Your comment can be interpreted in two opposite ways, but it seems you meant that native apps allow the better tracking and ad delivery. While mobile apps are quite awful from this perspective, you must consider that the web is by far the

Malware's backwards compatible with Windows 7. In fact it gets better and better the more time passes.

Quite an awkward link that. Deep down the author feels bad from the cognitive dissonance experienced by offering an inferior solution and they are writing as a means of catharsis, more to convince themselves than others. It's doubtful

The technological change is following the changes in the nature of software development. Perhaps the most important one is the wide-spread contamination with the poisonous mix of VC money with the start-up "move fast and break things&q

Intranet apps are the ideal case for web technologies, because all their disadvantages either don’t apply or can be mitigated or ignored :-)

cock.li seems to be just your average e-mail provider with no security features, as they existed since the dawn of internet. They have access to e-mail metadata and contents, and so does law enforcement or anyone hacking their servers. How

Yes, and this is the best one can get in 2021. So it would be nice if everyone stopped attacking them at every step and started building that mythical private e-mail service that they’re talking about instead.

They apparently log the IP addresses for customers where they receive a warrant from the local authorities. Not everyone’s IP and they don’t just give them away. But on the positive side, one does not have to use PM. There’s plenty of encry

Are you talking about specific EU countries? I have a hard time imagining stuff like this in e.g. Germany besides some trendy start-ups.

No, this is a security feature which can also be enabled by users - last logins basically.

* Think about a journalist in Afghanistan, a whistleblower in the USA, or a human rights activist in China* The former's safe because no one's going to deliver IPs to Afghanistan and the latter are doomed, because the US and China

I didn't do anything about this, because I expect any commercial service to log IPs at least for a short period of time to fight abuse. I'm using this service because I don't want the service provider's staff or someon

If you think that's bad, Tutanota was forced by the court to change their SW, so that all incoming e-mails for a specific account would be intercepted before encryption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27303712

There's nothing wrong design-wise with your approach, IMO. I've seen several people (including very well-known C++ personalities) argue that exceptions should be used for X and error codes for Y, but this is just convention. C++-w

What's remarkable to me is that Fowler is telling an interesting story about a technical decision, includes an entertaining diagram, but in the end doesn't provide any proof either way. There's not a single piece of hard data

Generic statements such as "most people don't care [...] extra 10-100ms for the UI" need to be supported by evidence, especially since those 100ms are added to existing latency and 100ms is considered the threshold where op

Web technologies are default-slow while native (except Java on Android) is typically default-fast. One needs to go out of their way to create a slow native app, even if it's of course possible. Slowness is the natural state of web appl

Those look like problems for compiler implementers (tiny subset of users) or those writing code with very tight performance requirements (large amount of C++ code does not have such reqs). In spite of the reasons given, exceptions are succ

Those being outraged about this decision haven’t accepted yet that one can’t solve legal issues around encryption with technology - not even with open source. The UK for example can throw people in prison if they don’t hand over their passw
