Easy for you to say sitting in your first-world, comfortable house with a job that pays you $250,000 USD a year. Try visiting a third (or even second) world country.

You're reading Vice. What did you expect?

The example produces a 670KB binary for "Hello world". Why would I use this over C++?

carmate383 | 6 years ago | on: Use links not keys to represent relationships in APIs

Why on earth would one trade off a short, static unique identifier for a potentially long, dynamic "link" that essentially binds all data to some crappy API that will be outdated in a few years? Is it really _that_ hard to use keys?

This has nothing to do with Microsoft, and instead reads like a blog entry of a narcissistic, selfish young lady. Good riddance.

NEW website. As in, ONCE and FIRST TIME.

If you're sending JavaScript down the line with every request, you're doing it wrong and should give up your career.

The irony is, the same people complaining about 500kb are probably the same people using a 100MB+ terminal emulator built using a web browser (i.e. hyper).

Goodbye React. You were good to no-one.

Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective. And it's the truth. Why should the truth be watered down? Just to make a few sensitive people feel better? That's not reality. As far as I'm concerned, that is fraud.

"New Blazing Fast WebGL Engine". Wow really? Major changes - "Emoji support". For fucks sake, seriously?

Am I the only one that doesn't want anything of the following _bull shit_?

* A terminal emulator that is dependent on an entire web browser (not to mention the layers upon layers of bullshit abstractions all to run something from the 70s).

* Support for "emojis" (I mean, come on. It's a _damn terminal_).

* To execute code that can hijack control of my shell from any of the 956 dependencies[1] this _heap of shit_ relies on.

Well, it was fun whilst it lasted Firefox. Sorry, but this is a deal-breaker for me.

Hello Chromium again...

It took that many people to build a glorified JavaScript wrapper? Good god.

Sounds like you're stuck up there on your high horse. Come down and chill out dude.

And how much money do you donate to Mozilla to fund their abandonware habbit?

carmate383 | 7 years ago | on: Mozilla WebThings

And if Mozilla keeps making the same mistakes it will go nowhere.

carmate383 | 7 years ago | on: Mozilla WebThings

A failed OS is being paired with a failing Mobile manufacturer. Good riddance.

carmate383 | 7 years ago | on: Mozilla WebThings

How exactly is that "eating up global market share"?

carmate383 | 7 years ago | on: Mozilla WebThings

Source for the supposed "eating" of global marketshare? I can't find any marketshare report that even mentions such an OS.
