Choo-Choo!

I think the name is probably hurting adoption.

The creature it refers to pretty universally considered repulsive. I'm no psychologist or anything, but I would expect that to have an undue influence on even the most rational person.

OMG they went full·on WALL·E

Where do I put my 50 ounce soda?

I don't know; do you want to build services that depend on random hardware on residential internet connections, hoping they stay online, while exposing metadata to the entire WAN or slowing it down with some kind of mixnet protocol?

To me, edge networks make more sense. Distribute your services across datacenters close to your users.

Stop implementing them, and move to key & pin. Use backup keys instead of resets. Stop depending on email and SMS.

[Meta] god damn it why is scrolljacking still a thing?

( And if they fail at this, why would I trust them with anything else? )

Shame!

You'll likely still want to bundle for production, though, for the optimizations like minification, dead code elimination, module splitting, etc.

But yeah, JS is Crazy Town. It can be very frustrating.

( Be wary of dependencies. )

Chimba.

The web is Google's platform now, and they're locking it down.

It's time for a new web, and a new user agent with a minimal core so it isn't impossible to implement.

atrilumen | 5 years ago | on: Why P2P deserves another chance

What I don't like about P2P is that it depends on peers being online at the same time, and it exposes metadata to the whole network instead of only law enforcement and sophisticated / well-funded attackers.

Have you tried reading it?

( Not sure "obfuscated" is the word I'd use, though. )

atrilumen | 6 years ago | on: Do We Need Specificity in CSS? (2015)

I really admire http://tachyons.io, with its principles of shallow cascade and low specificity.

( It really sucks to have to jump in and work with some project's massive blob of vestigial, conflicting styles. )

Is anyone working on an alternative to NPM?

Maybe the title should indicate what kind of project?
