The existence of meatspace never stopped the early web from flourishing, so why should the existence of the modern web stop anybody from making a second web? The only reason that Google was useful is because it tapped…

15 years ago, I used to keep many tabs of youtube videos open just because the "related" section was full of interesting videos. Then each of those videos had interesting relations. There was so much to explore before…
Consolidation on narrow themes is ensured by our reliance on query->answer search engines. If you think about the shape of the web at the time Google introduced PageRank, It was a huge graph of content connected by…
Don't forget that development tools are also comically slow and bloated.
For the same reason you need a stack or a queue for depth/breadth first search. Open tabs represent yet to be completed work. It took work in the first place to open those tabs. If you close them you lose that work.

It's funny you say that, because that's more or less how non-tech people seem to think about programming. It's not naturally intuitive to them that renaming files, rocket trajectory simulation, and data analytics are…
I think this is essentially a false dichotomy. It's possible to experience the loss of both of those eras, as well as the current one whenever it passes. There's no inherent conflict in wanting them all back.
That's not a contradiction, is it? Selective engagement and non-engagement are different things. It's reasonable for some individuals to be generally less sociable than others. That doesn't mean it's OK to explicitly…
This is such a huge downside with subscription services in general. The product itself can change right under your nose and there's nothing you can do about it but cancel. First I was paying to filter out content, now…

Why does starting with ones' compliment make things easier? IMV, it makes it more confusing, because two's compliment seems like an arbitrary leap that happens to work. If you're tasked with mapping a subset of…
Two questions: 1. Whose role is it to make judgements about whether people should be able to find certain kinds of content? 2. Do you think modern recommendation systems are better at keeping people away from that kind…

lemmy.world, for whatever reason, absolutely guzzles CPU cycles. I can't imagine what it could possibly need to do that requires executing that much javascript. It's all minimized, so it's hard to follow in the profiler.
