ugh. people still confused about the terminology.

free-as-in-freedom and open source differ almost not at all in terms of licenses and how they apply to what you can do with the code. *neither* approves read-only, no-derivatives, 'source available' licenses.

should have my website show a message if you _don’t_ have an adblocker installed recommending that you get one

Aircraft Carrier? More like Air CRAP Carrier. Folks,

@dgold I have deeply complex feels on this topic, as kfogel is a friend- someone I care about as much as I do any member of my family. He's a kind person who I think genuinely believes in doing good and I just don't think understands the issue.

At the same time, I think this terrible of him and is unacceptable for QCO, an organization that I volunteered at and quit over this exact issue.

Everyone knows the web is a leaky mess, but people blame the browsers ("Chrome is a memory hog!") instead of the websites. I guarantee you that the Chrome team has way better memory metrics than the average website author. If you go looking for memory leaks in websites, you will find them in spades (e.g. see http://plasma-umass.org/BLeak/).

The next frontier in web performance is memory usage and memory leaks.

Another thing I'll say about this project: web developers focus a lot on bundle size as their key performance metric, because it's easy to measure and understand. Recently, more folks are actually looking at CPU performance too (Lighthouse, WebPageTest, etc.).

Almost nobody is looking at memory.

In the course of writing Pinafore, I am apparently going to re-implement every damn thing ever, because my standards are way too high and I have too much free time

Never forget

Most WordPress sites that are about WordPress are hellish landscapes of popups, sticky headers, SEO desperation, and a cluster of other things ruining the experience, and I’m sure they’re all “available as a plugin”

Like, being able to write CSS inside of a custom element without worrying about styles bleeding in or out is great. Being able to pass CSS variables in through the shadow host is great too.

Developers have said loud and clear with stuff like Vue, Svelte, React CSS-in-JS, etc. that they want scoped styles. Shadow DOM delivers that. It's just too bad that there's all this other baggage that isn't terribly useful, and can be actively harmful.

FUN FACT: did you know that left handed people already know all the facts you like to tell them about being left handed? It's true!

I hadn't really thought about where all that tear gas comes from.
