PPK (whom you cite) is an extreme conservative for the web, as are many many forces about. I don't think it's possible to have this conversation. People have a deep belief about what they want from the web, and a ton of people wan

India is blocking a bunch of the IPs. Here's a new acronym for us: "Problem Exists Between User And Internet; PEBUI. This is definitely the next 5 years+ of computing. More and more nations making more and more wild ass decision

This is an interesting angle. I don't know how I feel about it in net, but I definitely agree that there's been huge brain-drain to the very big. It's been enormously hard to make new things happen when the old titans pay so

Actually, that's not true. Actually actually says, "this is true."

Computing needs new paradigms forms & structures to become legible. Your timeline is absurd to me. How long did it take for writing to become useful? Yet you expect the world will adapt & become competent... in this? What we have no

I think we've become obsessed with the conservative, scared, frightened, what-about-the-potential-for-abuse viewpoint. Because, in large part, it's the only view we can talk about & sell. Everything else is esoteric & tech

I dunno, this feels depressing to me. The new PR campaigns being about lower-common-denominators is sad news. Alas there's basically just Firefox, Safari, and Chrome in the running. Firefox & Safari are both aligned around anti-fea

I really am not sure whether CoAP is helping or hurting. Http is already so simple. I really worry this is distinction without cause & that it makes what should be normal-ish mundane computing special.

There's no other tool anywhere near as useful on the planet for seeing what you are doing. DataDog is amazing. Stunning instrument of revelation. It's a ton of money but also., as others have said, Coindesk was rolling in money &a

It's a personality thing, that some people are more liable to downvote. The definition of an illiberal society is one that will not consider other views. There are factions & forces, which tend towards certain views, which areess t

India seems increasingly terrifying illiberal. I can respect that they have problems & are in search of trying to be a higher trust society, but the man, they really don't seem very well aligned on open society western democratic i

I run into way more and more. Apologies for lack of links. But I see far less US open source big projects, more Chinese & others. Apisix is a great api gateway with ton of Chinese drivers. I swear I have a bunch of other places I'v

He doesn't reject the light side in Anakin. He still accepts the dual, even as he sees his mentee going darker & darker side. He isn't dealing in absolutes. He is highlighting an extreme end. Thank you one of thr replies (#2

Basically yes but I do somewhat appreciate the haptic interfaces (not enough to buy it) and I also deeply respect that it is a 4 channel recorder (also not enough to buy it). It gets my goat that these systems are so stingy on channels. Add

Private fields were such a sad step for JS. Everything should be a first-class entity. Making invisible silent features of JS feels like such a sad outside ask. I want to carve some space for code securely dealing with other code, but I don

No but it correlates. There's so plenty of people corrupted by their puritanicalism, who disagree too strongly with the world & what happens. But good people, in most cases, have an ethos that drives them, aren't passively jus

I have very very rarely seen corporate cultures where teams genuinely are open to & expect real feedback. The corporate body beedply deeply intermediates & creates a huge mostly-fluff zone.

Bundling io into the cost. Interesting/smart idea. I am curious how much pay-per-use aspect is lost here, if any. We have 5 hours of huge peak usage a day. Will this still scale up & down through our usage elegantly still? I don&#x

I'm a high dpi/tiny font person too. I still use font size 14+ even with a very close to face small display. My belief is that higher dpi isn't useful or necessary. I can read font size 8 on a low dp display fine & not co

I generally am open to the idea, but starting your defense with "actually" says your judgement is perfect & all that counts. I think more humility & willingness to say we don't know yet is essential. We don't kno

This strikes so near & dear to my big feels. Tech sees itself as the reasoned expert intermediary. We have personas and product to guide us to the ideal solution. But the truth is, tech is better when it's not so pretentious. We do

Dis-intermediating & making tech real again, a genuine experience, feels like the only conceivable path through. I think you're both super on key here, but the analog mentality feels like trying to gear back down when I strongly th

Great point. I need to test this more & find out. I have seen a bunch of changes in the past year go by about how scrubbing is prioritized & what capacity it is allocated. On the one hand, unsettling. But also, good to see folks are

There is a great lovely w3c spec to do Chromecast, but as an open protocol. A remote control protocol for the web. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol I really hope we can do it. So far it's almost exclusive
