How much of this hinges on having enough tooling to be able to efficiently explore/prototype/abuse your ideas?

Hmm, didn't get that vibe at all. Tone came off as a little exasperated to me, but mostly all about giving enough background to back up the claims

The thing that's interesting is that quite frequently the site or page I am searching for shows up as an ad as well as an organic result. While I've trained myself to ignore ad results, I find myself feeling guilty when in this si

It's certainly confusing to novices when the phone says one thing, and the community says something completely different.

It'd be nice for GitHub to prevent (or at least annoy) people who make "+1" comments e.g. "Did you mean to subscribe instead?"

Performance is often cited as the "big win" that React brings to web development; I really wish that wasn't the focus that (what seems like) most people take. The DOM isn't (that) slow; it's all the crap we do to it

TL;DR for those reacting to the title, but not reading the entire article: Unikernels are young, and lack tooling/robustness that we have in more traditional approaches. They are not production ready yet , but will likely become a pr

The thing is, most developers aren't targeting your scraper. At most they're targeting Google's, which can handle all sorts of whacky and not very semantic markup - and glean a decent amount of semantic structure from it.

Yeah, and you can implement that in C++ very easily, too. Googlers might recognize StatusOrReturn, and similar macros.

Same for me. I tried really hard to enjoy Go, but it became an incredibly frustrating experience. The language itself was frustrating to me in many of the ways outlined in the article. The community was similarly frustrating. One anecdote t

I think the main thing that hamstrung Object.observe was that observations were asynchronous (scheduled as a microtask). It made data flow very difficult to follow for developers (particularly when driven by data binding systems).

If you're building your website to behave well on mobile devices, you're likely implementing your own touch handlers and are not using click events to begin with.
