The beauty of loose dynamic typing

Fucking modern web dev piece of shit where you can't even ctrl+F among the big list to find what you were seeking. Guess at least it covers a decent breadth of styles.

Of course. I am saying mentioning its open source says nothing about whether some of the nodes are CIA operated, etc

Tor is open source but nobody knows who runs the nodes

If you think that UX is bad, then I am sorry to state you are one of the reasons why the web is so bloated and slow in the first place.

>what chance do the rest of us have?

A huge and very easy opportunity. Current software is not just unoptimized, it is antioptimized to the neck. Any idiot could do far better than current "state of the art" if he is raised with prioritizing the correct things and understanding useless layers and crap for what it is.

>"quick execution"

I wonder where they are seeing this "quick execution". I for one am unable to see it as hard as I try to look.

>used extra blubber layers to simplify their life

"simplify" lmao

Or rather to create an artificial market and justify their pay. More deeply, it is a symptom of our economic system that forces to do such things for having a living.

Point is, most normal computer usage absolutely should NOT require a 10TB SSD and 256GB ram. It didn't for providing the same/more functionality a few years ago, why does it suddenly require these days?

More importantly spending 99% of the time on self-inflicted non-problems that come with using the web as application platform. For example that anyone can open any url anytime...that alone leads to so many problems related to security (user isn't supposed to be able to see/edit/etc this part) and flow (this page shouldn't be visited before filling a form in this other page, and or if we randomly visit there it would error out crazy, what if user deletes their session, what if network is lost which can happen literally any time in the applications life etc) and then of course theres the matter of anything that would be a trip to ram/local hard disk becomes a networked trip to a distant server.

Not for long. The js people have discovered Node.

> just old PC with Core i5.

with possibly 8 gigs of RAM?

Thats still WAY faster than most machines being used in the wild.

Sorry, your SV bubble is showing.

It's absolutely ridiculous how some content based websites require several MB of js to function. And the devs say this is because it is 'easier' to write such apps. And if the thought of optimization even comes to their minds, its just adding another layer on top of this madness to manage the layers below, or saying its too hard. Of course it is hard if you start with an overcomplex solution in the first place and try to trim away stuff from it. How hard exactly is it to write some plain html and css, with js doing some optional improvements? Most problems of web development are self inflicted.

I was talking to someone once about how ridiculously bloated Imgur is and that I had to use Imgoat because of the slow internet I was experiencing then. Of course they were trying to make all kinds of excuses like imgur not having servers nearby etc. But of course the really simple fact couldn't get to their heads that Imgur downloads like what 2-3 MB maybe even more of crap minus the actual image whereas Imgoat is something like 500 KB. No amount of network optimizations and caches etc are going to get over this fact. And also, such optimizations are over and above the page download size improvements anyways. If Imgoat used such techniques it'd be even faster. Most importantly: both sites have the exact same and simple core function, yet one site is so many times more bloated than the other. I will let you derive your own conclusions as to what this means.

And imgur also has the typical horrendous js misuses such as scrollbar hijacking that makes absolutely no sense etc.

Theres a huge spectrum between SPAs and pure js-less apps.
