Your observation that it's possible to build xyz type of websites does not adequately discount the necessity of such features.

I'm talking about improving those lightweight and beautiful websites even further. I implement some of those features on every project, to deliver the maximum content & experience quality in every network and device condition possible.

You can't seriously try to shoe-horn the entire platform into whatever your vision of beauty is. Please keep an open mind about a complex future medium, that can effectively accommodate Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Photoshop, Open Office, Google Maps, Skype, Auto CAD, Grand Theft Auto VR, ...

We need a decent @media equivalent in HTML.

We need a bandwidth @media selector (that is kept up to date with recent conditions by the browser).

We need optional (viewport conditioned) lazy loading built into the spec.

It's time for these features to become part of the web stack, but maybe we need a codified mediaQuery.js first.

I wonder if they're going anywhere in particular, or just spreading out.

We need to use Make for sensible (partial) rebuilds of static websites. I'm exploring ways to build a dependency graph out of Handlebars files. That might be enough to generate a Makefile and leave Gulp/Grunt out of the equation. Anyone doing anything similar?

Take-away: Always download the script and execute it locally. An attacker may change the underlying script once you pipe it to shell.

I thought I'd repost the lawful spying guides by the biggest cloud service providers [1] (including Microsoft). There's a great one from the Hotmail era I couldn't find on a whim though.

I think Derek Wyatt's screencasts[1] are precisely what you're looking for. You won't be able to help but pick up a few things along the way.

Frankly, his profile page[1] doesn't really do any favors for his content. There's great stuff in there, but the timeline has less impact than a blog index or a Twitter feed. I'm wondering if he might have been more at home on Tumblr.

It's just an info-graphic. A reminder at how important it is to have weekly goals. The squares toggle, so I could mark the current week, or a short period. I think it's pretty awesome you drew a smiley face :-)

Wow. I think it's sort of silly to spend so much time arguing about your evaluation of the reporter's competence. If you were truly interested, you could have gotten their opinion by now.

What about the place being a hellhole and how to fix it?

The minified bundle.js for the boilerplate is 600kb. I would recommend gzipping, and packing fonts to a separate bundle.

Pretensions of cleverness sounds more accurate, the correct implementations are often intrinsically clever, I agree.

I think Apple would have to have a highly backwards compatible and modular iOS for that to even make sense. I have an old iPhone 4 running iOS 6, and I don't think it passes for a useable device. Apple could make the latest iOS backwards compatible, and find ways to reduce computing requirements by omitting functional or visual features, but that would completely counter the current artificial obsolescence tactics. It's unfair to offload those to a developing market, until they decide to support a greater fragmentation of the platform.

Moreover, we should avoid the general attitude of 'cleverness' in programming. We've all spent hours dealing with a needlessly intricate piece of code someone else, or a younger us, wrote in a moment of meta-programming / monadic delusion. To me it's telling, that I'm sometimes even more frustrated after I fully comprehend the mental model. Especially if it's apparent, that the person employing the complexities is a junior, or a superficial expert. Be a boring programmer. It won't exactly make your peers 'adore you', but you'll save yourself and your team a lot of time and effort.

Thanks for this wonderful essay! I love learning about that period in computing, when a lot of what we use today was first challenged. It's easy to see how those same principles apply to the GRaIL visual programming interface demo[1], where different strokes create different types of elements (boxes, outputs, connections, ...).

Nobody even noticed the middle-ma'am though.

The extensions were hard to compose, because inheritance is such a dominant paradigm in Backbone.

It may be an overreaching assertion. But do you seriously think that the way advertising channels lose effectiveness and die out is sustainable? We're really good at gradually learning to ignore the meaningless noise, that's why entrenched brands market to kids. I think that an interpretation of that shorthand could be: that we see through fake authenticity, that we're repulsed by condescending approaches, that we will work towards keeping top down advertising out of our conversations, and that we will, as always, eventually just learn to ignore it. Those things are proven to be true, too.

I need two things to consider this:

- Like semantics (Like to mark as completed?)

- Markdown

I suggest using the desktop app with global hotkeys for Search and Vault. I got used to it, and actually prefer how I can now seamlessly access login details from a Terminal window.

Using Git blame with Sublime GitGutter comes close: https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter

Keep.

Suggestion: Increase the width of the index table and remove the body margins. The table with the id `hnmain` should have it's width changed from 75% to 100%, and this CSS should be added: `body { margin: 0; };`

Netflix could not become what it is today without net neutrality.

Peckham might be considered up and coming, but it doesn't look like much :-S
