The issue was solved by having a rich and Turing complete language. I am not huge on adding language features. This seems like userland stuff.

A physical business can put up a closed sign. That closed sign has 24/7 uptime. (Sans vandalism, natural disasters)

I guess for a website you could do similar by flicking cloudflare over to an IP serving a were closed.

But you won't be competitive and you will lose customers!

Logs, tests, debugging, ask questions, build a mental model, test that mental model. The more experience I get the less I guess.

Yes for holiday planning. At work we are a massive confluence/rovo user so that is my go to with very occasional search engine use.

Our projects heavily use platform tools so I am looking there rather than Googling.

500ms means a slow connection, high latency or significant bloat.

Optimising the page and using a CDN can help alot.

It is a shame HTML doesn't have rel="swap" in links to "swap" in a new page.

Yes if you click a regular link in a modern browser on a noJS or lowJS reasonable size page it is darn fast.

And the predictability is a boon. Open in new tab, back button etc.

Pre-trump: Why does China need US debt? They can be paid US $ for stuff then buy US assets like stocks instead? Then they get rich without worrying if they get paid. (Assuming the US doesn't break down basic corporate norms and confiscate assets)

Japanese websites have a great aversion to even 2005 level Web homogeneity, let alone the modern tailstraps.
