It’s even more bizarre because things like Patreon and SMS text authentication weren’t around in 2002 and hardly even in 2012. Might as well criticise Tim Bernes-Lee for not developing the HTTPS spec in the 80s

If all that’s changing on a site is the presentation/ordering of elements, then you just need to update some XPath selectors every now and then and have a notification system for knowing when those selectors aren’t working. You can eve

+1 to compound weightlifting (Barbell squats, deadlifts, bench press, military press) have done more to help me manage my mental health than any other avenue. 45 mins per day, 3-4 days a week and life just feels brighter. Keep it simple,

Look into Go, specifically the colly pkg. Learnt Go just so I could use this library after wrestling with highly parralelized Python web scraping. The 1k/requests/sec/core figure is true and frankly deadly, and Go borrows a l

YouTube's stronghold is because of community, not technology. It's also been around for 14 years and has so much internet history baked into it that it's just hard to conceive it being dethroned.

Out of all the 1s and 0s that I want backed up in the cloud for an indefinite period of time, nothing is as irreplaceable as a photo/video that will make me smile 2/5/10/20+ years from now. I'd argue that the threat

What is the exact point that a crawler needs to be decoupled (at the corporate level) from it's front end? Is it measured by MAUs? Pages scraped? Or is it going by "it can be decoupled, so it should". The extreme version of y

Serverless just means that your infrastructure is programmatically defined through configuration files rather than manually stiched together, so (in theory) the underlying silicon is abstracted away in a similar fashion to the x86 ASM that

The Docs take Vue to a league of its own. I'd contend that no other JS ecosystem has docs that are as lucid, concise and beginner friendly as Vue's. This intro to VueX (Vue's state management library) is a good example: http
