True. But I wonder if there are more special-purpose engines similar to Prince that have been abandoned.

> Did you ever consider integrating with web-platform-tests?

I've run some of the WPT tests manually, but I don't yet have <style> support, and some of them use <script> I think? That's a path I'm wary of (eval()?) but I could have a special mode just for tests.

I did discover lots of weird corners that would be great to make some WPT tests for. Definitely something I want to do!

You're mostly right in that it is similar to the problem of buffer bloat in networking. However, it's not quite the same thing because for example you can do things like write a file to disk & unlink it or overwrite some portion of contents, meaning that by buffering for longer you can avoid the writeback in the first place. By buffering for longer, the kernel is trying to balance things landing on disk and avoiding touching the disk if the dirtied data will be dirtied again. Granted not a common use-case these days, but consider the case where you have object files being created during a build over & over again. It's easy to construct scenarios where you indeed wouldn't want to write to disk so quickly.

It's not out of hand a terrible idea to avoid flushing data to disk and there's no free lunch here as any workload you optimize for will have a different workload that suffers. People try to come up with general heuristics that work in most situations on consumer machines, but there's no one size fits all for all HW + use-case combos. That's why hyperscalars tune the kernel beyond that / have kernel developers writing code to optimize for their use-case. It's telling that the performance analysis in the article is pretty hand-wavy without any clear demonstration of a concrete problem.

As for sync, I believe the author is mistaken. You can do fsync instead which is more efficient as it only creates a barrier for writeback of the file descriptor rather than a system-wide sync. And invoking fsync I believe is more common than sync. You should be able to have multiple parallel fsync happening concurrently for unrelated files that don't block on each other so much (ideally the kernel would prioritize those writebacks and interleave for fairness, but I doubt it does).
I saw this movie as a kid and it haunted me. Somehow, when the internet was still in its infancy (pre-WWW), the title popped into my head—I still don’t know how—and I was able to rent it on VHS at the local video rental store. It was startling how much I remembered from seeing it on TV at the age of 6 or 7.
I am far from saying that code like this doesn't and didn't exist, it does and it did a lot more back in the day, absolutely. But having read my fair share of spaghetti code written by bad programmers I can also say that you don't need gotos to make code bad and unreadable. If someone doesn't know know how to properly structure code they will manage just fine without a single goto and beyond some point it doesn't matter anymore if you add goto to the recipe since it's that bad already.

You mention shame and teaching and that's a valid point historically, I was told and taught the same things and wouldn't use goto at all until I figured out (myself) that certain kinds of cleanups and control flows become much less spaghetti and more readable by using goto. Instead of shaming and teaching a silly dogma "just because" people could have taught how to use it properly in those few idiomatic use cases. It's not rocket science. It's a shame (pun slightly intended) that some code is actually less readable than it could be just because someone was taught to never use goto because it was the easier explanation. It's like lying to children because you think they can't handle an honest explanation, in almost all cases it will bite you in the ass at some point.

> Which of those companies still have the influence they did at their peak?

Facebook is accused of having way too much influence on society as a whole on a constant basis.

MS is the money and computing power behind the hottest AI technology on earth. With Azure and AI they are arguably more influential than at any other time.

GM runs Cruise, which is busy inventing self driving cars and implementing the rules. They are also the largest manufacturer in the US. Hardly uninfluential.

> remember the 2010's when devs actually added new features for users to apps on a regular basis

AnkiDroid, Telegram, and the Tesla app are the only three applications that I've seen add actual features for end users, in years. Even Firefox has stagnated, and some apps like Google Translate have become difficult to use for anything other than the happy path. I just bought a new phone, a three year old model still in stock, and I'm not even updating the OS as the current OS allows me to record phone calls but the newer ones do not.

I am completely off the update treadmill.

The answer must also be within all of their domains of expertise for the 50% to have any meaning. You can’t have a “room full of smart people” as you’ll just arrive at suboptimal outcomes because your consensus relies on the lowest common denominator of understanding, which between experts in differing fields can be pretty low.
Yes, a _lot_ of WPT tests depend on <script>. But there's also a bunch of ref-tests, where you just check that A and B match pixel for pixel (where B is typically written in the most obvious, dumb way possible). It lets you test advanced features in terms of simple ones. But yes, you'd need selector support in particular.

Here's an interesting data point: a while back, my dentist noted that my teeth had significantly less plaque than the last time I'd had a cleaning. I'd changed over to a low-carb diet in the interim, & they stayed in good shape between that cleaning & the one after that. I've seen similar reports from others. Could it be that plaque is a problem far more because of diet (sugars, grains) than because of insufficient flossing? It would be worth a study, especially if clear results came of it one way or the other.

The punitive US Justice System doesn't seem to be as effective at deterring crime as Norway. There are other factors contributing to crime, such as equality of opportunity and income etc.

See https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Norway/Uni...

At a glance, major crime in the US is much more common than in Norway. Although the total crimes committed per 1000 population is higher in Norway... I'll go down a rabbit hole detailing how that number was derived.

> There's definitely not cars moving 40+ mph without making a lot of tire noise.

Based on what? A car with low resistance tires on concrete isn't going to make a lot of tire noise even at fairly high speeds.

> But seriously, can you find a single study saying wind is a dominant factor in road noise?

The one lumping tire noise and aerodynamic noise together is obviously contemplating that aerodynamic noise is a thing.

> Because, that's the sound it makes.

Tires make a rumbly sound, when you can hear them, as for example with the types of tires that make more tire noise.

> The fact that we're trying to figure out if wind or tires is the source of the noise that we both acknowledge is quite noticeable makes no difference except to support my actual point, that cars are loud.

There is a difference between something not being absolutely perfectly silent and something emitting a loud noise. Road noise for most modern cars at city speeds isn't loud. Exhaust noise for cars with negligently or intentionally defective mufflers is loud.

> if you make them contraband they will still be available in different ways and that measure will have the opposite effect.

Banning things doesn't make them impossible to get hold of but it does make it harder/more costly, which is all that any anti-crime measure can hope to achieve. Why do you say the opposite effect? This isn't like alcohol (or even, to an extent, weed) where a majority of ordinary decent people use it occasionally and want it to be available. Most people have never owned or used lockpicks and don't see any reason to have them if you're not a criminal. (And, sadly, that's probably also true of a flipper zero).

Dental insurance isn't actually insurance.

In insurance, you win, and are made whole when you are unlucky enough to suffer from a low-frequency, high-cost event.

With dental 'insurance', you always pay partially out of pocket, and as soon as you hit a (rather small) cap, you pay the rest entirely out of pocket.

It's not an insurance, it's a limited-access subscription service.

React can be added by rendering into a dom node that's not necessarily the root of your app.

Yes, it can be used to render the entire UI app with rich state management across all pages, routing, etc.

However it can just as simply be used to render 1 complex part of an app that has an isolated but possibly complex state. In this scenario I think sprinkling react is reasonable.

> many people have transpilers configured wrong

?

It's so that CommonJS modules can use ESM modules.

---

Like suppose examplelib uses otherlib, both in CommonJS.

The examplelib wants to upgrade otherlib, but the new version uses ESM. Now, examplelib is stuck either on the old version, or has to undertake a rewrite (and propagate this situation downstream). Or adopt a transpiler and force downstream users to do the same.

Some would say "just rewrite in ESM" and that is a nice idea, but there are lots of tools with caveats, TypeScript, Jest, anything that depends on require-in-the-middle, etc.

It's hard to boil the ocean. (Just look at Python 3.)
I've tried SpaceFn on a standard 65% keyboard with one spacebar, and I'm not a big fan of the experience. I found it difficult to get the timing right between registering press vs hold.

However, on a board with two spacebars — like Keebio's Quefrency or Sinc, or an Alice/Arisu board — I love it. I use my right thumb for space most of the time, so it's just a regular space key, and my left space is set up in SpaceFn style. Fn-B is a repeatable space key if I need it on that side but I hardly do.

I'm also weird in that I like to have the same modifiers on both sides, especially on keebs split in two. On a 65% with one spacebar, I use the Caps Lock key for left Function, and the bottom key of the rightmost nav column is End on press and Function on hold.

Control on Caps Lock is what gives me Emacs pinky for whatever reason. I keep two Control on the corners.

See the demo above. It runs on a free-tier VM from Oracle.

Minimum requirements are quite low. Mainly you need memory to get good performance (at least 4GB, say). CPU-wise it runs fine with massive libraries even on RPi.
