The DOM used to be slow, incredibly slow, but that was a very long time ago when JavaScript only executed as an interpreted language. The DOM has been insanely fast even since before React was born. Using micro-benchmarks you can see that DOM access, when not using query selectors, tops out at around 45 million ops/s in Chrome and between 700 million to 4 or 5 billion ops/s in Firefox depending upon your CPU and ram. That is fast. No higher level framework will improve upon that.

Back in the day when the DOM was slow the primary performance limitation was accessing everything through a single bottleneck, the document object. To solve for this the concept of document fragments was invented. These aren't used anymore because the DOM is insanely fast and modern implementations (popular frameworks) are so incredibly slow. You aren't going to achieve a technology solution to a people problem.

The first big misconception of DOM performance is the difference between DOM interaction and visual rendering. Visual rendering is fast now because its offloaded to the GPU but its still far slower than accessing and modifying the DOM. As an example set an element to display:none and then perform what ever DOM modifications you want to it. Those changes have no visual rendering, are still DOM manipulation, and are insanely fast. You can measure this with a microbenchmark tool.

The second big misconception of DOM performance is how to access the DOM. The fastest means of access are the old static DOM methods, like: getElementById and getElementsByClassName. Query selectors will always impose a huge performance penalty when there are standard methods to do the same job and a minor performance boost when there aren't. The querySelectorAll method compounds that performance penalty. The performance penalty is present due to string parsing of the selector as necessary to convert that into something vaguely equivalent to the static methods, which is a step on each operation the static methods do not require. The minor performance to access things, such as by attribute, is achieved because there isn't a single static method equivalent and more steps must be taken compared to the parsed string result of the selector, but that performance boost is exceedingly minor (16x at most).

Usually developers prefer slower means of access to the DOM due to preferential bias to declarative approaches to programming. There isn't a performance tool to fix developer bias.

If you want both performance and less intimidating approaches to DOM access you can create aliases that solves for code reuse with more friendly names, but you will still need to understand the concept of a tree model.
Good spot! Will amend that asap. Thanks for the kind words though! Look forward to serving you.

People are allowed to be blunt and even curmudgeon, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just one of the many dispositions we can assume. That's diversity. This is a personal blog and it's totally reasonable the he takes this posture, it's slightly refreshing. If this were a public intellectual being taken seriously, or if he had a huge audience, then there would be more scrutiny, but otherwise he's just a guy with an odd way of communicating with a small soap-box on a small corner.

But that doesn't mean that the architecture and the micro-architecture used is similar.

So.. Yes! We can say that these architectures are some kind of "vector processors", but it will be ambiguous regarding the programming model and the architecture used.

Amazon also really seems to push what they _want_ to sell over what they have available.

A while back I spent a lot of time looking around for a basic SATA bluray drive on Amazon before finally giving up. All I could find was burners for several hundred dollars when I really just needed a drive to quickly rip a single disc I'd bought. I spent probably an hour scrolling through results and trying all sorts of variations on search strings.

I eventually gave up and punched it in Google to get... kicked back to Amazon to a simple, cheap SATA bluray drive that had been there all along.
Has it ever occurred to you that the answer might be that they’re just better at it than us due to decades of experience at scale?

Not to pick on you in particular, I see this sentiment a lot. China is no longer cheap labor, their dominance in manufacturing is due to expertise.
Fandom, ensuring the works stay in the public consciousness. If it weren't for the fans who have enjoyed Mickey Mouse over the years, he wouldn't be relevant at all. Imagine if Mickey had been a total flop. We'd be lucky if any Mickey Mouse stuff survived. This is not hyperbole, there are tons of lost media franchises today because they weren't popular and nobody cared to preserve them.
I've proposed a business model for a while for Twitter: take their software and whitelabel it for institutions, media, or whoever's big enough to own their own domain name and wants to have their own @namespace @example.com

this would be a good fit for large media sites (journalism twitter is huge), government, businesses. let them pay.

It seems the author is confused about the meaning of the word "scam". PoS might not be as secure as PoW but that does not make the concept some sort of fraud.
Me.

Computer science background, but I had to get a job really quick post graduation and with no SWE internships, I had to fall back on my experience working part time in my university’s IT department and get an IT consultant job so I could pay rent.

I have open-source projects, I’ve released iOS apps with non-trivial code, I’ve placed top-5 in a dev challenge hosted by a social network with tens of millions of users. I’ve owned production support working for startups while also owning their helpdesk, and I’n general I’ve been able to leverage my background to solve problems that none of my IT colleagues were equipped to solve.

However, this experience with writing software still comes from the context of “IT” and I’ve been struggling to shake that stigma.

I’m not saying I’m not making progress. Just got turned down at the final stage (4/4) of a SWE position for a better candidate, but that’s one of probably a hundred applications I’ve submitted over the course of two months.
If you can so consistently reproduce kernel panics, it would be good to open a ticket. However, that has been less and less of a problem in recent years, and a lot more panics were squashed in the past few months, especially USB related ones. So you might try a nightly build and see if things are improved; if not, please do open a ticket.
I think people stopped writing and started making videos because a revenue stream (sponsorships, patrons, ads) exist there. Nobody pays people to write anymore, so people stopped doing it.

> And I bet it comes with some terms like allowing studios to remove GIFs they don't like, etc..

Y'ever noticed how the "send a GIF" panels in apps (often using Giphy behind-the-scenes as whitelabel) often have the top few rows of "trending" (quotes intentional) GIFs are mostly taken from recent major Hollywood releases? Most of the time it's whatever the most recent Marvel MCU film was - or some other mass-market action film - so if not the MCU then it'll be from whatever Disney's latest Star Wars movie or TV show just-so-happens to be.

...so yeah, that's very likely paid product placement right there. Not only is it free advertising for Marvel, but it's advertising that people actually want to share with each other!

Of course, what gives Giphy its credibility with net-savvy users is that they let people upload and cut their own GIFs. If you instead imagine Giphy as just being a free, maybe even banner ad-free, repository of GIFs but was strictly read-only (maybe have a likes system?) and comprised of only rightsholder-approved GIFs (but imagine the selection was still substantial so 75%+ of the time you'd still be able to find the right reaction GIF for your situation: it's just it'd all be the same well-known actors playing the same roles in all the same kinds of films and TV shows; no user-generated-content or really any material that isn't owned by a Fortune 500 media company) - but would people still use it? I think they would - especially if the E2E user-experience quality is there... as opposed to most other kinds of sites that do tolerate their users committing acts of copyright violation, but plaster the site in the worst online ads of all (because most of their users are smart enough to be offended by homogenized and consolidated entertainment media then they're going to be smart enough to run adblock too).

Disney Co is now at the point where they can choose to give Giphy a sweet deal (e.g. a covenant not to sue or even an explicit copyright license, provided Giphy promotes pro-Disney GIFs) and use Giphy not necessarily for their own direct benefit (i.e. GIFs as advertising new films), but to choose to actively support, fund and promote Giphy to ensure Giphy stays the default place for GIF editing and exchange, but because Disney then effectively "owns" Giphy, they can shut-off and shut-out promotion for all other non-Disney franchises just to ensure Disney laps up people's mindshare and imaginations: soon, in a few decades, Disney will own the rights to all new original thoughts.

I find all of Google products are just constantly iterated upon for the sake of keeping staff busy and just seem to get worse as time goes on.

Google News used to be an easy to read html list that just worked. Now if you leave it open in a tab for more than 5mins you get a warning that it needs to be reloaded because of a software update.
10 years should be enough for the authors. The current laws just serve the corporations. Besides, anyone wanting to use copyright for their creations should be mandated to publicly release the source (code, material, etc) of their product after the copyright ends.
This solution uses the same sensor for the depth and RGB, which is a win. When you use separate depth and RGB sensor like most smartphones the images do not align exactly which causes problems at close range. You also get weird artifacts when the depth sensor saturates but the RGB does not.

I think this design will require a lot more cpu for post processing though.
I get the strong impression you're over-projecting your personal feelings, which are rooted in a bad experience you had.

I've worked with probably a dozen bootcampers over the years and all but one have been great. Some of them were junior at the time, some of them were not. The junior devs were junior devs; nothing wrong with that. If a company is hiring nothing but entry-level/junior devs then yes, they will have problems. But that has nothing to do with bootcamps. And I'm not sure what "try[ing] to leave and let them have mostly entry level workers" accomplishes.
I think in that case we would focus on ways to cope with climate change. For example, air conditionning everywhere would make sense. What's difficult about the current crisis is that you can't use too much energy to fight it without making it worse.

I like hearing about Atari 8-bit computer owners who upgraded to the Amiga, both designed by Jay Miner, instead of the Atari ST, which was more of a 16-bit Commodore 64 than an Atari, being designed by one of the engineers of the C64, Shiraz Shivji.

My biggest concern is the lack of attribution to earth’s orbit around the sun…

The voice of this article reminds me strongly of "you won't believe what happened next" crappy click-bait articles. I'm not sure why exactly but I think it has something to do with the weird tense it is written in.

You are giving way too much credit to autonomous vehicles in this theory. Line colours are standard throughout all of North America (that I’ve seen so far). Yellow means what it means. This carpool line experiment would have been confusing to any driver seeing it for the first time.

Imagine a tourist on that highway for the first time, at 3am, when there’s no traffic. Can they use that lane? Can they pull a sneaky u-turn and start driving the opposite direction?

What if I’m driving down the highway, effectively on mental autopilot, and suddenly become aware that I’m on the “wrong” side of the yellow line? How would I be likely to react?

The opportunities for misunderstanding by normal humans seem plenty.

I'm not sure if you're the guy to ask, but I'm sure you're aware of the continuing acidification of the oceans via CO2 absorption. From what I've heard it's highly unpredictable as to how it will actually affect ecosystems, but supposedly some molluscs are already having reproductive issues as their shells tend to dissolve at some point in the growing cycle. The predictions I've read point to a likely oceanic food chain collapse in 15-25 years, not to mention the decrease in fertility that fish seem to be experiencing from higher temperatures.

Is that roughly correct?
It will be a much better world if everyone thinks like that. Who knows, we might see a similar thing unfold in migration. Who really cares for public servants who act like your master? A Turk told me one time that people there working for government use to do it... drum roll ...as a public service! As a side effect the new won respect helped promote their business.

Mobility is [somewhat surprisingly] all good for economic stability and scaling.

We can greatly improve the economy if everyone continues to learn and moves to a position that makes better use of their new and lost abilities. We will also have to improve the corporate bus factor and improve job quality in all possible ways that do but also those that don't cost money.

One might even end up in a job that thy actually cares about rather than poorly pretend. Wouldn't that be something?
Let's expand the scope too.

> businesses that made income by selling goods or services to customers were just called businesses, not lifestyle businesses

No, they were called shops. Where the business stops working without the owner-manager’s labor. “Business” referred to industrial-scale activity. (Before the industrial revolution, “commerce” was the broad term including trade merchants and shopkeepers.)

Similar to the industrial revolution’s change in nomenclature, the advent of modern computing has delineated small businesses, which include shops and shop-like tech firms, from enterprises, which are industry-like ones. Mom-and-pops thinking of themselves as businesses is a modern phenomenon.
CO2 has a half-life of 120 years, so it seems like a chart of data covering 120 years is appropriate.

I get that, but I think you might also be missing something in the urgency to derive one particular meaning from the metaphor.

Imagine coming upon a window that was broken, and inferring that it must have been broken by "a thing". So you look for evidence - a rock, a hammer, something - all the while proclaiming that the cause was a given. All the while, you overlook that the initial fracture was there from the beginning and carried along every day by comparatively small amounts of thermal stress.

Could that also be a metaphor for some of the climate change hype? (I don't use the word "hype" to imply false. I use it in the context of "to promote or publicize extravagantly".)
Yes the Internet needs several viable search competitors but since the cost of maintaining all the data and creating a good algorithm are so high the barrier to entry seems almost insurmountable without some really clever innovations.

A charity does not make any profit.

The point being that, approximately, for every £10 that they get through donations or any other source, £9 goes to costs and £1 to actual charitable activities. Personally I would not donate to such a charity.
Real video codecs do temporal compression too, and considerably better than GIF.

The situations where GIF can be smaller or more efficient than real video codecs are generally esoteric, to the point where I’m happy to say that no one should ever use GIFs for block-level graphics.
