Unlike Elm, does Gren allow community packages hosted outside of Microsoft GitHub or is that same lock-in retained?

IE7 was the oldest version I ever had to support--I understand it being a pain and there is always a cut-off point. This said, not JavaScript is often an option too for entire categories of the web ...and I say this as someone whose caree

No script is also a place for normal fallbacks where relevant in a multi-page app such as a static image instead of an interactive SVG. You can let crawlers and scrapers that don’t execute JavaScript know what content should be there. There

Nope. You can see it in Brave search results. It’s also a massive barrier for a small start-up to index the web if it has to expend resourses to download and execute JavaScript. More generally, there’s also web scrapers (the good kind), TUI

A lot of the web is full of sludge—blog spam, analytics, advertising, unnecessary motion. A lot of these files are large and take time to execute for marginal benefit (or negative benefit with tracking). Opting in on a per-site basis can sa

As time has gone on, more and more folks recommend disabling JavaScript as the default behavior and opting in on a per-site basis. This is easy to do with uBlock Origin. This isn’t a broken browser behavior but a conscious decision for the

I opt in to JavaScript—not fully disabled. When there’s a compelling reason to enable it, I do, but if a site shows me nothing, it gives me nothing to work with. I run TUI browsers semi-regular though and they’ll never show me anything. Sla

Could & should things be better by default? Sure, but in practice, all of the proprietary software I don't trust but need to run for work all have a web app that is sandboxed in the browser which is generally good enough for my thr

Tangent to sibling comments, you are free to make overlays akin to compile derivations with Gentoo-style machine architecture optimizations.

No mention of the ongoing lawsuit and licensing situation of input and output code as to why many in the HN crowd would give it a negative review?

Guess you should just check all your secrets into source control. That would be easier too.

It's not required but it’s a best practices to not get your secrets into the nix store. There are solutions like env vars or Agenix.

And if you want to preach the virtues of FOSS of your product, you’d offer FOSS real-time communications as at least an option. Slap in IRC, an XMPP MUC, Matrix Space. You could bridge to (not from) Discord as a second-class option if it

Lack of types hurts. Then there's the 1-base indexing that bothers many. The whole "tables" concept is kinda weird—and this makes more complex kinds of programming difficult/unergonomic. Luckily like JavaScript, there ar

If it doesn’t involve my free labor training machine learning models like reCAPTCHA and hCAPTCHA and I can still visit sites from a non-Western IP, then it’s already an improvement.

I wouldn’t disagree, but it’s like stepping into the kiddy pool without bothering to learn to swim to unlock all the other opportunities to swim (and possibly save others too).

So we just sweep basic accessibility and best practices under the rug because it’s common to screw it up? A little public shame should inspire the webmaster and comment readers to double-check their websites.

That's a use case, but for from the best. Nix lets you create immutable, reproducible packages/OSs/deploys--and can be built on arbitrary fleets of machines with shared caches. Just bringing in tools to the developer enviro

I host Mumble/Murmur for multiuser VoIP as it’s super lightweight and the noise cancelling + mute options are convenient. For 1-on-1 calls, I just use XMPP (Prosody) with TURN (coturn) and it’s handled video just fine. I’ve not had a r
