Because mother fucker JS sucks and it’s a huge security problem. Fuck JavaScript. You don’t need a Turing complete, garbage heap language to watch fucking YouTube. You don’t need it for 99 percent of shit on the web and the only time you need it is so some ass hole can make a shitty rube-Goldberg website with dumb functionality that nobody likes.
And also because html only sucks. You need more than text and images to do most of the stuff that’s on the web. You need lots of stuff baked in like forums, form handling and whatever. If you had a browser/protocol that had image, text, video, forum, comment tree/collapsing, etc baked in rather than re-implemented by every fucking individual website in shitty horrible broken JS then it would be more secure, more uniform and higher performance. It would also have the astounding effect of lowering the complexity of browsers massively since they don’t have to do Js, which would mean we would have more than two fucking browsers and all those new browsers would compete with each other to best serve the interests of the users. As opposed to what we have now which is a bunch of fucking bullshit.
Don’t you ever say “derp derp derp html” again you dumb mother fucker
It’s not a problem of content creators. Assuming people are using ff/chrome, html mode only supports basic functions. If you had a new protocol/browser then you could have lots of style and functionally baked in. How are you going to do html only forums? Html isn’t enoug. And html sucks anyway. Expecting people to make html only content and view html only content is rediculous.
I don’t understand how nobody else sees this. We need a new app layer protocol that has common features of the web baked in. Distributing apps over JS is insanity and it needs to stop. Having each webpage be it’s own app needs to stop. JS causes so many problems it makes me want to scream.
If baked in simple text rendering, forum page rendering, video, image, sound and etc, you would cover what 99 percent of the internet is used for. Instead of each. Fucking. Website. Implementing all of these things independently in horrible, horrible JS, just bake it into the browser. No more JS nonsense, hacking, tracking, etc. this is such a simple and correct concept I don’t understand why it meets such massive resistance
All of this nonsense and chaos for what? So that people have a slightly easier time remembering the address of a website? DNS is a stupid and naive concept that was born in a time when the social and security consequences of an internet were not understood well. Why do we continue to use this shitty system? JS is the same: it sucks. It causes all kinds of problems and for basically nothing in return. The web is fucking broken and it frustrates me.
This is the key quote. Why is this article trying to make it seem like women are getting the short end of the stick? As far as I can tell men and women buy the same amount of chocolates. Also, they say that women are spending thousands of yen ... that’s like 20 dollars. This article is filled with click bait deception and frankly it’s garbage.
If you ever get married, buy a real ring from Tiffany’s, have the stone removed, sell it, and have it re-set with zirconium.
There’s an under appreciated problem with spinning space stations: they would be set off balance by uneven distribution of weight around the ring. This would make small scale rings a bit problematic because people and stuff need to move around. Rings the size of halo would have enough mass that the movement of people wouldn’t be enough to matter.
> old people seem to believe things just because they are published
Yeah, the dumb ones do. That’s not because of the generation they grew up in, it’s because there are dumb people in every generation. There are just as many people in the newest generations who believe anything that comes from the mouth of an authority figure.
The poop emoji and the used toilet paper emoji represent something that 100 percent of the population does daily, so by your own logic they are vastly more qualified for emojihood than a period emoji.
I don’t understand why emojis are a part of Unicode. Unicode was an effort to unify the world under one character set, which is a grand and historic idea. Emojis are not grand and they will sour with time and I hate them. Why did we add all this nonsense mush to the fundamental literary foundation of human civilization? It’s only logical to make a fundamental and foundational thing as simple and intuitive as possible. Emojis were a huge mistake and one that is now baked into human society probably forever.
I remember having battle royal games in gmod in 2008. I think a lot of people intuitively felt the potential of a good battle royal game, but it just took a long time for technology, culture and developers to get it right. It’s really inspiring to me that battle royal has been around so long, and that even h1z1 failed, which probably caused most people to finally dismiss BR as a contender for such popularity. I think this is an illustration of how potential and arbitrage is all around us, even in places that have seemingly been exhausted.
I would disagree. 4chan was the nucleation point from which our modern lives sprung. It was the start of a very fundamental shift in the way people live. 4chan was the place where regular people and high bandwidth internet became married, and where the consequences of that union first materialized. I remember people would find online obituaries and organize raids on the family of the deceased, in one instance tormenting the parents of a deceased child with prank phone calls. People would live stream their suicides and other people would watch them and actually egg them on in the chat. The consequences of total anonyminity was a completely new concept back then, completely new territory. It’s something we have become accustomed to now. Meme culture was totally new, seemingly silly but underpinned by a fundamental arbitrage in communication that proved to be very important. You were not only experiencing these new things, but experiencing them as a part of a relatively small and exclusive group of people. 4chan was a microcosm of the future, and that is what made 4chan so amazingly potent. Pokémon go doesn’t even hold a candle to that in my view.
It’s very interesting that the founder of 4chan ended up being super liberal leaning.
I remember when I first visited 4chan sometime in 2006. It was totally unlike anything I had seen before. I remember feeling as though I had found an entirely new universe to explore and exist in. Back then, when you refreshed b, no matter how frequently, there was essentially no recycling of threads. The volume back then was so high that browsing b was like swimming in a vibrant ocean of the future — a relentless torrent of human thought and memes. Back then, memes were exclusive to 4chan. Nobody knew what a meme was and you could only find them on 4chan. I remember when memes starting appearing on clothing and mainstream places it felt very weird. B is now a shell of what it used to be. In life, every once in a while you get to experience something like early b. I hope I get to do it one more time before I die.
