you're advocating diversity against monoculture. Only nature has muse enough for such.

> automate not yet, but I think of a delayed shell script (cron 15min?). JS (clientside) may be not of much use. Or use a feedback webform via https://github.com/mro/form2xhtml - doesn't have to be email then.

nice. You're working regularly on the website. Not all do.

> We don't want to sculptors. It is really sad that you are forced to do things that you believe you are not capable of doing and refuse to do.

You won't be a sculptor if you avoid the chisel. If in rome, do as the romans do. If you want to swim, you'll get wet. There is no design in/for the web without html+css, is there? Edit: by removing 3rd parties from your proj

do you know the matrix movie quote "but there is no spoon" – maybe the framework you look for is vanilla CSS. Write sensible markup to hold your content (almost no divs), CSS it and be good. Sounds that feasible?

embracing outages, though reducing them, is revolutionary, I guess. Just not serving everybody all the time.

I don't think testing is the silver bullet here – it's about system boundary awareness.

I wonder what academia (sociology, anthropology) says about the issue. Any pointers?

humans are herd animals after all. The herd must be right. Always. Being reliable (in dire crisis) means being trusted without thought. Surviving with such firmware is what shaped us.

nice hints, thanks for posting! And indeed Greta is right.

indeed. A constitutional property of a network is it's volatility. Nodes may fail. Edges may. You may not. Or you may. But then you're delivering no reliabilty but crap. Nice sunshine crap, maybe.

lol, you mean everything is more work than just letting things crumble. Fine then, but not cool.

Yes, sensibly designed deployments are single file. It's super important for maintainability of operation.

I guess you mean the names. Names are almost never descriptive, barbarr, are they?

> the internal page navigation to always point to the latest version of each page, Let the webserver redirect the uri without version to the most recent one. Problem solved. Remember, redirects are valid, logical uris.

by mro_name 5y ago
you exaggerate by far. "After the next redesign" becomes "foerever" and why not risk appearing uncool in case?

thanks, a chain of proper redirects ending with a 200 constitutes a cool uri for me. So what's the commenter's problem? Can anybody elaborate? @tingletech? @laristine?

by mro_name 5y ago
a content-derived uri is a necessity for some things (indisputable facts, scientific papers, opinions at a moment in time, etc.) but foolish for others. Think of a website displaying the current time or anything inherently mutable. But havi

do you know some nice examples of medium complexity that you can show for inspiration?
