I once worked on a team of about 30 people building a website for a university that could have been a team of one dev and one designer and a static site generator.
AR glasses, I'd bet. Interest in smartwatches has remained lukewarm despite years of aggressive improvement. But if a company could put a HoloLens in the frame of a stylish pair of glasses - using AR tech which Apple and Google have both been aggressively innovating on in their respective phone frameworks - I think that could be a very real improvement over these awkward rectangles we have to fumble with and drop and which constantly pull our eyes away from the world around us.

The hardware challenges are significant, but the same was true of the original iPhone. And we know Microsoft and MagicLeap are both making lots of progress - I wouldn't be surprised if Apple and Google are doing their own hardware research.
These are strawmen arguments. No one is arguing that libraries matter more than organizations/teams, and no one is arguing that it's impossible to build good/bad frameworks in any given language/framework/etc. You can (and should!) solve the problems with your teams and your tools. If you pick a tool that solves problems you don't have (probably because it's new and shiny), there are probably hidden costs that you didn't consider and you're probably going to slow your team down. How much that slow down is going to affect your project depends on how significant the slow-down is and how sensitive your project is to developer productivity (the widely used internal tool with the big budget at BIG CORP is probably safe, but the team at the small startup with the shoestring budget and fierce competition is going to feel that friction in a bad way.
I think the main issue is not arguing on scientific facts. It's about arguing on the impacts, outcomes and tradeoffs of policy decisions, which lie far outside the realm of fact and are reasonable to discuss. Many of the faulty reasoning you bring up here are legitimate tradeoffs to discuss.

In particular, the storage requirements, on-demand capacity requirements, and raw material requirements for renewables are real considerations. Abundance, low cost and relative cleanliness of natural gas compared to coal. These should not be hand-waved as against facts, or denigrated in the face of the coming apocalypse.
Honestly as someone who has delivered food, goods, etc finding someone's address can be difficult and sometimes down right annoying. Also consider that delivery drivers may not have full command English.

Except tools like ripgrep aren't equivalent to find + grep. There is no simple invocation of find + grep that does what ripgrep does automatically. `git grep` would be closer.

You talk about being antagonized, but many of your comments in this thread have stated either outright incorrect things, or moved the goalposts, without acknowledging either one even when others point it out. Talk about infuriating.

Parking is hardly the driver of unaffordable housing. Requiring “affordable housing” as a condition of building “market housing” is what makes housing expensive — the market units have to be priced very high to cover the loss from the below market units. It’s essentially rent control on new construction.
It actually gets even more confusing. Desktop mode (what you get when Steam is in desktop mode or you're tabbed out of big picture/TV mode) is completely separate from lizard mode (what you get when Steam isn't running or can't grab the desktop due to UAC/Secure Desktop).

That matters because desktop mode still has customizable keybindings as usual, while lizard mode is completely hard-coded. Lizard mode also (obviously) doesn't support the soft keyboard, which would otherwise have been pretty useful from the lock/login screen.
I really wish awareness of this reached a wider audience, third party advertising is a terrible blight on the web that has been allowed to grow and fester - it supplies no value and compromises both browser security and our peace of mind - being bombarded by these things constantly is training most of us to ignore a lot more and focus on short focused bursts of information...

IMO (and this is really deep into opinion) this has slowly been contributing to the lack of attention spans and un-inquisitive response most people have when things on facebook just straight out tell lies. Web-advertising has such a feeble value for the cost it's exacting.
> About 1.46 billion smartphones were produced in 2018, while 1.56 billion were sold. If production drops back to match lower sales, that could mean 38.44 million fewer phones made. And if all those phones were about the size of an iPhone X, that would mean about 400 pounds each of mined ore, water, and other resources were conserved, a total of 15 billion pounds.

The problem is that capitalism is running on selling always the latest products. The product, in general, shouldn't last long. So even if you don't need a new phone, they are going to force it to you. I don't think this latest trend is going to last. After all, "Smartphone sales will drop 2.5% worldwide by the end of 2019" as it is stated in the article. Not a huge drop.
A few month ago the foldable screens were hyped like crazy. Maybe it was too soon but it could be another differentiator if done well.
The last time I tried to look into this, it seems like there are generally three things happening:

- Venezuelans using Bitcoin mining as a way to arbitrage their subsidized below-market electricity rates into money.

- People suggesting Venezuela as a hypothetical case for a flight to cryptocurrencies in a place undergoing hyperinflation.

- Bitcoin boosters confusing the two (perhaps deliberately) and claiming on thin evidence that Bitcoin use is widespread in Venezuela.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't found anything to indicate that real use of Bitcoin is widespread in Venezuela.

That looks pretty simple in terms of UI...

There certainly are some types of apps that are mind-bogglingly complex (e.g. press play and scroll around on https://kepler.gl/demo/nyctrips for one vivid example) but ironically, the real heavy lifting is mostly done with specialized libraries and super-close-to-the-metal code (GSLS), whereas the "modern" stack only powers the "simple" boxy UI glue stuff.

I can't speak to your specific case, but I've seen a tool "pass" a billion-dollar company's auditing because the scanner they used never got past the login screen and their folks never noticed that fact.
The problem is that a group has decided that hate speech is a critical part of the conservative platform. It isn’t, and there are plenty of conservatives who aren’t hate mongering bigots. But we have an administration that seems hell bent on censoring anything critical of them and claiming that any limits a platform may put up to block racism, violence, or general bigotry as being “censoring conservatives”.

I see no way that this would pass any kind of constitutional review - the fact that this is coming from the same political group that religiously opposed any legislation to limit the ability to sell automatic weapons to people who go on murderous rampages is all the more depressing
You are talking about Win32 legacy API, stuck in Windows XP feature level.

A photograph that's not real big is probably still better suited for JPG. And there's no reason to use GIF for any still image - PNG will be superior in all situations. A moving image may be better off as an MP4 for modern browsers in terms of file size and quality, but there's no mention of that here.

The Changelog 356: Observability is for your unknown unknowns
What would an application platform look like that isn’t a ‘document’ delivery platform? In my opinion, the ability of your browser to be essentially the OS of the web was responsible for the second great explosion in usefulness of computers (the first being the PC itself). Mobile apps were the third, but it’s unclear to me if there’s any benefit to rewriting many (most?) web applications as desktop applications. Discoverability, complexity and debugging costs all go up in such a world.
Isn’t “wine dark” used in Homer to describe the sea at dawn? I’ve associated it to mean dark with a hint of purple from the rising sun — not literally ruby-colored.

It seems odd that English-speaking people would get overly literal about this expression when English itself is full of similar exaggerative coloring: someone “ashen-faced” is presumably not light gray and devoid of hue all over their skin, etc.

I don't understand these distinctions. North Korea doesn't control its population with only boots on the ground, it controls it by controlling the border (with ships), the political arena (with nukes), and by controlling infrastructure like roads, food distribution, media (with tanks, artillery, and manpower.) The US government doesn't need to control every person to control the population, it just needs to control its strategic assets, and it can do that with drones, bombs, tanks, etc just fine. If you can't get food because your crops are defoliated and your roads are barricaded, you're not resisting for very long.

Anyway, the argument here is as much about the government controlling the people as it is about the people controlling the government. If the US government turned against its own people militarily, the only way you could recover is if you could regain control of the military and turn it back against the government or if you could somehow get a more powerful military to overthrow it. A revolution from within can only succeed if it controls the actual military.
I think we've provided some evidence that suggests there at least might be a problem.

Publishing a rigorous scientific paper saying "well look, here's the problem" is going to be difficult, given the issues such a paper would address. It could be career suicide if handled indelicately.

Given that we have weak evidence that there is a problem, the burden of proof is now on you to provide stronger evidence that there isn't a problem, unless we have a strong prior for there not being a problem or something.

Applying higher standards to things you disagree with is a great way to end up biased. If you require a well reviewed research paper showing that there is a problem, you should also require a similar paper showing you there isn't a problem.

At the very least trying to provide a counter viewpoint to the evidence you've already being presented with would be polite.
This is great perseverance on your part. I feel overwhelming joy for you all. Congratulations.

Yes. Deleting code is my favorite type of programming.
If you only need a static website then it's a great solution.

But it is NOT hard to start running into barriers. In my experience it's essentially impossible to use it as a frontend design tool with say a node.js backend. There's no templating support, very restricted export (their CMS costs extra per site, and isn't part of the export), etc.

If your website has a login button then I'd be impressed if you designed the whole thing in webflow.

Science-based tips to sleep better
I switched into a block all scripts by default web stance a while back and am continuously amused by how operable different sites are, some degrading relatively gracefully, some just going white screen (usually SPA of some sort) other sites go totally wonky when they find themselves unable to rewrite the DOM and style rules to render the page as they want - sorta close to that old occurrence when CSS would fail to download and you'd have a giant <ul> block that was being restyled as a menu... but far more disappointing because there is really no reason to push styling into JS and so many out-of-the-box responsive style frameworks at this point.
You don't even need storage solutions if you keep sufficient gas/coal on standby. But somebody must pay for these because they don't get many hours of use.

If it is just validation a js framework would be overkill.

jQuery would fit well here.
I don’t think added complexity is a ‘feature’ us front end devs strive for. Instead, there are a lot of useful UX abstractions that are increasingly expected by users and are becoming extraordinarily tricky to roll on your own. Yeah there’s tons of extra crap, but the 8000+ projects in most node_modules has become more or less the standard library for that projects developer. It’s nuts, but JavaScript is the Wild West so it’s what we deal with.
I totally agree. My point was:

> This is not engineering a project to be "simply secure", in the sense that it is definitely not simple and probably not secure!

Messy, duplicated code that re-invents the wheel hides security bugs.

Saying "Windows has security issues, so I'm going to write my own operating system for my software" doesn't mean you can't knock it out of the park and make the most secure operating system ever... but I wouldn't exactly bet on that being the case.

I imagine it would be pretty easy for the js to just remove the element from the DOM and replace it with a similarly styled input if all we are doing is stopping it reading the contents of the password input
I've gone down this road years ago.

While there's no install and initial results are quick to appear, the false positives that grep or any string search tool generates will make the cynics shoot down this simple attempt to find problems in the source code.

Problems that arose:

- what about use of those questionable APIs/constants in strings (perhaps for logging) or in comments?

- some of the APIs listed in the article were only questionable when certain values were used - sometimes you can get grep/search tool of choice to play along, but if the API call spans multiple lines or the constant has been assigned to a variable that is used instead, then a plain string search won't help.

- it's hard to ignore previously flagged but accepted uses of the API/constants.

- so there's a possible bug reported, but devs usually want to see the context of the problem (the code that contains the problem) quickly/easily. Some text editors can grok the grep output and place the cursor at the particular line/character with the problem, some can't.

If you go down that road to try and reduce false positives, you'll end up with a parser for your development language of choice.

It's probably more practical to build modern sailing ships than to try to electrify bulk overseas cargo shipping

Back in the heyday of the battleship, replacing the engine was one of the things it wasn't worth doing. It's so hard to do, you might as well just build a new ship. I have no idea if this is still true, or not. Construction techniques have come a long way.
