national emergency" as a solution, clearly such options should be on the table.

This reply is so "American" I find it hard to believe it's not satire. The, IMO, logical solution would be to change the underlying problem. Maybe even through some "national emergency". Force the food industry to c

I find it fascinating how smart Apple spins all these issues into something that's "good for consumers". Sometimes those reasons are built in, like with this case of serial numbers. But also "privacy" or "secur

Wow, the Russians shot down another plane. I never heard of KAL007 and thought MH17 was the first time this happened. Did any other nation states ever shoot down passenger airplanes?
