I'd say it should be rephrased as "could only name a color as categorically distinct from others" to make it more obvious. If you're asked if something is blue or red, then turquoise would definitely be described as blue, but green also. It's not that you wouldn't see the difference between sky and grass, it's just that you'd classify it all as a different shades of the same color, as it's closer to it than to say red. On the other hand yellow would probably be a shade of light red in that example. Once you're used to that palette you'd start simply ignoring the differences in shade for practical usages, like for instance Cambridge Blue is called blue, while to me it's really green.
Im not sure I follow. Are you saying you don't understand why people who stare at letters on a screen all day every day for a living might have an interest in the fonts used on said screen?
Hmm, yeah, that does look affordable. Lots of ads on ebay.

"Lot of 25 Pano Logic Thin / Zero Desktop Client Black w/ Power Supply

Buy now: US $170.00"

I wonder what the thinking was that lead Pano Logic to put expensive FPGAs inside these units, instead of some more typical cheap ARM SoC?

Edit: Ah, they operated in 2006-2012. I guess that was just before the rise of the very cheap/fast SoCs.
> I compare the experience to living in a hotel vs. living at home

This is very apt. If we've all grown out of our parents' basements when we left /., then let me share my own analogy.

When SSHing into different servers I used to bring my .vimrc and .bashrc along with me, because how could you live without them? Likewise for switching computers, you bring along your config files. When a new job required me to be at lots of different computers, and SSH into lots of different servers, I also made a conscious effort to reduce my dependency on customization. That's when I developed my significantOther vs girlInEveryPort modes of operation.

In significantOther mode of operation, I invest the time to customize the environment so that it is perfect for _me_. This is like looking for a woman to marry. It takes time, and the first woman (or config setting) has no more chance of being the best as does the twentyith. We invest much time finding on what we _can_ compromise, and on when we cannot.

In girlInEveryPort mode of operation, I have little problem using vanilla VIM and standard Bash. I might stumble a bit and touch her in ways she doesn't like, but overall we get the job done and nothing is broken afterwards.

The perfect balance for me was to discover that I could have both modes of operation.
A good programming font helps avoid confusion. For example, it should be clear if a character is l, I, or 1 without having to see them next to each other (also o, O and 0 as well as others). A font should also make reading code as pleasant as possible (though of course this is highly subjective).

When you consider that programmers spend most of their time reading code, it's not surprising that many programmers care about the font being used.
Not just superpowers; even the minor powers would likely evaluate their options. Humorously, if the US tried to go completely pacifist then it would be very politically contentious and it might get 'invaded' by one of its own States. Something like a Texas-Mexico alliance, perhaps.
Former Imgur engineer here who worked on the desktop site and helped on mobile when I could. A lot of the code that is loaded supports features that are used by a long tail of users [1]. However, they do serve the javascript with appropriate cache-control headers and serve them from Fastly's CDN so analyzing a cold load is a bit misleading to say the least. Moreover, as other commentators have mentioned, they optimized more for the subsequent images than the initial pageloads (they'd prefetch the next N images).

Keep in mind Imgur is not a large company despite their high traffic, even at their peak of employees the engineering team was pretty small (probably about 12-15 people after series A), and the mobile web team in particular was a handful of people, with a handful of people on iOS and Android, and a handful of people on desktop/backend/API (where I worked).

That said, I think Alan does care about these things. I know at some point they did support NoScript and did care about the experience with JavaScript off (and had code to support uploading images and viewing images with no JavaScript at all). But it's hard to have it as your top priority when Reddit and Instagram are trying to eat your lunch.

I'm sympathetic with the page bloat problem and noscript and I do think more effort should be spent on optimizing this stuff, especially because bandwidth is much of their opex.

Language is an interesting topic. Words ultimately mean whatever it is that they communicate. The meaning of music theory is what musicians have established it to be.

For what you are talking about, you probably need to be more specific. Maybe scientific theory of music.
If you're going to make these sorts of claims you need to also lay out how you logically came to them. What is the financial path incentive for Mozilla since they already have the ability access to anything about every page you ever go to?

Case and point, I have three reasonably sized hospitals within an hour of my house by car. All three of those hospitals made this list of top 50 most overpriced hospitals.

https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19543406/50-most-overpric...

My state has the highest rate of uninsured residents in the country and also one of the states that did not expand medicaid and take in federal funds to cover 90% of that. I paid for the best health insurance plan I could find on healthcare.gov and went with a doctor that was listed as a preferred provider with my insurance explicitly because my insurance provider claimed that any lab work, referrals, etc from that preferred provider would be covered and that they partnered with them to ensure that there wouldn't be any surprise out of network bills that weren't covered. The best health insurance plan I could buy left me out to dry for ~$600 in bills that were supposed to be covered 100% by my plan.

The notion of the magic of the free market driving down healthcare spending is nothing more than a libertarian fantasy. By any objective measure we spend far more than any other country on the planet for a given medical service. The fact that doctors and hospitals can't even tell you how much a given service will actually cost beforehand should be enough to tell you that the free market clearly isn't working here.
That's why I like my Thinkpad X1 Yoga. Depending on the operation, I will use the touchpad, the trackpoint, or the touchscreen.

An Interview with Zlatan Todoric, Open-Source Developer and Former Purism CTO
The ISP do most certainly want to block web sites. The currently most common method is to block DNS, but they could, and will, switch to IP blocking in a heartbeat if they have to.

> they wouldn't want to block [for example] all of Cloudflare or the GCP load balancers

If your only defense against blocking by your ISP is to centralize web server hosting, then you’re just moving the problem to there instead. Cloudflare also blocks, or “deplatforms”, those they deem unseemly. And once someone is taken off the centralized web server hosts, they can be blocked by your ISP again. You’re not solving the problem in the long term.

We considered a few options before rewriting it. I've got a draft blog post about the process laying around, but haven't gotten around to getting it over the finish line.

We definitely knew the risk going into it. Fortunately, it only took us 2 months to rewrite it. I think our strategy for the rewrite is directly responsible for the speed at which we rewrote it.
I really like how Rust authors did it. If you don't need to add additional context, you can use `?` after the expression that may return error and if it does, it automatically returns it. No need for endless `if err != nil` and effect is the same. It makes code base really clean and easy to work with.
> That surprises me. Do you have a source?

No, I don't, but I second the request. Finding that on the internet is tough ("youtube videos composition" yields... well, not what I'm looking for).

I'm inferring it from the 500h/min new video upload rate on YT, and having made content myself. As soon as something needs editing or cutting, your efficiency takes a dive.

On second thought, it could also be a lot of screen recorded (e.g. game stream recordings) that contributes to that number.

But rest assured, anything that's just point, record and upload will (usually) far outweigh anything that's point, record, edit and upload. Maybe I'm just bad at it, but editing a 1h videos takes... well at least 1h (most of the time), because you also have to view the content itself, when you edit.
That's not investing, that's speculation.
Did you do 1-6 at the same time? Consider adding 'time spent outside.' What social things have you tried? People need to have close relationships with other people. Def look into weight training and avoiding processed foods. Avoid or highly limit alcohol and pot (if you partake in either). Assuming you live in a northern territory with hard winters, try a winter in the south (maybe SoCal, Arizona, or Texas).
This is a big problem, but calling it over-engineering seems too generous. I'd characterise it as under-engineering: Developers unwilling or unable to give proper consideration to non-functional requirements such as performance and design an optimised solution, and instead just layering on more and more dependencies.

There's a happy medium between serving a single <img> tag and this monstrosity. It would be totally feasible to use PWA techniques and a lightweight JS framework to build an image host that was performant and still provided all the other features Imgur does.

But let's face facts: It's not going to happen, no matter how many angry Twitter threads get posted to Hacker News. The web platform is completely unsuited to mobile, and there are simply too many perverse incentives in commercial web development to expect that most developers will expend the effort to build an optimised PWA when they can slap something together with React, knowing it'll work fine on the CEO's iPhone on office wifi.

The only real fix would be a complete reinvention of the web to fix the myriad design flaws. That is what Google's AMP was supposed to be, but people seem to hate it and see it is proprietary and evil. Maybe it is, but from a technical perspective, it's likely the only kind of solution that has a chance of working.
I would say that the modern British equivalent of ‘can I get’ is ‘could I have’. ‘may I have’ might be seen as pretentious.
Tor has limited value. Lots of things are blocked (search, for example), and it's slower than dialup. The security of the exit points is also questionable, and this is about trust.

Pushing all traffic through a VPN only moves the problem. Now I have to trust some unknown entity in some other country to respect my privacy. I don't want my traffic to bounce from Chile to Norway and then back to Chile when I do online banking. I run a VPN endpoint in Chile for my own traffic, but I don't need to push all of my home traffic through it....yet.

All useful traffic runs over HTTPS already, but metadata is still valuable. My ISP could snag SNI headers and know sites, but I don't think they're actively sniffing 100% of the traffic that goes across the wire. No, I think they want to be Verisign/Comcast/OpenDNS and redirect NXDOMAIN responses to ad pages or inject false responses to "unauthorized" queries.
MS Developer Community – Improve Dotnet Asynchronous Programming Model
So much this. We work with WordPress where our non tech savvy cllients have to build a lot of content using page builders. I wish there was an easy way to auto deploy most of the content as static while keeping the power of CMS capability. We either have very User oriented CMSs including WordPress or developer oriented tools like Gatsby/gridsome etc. Sorry but my B2B client is not going to run a "gatsby build" on every new page or post creation.

The sweet spot worth billions would be WordPress type.CMS that auto deploys static content while keeping dynamic features as needed. Caching plugins are just too cumbersome even though they are an option.
As a laptop I have HP omen 15", i7 6 Cores, 32GB Ram, nVidia 1070 GPU and 2 SSDs (500GB and 1TB). I paid $1800 Canadian Pesos for it. Has Windows and Linux Mint on it. Works like a charm. I can only imagine what would Mac with the same power cost. Sure it is not as thin as Mac but what do I care.
If you are mostly working from one location (home-office or office), I recommend building a PC with linux running on it. Far more powerful and much lesser cost. You can use any cheap laptop for computing on the go, preferably one which is SSD only, and it fairly lightweight.

When a SWE really starts to understand how complex a modern DDR controller is at the silicon level, two things happen:

1. You start to wonder how very, very far your code runs from the theoretical capabilities of the hardware and you start experiencing existential doubts.

2. You are overcome by a deep and immense feeling of gratitude towards whomever managed to force all that complexity to remain hidden underneath the simple memory abstraction your rely on to write day to day code.
Are you worried about things like Chrome fucking you over or are you worried about DNS encryption? The former does not require the latter, it's just one of a million ways to do it. Probably one of the more roundabout ways to be honest.

Oh so now you're saying asians aren't more impacted. Why are you saying that? You can't even stay coherent within a paragraph. Your worldview doesn't have an ounce of consistency to it.

> As a white man born into this world, you haven't earned anything any other person just born into this world doesn't have. Just because some white people have accomplished something doesn't give you claim or credit for that.

Right now you're rejecting an organisms right to protect itself against parasites and you're veering into an ideology that takes children away from their parents at birth.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with JavaScript. JS didn’t make these people unable to use an img tag.
Note that the vanilla 37k image took 2.4 seconds. Most people aren't on a 128 kilobit ISDN line. And there's a good chance you have much of the static content cached.

Anyone can easily build an image-serving website. What's hard is to build an image-serving website that pays for itself. I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
The title doesn't mean that the English word "red" means red in almost every language.

Chromecast for example forces it's device to bypass local resolution and use Google's DNS. Bad Google, but that would still be an issue even without DoH.

If the money is going directly either to the supplier or the customer (subsidizing the customer's costs directly or indirectly), then it's probably a subsidy.

Colours don't translate nicely across languages.

Sometimes, blue and green are different shades of the same colour, sometimes light blue and dark blue are two different colours, some languages consider pink to just be lighter red etc.

So, the title claims that the colour red is always red, regardless of the language.

I regard it as short-term greed. Documentation and QA doesn't sell short-term; things like Sidecar do.

Perhaps the right way to tackle it is updating less frequently (feature-wise) and focus more on stability and documentation instead. Because good documentation is written by the engineers themselves, it means less output from them (it is a myth that you can just throw more money and human resources at the problem). Imagine, for example, macOS and iOS only being updated once every 2 years with a major release.
