I agree with you. I was certainly t aggressive in time frame, but I still agree with the sentiment. We shouldn't have failed decade old features in a browser. As to point 1, you are correct and this is certainly true, however I wish it

Sure, but presumably a browser and the codebase has to support all of the apis and the entire specification. Would it not be able to optimize a browser if say, as the article claims, olnly ~17% of the features/apis need to be supported

Again, I am aware of what the behavior is, although this was a nice refresher and I appreciate it ;) The joke was, of course, surrounding the Mozilla incedent where Brendan Eich stepped down from his position as CEO apparently because of a

I am aware. It was a bad joke.

That was the point. If a feature wasn't great enough to inspire 1 out of 20 developers to experiment with it, then I don't think it makes sense.

I don't know this to be true, but my assumption as someone not building the interpreter/vms for JS is that if you eliminated all of that shit you could probably get a much better optimization from your engine. ALso, security was t

Brave software. This was created by Brendan Eich the x ceo of mozilla. Eich does seem to have some problems with equality[0] which may have contributed to his ouster at Mozilla, but Brave is a top shelf browser. Super great team, pretty sec

Ok, this seems interesting. However, unless I am misunderstanding this, of the large table they used for the bulk of the articles content they only showed 6 features under utilized. Obviously, we could prune the execution of some of the JS

essentially something like f.lux presumably.

yeah. I am getting downvoted, but I am totally with you here. The arguments above seem nonsensical, e.g. tradition, resistance to change, not having the resources (except large media companies, i.e. the subject of this discussion who have t

Presumably to create art/conepts that don't exist in real life and thus can't be photographed... My point is that, you have a fairly known batch of charachters, obviously you can't (and probably shouldn't) eliminate

The notes say it is computationally expensive and bad for performance. Using this selector heavily can have performance implications, as it may force the browser to re-render the page before it can determine visibility. Tracking the v

I mean, could I teach myself Java and build something interesting in a month. Sounds like a no?

Given that video games exist, thus it is clearly possible to animate highly diverse and dynamic scenary and complex interactions, why the hell are people drawing scenes still? That was never explained well.

i actually have been interested in Java because apache has open sourced what seems to be the best collection of resources on the internet and they are almost entirely written in java for the java ecosystem. I also think I would learn a mass

This is awesome. If you want a cool side project, you should definitely make this into a kerbal space program like game where you build quantum computers & optimization patterns. It would probably be super fun for you to build and also

The thing is, information is the weapon of the 21st century. We are already litigating the cold war in the 3 most popular courts: the olympics, the media, and financial markets. We cooperate with China, but what will become obvious if a hor

Again, I am not trying to justify my decision, I think if you asked most developers to give advice to a kid learning programming 3 years ago how to get started(with the benefit of 3 years glance into the future) they would probably lean tow

I still sort of stand by those statements, but again that was based on a beginners completely incorrect view of the world. However, to add a bit more color to those statements which maybe you can infer how I think about programming? I meant

If I understand you correctly, and I am not sure that I do, I think we are in agreement. My point above was that no one wants to watch commercials. The parent pointed out people don't hate them, and I flippantly and sarcastically tri

Yeah, I found that weird. However, if I think deeply about it, given the move to micro-services and soa type architectures I can see elixir winning longer term which is really railsy. regardless, rails has a ton of influence and some great

I haven't used rails in about 3 years (when I first started programming) and I only built 1 application which was a super shitty weekend instagram clone that didn't really work well. I didn't want to use rails anymore because

you know, this was a pretty good rebuttal. The interesting thing here is that this is the total opposite of the internet. Content creators (and content) is virtually worthless and interchangeable, while the "catalog" is virtuall

You can see my response above, and I haven't used it in a year so I am not sure. My experience is based on using it for about a 1 week period once a year before getting frustrated. I started in ~2012-2013ish. However, hbo go started ge

I think this is cool, but as an aside, what is up with the influx of css libraries on HN? Nothing against them, but there has been 1 or 2 in the top spot for the last few days. edit: Including this ~3-4 in the last 5 days. Not staggering, j

This does make a lot of sense and I thought about it and is verifiably a series of true statements and rhetorical questions that drive home a point that is correct. However, it is totally unrelated to the development of a product that took

This is fair. For me, this is a case where it is likely as narrowly annoying as helpful, and thus a no-win situation. Some sites I use are respnsible allowing you to copy an ip address on click, or a cryptocurrency wallet address on click,
