Sorry, Bill, it's already game over. The Dark Side won. Witness Lavender and Where's Daddy used by the IDF to target extended Palestinian families for execution. The "most moral army in the world" has devised an AI system which removes the agency and morality of mass murder. Game over.

I predict 2027 will be the year of the PWA ... and desktop Linux.

AirBnB.

Codebases like Stripe?

Proton Mail is excellent as is their password manager and VPN.

Macbook Pro rival running ..... Windows?! I'd take a bottom of the line Macbook over anything running 'doze.

CSS, especially the box model, was not consistent across browsers.

Nothing has changed. The "flashy web" of the 2000s was ... Flash. Corporates paid premium rates to Flash Designers who couldn't write a line of HTML.

Responsive design out of the box? Were you actually there? Back in 2000 you could make a career out of scripting browser polyfills or "DHTML".

Joker, Janet, Glojure and now Let-go. Am I missing something?

Maybe people will finally take Marx seriously.

It must be hard to remain sane, let alone happy, after 2 terms of Donald Trump.

Default EmDash size: 483Mb. Default WordPress size: 70Mb. That's progress?

Perl is incredibly elegant once you take the time to grok it. The real issue is today's limited attention span.

The answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, as we all know, is 42. Who needs Claude when you have Deep Thought.

... and is built with Next.js including no less than 12 enormous x-font-woff2 chunks of data at the top of the source code and another big __NEXT_DATA__ JSON chunk at the bottom. Hardly lean, vanilla HTML and CSS.

MVT for testing mobile spyware? There are whole sectors of industry, such as cybersecurity, where Python shines and Ruby is nowhere to be seen.

Try Clojure. Macros make method_missing look primitive.

Sounds like Scala type fetishism all over again.

iWeb was an utter monstrosity. Worse than MS Front Page, which I didn't think was possible.

Making dynamically typed, single threaded languages faster via JIT usually comes at the cost of a significant increase in memory consumption which for businesses smaller than Shopify is a much more significant factor.

"We're only making plans for Nigel" (XTC, 1979)

Teach your kids how life is about getting something for nothing. Great parenting.

I look forward to another of Sam's brilliant creations. It's a shame Overtone was abandoned as I think Clojure is the perfect language for this type of project.

Smart fridge. Get a life.

MTBF?

Yes, I remember when Kubernetes hit the scene and it was only used by huge companies who needed to spin-up fleets of servers on demand. The idea of using it for small startup infra was absurd.
