There were plenty of people predicting it, pointing out its deficiencies and explaining what needs to be done. In terms of very high level ideas, Alan Kay comes to mind.

I would still maintain the website, but it would be much easier, because I could lean on archival features when that makes sense, instead of trying to keep everything "stable" manually.

The web has nothing built-in for archiving and versioning. It's a gaping hole in this technological platform, one that has been noted and criticized for a very long time. The reality of this problem, however, is vehemently denied by th

Not sure how this relates. When I say "extreme" I mean "extreme" in all senses, not just politically extremist. Could be just an extremely one-sided view of something ("why X sucks") or even a "top 10&quot

What you're saying is true, people often seek extremes in all things without any extra nudging, but the problem is that YouTuve deliberately creates several other positive feedback loops. It doesn't just show related videos, it sh

To put it generously, this is theory that rarely makes it to the real world. In reality, all SPAs I've seen had chunks of business logic re-implemented on the client side, and had web services that only made sense within the context

If browsers used SmallTalk we would leapfrog about 30 years of reinventing the broken wheel and everyone would be better off (except maybe a few overpaid framework experts).

Your class will not work without language-level if/else construct or something equivalent. In Samlltalk if/else is implemented purely through message passing. There is no "real" if/else. IIRC, Smalltalk has Bool

FFS, this isn't that hard to understand. What is your language background? The core difference is that messages are interpreted by the object itself . At runtime. Here is a practical example where the difference is obvious. Let&#x27
