I'm not sure if I'd call the latter much of a "datapack" in the first place ;p
because while yes, technically it is, I don't think it's that much of an improvement over the "x in only one command (which summons lots of other command blocks)"
maybe someday specific terms will emerge for the types...
maybe it was preference at first, some people finding it annoying to deal with cpio's file list, and it built up to the modern stuff like builtin integration with compressors (probably coinciding with tar.gz becoming the de facto *nix archive)?
I personally find xz and cpio both cool, despite both being barely used ;)
also, a little cheap addition would be saying the "you're viewing this page: online/offline, last refresh: now/two days ago" or such, and possibly either a button, or automatic popup for the "add to home/desktop" pwa button...
I'm rather sad that for example Battery API is deprecated... possibly might need a browser-wide toggle, but still...
It can both be cool, and useful....mostly cool, though...
you could have a complete web desktop (there several web desktops, and even more "fake" ones, like windows93) that shows the status, or a webpage that switches to dark mode with minimal javascript and theming, when battery is low, or a low distraction writing environment for example, that still notifies you of low battery, etc...
more and more people are using battery-powered devices ;)
pretty sure iTablets have a do-not-disturb mode too, which should take care of most immediate distractions, but this thingy could help in the way that yeah, you CAN'T check social media etc...(for which there are apps too, at least on android, which can lock up certain apps with a timer)
weird, how everybody has a negative sentiment, but also doesn't consider not using the fields as the labels indicate... and ALSO thinks this 8s an "online" thingy for some reason...(it just has a javascript version, just like it has a python version)
you don't need a full username or email at the "user" field, can just use gmail@alice or JohnDoe-bank.com and whatnot, similarly with the "site" field...
can also cut them all off, say, skip the first, or last character...
you don't need the same master password... but more than that, you don't need to start at counter ONE...
you might start at counter len(domain) or len(name), for example...
IF you have 1000+ passwords, by all means, use a traditional manager... but this is perfect for people with less passwords, no sync needed if you don't want to, your passwords file cannot get lost or stolen, etc...
have you ever heard of backups and archiving? ;)
there are lots of scenarios when you'd want to write some amount, but not read it back for a while, if ever...
that'd need trust that they won't run off with your drives, their basement won't get flooded, there aren't power outages often, they have good protections against surges and whatnot...
which at ANY datacenter, is automatically included ;)
to me seems a very simple first step:
just require extention devs to notify people on owner change, possibly with a standard way...
just a lil popup or icon asking "extention X has been aquired by Y, it has permissions A, B, C, D, are you OK with this?"
I'd bet most of them are quite "low quality art", but interesting anyway...
plus, afaik, generally the image itself is not that important, as is the story behind it, if you have a story, a black square is a masterpiece, if you don't, it's junk...
generative art is of a completely different tune...
even if for this style they might not be that different results, the neural net(s) here (the "AI") can have details and textures simple math cannot, such as I saw a horse head in one, some other things in others...
but it's still very cool, even if the site may or may not be slightly deteriorating (top banner's broke for me, wouldn't be surprised if some other stuff was too)...
how about... you pretend they're just from an infinite amount of anonymous authors?
some of them feel pretty real to me, but then again, I don't know a thing 'bout this...
were someone to make a catalogue of them, with random names and possibly authors, would you not enjoy it then, too, if you believe them to be made by humans?
they don't say how or where they get the info, and failed to get lyrics of a song, despite recognizing and listing it in the dropdown...
no mention of WHERE it tried to get the lyrics and failed...
I love how there's only a single browser or two in the entire world, lol (safari I've got bo clue about)
that's while assuming chrome and firefox's debugging streams would be compatible....
you assume I don't use any forks, or custom versions, what if I use an Electron based browser?
what about Pale Moon or other forks which have older, if any, such interfaces?
what about Opera?
etc etc, you get the point...I hope...
quite enjoyable, and agreed, a lot of stuff is about WHAT amazing stuff you can do, but very little is advertised HOW to do...
kinda sad AM radio is basically dead, since it can be fun making a simple AM receiver at home, it's even in a "fun experiments" kids book I have, I think it's only like, about 5 components or such...
on the other hand, with teens and above you can teach soldering with radio kits (obviously not the first thing, but possibly about 3rd or 4th kit) , some are nice having like, one surface-mount chip you have to figure out too, which would be a nice next-level one "now you know the basics, wanna go beyond that?"
then there's the massive amount of cool stuff SDR (software defined radio) enables which isn't even mentioned to exist in the article...
of course, I think everyone here would agree it's always good to have an API... too bad you're not gonna succeed in pushing this "rule" out, especially scraping stuff...bot bans are in part because it's rather easy to overload the system with bot calls, which, since they use same page as users, will also affect normal users...especially taxing if the page is dynamic with server-side stuff, like maybe some aspx or php page, which at best would just hog the system resources, at worst could possibly break altogether (most likely due to no free ram), etc...
I'm no expert tho, so these specifics might be wrong...
So NOW, finally, I get why Discworld multiverse's L-space is like it is...
Yes, it's also Library-space, but it's also this, complex organically growing and readjusting system where it's hard to not get lost...
I'm sad caching http proxies are all abandoned nowdays...
I bet those would also help noticeably, there's enough stuff browsers don't know to cache...
also in proxy vein, adblockers cannot be blocked, only in-browser convenient ones can...and ublock origin dev edition got lately hit on the chrome app store again ("lately" as in this year), I think...for no reason...
as other people said, the AMP is good so devs have a justified practical reason to push back against the lazy clients who'd happily have 20mb pages over their fiber connection...but it's bad in every OTHER way...
google monopoly really should be broken...they got like, 90% of BOTH search engine, and browser market...and a lot of people don't even know alternatives EXIST...
why do people got such stupid nowdays...
iirc they're also pushing for a new extention standard, for firefox and stuff too, which is very adblock-crippling...wouldn't be so bad if it was ONLY chrome...
also, loopback proxy to localhost with a standalone blocker is the next step they'll force us to take ;p
yep, we sure need this stuff...small stuff is a lot easier to manage too...
also while not very related, I love the SQRL login idea, which is also decentralized, and also not in any final stage yet (but would allow kinda anonymous login, as in, no identifiable usernames, and would be able to also for example optionally open page on desktop, auth with phone by scanning a qr code, and as such avoid any keyloggers and potentially network sniffers, even (and the app shows info, so can't fake the code either, and even then that'd only hijack a single session, unlike passwords))
