This is just a discourse based on "I need to churn out something, I need that fast and I didn't start in the web game when Backbone and E4X were solid corporate choices". If you are not in a hurry, work in a solid team and ha

Micro-libraries anywhere else are everything you said: building blocks that come after a little study of the language and its stdlib and will speed up development of non-trivial programs. In JS and NPM they are a plague, because they promis

I see only the 4th point as a real problem, which could be solved by fragmenting the network more, like connecting a server to it and not connecting the user directly (UI must reduce the visual noise of netsplits that should be a lot more f

Someday office365 will end this problem, let's hope that. However for my basic usages libreoffice always fared very well, I still have a habit to save to PDF and print that to paper though!

The pipeline part and the "do one thing well" can't make anything structurally serious for the layman. But Unix had gaps for that, that plan9 in its ways fills: it has GUI, a better shell language, coroutines and file servers

The plan9 philosophy can't exist because there are no more three-button mice... UI aside, you have very cool technical differences with UNIX and most important of all daemons are file servers, you don't have to create or learn any

rminnich is a lot of things (including a 9front developer) but not a plan9 developer. He is right however, you are also right: it's because Windows and Docker publish 9p server in a stupid way. It shouldn't be just the guest fs,

fetch is a WHATWG standard, not ECMAScript. Qjs devs have made a language interpreter and not a scripting environment. You can use txiki [1] for that, it has fetch. [1] https://github.com/saghul/txiki.js

I don't understand why questions made for high-quality outlets with a very clear identity are then asked in low-paying endeavours where even founders have no clear higher-level vision and mission. I've seen the McKinsey dumberies

I know mostly nothing about enterprise video/streaming wrangling. Is Youtube rolling out something like an m3u playlist on demand with the video intermingled with ads or a single video with ads baked in, like a VHS recording from TV?

Albeit NIH and Silicon Valley behaviour, I like how Canonical however ships things coming from their R&D and M&A. Probably most of the Linux userspace is mantained jointly by IBM and Microsoft nowadays, it's not bad to hear out

Data in W3 is designed as poorly as FTP, relies on third-party for consistence and transfer. And we used it a lot for bullshit content we thought we paid upfront (by buying hardware and access to a network). W3 will always be the perfect me
