caniuse.com already lists Edge for standards support and, just like IE, it falls short in many areas despite what Microsoft claims and in far more areas of compliance than any other browser.
I'm surprised that, so far, HN hasn't raked the college over the coals for this as they typically do. I'm sure that, if anyone was wearing a badge at the time, it would be held as an example of police corruption everywhere and a police state.
All I read was "We're too small to keep up with the software changes and our game can't compete with everyone else in the field." None of that is Apple's fault.
I came to say the same thing. This is another, "Poor black me" article where he's offended by everything he construes to be against him. As if Atlanta is better.
Your examples presume there was something better than CGI at the time and the other products are better than something else. For one, I wouldn't be caught dead using any of the products you mentioned.
You claim IIS by using a ZDNet article from two years ago but the reality is IIS is number three behind Nginx and Apache. Still, being a distant #2 is nothing to brag about.
Now you're trying to claim clients are what powers the web but that's not the topic. What an amateur uses does not define what the professional uses. And to claim not wanting to be on the bleeding edge of things is no excuse for falling behind. Firefox and Chrome knocked IE off its perch years ago by being on the bleeding edge.
The web was built, and runs on, *nix/BSD. Windows is an outlier. Windows can't even get the slashes going the right way. There's a reason 80% of internet traffic does not use Windows.
There will always be someone greater or lesser than yourself. Don't worry about it. You hear about the successes but not how they got there. Half the time it was a lucky break; being in the right place at the right time. Other times they worked 100-hour weeks for a year, got divorced, and their kids hate them.
Then, next week, you never hear about them again. Well, maybe a couple of them you will, a year later, but not the others. They're forgotten.
Do what you want to do and quit relying on other people's stories to make you miserable. They aren't you and there are plenty of people, here on HN, who wish they were in your position.
Whether you agree or not with how they got to prison has nothing to do with how a prison should operate. The point is prison's do what they do with people incarcerated and no one should consider it as a nice place to spend some time.
So, we should let everybody go? You're complaining as if jails should be abolished and, seemingly, all laws, too.
While innocent people do go to jail, most people in jail are not innocent. You only hear about the innocent ones cause it makes the news but, by far, most people are in jail cause they deserve to be there.
Apparently you don't understand what a prison is for or how those people got there. Your point a) implies you think prisoners are not bad people which stands out to me.
You are in prison to be punished for what you did AND pay back your debt to society.
It makes sense today and isn't cryptic at all. Perhaps to outsiders it is but we're not outsiders. We know it stands for something and "stream editor" should make sense. Looking it up is a matter of "man sed" or, in my case long ago, I'd turn to the guy sitting next to me and ask him.
Yes, awk is an exception, and there are others, but they aren't the rule.
In most cases, it's not cryptic or strange at all and makes perfect sense. This article ignores history. Back then, names were shortened to save every available byte cause ram and disk usage was so limited. It was also easier to type when you did everything from the command line. In addition, a lot of these were created in some lab somewhere, like Bell Labs, and they had no intention of you using it.
Long ago, when I heard of awk and sed, the first thing I did was ask what they stood for. I would think any seriously interested computer person would do the same thing.
Your complaint is about people who don't know what XML is and how to use it and broken tools, not XML. XML does not cause any of the examples you show.
