I had the opposite reaction, this library really shines because of its simplicity of implementation.

Just add a single JS script, some CSS classes, a few click handlers and you're done -- you get a really nice-looking sortable and filterable grid layout that seamlessly handles a non-trivial amount of complexity behind the scenes (element positioning, animations, reacting to grid resize, dynamically-sized elements, for starters).

It doesn't try to be a "stack", you can just drop it into existing code (perhaps with existing styles and perhaps with existing page elements). The documentation is really clear and polished (and even works without JS enabled!).

If you need a "jet fighter" to manipulate the DOM, you're doing something wrong.

In Europe you would in fact have to have a bus driving license (D or D1) for that kind of vehicle since it can transport more than 8+1 [passengers+driver] (and it most likely also goes beyond the maximum authorized mass of 3500 kg for the B license).

Daniel's sentiments resonate with me. I would add 1 additional restraint:

4. Every document is version controlled

That way, as Daniel puts it, "[the document] will not magically alter its contents tomorrow". Or if it does, I can see a history of what was altered. Ideally, this would somehow be built into the protocol/browser rather than be a burden to the publisher.

Also, maybe after a certain amount of time I can no longer modify my document. If I'm the New York Times, this means when I publish a news article document, and it contains an advertisement, that same advertisement forever lives on that document - just like physical newspaper.

I found listening to Eric call out his brother a bit difficult to listen to. There is most likely rapour between them as brothers that makes the "you are boring me" segments less egregious.

Even still I found the points of discussion very interesting. I think Eric is raising some very important points of discussion, and I listen to The Portal regularly, but I find his personality to be a bit abrasive (on the podcast and on Twitter).

It's not the fate. Google has more cash in the bank than any other company in the world (in tune of $130 billion). They could choose to use this cash to invest in creating new business, new products and the market would reward them handsomely. This is how Amazon's stock had meteoric rise despite of poor margins and a series of failures. Amazon has spent out a massive amount of cash in trying to build one business after another, everything from Fire phone to Alexa to kids tablet to Prime Video to grocery delivery to the pharmacy and so on. Many of these has failed and Bezos have pushed on with eyes on long horizon. People don't realize but Amazon is not its web site or AWS but a product factory, a sort of meta product. This keeps the market hopeful that they would have another big hit and the stock keeps going up on speculation. The majority of CFOs/CEOs of big tech haven't understood this and they keep twisting arm of existing cows to squeeze out more milk while a mountain of cash waiting to be utilized. It's also not that there is a dearth of new opportunity. Every sector from health to education to transportation to energy to finance is waiting for the next revolution. Its only gutsy leaders like Elon Musk who come in out of nowhere and start out things like Boring company or Tesla or Solar City. The market rewards them for taking a risk and being visionary (Tesla market cap is now more than GM and Ford combined despite selling 98% less vehicles!). So, the market is working fine and in fact doing exactly what it should do.

So don't blame fate. Don't blame market. Don't blame wall street. Don't confuse a lack of visionary CEOs or their willingness to take a risk with fate or dysfunctional market.

Presumably correlation on soldiers. Medicine was kind of hit or miss back then but quite often got lots of data from war wounded.

Typhoid had a lot of attention because it tended to be one of those things that killed a LOT of soldiers. The vaccine for it was developed in 1896 by the Almroth Edward Wright at the British Army Medical School. And the Second Boer War was the first time that war casualties were actually larger than disease casualties because of the vaccine.

The phrase 'Tin Isles' referring to Britain has a long history.

An early reference is that inventor of 'History' himself [Herodotus, 430BC]:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassiterides

The name 'Britain' comes from the Phoenician name 'Baratanac', which means 'Tin Isles'. The fact that they supplied tin to the Near East from their home in Tyre is provided in the Old Testament [Ezekiel, ~600BC]:

>Magenta and violet are very different. Magenta isn't a real color, two colors we interpret as one.

It's more accurate to say magenta is a color that can't be produced from a monochromatic light source. It's a mix of ~450nm and ~650nm light. It's still a color, though; the term "color" is more akin to the final output of the brain, as opposed to the light entering the eyes.

Yes, you even see this on marketplaces like Ebay, etc. Once you've established a relationship with some buyer / seller, it doesn't take long before said marketplace gets cut out from the equation.

I sell a lot of expensive stuff on the web, and I'd say 80% of my buyers are repeat buyers that started contacting me through mail after a couple of deals.

This is basically never going to happen. TCP is too entrenched.
I've been thinking a lot about this. Over the past week or so, I first made my blog browsable with cURL[0], then plain TCP sockets[1]. I learned a lot through this process, and relearned some things as well:

1. HTTP/1.1 is valuable. With the move to HTTP/2, we lost the principle of "simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible" (Alan Kay). All things in HTTP/2 are complex. I can make an HTTP/1.1 client on the command line with netcat.

2. Serving documents is incredibly simple[2] and safe (once you handle path vulnerabilities :D ).

3. We should extract web browsers from the behemoth JavaScript VMs we're all running now. I'm all for having portable VMs, and I like the direction WebAssembly is headed, but probably 80% of what I do on the web could be accomplished using an order of magnitude simpler software, accessing read-only documents.

4. Markdown and other human-readable formats are awesome. I used to think writing my blog in HTML had the least dependencies, but now I realize it makes you depend on a browser to render it, and that's a huge dependency. Markdown can be read as-is and therefore is almost dependency-free.

So I agree with the author here, and this is how I think we get there. Someone should make a stripped down web browser with the following attributes, or something similar:

1. Only speaks HTTPS

2. Only GET requests

3. A few choice headers, like Range for streaming video.

4. No JavaScript, or any Turing complete language at all.

5. Minimal CSS, ie colors, font sizes, flexbox. No animations (you don't have a language to trigger them with anyway).

6. Can probably throw away some HTML elements as well.

The nice thing about this approach is that sites made to work with this browser will still work in normal browsers. They'll just be super fast, low on resources, secure, and private.

I deep dove into ieee754 binary and decimal float (DPD and BID) while researching how to compress floating point values [1]. For 25 years it had been a magic black box that I couldn't trust for comparisons or printing, but now I get it. I get why it happened this way, what the benefits were, how to mitigate against its weirdness, and why ultimately decimal float needs to replace binary float in future. It's definitely worth learning.

Accurate headline but incorrect analysis.

Big Tech pays like sports, not because of average salary levels, but because of the spread between highest and lowest paid engineers.

Let's say an entry level role in big tech pays about $200k per year in total comp.

It would not be surprising for your top engineer (Jeff Dean ~= LeBron James, e.g.) to rate north of $10m in annual total comp, so 2 orders of magnitude difference.

Multiples in sports are higher, but the point I'm making is that just as LeBron makes multiples of what a bench warmer does, so do the Jeff Deans of the world make multiples of what new college grads do. This is a markedly different landscape vs say, the late 90s when spreads were much MUCH tighter. Unfairly so in my opinion.

Disclosure: I work for Google but have no special knowledge of Jeff Dean's (or any other superstar) comp. I simply claim I wouldn't be surprised if I ever learned the real numbers. :)

I don't entirely disagree with you, but I don't think that this fully captures it. I'm not talking about a new school, I'm talking about making an existing school bigger. There's no reason that a schoolhouse has to be just two stories.

Replacing a 2-storey school building with a 4-storey school building should not require purchasing new land, so the cost of land shouldn't matter much. (The temporary school closure would be a problem, but not insurmountable - it happens). The boundaries would be unchanged. A 4 storey building might cost somewhat more than twice a 2-storey building, but that should be more than offset by the fact that in addition to the number of taxpayers having doubled, they've also gotten much wealthier over the last several decades, so there's plenty of funds available.

Each teacher would need a cost of living bonus to offset the higher price of the area, but that's equally the case in a high-price low-density neighbourhood as in a high-price high-density neighbourhood. If your 3000 taxpayers can afford to pay 100 teachers enough to live in an expensive low-density neighbourhood, then your 6000 taxpayers can afford to pay 200 teachers enough to live in that same neighbourhood when it has higher density. And if the added density reduces land values, as many complain it will, then it will only get more affordable per-teacher than it is now.
You're right, 2025-2030 would be the correct range.

There are many different types of spammers and attackers.

Some will be stopped by the simplest protection mechanisms.

Some will be indistinguishable from real humans, and you won’t be able to stop them without crippling your services for your real users.

But those are the two extremes. The real problem is the ones between those extremes.

Every intentional stumbling block you put in the path to try and stop those in the middle might also have a negative impact on your real users. The real problem is that the most troublesome attackers will learn and adapt to whatever stumbling blocks you put in the path. So, how many of your own toes are you willing to sacrifice with your foot guns in the name of stopping the attackers?
Was just about to have a look at the latest download for this for MacOS, and found out it downloads a .pkg rather than a .dmg (which is how standalone apps typically install).

So, looking into the .pkg file I notice that it's also bundled Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg, which has a 'Microsoft AutoUpdate.app'. Inside the contents of that app is another app called 'Microsoft AU Daemon.app' which contains various M$ Root Certs and a string 'Microsoft Update Assistant launched'...

It's stunts like this which make me not trust Microsoft very much. I want nothing to do with Office, nor a one-stop-shop port of Windows Update. God knows what telemetry MS will try to upload with these products, but I'm not buying it.

That's right, no single person or organization is going to voluntarily pay for all the storage for all the rest of humanity. No one would suggest that would or should happen, and I'm sure you weren't either.

The question is: How do we equitably allow everyone to pay for their OWN storage in a way that doesn't involve selling ADs or selling people's 'information', the way the current Big Tech monopolies do.

Disk space is ridiculously cheap nowadays. I can buy enough space to store everything you ever typed in your entire life for $10. So I hope IPFS+FileCoin is successful, and you should to!

>No. Internet Explorer will remain a supported product until its support lifecycle runs out.

which is pretty much going to be "never". IE's support lifecycle says that a version of IE is supported for as long as the version of windows it shipped with is supported.

Windows 10 shipped with IE11 and Windows 10 is going to be the last version of Windows ever released, remaining in constant support.

Companies on the other hand still force users to use IE11 and they will continue to do so while IE11 is supported (which is forever).

We will have to continue to support a browser that came out in the beginning of the last decade for at least another 10 to 15 years.

If legal action would be taken, shouldn't browser have the controls regarding tracking preference? Setting up each page (provided that 'No' would still load page in either full or stripped-down variant) on each devices owned and/or reapplying choices whenever browser cache is cleared would be frustrating.

Maybe DNT should return as respected feature within browser and user choice shouldn't affect the access to the content but only its form.

I don't take medication even though I'm diagnosed with ADD. I guess there is the procrastination from ADD and the one talked about in the article.

The one from ADD makes me do... nothing. I feel paralyzed somehow. I scream at myself in my mind to finally start the task, I know I have to but my body won't move. It's hard to explain.

Then there is the procrastination as described in the article. I think it makes me do something else instead that I have put off, like cleaning or the sudden urge to finally learn a new programming language / framework. Like, I feel better and worse at the same time! I did something productive, at the cost of what I should have done.

Had a family member like this. She would lie in the most outrageous fashion, right to your face ("I slept with JFK! We flew to Bermuda for a week 1st class together, just the two of us!" that sort). If you called her out on it, she would just stare blankly--any rational response just doesn't land. Laughter or praise, on the other hand...

I believe that New York attracts these people, from all over the country. Maybe it's the accent, but I spot this trait in a few other famous/powerful people, especially if they're associated with nyc -- Giuliani, Donald Rumsfeld, and (guess who) come to mind.

It's absolutely possible for people to just straight lie, under any circumstances, for any reason, straight to your face, with zero cognitive overhead, zero concept of what a lie even means/is. It's just a default mode.

They live among us. And usually they're immensely charismatic, larger-than-life.
Thank you for this very honest comment. You make me feel less alone.
Until sites can monetize content in other ways, they will have to be ad-supported, which to be useful to advertisers, involve tracking.

Agreed with the poster on many points. I want a web where I can return to a website at any given time and expect to see the same content that was present before.

I think a version controlled web would be sweet, like git internet.

Publishing a page ultimately creates a commit hash. Removal of published commits is not a thing. Only forward changes. Mess something up? New commit.

When referencing a page from another, a commit hash can be specified if desired, however, linking to a page/accessing a page without a commit hash resolves the most current (think master branch) page/commit hash.

When accessing a page in browser, you should have the ability to rollback to a previous version of a page if so desired. Since all dynamic content and linked-out content is based on commits hashes (resolved at time of publish), you now have a way to receive all content you did before.

I like the idea of a static HTML/CSS only idea for pages and ditching JS mostly due to what crap the web has become filled with, like author mentions, paywalls and tracking.

At the same time, I think all can be accomplished without dynamic scripting as long as pages are hosted privately (as things like server logs can be inspected) and websites are able to set/retrieve session storage on client-side. Not sure how to solve for that.

I always land on the whole thing being decentralized and everyone participating holds many pieces like bittorrent where there is hash authenticity. The hashing to client lookup could be authority type servers (like cert authorities/trusted tor nodes) as trackers. The problem with this is nobody wants to have crap stored on their computer to use the internet.

Private, trusted nodes seem to me to be the better option, but they would need to be locked down like a root certificate authority. No logs either. Just multi-redundant, multi-region, eventually consistent, nodes adhering to some protocol used for passing around (in essence) a huge scalable, partitioned git repo.

Also this might be complete crazy talk, but that's okay. It's a much better dream than a world where the internet has become full of paywalls and tracking.
