Unpopular truth: Lowering page weight doesn't often help web performance.

https://www.speedshop.co/2015/11/05/page-weight-doesnt-matte...

> Bandwidth is not the problem, and the performance of the web will not improve as broadband access becomes more widespread.

> The problem is latency. Most of our networking protocols require a lot of round-trips. Each of those round trips imposes a latency penalty. Latency is governed, at the end of the day, by the speed of light. Which means that latency isn’t going anywhere.

Of course, this will get downvoted on an all-text forum. That won't make it less true.
Binaries on Microsoft Windows are more resilient than some GNU/Linux source code.
Same here. Flash helped me understand OOP. I would have never become a programmer without Flash the IDE.

It is very sad what Adobe did with Flash (and Fireworks, and Dreamweaver...), especially in the wake of WASM where they could have ported most of the platform. I guess there was no financial incentives to do that.
I think the reason why blog posts are written in this hyperbolic format is because it catches people’s attention, or “click bait”, if you will. If it were toned down in the way you suggested (which I agree with in principle), it might lose more readers before they get to the substance. Just hypothesizing here btw.
This is a pretty fun resource. I collect old computers from the early 2000s and I might have to see how well this works on them.

I wish there was a kind of “RetroNet” similar to this one, with a curated list of websites that intentionally support old browsers and operating systems.
still they could have told people that they could change the battery
This is about apps using an embedded webview to present a password page instead of using the system browser. It was basically training people to enter their credentials into 3rd party apps which is a terrible idea.
I bought a new monitor (it wasn't expensive), a headphone, comfy chair. I spend half of day at my desk, so I think it was necessary. Also I bought a lot books.
> an app might show you a Google sign-in page which is actually hosted on their own server, or steal your credentials even if you are actually on google.com

I'm confused, how does "this browser is not supported" translate into "this request is coming from a third party server"? Can't a third party just use whatever browser is supported to send the request?

Same here. At times, I'd prefer to just work on debugging things for colleagues versus writing rather boring code. It can give some insights when it comes to design, as well as enabling customer support to fix certain issues.
My kids FaceTime their friends and play Roblox together, the bee game and adopt me. And the obbys and piggy. All they want is Robux. They like Minecraft too but there are Minecraft like games inside Roblox too. It’s nuts. Definitely buying this stock.

The race data in court case records is very often used for crime statistics. It's probably the most analyzed data point after what the incident was about.
Yours is very edge case though, and the grandparent is rightly pointing out that the headline is a little misleading and comments are generally negative for a positive aspect.

Stackoverflow used to be very guilty of that too, back when I was active on it and paid attention. I tried to cause a public stir to remedy the following absurd situation:

Question and Answer is top Google result due to well formulated Q, keywords, Google algo, whatever. OK, start to see interesting responses. Closed as Off Topic or Duplicate by randos.

I argued, how can it possibly be a duplicate or off topic if it's a top search result. You're rewarding overzealous types. I suggested drastically increasing the points required to mark posts like that. I doubt I influenced anything, but it was worth a shot.
That's because domains were increasingly registered to masses of private customers, who should have a different expectation of privacy than businesses. And privacy is a problem here. You cannot enforce a privacy policy (if there only was one) or data protection law against an anonymous website, so expect all your data to go to the highest bidder. Naively, maybe, I would expect that to be unacceptable, although there seem to be people in favour of this. It's possible that you'll get enough data later in the ordering process, but it's still highly unusable (compared to e.g. rsync.net and all the other big clouds).
The trick is setting the right redirect_uri [0].

Generally it's implemented with a custom URI scheme (that the target application is registered for) or a loopback ip address.

Should the title be changed from "embedded browser frameworks" to "unsupported browsers"? The latter seems far more consequential than the former.

Edit: I wonder if this is intended to be an attack on browsers like Ungoogled Chromium that Google doesn't like? (https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium)
As much as it "feels" immature, it is still an understandable analogy, regardless if you're a fanatic. As other users pointed out, it has become a norm for software/webdev houses to convert what is mostly static content into weird, flashy, bloated SPAs that load a ridiculous about of resources for little content. I see it in my peers too, and I saw it even when I was attending college. Frankly, I think it's immature to pretend this is not a problem as some seem to suggest.

I grew up learning to program on Roblox 14 years ago, and more than a few of my friends from back then are now wildly successful engineers.

It's only gotten more advanced since then, and if I were a parent, I'd love for my kids to be making games on the platform.
This is the problem. They could bundle an emulator for old hardware, but they don’t bother. Why should they? Customers are signaling a willingness to buy new hardware that simply won’t run some of their software.
If I had to guess, they're using the "places" that every user gets allocated. You can have a bunch of them, but only so many active at once. Maybe you can adjust the privacy settings for a place to allow only your friends. Roblox does all the hosting and provides the IDE (Roblox Studio) and everything. All the games on Roblox are somebody's "place" that they've made public and developed into a fun game.

This is from my own experience >5 years ago, so it could be outdated.
So I calculated the total from
January 1 to November 9, the numbers are

2015 77033
2016 75524
2017 76522
2018 77089
2019 73374
2020 79088

So, the difference is about 2000. Noticeable, not as dramatic as 6000 but noticeable.

File formats are the real lock in, not operating systems.

Keeping people on Windows was never Microsoft's goal - the real lock in is the .doc/.xls/.ppt (and newer "Open" XML versions that aren't really that open), and keeping them buying Office or SaaS offering year in and out so they can open older files.

GSuite and Libreoffice are more of a threat to Microsoft than Linux ever was...

My first language is Russian. I just don't have mental wires in my mind to fully understand the differences. I know them in theory, but it's hard for me to fluently apply and understand the nuances which is not the case with other language constructions.
The Virgin Islands and Anguilla are a big problem for a PR launch site. Even commercial shipping/fishing activity downrange can present a big problem for launches, let alone populated areas.

The lower latitude is a minor help, but it's not huge. Higher elevation is entirely negligible; orbit is about going sideways fast, not going up.

The logistic challenges of operation away from manufacturing and engineering talent in the US would far outweigh any advantages.
I think Uppercase<T> and friends are really interesting (along with all of the other things, of course).

Maybe, maybe not, but site load time has a very well documented correlation with bounce rate. And if a user bounces, they're obviously not going to end up spending money.

I believe it's more about keeping the user in a sort of sales/marketing 'funnel'. If I'm just browsing and come across a service I might be vaguely interested in, perhaps I'll click the link to view their page. Now I'm at the top of the funnel. With each link I have to click to follow, there is an opportunity for me to get bored, get distracted by something else, or so on. Maybe I'm not buying anything then, but maybe somewhere along the funnel is a free trial of the service, and if I'm in a pleasant mood, maybe I'll do the trial. But if I bounced because of a 5 sec load time, chances are good the mildly impulsive mood I was in is not going to persist enough to encourage a subsequent visit.

So it might not be an immediate thing, but better engagement does lead to more sales. I like to consider myself a mindful shopper, but there are definitely a handful of $5/month services I am subbed to because I was in a vaguely impulsive mood and stumbled into something I thought might be useful -- and their signup process was silky smooth.

And if you are instead shopping for an item and browsing several different sites, if one of them sticks out because of its slow load times, that's a tab you are going to close.

I was just putting together my resume to send them (and the thought crossed my mind that an IPO might be coming in the next year), then I see this.

For anyone who's done this dance before, is it a bad, good, or great idea to apply to a company, right when S-1 is released? Don't know if, e.g., companies do a hiring lockdown right before IPO. Also, just on the emotional side, I joined a company very shortly after IPO years ago, and it was always a sore spot to see the life-changing millions of dollars of those who joined the company not long before me, and the constant reminder of "pre-" vs "post-" employees.
So app passwords are something Google are slowly boiling the frog on to get rid of. As of the last year or two, Thunderbird is using OAuth2.

_The way it does OAuth_, is by opening a google sign in in an embedded browser, and then catching the API key in the redirect by intercepting the navigation in the embedded browser.

It's not a browser session cookie, but it does require the user to log in. To replace this and use the desktop browser, thunderbird would have to spin up a web server, and I'm not sure what restrictions Google have about TLS on redirect targets, which may be problematic to spin up a trusted TLS server on arbitrary end user devices.

They could of course set up a centralised service to echo the token back to end users, but this seems likely to be even higher risk of the service stealing your oauth tokens and less trusted by those types of users still using a desktop email client.
I'd try Discord and Reddit. What I do is I when I start to like a sub, I check if they have a Discord server. Brings back good feelings from the long gone IRC era. Forums are pretty much dead nowadays.

I looked into Transitive and they did do Rosetta1. So it wasn't Apples to open source (and apple was in a more precarious financial position back then). . They're an IBM company now which makes since IBM could use PPC translation. I know a few people who really liked that instruction set.

Gitlab is a pioneer here. The did start with the 2000 minutes free of shared runners, for private and public repos. I really think we should all thank them for pushing ahead on innovation.

Gitlab invented this, github copied.
Same as Snapchat invented, Instagram copied them.
Embrace, extend, extinguish.

It's just like Microsoft in the 1990s.

Any developer who values open computing (open source software or hardware, general purpose computers, running whatever programs you want, working around DRM, owning your own data) should be avoiding systems, tools, services and devices designed by companies like Google, and recommending the same to friends and family. Google does not have our interests at heart.
Also isn’t a forum an earlier version of social media anyway? It was social and it had media, where is the line?

> You're simply changing the goalposts. First you start off with saying that the oil embargo was casus belli [...] you're also confused about the timing of the oil embargo.

Where did I mention anything about the oil embargo? You're the one who brought that up, and now you're arguing with yourself.

The historians who are of the opinion that the Hull note amounts to a declaration of war aren't talking about the aspect of it that relates to oil.

Nobody thinks a refusal to trade goods amounts to a declaration of war, rather the part where the US implicitly threatens "or else" if Japan doesn't sign on to some version of a wide ranging policy agreement it didn't find palatable.

> Yamamoto was the most powerful officer in the IJN, and also had tremendous influence with the Imperial Family.

It sounds like you're in agreement with my point then.

This whole thread is about the supposed irrationality of Japanese admirals subservient to Yamamoto. Not about what Yamamoto could have done.

I invite you to re-read fatbird's upthreads comment while you're looking for some place where I directly or indirectly mentioned anything about oil (I didn't), I.e.:

> "The Japanese generals and admirals agreed to the attack on Pearl Harbour despite the admiral leading it[...]"

Does the author not realize that emulators exist?
There is none in a single package. The closest is Godot but it's not really for animation purposes. Flash went really far. At some point one could even write 2D shaders and use C++ code with 'Alchemy'. A lot of interesting tech abandoned...

I mean Javascript can certainly do all that but it's code first, not "IDE" first.
That seems like a corporate IT failure, not a failure of anything else. We just got an M1 Macbook Pro and nearly half of our machines are already updated to Big Sur and we haven't had any major issues. The only issue has been an old kext from Cisco that can't be approved anymore but it hasn't caused any major issues and Cisco has already let us know that there's an update to that incoming. In my experience, this transition has been way smoother so far (even with the limited input) than our changeover to Windows 10.

It's a very important edge case. Every new browser, by definition, starts out as a self-compiled project.

If this happened in the 90s, would we ever have had Mozilla? Would tabbed web browsers exist?
...until they introduce browser fingerprinting to prevent such shenanigans. I'm sure they already have the infrastructure/code in place, given that they also run recaptcha.
> That thing about the filesystem performance could have been the occasion to optimize NTFS and even to add to the NT kernel the support for other filesystem, natively.

I doubt that would be feasible given how important backwards compatibility is for Microsoft's business. WSL1 seemed like a huge effort on its own, so changing one of the most critical OS features would be a little ambitious.

Minetest¹ is one game that I think in theory could be a great creative platform for kids, it’s kind of Minecraft + Roblox — a Minecraft clone except everything besides the most basic engine functionality — even mobs — is implemented as a mod — which is just a Lua script + (3D model, texture, and/or sound) assets. Edit: and each server can have any mods it wants and the client will load any it doesn’t have locally.

Flash as a technology should never be used now unless for artistic purposes.

However, it's preservation to be able to run & archiving of flash media are an absolute cornerstone of any attempt to archive the 2000s internet. Flash introduced & inspired countless people who have no doubt gone on to build amazing things in other technologies.

I love flash. I'm glad it's not used anymore, but I truly love the content it produced from the bottom of my heart.

Long live Flash & special mention to Macromedia Shockwave.

I can't remember the initiative launched in my country, but I did find a website which has a similar implementation [1]. Its only in Dutch though.

The icons above read: Timeline, Small Facts, 911 emergencies, News, Business, Bankruptcies, Wanted, Video, Buildings (literally "look inside"), Airbnb, Events, Permits

The icons are standardized on every city page, something I dig.

The timeline is shown by default.

People can click on their city/town and even their neighborhood.

After I wrote this, I saw another one, Drimble [2]. I like that even better than Ozoo (the features seem to be on par I just prefer the UI and colours), but I haven't used either TBH.

I don't believe either of these is the one I heard on the podcast. Also, I'm not quite sure how these websites arrange the rights fair and square, and since we're talking about local business and the little men I find that important. I think they get away with it by quoting, which falls under fair use, and then linking to the original source. That's not exactly the same as your product, nor the one I heard in the podcast.

from the linked page:
