Not just NPM - the "web" is a diverse set of APIs with various peculiarities. It's not inviting to an artist with little to no programming experience (and even with the potential to learn). That was the advantage/disadva

It needs to be able to name a platform, media type, IDE, all at once. E.g., "I'm going to use Flash", "It's a Flash game", "Hold on, let me animate it in Flash". The name should be able to go in domai

BTW, for all the elderly ;) HNers, the mid-twenties came of age during the golden age of Flash, which almost defined the internet at that point in time. Dammit, I'm getting teary-eyed. It was elementary, junior, and high-school for me.

Thank god someone is saying it. ActionScript 3 was my first programming language! Without flash (and I know the many reasons for its extinction), there's nothing that truly "bundles" an interactive experience altogether into

Also don’t brains pursue an analogous, maximally compressed encoding of information via the use of abstractions/ideals and heuristics of probably many many kinds (of course lossy compression would evolve over a “lossless” compression w

Well, for high-level languages like you say. I guess you could say for two languages of the same “abstraction level class”, as terseness would be valued in two low level languages as well - from the humans POV, though! Since this is all rel

O GLORY DAY OUR PAUL HATH RETURNED! Also is Lisp just syntactic sugar over Lambda calculus? All the Lisp people (I.e., the authors of books I’ve skimmed on lisp) worship it, but it’s simply an encoding of a n-ary tree, no? I know you can do

I think people understood my comment neither correctly, and ,it seems, nor in the same way? Anyways, what I was asking was whether there exists a new name for html5? Have people dropped the 5? Comically, it was always a vague, tattered umbr

If you limit it to 1.0 by default across the board, in particular, you mean, right?

Isn't x-ua-compatible not needed or not respected anymore? I think this for some reason... maybe I read it somewhere or concluded so; can't recall, lol.

We need more single page references like this, IMO, for all sorts of random domains. Even something like a single-page reference for how Array.from works in JS, as an example. Even if it were standalone it could later be integrated into a b

Too many people sharing nudes (their own and not their own) and other pornography; for those normal people who stay 50+ miles away from the "chans". Also, I agree with other that spam is cancerous in these messaging apps. Think ab

Ah, I see your point. That is deceptive; I thought it was just generic vitriol. As for me I only _dream_ of dwelling amongst the ranks of the Valley's intelligentsia... many years to go before I proclaim myself a bonafide intellectual

Thank you. Letting rhetoric slip into the mud hasn't served other platforms for discourse well recently (exhibit a: politics).

We're not under any time pressure in this discussion; there's no need to prioritize. Pointing out "low blows" which and writer should strive to be above is pressing, in my opinion.

There is friction here because it’s at the meeting of two languages instead of implementation-interface, or implementation-service. People either try to hide the underlying SQL entirely on the one pole, or attempt to embed a SQL-like DSL wi

I had just heard of it. Looks like what I was getting at. Wish APIs were just exposed through some query language. Don't see apparent harm if it's read-only and permission-restricted.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you can't just keep going and appending more to the path; the metadata document seems to dictate how parameters are applied to resources in the preceding path.

Ask HN: Would allowing multiple querystrings in URLs allow more scalable APIs?
