Attributes exist because HTML is a markup language where text is the primary content and markup adds structure and metadata. Eliminating attributes would mean metadata should be expressed as text content, which in turn means it is not reall

The element/attribute distinction is because HTML is a markup language, where the primary content is text and markup is used to add structure and metadata. You can eliminate attributes to get a simpler format, but it isn't really

Why doesn't markdown qualify as a markup language?

So am I correct in the understanding that Object.freeze in JavaScript does not provide any useful protection against malicious code? But in a different language, or a hypothetical future version of JavaScript, it might play a role in such a

I guess I have a hard time seeing how Object.freeze() protects against malicious code, when any malicious script can still access the global object? I can understand something like the "Shadow realms" proposal, where a modules acc

Interesting! But I have a hard time understanding the use case in the context of a web page. If you import malicious code in a web app, wouldn't it be able to wreck all kinds of havoc anyway?
217.
by goto11 4y ago
I'm unclear about what kind of threat "freeze" protects against. Is it just protecting against your own mistakes, or against malicious code somehow running in the same JavaScript process?

Optimal for reading prose texts. I believe experiments have shown the optimal line width for reading speed and comprehension to be about 50-60 characters. But as far as I known this have only been researched for reading prose. I doubt the r

This is still not YAGNI enough for me. Why introduce a wrapper you don't need? The thinking behind anti-YAGNI "future proofing" seem to be that it is cheaper to change something now than in the future. But I reject this premi

Perhaps it is easier because Peyton Jones is a world class expert in Haskell and have 30 years experience refactoring it? In my experience the ease of refactoring is more depending on the quality of the code you are refactoring than the lan

Leaning new languages is great fun, but I do think it has diminishing returns when you have covered the major paradigms. The key to growth is to discover new "aspects" where you can broaden your experience, e.g. windows vs unix, d

Linus' point is that safety means something different in kernel programming than in PL theory, and that Rust have to be safe according to kernel rules before it can be used for kernel programming.

It is generally agreed that long narrative poems like Homer was transferred orally for centuries before getting written down the first time.

Sure, but presumably the Sumerians also had a long oral tradition predating writing. It is just that we don't know anything about oral traditions thousands of years ago, since they leave no archeological trace. What we can know about i
