Web Components are bad. Lit in particular is one giant memory leak. No tooling exists for making use of server-rendered Shadow DOM, which means users pay CPU cycles for client-side rendering.

Everything here is still true: https://dev.to/richharris/why-i-don-t-use-web-components-2ci...


A point made before, a little whinier this time. What are you doing about it?


Woof that opening quote about being born in East Africa has not aged well.


I don't think that could be written down and published today.

“I liken starting one’s computing career with Unix, say as an under- graduate, to being born in East Africa. It is intolerably hot, your body is covered with lice and flies, you are malnourished and you suffer from numerous curable diseases. But, as far as young East Africans can tell, this is simply the natural condition and they live within it. By the time they find out differently, it is too late. They already think that the writing of shell scripts is a natural act.” — Ken Pier, Xerox PARC


I can allow for the times — it's the last line that is the real stinger, ha ha.

I wonder if some sites are using JavaScript to handle language, but they don’t want to use navigator.language since below IE 11 doesn’t support it. In this case, it might make sense to fall back to location.


This is incorrect. The File System Access API 100% does contain a showOpenFilePicker API. As it says in the blog post, they’ve just begun this process by beginning with the private origin portion of the API, but they’ll be adding the other portions later.


Is it just me or is this nonsensical trash that seems to say absolutely nothing?


Like, I’m a Snowden guy. I rep this dude but this article is garbage.


It's worth $150k not to have to live in Carmel.


I really don't need another half-baked social platform built into something that already does one thing very well.


Yup. Same here. Went into a mini panic.
