Unless we're talking about different things, cache manifest is an HTML 5 feature designed to enable websites to work offline. That's quite different from HTTP-level caching, which would be applicable to any files/resources an

That is true in most cases, but versioned URLs are a hack that requires you to change document's address and then change a bunch of other documents just to fix an issue with HTTP. It's like changing file content and their names to

HTTP caching is a mess. I wonder why no one proposed a properly redesigned and negotiable protocol that covers all the edge cases. (And maybe supports partial caching/partial re-validation of pages.)

Well, there are ML algorithms that can be interrogated about their reasoning. One type is symbolic systems that use data to generate or "tune" their rules. Another one is stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/wa

Systems that outperform doctors in some specific area of diagnostics aren't new. One of the earliest examples of such systems is Mycin [1], which also was developed at Stanford, but around forty-something years ago. Never went to produ

This sounds painful, but it also sounds fairly typical. Except usually such work is split between several different people/positions. No one thinks about it, but one of the main reasons this kind of stuff stays manual is because the ty

I would add virtual files and filesystems to the list. We take them for granted, but without files we would probably stuck with storing everything in a giant database a=la Windows registry. That would make a lot of things complicated and so

Similarly, compression can be seen as a logical product of Information Theory. But I'm not sure it would go anywhere beyond theory without computers.
