I look forward to this never happening again and not becoming a massive problem for the next 10 years.

Corporations really are amazing. They are, simultaneously, in a superposition of getting away with crimes because they don't exist, and providing goods and services and benefitting shareholders because they do.…
No they don't. Rules for companies and individuals are different in this country, unless you possess some secret to getting away with potentially ruining the lives of 1.5 times the population of the United States with…
Ah, so you want a service that forces employers to tell the truth. I think that's called "Congress", but it looks like it's been abandoned for a few years now.
Crazy idea: provide a search box, and when the user hits "enter", POST the data to the backend, which queries the database, and then returns the relevant results.
Until Google decides to give developers the ability to let the browser invade the rest of the system, which, in six months, will suddenly be necessary for everyone to do things like bank online and pay utility bills.
Web browsers can already do that. I'm not sure what else is desired beyond what they already do.
A lot of people died of heat stroke in India today.
I'm sorry one injury invalidates an entire mode of transit. Better luck next planet, I guess.
None of these things are in scope for a program that is supposed to browse the web (by fetching web pages and rendering them).
Could it actually be the hundreds of megabytes of JavaScript each website insists on executing?
I truly do not understand the complaints about Firefox, the browser (and not Mozilla's questionable stewardship thereof). Every time someone starts talking about their issue, it's either something super niche and…
Those web APIs aren't actually standard (WebUSB, for example, is still in draft status), and they have some gnarly privacy implications. Google steamrolls over standards bodies, and then somehow people believe their…
Programs that don't require an entire web browser to run can already do all of those things.
Firefox has a low market share because Chrome is the default browser on so many systems and in IT departments everywhere. 99% of people don't think about which browser they want to use.
OCR and pattern matching on text are computationally cheap and incredibly easy to do. For example, tax documents often bear the name of your government's tax authority, which presumably you are familiar with and can…
No, that's an important facet of compatibility. If a change is purely additive, existing clients will keep working, something the industry has basically forgotten all about, it seems.
Well yeah, who knew that letting your frontend developers blow up your database because nobody talks to each other or designs things anymore would be a bad idea?
