Woah that’s crazy how did you add the Kill Bill siren sound to your comment?

In revenge for reminding me of Frontpage I will also mention Dreamweaver. God just the memory of trying to clean up copy text someone edited in Frontpage is giving me nausea.

If you have any love for Hollow Knight you will probably enjoy Nine Sols.

Thanks, but the reason I don’t have to imagine is because that job is a memory.

People genuinely thought ColdFusion would allow untrained businessmen to make complex websites with no coding, only markup. It could generously be described as a “web framework”, and it was released in 1995.

Haha yeah… imagine… right.

There’s no gecko without Netscape either, but one of those isn’t around anymore.

firefox is not gecko, but yeah there is a depressing lack of viable alternatives

The situation is always more complicated than a single graph can represent. Which is why I’m taking this in consideration with other context, and it’s solidifying my impression that Mozilla is failing and I need to find a firefox alternative before they shit it up further chasing money to pay their CEO a ridiculously inflated “market rate”. What good is some theoretical increased profitability (they’re a non-profit!) if all it does is serve to further inflate already inflated compensation packages?

Does it make sense for a CEO to be paid more while the business they manage dwindles?

Being a non profit doesn’t exclude you from getting investments. I’m sure the first on the scene leader of this wretched AI bullshit would have no trouble gathering whatever funding they need if they remained a non profit. The only thing this changes is how easily they can extract the profit from the business into private hands.

That’s fair. I just assume most people who reflexively insult JS are like that usually because they’ve written something in it, rather than having dealt with the many vulnerabilities and annoyances browsers have made possible with it

People from outside the industry have seen a profit opportunity and decided to invest. As investors, they think they’re smarter than everyone else, even the people they pay to do things for them. Since they have no attachment to games as a medium they’re wowed by flashy visuals, and since investors have the money you need to produce a game, you cater to their tastes if you want to get paid.

Browser permissiveness didn’t create implicit type coercion.

Not as hard, I agree but reimplementing just CSS sounds like a very special level of hell.

It sounds like they’re a hybrid between hydrogen fuel cells and a traditional battery. Here’s the most digestible explanation I could find of how they work, but I can’t really speak to the quality of the source. https://www.solarkobo.com/post/proton-batteries

It seems to be a semantic distinction. Likely done to distance it from hydrogen fuel cells since these don’t require infrastructure for the storage and transport of elemental hydrogen.

Sounds like they ought to just ban that shit entirely rather than just outlawing the advertisement.

Why would they consider anything like that? they want China to be worse, not America to be better.
