If you have built something worth lasting 100 years, other people will help you ensure that it does. That reduces the concerns in this article considerably.

I think you're reasoning about this backwards. They don't worry about setting harder spending limits because the revenue continues to increase. If the revenue cut back, you call it "naive" to suppose that they could put 2 and 2 together and cut spending. So they should be fiscally conservative and think of the future when they expect themselves to be... profligate and short-sighted? Why?

You started this page in 2017. The revenue has continued to increase at as steady a pace as expenses. And an argument along the exact same lines as yours could have been made in 2009 or 2010 or 2011. Actually, your argument has gotten weaker -- expenses used to be higher than the previous fiscal year's revenue, but in recent years the growth has been much flatter.

There's no compelling reason to think that now is the time to act to make sure that it's not too late to act at some vague future point in time. Sure, something can't grow forever. Granted. But are we at 127 grains of rice or 131,071? How can you tell?

The people criticizing AMP are not necessarily the same people "loading up simple web pages with hundreds of scripts."

Google AMP is merely the next iteration of Google Sites.

The fact that metaflow works directly in Python piques my interest. I can lint it, I can test it, I can format it, I can easily extend it.

I've been hesitant to commit myself and my collaborators to yet another DSL -- and that's part of why I haven't seen much to offer in snakemake and nextflow.

It doesn't even make sense with the data being presented.

> After we burn through our reserves, it seems likely that the next step for the WMF will be going into debt to support continued runaway spending

Um, the graph shows that the reserves are increasing every year. Money in exceeds money out year after year.

As a grad student I made a total $1,300 per month, but ten years later I'm spending that on just housing costs. So what?

Kind of disappointing to see that level of testing failure. A leap to assume there is something specifically strange about `666` without even trying `665`...

Were we in a "pre-truth" world a century ago?

I like the idea. The scrollbar jail bars are pretty jarring with regard to 'minimalist' sensibilities.

The tremendous majority of property crime, especially cyber, is opportunistic.

> It should result in advertising content that is more personal and emotionally resonant

Exactly at the moment I read this, an auto-playing Volvo commercial started making noise just below that paragraph. Ugh. We're a long, long way from advertising putting "users" first.

Every time I've tried one of these non-JS versions, it gives me no evidence that it's working or progressing and just keeps setting up new comparisons for me to copy and paste the code. So I get tired of doing that and stop using whatever website is demanding it.

Both, but the similarities in the three can be striking regardless of ordering.

> built-in! part of the standard library, for some reason

Well, as far as I can tell, the reason is that

> Logo's turtle interface [...] is a convenient and intuitive way to describe graphics imperatively. It's great for kids.

:)

Do we, though?
