New York was also very poor, barring some rich businessmen. You have to look at it relatively to its surrounding. Of course there were poor people too, but they lived in the “subur…

Underdeveloped by whose standard? An underdeveloped city does not seek independence. You have to place it in its context. It probably was not the poorest city by a long shot even a…

I always find it awkward to compare city-states to regular-sized countries. There is no “rural Singapore.” A lot of these independent cities are tiny because they were rich and pow…

> residential routers plus a USB stick will make this more possible. This smells like "let them eat cake" except in the context of technology. Not everyone is able or even wants to…

That page looks great, I don't know what you're talking about. Are you bothered by 2 very plain gradients? I don't see candy at all

I suppose nobody can ask about résumé anymore

Your parents’ ADSL noodle soup is a little bland.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm glad that there's a way

Kids can't explain their emotions. Non-developers can't tell what's wrong with websites. Just because they don't complain about something specifically, it doesn't mean that they do…

The problem with SVG is that it performs terribly especially when compared with Flash. This site is relatively small and it's super slow on an i9

To me it sounds like the author has nearly-zero experience in web development and thus prefers publishing websites straight out of Illustrator.

Your site is laggy, zero accessibility, microscopic text unless your window is large enough, does not support anything you'd expect from a regular website. Just ship a PDF already.…

This kind of stuff ought to be regulated somehow, one can’t lose access to one’s life. I recently wasn’t able to recover an old account because I did not have access to my 2FA numb…

Goat: 45cm Duck: 50cm Might as well say “shuffled emojis with random data attached”

I hate it when ignorant people talk out of their asses.

Lol ok. Maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about. They are 2 separate optimizations. Repeat after me: gzip does not replace minification. But I’m glad you ship your handrolle…

Wrong. Of course if you use a minifier you save bytes, it’s by definition. A decent built tool can still start from static files but also optimize them as much as possible. If ther…

Yes but they can still: - block the company nationwide, see Huawei (also includes ceasing contracts with app stores, both of which are American) - block access to your website, see…

WhatsApp has its own backups in addition to regular full-phone iCloud backups. If WhatsApp does not encrypt its content at rest locally, then “iCloud backups” still contain everyth…

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think showing a string on screen requires React or any other view library. I’d probably paint it on canvas and then overlay an invisible plaintext n…

It’s funny that your complaint about opaque answers got responses that imply that performance doesn’t matter. What this tells me is that Caddy is slower than its competitors and th…

To be fair, HTTPS by default makes perfect sense for a server. Of course the more complex the setup, the more you’re going against the defaults. It’s impossible to have defaults th…
