The money is always ads. What Electron does is project presence. It's not huge, but also not insignificant. If Mozilla controlled "the thing developers use to make desktop webapps", they would have more presence. I also think

Why should I buy this "ethical Apple" argument? They shared audio Siri recordings with contractors in 2019. It became opt-in only after backlash, similar to other privacy controversies. This shows that they clearly prioritize not

That is precisely the intention. The last part should also be read in double speed!

I recently saw someone making the following comparison: - The transition from paper maps to Waze. - The transition from unassisted to AI-assisted. At first, this comparison made me incredibly uncomfortable, but the more I think about it, th

> Ads have a very high profit margin. I don't get it. "AI is the new electricity", right? Disruptive. A new era. The lightbulb company should be so disruptive that it completely occludes the huge profits of the old and obs

This is a hell of a way of sharing what you want to do but cannot guarantee you'll be able to without saying that you cannot guarantee you'll be able to do what you want to do.

> the industry will just collapse Wait, so all of that talk of ushering an era of innovation and new opportunities was just a lie, and the thing needs dinosaur-era stuff like ads and online shopping to survive? Seems disingenuous.

What killed Firefox was Electron. There, I just said it. XUL was very good, but then it was no more. And as soon as it was gone, Electron apps appeared. It's a tragedy. Mozilla had everything to be in that place instead, with a better

Can you explain the pattern? I mean, not "look at the Conway's Game of Life, and extrapolate from that, we are nothing but this". This is not a proof, right? What I mean by "damn if you try" is the fact that conscio

It's fine to say that behavior can emerge from complex systems, but if you go beyond that and actually try to explain how, then you are screwed. That's why consciousness, how the brain works, etc never moves on. Something always d

I can see you lack imagination. That's good! It indeed makes no sense, you're right.

You don't need massive datacenters in space. You literally just need to be in space, because no typical laws apply if you are there. That little detail outweights all sorts of costs. So, yeah. There will be datacenters in space. Probab

I'm assuming the case here is lots of query params. Stuff like `?foo=bar&lorem=ipsum...`. Most likely, you would benefit from making a cirurgical mini-resource on the server. Introduce `/report/{id}`, and make it into a P

GET: I want to see stuff. POST: I want to change stuff. I don't know how this style cannot match cleanly any architecture. It's not supposed to be a map to CRUD, it's a bunch of building blocks for manipulating state over a n
