Can you guys stop spamming the guy's github issues page?

They give folks on HN an opportunity for self promotion, what do you think will happen :)

Guilty as charged :P

They quite literally did ask for it though.

Copyright © 1978-2020 Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Can it be assumed that this same website has been in place since 1978? Obviously not exactly like it is now, but probably not far off.

HTML being from the early 90s or so, I wanna say "no." I wonder what the logic for the 1978 date is. It's hard for me to believe they had any reasonably connected predecessor of this in 1978.

It’s the copyright for the entire website. There’s a letter to shareholders written March 14, 1978 - https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1977.html

I assume you went through the proper channels to get written permission to make that link. From the legal disclaimer at the bottom: > linking to this website without written permission is prohibited

How enforceable is this? And what's the likelihood anyone would try to enforce it?

This makes me happy. My latest project (unreleased) has its entire front page - including CSS, Javascript, and images - served in a single request with an unminified response payload of just over 4k.

Part of what made it possible was the Mu CSS Framework: https://bafs.github.io/mu/

Are you not using an ad blocker? danluu.com has google-analytics, which is a very large script. Please use uBlock Origin.

I don't think an ad blocker should be assumed when calculating the size of a web page.

It would depend on precisely what you're measuring. If you're concerned about page loading speeds, then resources that don't block rendering or functionality (like, I assume, a proper GA integration) might not be worth considering. But if you're worried about, say, bandwidth usage, then of course you'd want to count everything.

This seems to be a common sentiment among developers today but honestly bloat doesn't bother me too much. I do want good performance from my websites, but with fast internet connections, who cares if it is 1KB or 1MB?

Also, if you can develop a website for half the cost with twice the size, isn't that the right thing to do? Developer time is the expensive resource, and bandwidth is cheap.
