HTML was a mistake.

What if browsers just returned texts with links and auto-linked and auto-embedded them like markdown does? Only on request. A true user agent.

Well, I would have settled for HTML 1 for the forms.

Unfortunately some people want to have some semblance of social life and in some circles dropping Instagram means decimating your pool.

Confirm. GitHub search is "search" not "excellent search"

"Best" doesn't always win. We'd be sporting PalmOS if that were the case.

What has been the problem exactly? Just generic "fake news" or did the platform generate porn?

You may be surprised to find out how many more things are happening today! It's definitely a conspiracy.

> huge ego and power hunger

Some people should probably be stopped before they get too hungry. Same with some bald guy in Eurasia right now.

I figure because they charge for minutes, I'm not saying that it actually turns a profit. My company also pays for certain "xl" machines.

I'm convinced that they specifically won't do that so that people won't use them to build competing products. Actions is one of the pieces that make GitHub money.

> I don't want TypeScript to be a runtime checker

I do.

If the types are internally consistent, then they don't need runtime validation, it'd just be extra code to download and run.

If you accept external data, you may already opt in using something like Zod. I don't see why conflate the two things just because their quacks echo the same.

Do we have enough spaces in the ALL_NUMBERS array or do we want to group them by thousands?

ALL_NUMBERS_00001

ALL_NUMBERS_00002

You'd be surprised by how many rich people there are. Airbnb doesn't need to sell millions of these services to make millions off them. If an "experience" costs $150, that's just as good as a night in their rooms, if not more profitable.

You can't link a web page to the person behind it. Maybe Airbnb is in the right to offer the service in the country, it's just nobody could verify/enforce the ability to rent short term.
