> And how do I build offline-first web applications with HTML over the wire?!? I can't give you an perfect answer, because I am not aware of a practical example. But I think its qu…

What I've feel is ignored in the community is that actual backend development never reached a point of wide adoption with javascript/node. Certainly node and alikes are used to del…

Reread your and the previous post. You make hardly a point towards it. What is new with streaming is that music is much faster produced, consumed and forgotten. Streaming is part o…

I remember that my suggestions were pretty obscure the last time I tried the spotify algo. But actually it is pretty natural that they suggest niche or less known artists because t…

Don't wonder. Just be realistic. Did you ever work in an IT business environment? Remember the situations when good taste slowly morphed into business interests? Yeah, that's natur…

Yes context switching is a huge cognitive load. Abstractions enforce context switching.

Without public pressure it is not going to happen. German politicians have been positive towards this move recently (althought without mentioning it is already in progress). Sadly …

This discussion just cares about the extremes. Maybe there are lonely people that get milked on behalf on parasocial relationships. Maybe there are rich people that like streaming …

Vice versa no exercise can compensate a horrible chair.

You missed the point. He said games do not generate anything materially useful. His intend here was to trivialize the true value of games and still giving them the honor of being w…

Just two more generations and writing vanilla js/css is an elitist skill for ancient blue whales.

The most enjoyable interfaces in games are often simple, functional and still match the theme. Yet many games go over the top with fancy artwork and god forbid time stealing animat…

rm -rf on root will query for confirmation. Not sure if this happens on all systems or even all top level directories.

Cannot fully agree. I use adblockers since their invention. Twitter and reddit need more than 5 seconds to load for me on mobile wifi. Ads have their impact but it's not the sole p…

Cold caches are common for users.

Should be done only if you have to load lots of small images. If you want to render above the fold fast reduceassets there and load them directly.

As usual. People have criticism. Counter critics say get smarter. The problem is that we are dealing with largely unproven concepts. We have no facts, not even meaningful empiric i…

Auto translation is probably a big deal for yt/google long-term. If they maintain/achieve dominance in this field they're practically the only one to have detailed insight and anly…

Slightly OT: I use private tabs and write my banks URL by hand and log in via 2FA. Are there cases or have there been attempts to poison the users address bar history with maliciou…

> This is happening because we’re reaching the end of the current stage of capitalism and need a new paradigm for the 21st century. Can anyone explain how to find the end of capita…

Maybe I am grumpy but OP doesn't construct strong arguments either. I assume that under certain circumstances psychology would give some arguments against this form of communicatio…

DRY is not very useful as a concept. It doesn't define any rules how to identify bad repeated code, nor how to change it and doesn't define limitations of the concept or it's appli…

Thanks a lot for response and sources. Will look at them now.

That sounds like myriads of programmers have done it wrong for decades. Can you elaborate on this and maybe add a few sources?

Pick a web app that can render without JS. Then remove all JS and they will render 5x faster. Some aspects of computers got better, sure. But the web is at an super shitty state. I…
