Even if the author claimed communication was E2E encrypted, you'd still need to trust that they did it properly and weren't intentionally siphoning data.

Look a lot like C#, which I guess was an inspiration. What be are advantages over C#?

Sure, but the government also desperately needed a vaccine. It wasn’t exactly a buyers marker…

What’s the corpus that’s searched?

by rp1 5y ago
A search engine could replace a another search engine, but it’d need a better take than just being German. Google wasn’t the first search engine after all.

What percentage of websites is it possible to determine the language? My guess is not many. Your metric self-selects for recognizing PHP sites because of Wordpress.

I’m curious what metric you’re using to determine that a majority of the web is running on PHP.

Django was released shortly after Rails. Ruby and Python developers _needed_ to build something like Rails and Django because those languages didn’t promote the same type of script-as-html pattern that PHP did. Had more thought gone in to s

A lot of people 10+ years ago were building websites by interpreting PHP and using the output as HTML. The language (at the time) seemed to encourage this. I agree that PHP is not a framework, but it seemed to have some opinion on how HTML

I imagine the reason is that the max load on a single server is O(log log number of servers), but it’s not possible for all the servers to be at max load. For instance, imagine load balancing via random assignment. The theoretical max load

Having .com in the name is hilarious.

I haven’t used PHP in over a decade. I can never forgot how much PHP got wrong in terms of how application development on the internet would happen. The ergonomics of using it were just… bad compared to other frameworks that came on the mar

It’s probably a simple calculation. Those who watch less than $monthy_price hours of content are likely to cancel.

It’s not really a conspiracy because it’s a single company acting in its best interests. They came up a lot in Epic’s lawsuit against Apple. https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/6/22421912/iphone-web-app-pw...

Adding on to this, WebRTC really doesn't work well, especially on mobile. Also, you can't set the volume on video and audio elements on mobile, which really limits what you can do. The audio context implementation is also pretty b

I don't think this is true. Safari has terrible audio and video support, including for WebRTC. The reason is clear: they want people to use apps instead of webpages.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Graham is not saying that taste is quantifiable or identifiable via public opinion or consensus, so I'm not sure how the situation of 20 people in a room evaluating taste is relevant.

But subjectiveness applies to everything. For instance, whether or not something is moral is subjective, and yet there is a collective notion of morality.

The idea that zoning is the issue is always funny to me because it’s very easy to disprove. Plenty of paces in the US have permissive zoning (like the NY metro area). If zoning was the issue, then one would expect affordable housing in thes

I think you’re taking too narrow a definition of skill. True, drawing a straight line is a skill, but the vision to draw a particular line in an innovative way is also a skill.
143.
by rp1 5y ago
What other considerations are there other than skill? Isn’t everything a skill? Graham lists a few other extraneous concerns that people judge art by. He asserts these are unrelated to the art itself, like which museum the art is hanging in

I guess my point was that a "finders fee" is fair. If you push the boundary of human progress, you're allowed to exploit your discovery a bit.

by rp1 5y ago
Using the energy to build infrastructure is just the finders fee. Doesn’t make sense to keep doing something known to be unsustainable. That’s a tragedy of the commons

Your argument is essentially asks why have laws at all. The Polish government has made it clear they don’t want immigrants in this fashion by passing immigration laws. Sometimes enforcing the law costs money.

Is there evidence that these people are truly seeking asylum and not opportunists? From the portrayal in the media, it seems as if the Belarusian government was advertising taking flights to Minsk as a way of immigrating to Europe. Separate

The call for NATO to act just further embarrasses the EU. How can the EU not handle something basic like protecting its own border? How can they allow an EU airplane to be taken out of the sky to kidnap an EU resident? How can they even con

Im not denying that the eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to flourish, but you can’t ignore that Western Europe stagnated for almost 1000 years.
