I wholeheartedly agree with this.

The offer a way to build custom components that you can use everywhere, on every frontend framework, or plain html page. That's something that can't be achieved with any other tool. Also, if you use the Lit framework to build web components, @property and @state are reactive. The DOM part that uses those variables updates by itself.

The explanation you gave is already contained in the cited Wikipedia article. I think this "ghoti" example is more of a tongue-in-cheek mocking of pronunciation inconsistencies. If you want a jarring example, consider laughter and slaughter. I know, i know, they have different origins, but still, it confuses foreigners like me while learning the language.

This was the same idea that crossed my mind while reading the article. It seems far too naive to think that because LLMs have no will of their own, there will be no harmful consequences on the real world. This is exactly where ethics comes to play.

I wonder if this is why BlackBerry phones (best ones ever made) went extinct. Because the media used to grab attention more aggressively, images and short videos essentially, are better experienced on a bigger screen. That's why there are no more iPhone minis. It's either convenient for Big Tech to keep us engaged to that type of media, or just simply user preference. Guess I'll never know, but I do miss smaller phones, and especially a physical keyboard.

What do you suggest as a better solution to a. give people the possibility to buy electronic books, while avoiding that the publishers and authors risk losing their intellectual property b. give libraries the possibility to lend ebooks fairly? This is a genuine question. Are there better solutions than DRMs? Is Apple, Adobe or Amazon dealing with this better?

I get this, but what I want to do is prevent unauthorised access altogether. Watermarks help if I want to sue someone after they've gained access to the information.

Also, the author of "Eloquent JavaScript", the book from which I learned the language. Endless respect for Marijn.
