If you have built something worth lasting 100 years, other people will help you ensure that it does. That reduces the concerns in this article considerably.

I think you're reasoning about this backwards. They don't worry about setting harder spending limits because the revenue continues to increase. If the revenue cut back, you call it…

The people criticizing AMP are not necessarily the same people "loading up simple web pages with hundreds of scripts."

Google AMP is merely the next iteration of Google Sites.

A list comprehension is still a for loop. Using `for x in list` instead of `for i in len(list)` is a nice bit of sugar, but still a for loop. That said, high-performance Python doe…

PL/SQL is not SQL.

Actually launching? YAGNI. We can easily implement that if it ever comes up.

Sure, they exist. But pointing out that they exist is not "show me what I need to know to do what I do." Instead, the next high-profile HN Haskell link will be the thousandth demo/…
