Nice retelling of the story behind WebAssembly.
Very in depth review of the mess of a Matrix home server vide coded at Cloudflare... all the way to the blog announcing it. Unsurprisingly this didn't go well and they had to cover their tracks several times. The response from the Matrix foundation is a bit underwhelming, it's one thing to be welcoming, it's another to turn a blind eye to such obvious failures. This doesn't reflect well on both Cloudflare and the Matrix Foundation I'm afraid.
Those are indeed getting more popular. In a way that's unfortunate, we shouldn't need them so much.
Good point, it is old but portable and carries the important concepts. This is a good teaching vehicle. Even though it's unlikely you'd use it in the wild much longer.
Telnet is not dead! We still have fun places to turn telnet clients to.
What a surprise... No really who would have expected this could happen? I heard so many times "I have nothing to hide" over the years. When something like this happens you suddenly wish you were a bit more careful with your privacy and the privacy of the people around you.
Huh? What's going on there? I don't see why they would exclude this domain completely, it makes no sense.
Nice advice, there's a lot of variation on the role. And yet, some things seem to always be there.
Clearly not a style which works for any and every applications. Still, it's definitely a good thing to aim towards such an architecture. It brings really nice properties in terms of testability and safety.
Interesting point. As we see the collapse of public forums due to the usage of AI chatbots, we're in fact witnessing a large enclosure movement. And it'll reinforce itself as the vendors are training on the chat sessions. What used to be in public will be hidden.
Solving paper cuts pay off faster than you'd think.
Looks like an interesting tool to follow availability of C++ features in compilers.
It's a solution for a problem long gone. SPAs should be the exception for highly interactive applications not the norm. Most web applications don't need to be a SPA and would be better off without being one.
The complexity and cost in organisations is indeed mostly about coordination. This is a difficult problem and largely unsolved in fact.
Indeed, it's just can't be called decentralized...
Looks like a nice tool to help people to get into RSS.
The contrast is indeed very stark. I got my own bias and fondness for heroic failures.
The approach is interesting. I wouldn't assume it's doable in every contexts though. What's sure is that you need to embrace the uncertainty and accept to go with the exercise. Estimates are needed to make decisions and help teams to sync.
Are we surprised? Of course not... As soon as you backup the keys on someone else's server BitLocker can't do anything to ensure privacy.
Are you sure you want to trust that random project you got provided with? Really?
