"Return to vanilla HTML/CSS"

This is by and large, impossible. The hoops you have to jump through and downsides you have to endure are just a death by 10,000 cuts. Try writing a tabulated container in raw HTML and CSS that flex sizes and behaves nicely with the browser back button. Partial page reloads, containers with native (no reload!) sorting, there's so many features in modern web design that are just downright impossible without JS.
Space X and Blue Origin have no expertise in rocket motors with solid fuels, which are the only kind of motors used by the advanced militaries since about 1970 because it takes tens of minutes to fuel a liquid-fueled motor and then once it is fueled you have at most a few days to fire it or undergo an expensive process of removing the fuel. I think you probably end up throwing the unused fuel away (and maybe also cleaning everything of fuel residue).

in 2007/2008, I managed a GIS server / website that averaged 100 hits per day, but once every couple years the website would get listed in time/cnn and would get millions of hits.

I set up an EC2 instance behind a load balancer and set it to auto-scale. done. If I had to handle that bare bones, I would have had to upgrades switches, manage dozens of servers, deal with hard drive failures, etc., and most of that would be idle 99% of the time.
My first full time job was at a university, and we had a lot of student interns, most of them not native speakers (lots of chinese students especially). What I've found is that it wasn't worth the trouble to correct every grammar mistake; if a commit message was understandable and had useful content, I'd usually merge it without bothering to correct botched plurals, wrong prepositions, and other mistakes that the students made regularly, as long as it didn't hurt understandability. I found that getting them to write good content wasn't a problem once we made it clear that this was expected (and it wasn't really easier with the native speakers).

Communication in software development is a huge deal. While language barriers are a thing, I don't think you can or should compromise on documentation, and when it comes to commit messages I don't think this is the leading reason why folks don't write good ones.

I'm told by friends who were at RedHat when they decided to make the source repositories public (as opposed to just throwing release tarballs over the wall), and commit messages went way way up. This tells me: people knew better, they just didn't care if they weren't being held to account.
Pretty good, depending on the tooling. I’m having good luck with https://webrecorder.io/ and their related open-source tools.
I've put a bit of thought of what'll happen to my website if I were to die. It's hosted on GitHub Pages right now, so at some point GitHub is going to disappear or stop offering the service. Even before that, I honestly don't know what happens to renewing payments–I guess my Google Domains payment will stop and somebody will squat on my domain soon after? archive.org might be the only thing keeping the information around…I hope I've done a good job of making it archivable; as a matter of policy, there's no JavaScript. There's a snapshot from earlier this year and it looks fine, so maybe it'll outlast me?
Sure if you have a generative model and you can add in noise then why not.

I do believe that, usually, you should make it possible to be archived. (In one of a few cases where it isn't, consider if HTTP(S) is even the correct protocol for what you are doing; sometimes it isn't.)

I agree that you can (almost always) write HTML without JavaScript codes (CSS is not always needed either, but nevertheless it can be helpful). This improves portability too. If you do want to use JavaScript to generate static documents, consider using Node.js and have it output a plain HTML document, which will then be the hosted document, rather than hosting the JavaScript version. (This way, the code only has to run once.)

About fonts, I think usually the fonts are not an essential part of the document. (Still, you don't usually need to use so many, but often you do not need to specify the font at all, except you may still need to specify if it is monospace, bold, etc.) Also, you do not usually need so many pictures on your web page (except picture galleries).

I do think if you need a copy of a web page then you can copy it.

You can also use plain text documents (without HTML); it is what I often do.

Yes, the initial 64-bit OS was IA64 and that was the perfect excuse to dump NTVDM, instead of trying to do a W16OW64 or something of that sort. x64 XP and 2003 further solidified that decision because they were "professional" SKUs and Microsoft could dictate that they didn't care about DOS/Win16 for the "new" platform.

When I first started learning about and applying personal finance principles, I counted every dollar going in and out of my accounts, made projections, and planned for everything. This conscious effort very effectively changed my spending habits to the point where finance principals are now second nature. For many people, getting started with dieting requires(or is at least helped by) such a conscious effort too.
2) We can't discount all the revenues generated by defense spending, both by the US and abroad. That's a non-trivial amount of Boeing's income.

Sure you can. McDonnell Douglas was a failed commercial airplane manufacturer propped up by their military sales. Look where that got them.
Iunno, even in the financial crisis, the feds didn't even feel it was necessary to wipe out equity shareholders when they went to bailout.

The feds could always rewrite regs to help Boeing, like limiting the grandfathering that allows airlines to fly aircraft that don't meet current safety regulations.
Not even necessarily evil, but it allows you to promise everything to everyone without being easily called out on it.
"Easily free" is a gross overstatement. If you are a guy, and you don't have good social skills or intuition, and you don't pay attention to your looks, you will have zero luck. Those apps are heavily skewed towards female choice due to the safety and a much higher demand for sex on the male side for a number of reasons.

And before you say that anyone should be able to do that, not everyone has the same supply of emotional energy for self betterment, which is an extra on top of what is required to live life day to day
DRAM testing is not really something you can do incrementally. Localized, bit-level failures are only one kind of failure; things get really interesting when you have disturbances (e.g., a shorted address line or something causes writes to some location to also change bits in another location).

Also, ECC failures usually cause a machine check. Not sure if you can control this on modern machines, it might be all or nothing.

In a world where 95% of the google search results for <common problem> are forum threads, with everyone 'answering' the question by saying 'just google it, dumbass'[1], I don't think people - as in - the common homo sapiens - cares about the longevity of the content they link to as much as the author thinks.

No I'm not, the plane is flawed. Boeing created a flawed plane to cut costs. Then they slapped software on it and called it fixed. Sure because it can fly you could call it "structurally sound", but its not. The plane is a pile of trash

>Any hypothesis that's not falsifiable is by definition not scientifically testable.

This is beside the point. The point of contention is whether or not falsifiability is what makes science what it is, or should be. Genuine science (such as exploratory papers) very often does not start by specifying a falsifiable hypothesis. Bad science, such as astrology, does often propose falsifiable hypotheses. Therefore, astrology can be falsifiable. Therefore, according to Popperian demarcation, astrology counts as science, or it's scientific (useful to remember that Popper counted Darwinian evolution as non-science).

Falsifiability isn't enough for something to be science; it's not necessary and sufficient - because otherwise astrology is science, and exploratory research, popular in many scientific fields, isn't science. The fact that astrology's claims have been falsified does not discount it as science, since a great number of genuine scientific papers also successfully falsify their hypotheses - finding a null result is an example of falsifying a hypothesis.

For this exact reason I've been pushing to use static HTML on my personal blogs and I spend a lot of time optimizing images for both retina and 1x resolutions. Basic HTML & CSS are good now, and there is no reason fairly basic content can't be stored as static pages.

You can convert PHP or other dynamic pages to static fairly easily, it takes about half a day of scripting and a little time with configuring your web server. The pages load quicker and the load on your server is lower.

I've long considered the idea of a permanent hosting solution, where people pay to get their content up and I guarantee it's longevity, but the business model on that is tough.

Yes, the situation is even better for $Manufacturer where $Manufacturer != Boeing.

But airlines aren't suddenly cancelling flights. They're looking at their schedule and consolidating whatever they can. And charging more for the remaining seats.

And the value of the aircraft they already own just went up.

I've also seen some airlines downgauge turbojets to Q400s, which is slower but saves a ton on fuel.

Routes that needed to run X times per day to be competitive (because people want flexibility in departure and return times) can now be consolidated into X minus Y flights with the same number of passengers.

It's 2019, airlines have automated processes to rebook when a flight is cancelled.

And upstart airlines trying to build their fleets couldn't.
I’ve used Multipass extensively and I can honestly say, while it’s a great start, it’s not even remotely ready for prime time on MacOS. I have lost tons of VMs that get stuck shutting down and are never able to come back up due to corruption. Still, it’s worth checking back in at a later date. Docker continues to be my go-to for now.
The state of mhtml support is fairly pathetic at the moment. Firefox broke mhtml compatibility with the quantum overhaul. Chrome's mht support had been a hit and miss over the years, sometimes removing the GUI option entirely and requiring one to manually launch the browser with a special tag to enable it. The only browser with a history of consistent mhtml support happens to be....Internet Explorer, followed by a bunch of even more obscure vendors that nobody really uses.

I am currently dealing with the problem of parsing large mht files (several megabytes and up). A regular web browser would hang and crash upon opening these files and most ready made tools I could find struggle with the number of embedded images. It's very much a neglected format with very little support in 2019.

>> ... which is a misleading way of framing this, because opinion does not play a role in this.

>At first glance, this seems rather surreal. I am stating it accurately

You may have slightly misunderstood what I was trying to say here, I was referring only to your use of "no opinion" versus the paper's "no position." It's not a hugely important point so I'm only going to comment on the following ...

> You can have the science and technical solutions all figured out (and it is, well enough), but if you are unable to assemble adequate public consensus & support, the entire initiative may fail, [...]

If this was all you'd been saying, we'd be in full agreement. I agree there's room for improvement in popular science reporting. I disagree that there is anything majorly wrong with it, though. [0] If you have any specific recommendations for improvements that could be interesting.

However, I feel you are holding popular science journalism to an unrealistic standard here - a standard that is applied to no other subject.

If journalists were forced to use the highly technical, precise and nuanced language of peer-reviewed scientific publications in their popular reporting, that just wouldn't work for the vast majority of their readers. It would leave the field wide open to dishonest sound-bite style reporting by people unconstrained by truth. Therefore, simplifications are to some degree necessary, as long as they don't deform the underlying science. People are still free to dig deeper into the literature if they are that interested, just as we've been doing here. I don't think that's too much to ask - or, put differently, if this is too much to ask, then the problem is a much deeper one: a lack of critical thinking, a lack of curiosity, a pathological preoccupation with just the most superficial aspects of a topic.

Or, putting this a bit more practically: I feel like I have done a fine job of showing why quoting the 97% number is not particularly misleading. What form could this argument take that would fit in less than a couple of paragraphs? Because there aren't very many places outside of HN where that would fly...

[0] I don't know if this applies to places where people people mostly argue in meme format. It may not, but that would be a general cultural problem and not one of scientists and / or science journalists.

I am hesitant to put words in the author's mouth, but I suspect he would agree with my stance here...

The solution is to not require things like partial page reloads, etc. This shouldn't be a huge hardship -- a properly designed modern site can degrade gracefully anyway, so users that don't have or allow things like JS can still use it, even if in a "degraded" form.

Slow? It is definitely faster to use a mouse to click a word in a text than use the keyboard to get to it. (I have no idea about how Eclipse does it, though).

Do you have a source for that 100 million figure? It strikes me as awfully low considering how many personal computers must surely exist in the world and how often they'd be replaced without reusing the drives, not even factoring in servers.
Honestly, why chime in with that? Not only is it sort of sneering (if you're that small), it's wrong and counter to the most practical advice we give out here, use what you know. It's hard enough starting a business without learning a whole new tech stack.

Ironically, we were having the discussion here yesterday about a guy with a failed startup saying he'd wasted the opportunity because he used too much new stuff and spent all his time on that instead of iterating the actual product. Several comments focused on it'd just be better to start off with a Rails app, it's quick, it's easy and it's understood.

And really, is lambda appropriate for anything more than a very focused niche app? I mean, try writing all the usual things you need to slot into a SaaS on it, billing, user management, signup, admin reports, admin functionality, emails, multi-tenancy, custom domains, etc. etc. Even a 20 user, internal, enterprise app needs most of that functionality. Put on top of that, you're forced to use a particular, proprietary tech stack and lock yourself into something that might very well die in a couple of years.
