Save My House From Apple 14 years ago

And this is why app-stores with single-sided and super-rigid rules are a BAD thing. They operate as a black box, with you having NO way of knowing why, how, if, when or what is going to happen. This is why Chrome store, Windows Store and the App store and all the others are just bad for business (in general). If they decide they don't like it, then you're fucked!

You just DON'T trust a single entity to handle all your sales and finances while they have ABSOLUTE power to terminate their service any time they want. Have a backup, sell it on your own web site.. oh no you can't because this is Apple...

Oh, is that why Git has such great support for Windows?...

WebSockets versus REST? 14 years ago

Where did people get the notion that WebSockets have anything to do with REST or http?? websockets are a simple tcp connection, you know... like the one that CARRIES http!

So when people say stuff like this:

> First and foremost, how do you represent a URI? Second, how do you represent the HTTP methods (GET, PUT, POST, …)? A

How do we represent HTTP? Well, how about using HTTP ?!?!

(is everybody taking crazy pills, or am I missing some HUGE part of this discussion?)

No, Graphic Designers Aren't Ruining the Web 14 years ago

Just one comment:

"Last I checked, “bandwidth” is an infinite resource..."

No it is not. There has to be infrastructure to carry that bandwidth, so there is a very real and physical limit on bandwidth. Also, in many countries, bandwidth costs money. Downloading costs money. I know that in America it is easy to find unlimited internet plans (or close to it), but in many countries every gigabyte you downloads costs money. My limit is 40 gigabytes, for which I pay about 40 dollars. After that, every 10 gigabytes I download is an additional 6 dollars.
