FB is already in those markets. FB and Instagram are every bit as much fantasy land as Second Life. I agree with you that the social dynamics are different.

This actually was helpful. Some constructive feedback, the code sample only had mixed-case/capital letters in the "font-family" value. It would be better to use a code sample that had more mixed-case. I also like the idea oth

The article states a couple times in the opening paragraphs that the API is about sanitizing dynamically generated HTML, "Many websites rely on dynamically generated content in the browser. Often, the generated markup includes content

What was Apple's market share of desktops at the time? And whether you were talking people through a Trumpet WinsSock install or I was doing it in person, it wasn't going to get done that way, just too slow. Sure lots of physical

IMHO what changed in 1995, was MS adding TCP/IP to Windows 95. Prior to that you had fight with dial-up, Trumpet Winsock, PPP and PPTP to get on the internet at all. Most normal people still couldn't do it without help, but it mov

Yea, I'm afraid that's not so. In 1993, I was running a WildCat BBS and I was way more hyped about that and it's RIP graphics, lol. The only way I could get on the internet at all was through other peoples university accounts

Your welcome. I read it back when, and it's been helpful to me over the years.

This article is a poor choice for submission. He did a companion article that is the exact opposite, and a follow-up article a year later. The follow-up would be a much better choice. It gives links to both prior articles and his thoughts a

I think finding mentors is a great idea, but I think one thing you, and the parent comment are missing is, an "elite organization" in what arena? Of what sort? For a truly different software development process, with totally diffe

I am in agreement with you precisely because I wasn't trying to contradict the original comment. I did want to correct their statement about intrinsic value because others will accept it as fact without understanding that things can be

Exactly. We're just seeing Rust spun out of the Servo effort, does anyone really doubt that Rust can and will be used to write code that will benefit the web? Most importantly Mozilla helps the web just by keeping FF going. Conversely

> Goods and services provided by humans have no intrinsic value but become precious simply there being demand by other humans. This incorrect. I can purchase a home or food from humans and they have intrinsic value. If whatever market th

Agreed. I recently started exploring Twitch and in the first hour of just sitting there watching it, I was surprised how aggressively, exploitative it was. The fact that it's young people there exploiting makes it even more gross.

Ultimately I think you are right, but I don't think this is the right way to think about the question. It's not as though they thought they were creating a monolith on purpose by following a pattern for creating monoliths. They th

One downside of both hierarchical and network (graph) models that is not mentioned either in the post or parent comment is, "access path dependence". Network model allows multiple paths but basically just forestalls the issue. As

I was on the fence about this comment. I was contemplating whether or not it was authentic. Then I got to the part about the dog, and I decided, "This guys alright by me."

Cool ty, I'm going to check out radeontop. RE: the article, I also built a 100% amd desktop (in 2020) for Linux. Wayland, sway, vaapi, pipewire, etc... all working without drama. I've considered posting about it somewhere, but jus

This, "...other than that mozilla wanted to invent something." Is not what happened. The browser vendors; Apple, MS, Google and Mozilla, whatever their reasons, decided they were going to kill Java and Flash in the browser. They t

So when FF reduces customization by changing the extension system they are bad. When they let you customize the UI ad-infinitum through userChrome.css it's because, "its UI is THAT bad.". Right, got it, FF bad. Some of the de

I think the example in the readme is presented and worded in a confusing way, "Finally, we need to be able to react to any produced messages and change our state accordingly in our update logic:". Since your referencing the Elm ar
