I have been asking for a while if it could be a good idea to make something like asm.js but for webpages: Something to put in a meta tag or something early in the page that lets the browser know this webpage will only use a known-to-be-fast

Reverts are also easy even if one merges the whole branch. Just revert the merge commit. I almost never look at them, but once in a while it is really great to see the thought process that led to something.

If you think about code quality in terms like line length, spelling errors, etc it might not matter. If you think of it in terms of: - how long does it take to get at new developer up to speed? (everything from readability to build systems

Java is my first choice. C# is a close second. It depends on what the customer knows. TypeScript third. But first for frontend. Kotlin could have been on the list. It is a nice language but not worth the hassle (tied to one ide, extra confi

So it is not about incompetence but about wanting to provide a service that is vastly inferior to what they used to do on hardware a fraction as powerful as what they have today. If what you write is correct they actually want me to have

It used to work as expected before. It works as expected in competitors with far far far less resources. The reason they don't fix it is either because they aren't competent to do it or because they don't want to give me corr

As I write above it doesn't work reliably . And as I think everyone on HN knows "my Google" isn't "your Google". Even if it works reliably for you doesn't mean it does for me and many others.
