ok i don't literally mean "the semantic web", i mean the notion that the web is a massive navigable graph of data

instead it's heading towards a sea of islands populated by savage code that you have to run in order to get at that data, one disconnected chunk at a time.

"REST"ful apis (if they actually are REST to begin with and not just "like SOAP but with JSON instead of XML") are no good if there's no universal way to navigate them other than running a bunch of alien JavaScript that expects to be able to simultaneously drive a GUI.

they're islands because that's how they generate ad revenue. who benefits from a libre graph of data

single page applications that aren't garbage are indistinguishable from regular old multi-page web sites

like youtube, for example (which is garbage for a whole host of different reasons, but not because it doesn't retransmit most of the page every single time you navigate around the site)

because i'm guessing Chrome is a natural byproduct of Google having to run a full-fledged headless web browser in a cage in order to scrape all that poo poo. it certainly explains why it has such a strong emphasis on sandboxing.

this is basically totally wrong

quote:

so it seems liek HotJava was the way to go all along and modern single page JavaScript applications are effectively a bastardized version of HotJava only with a lovely scripting language instead of the JVM. then again given Java applets' security track record that might be for the best.

based on my experience working on a Java based browser, and Java integrations into other browsers, HotJava would have a hard time being any less the way to go.

ya fedora is ok. cutting-edge without being too unstable, though it has a few failed experiments like their effort to selinux everything clogging the place up.

debian is a bit convervative but if you don't mind being a bit out of date it's a loving swiss army chainsaw, especially for embedded development. like i'm not even fronting here if you're writing code for an embedded platform that's targeted by gcc and you're not using Debian to do it then you're a stupid trendy hipster idiot.

arch is good ime if you're feeling a little frisky, just don't install it (or any rolling release distro) on a production server for god's sake or you deserve to get fired with extreme prejudice.

does canonical still sell all your searches to amazon
they never did

if you did a search in the unity dash for something one of the handlers for that search would anonymize the data, run it through an anonymizing proxy, then query amazon for the same term and return the results (with a +canonical referral link included).

After everyone complained easy UI to disable it was added in the next release, and I believe today it's off by default.
