This is why I'm hyped about the fedi. This is what it'll finally take to break our dependence on a centralized web. Essentially, the email model. I wish we followed this model earlier in the web 2.0 days.

All these decentralized alternatives don't have iPhone apps. It's app store policy that is blocking devs, ain't it?

I know right? Sites like these used to be linked so often. Now that this is no longer the case, I've easily forgotten about these old sites.

Now I'm wishing GitUp had this selection tool. Sadly you can only do operations one commit/branch at a time.

Signal Processing was that subject I found difficult and I found no reason to be interested in audio filtering, so I didn't find an incentive to work through that difficulty. Then I see applications of signal processing, like this, tha

If that first feature is true, it will bring me back to TypeScript. Honestly, my major deterrence of TypeScript was managing both 3rd party libraries and typing files.

I too was thinking of this article as well. A team might not always know what the boundaries of their data & code classification will be ahead of time.

Since we are on the topic of effectively distributing JS code to clients...why is there no push for delta updates on the web? There was a proposal for delta caching back in 2002: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3229

To a lot of you arguing that Progressive Enhancement doesn't apply to "web apps," as Jake Archibald argues[1], that really isn't an excuse if you can't distinguish it from what you consider a "web site." I

The article lead me to this comment by Rob Eisenberg who is skeptical about Web Components being ready. He states that currently, Web Components are not robust for more complicated uses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDtpX

You're correct, getting paid for posts is a strong incentive. In the end, we won't know unless we try. Personally, when I think of a decentralized reddit, there's nothing monetary about it. Simple points equate with popularit

As I commented on the article, I think this whole monetary system might deter adoption of the application. Either way, check out Freenet if you want to see prior art in creating a decentralized web: https://freenetproject.org&#x2

Yeah, but that popularity gave us the president and celebrities. Even better, I've seen more instances where someone would post a missing person or object or ask what a mysterious bug was and you'd have high chance of someone succ

I always feel strange being nostalgic about a website. Like I don't feel weird being nostalgic about a classic episode of The Simpsons or a rock concert, but for YouTube or Newgrounds or now Reddit, I do. I've used reddit for like

I adopted GTD back in college (around '08-'09) after learning about it from Merlin Mann and reading about it in the book "Dreaming in Code." If it taught me one thing, it taught me to learn how to say no to commitments.

I wish my errands were that eventful, but they just feel like chores. Give me a button to press away my chores and I'll spend my outgoing time at the pub with friends.
