@lewis @slightlyoff see, my first instinct is “we can fix that”, but you’re right. The architecture that got you to that place is the problem, not whatever happened using that architecture.

@slightlyoff for what it’s worth: Etsy’s buyer side is a MPA and our seller side is a SPA for similar reasons.
Our SPA was fine-ish for a long time, but scaling a single JS bundle for hundreds of engineers with high quality code splitting took me a huge amount of complex architecture and if I was building it all from scratch now (instead of inheriting an already struggling product when I joined) it would have been a MPA all the way.
The benefits of the SPA just aren’t there.

The corollary is that you should not let SPA tech (client-side JS frameworks) *anywhere near* your stack until this analysis comes up green. And you should treat with intense suspicion anybody who bandies about phrases like "app-like" but is unfamiliar with how to write a Service Worker script from scratch.

@drvolts By way of contrast, this represents *real* purchasing of carbon removal as offset:

Folks, your [ microsite | blog | "AI experience" | e-commerce site | public service ] SHOULD NOT BE AN SPA *until and unless* you can prove that users have *very* deep sessions on average (think 50+ interactions with *the same* dataset). And even when you can, it's still a metrics-based question as to whether or not it makes sense. Mostly, it doesn't. So start here:

5/. Ultimately, antivirus products have privacy and security downsides that are obscured by effective marketing, name recognition & user miseducation.
The problem is that regular users are often badly decoupled from quality evidence-backed security advice.
Sadly, Big VPN is now copying the antivirus marketing strategy.
Allow me to suggest some usable, personalized and evidence-backed advice for how to stay safe online, I strongly recommend Security Planner

Did you know that Chrome's user agent stylesheet uses a `__qem` unit?
No, it's not a CSS unit, or at least not one you can use in your code. It's part of the curse that are the margin collapsing quirks.

Greg Sargent talks with Jess McIntosh about the scam Trump is now engaged in, trying to soft-peddle the Republican position on abortion and same-sex marriage to appeal to undecided voters and suburban women — when the voters driving the party, its white Christian nationalist base, have no intention of letting the party soften its positions on these issues.

There’s been some chatter about Signal desktop recently, so let’s clear the air. Three points:
1. The reported issues rely on an attacker already having *full access to your device* — either physically, through a malware compromise, or via a malicious application running on the same device. This is not something that Signal, or any other app, can fully protect against. Nor do we ever claim to.

@Mer__edith After reading "trust me I'm lying" asking for this feels like asking water to not be wet. Anyone that knows security would realize that an exploit that requires full system access isn't really an exploit but non-news. So it feels like emotional click farming, with no regards whatsoever for actual fact checking.

No qualifying, or disqualifying requirements. It'll just be a public bar. There will be no food, no plan, no insurance, no CPEs, no expectations.
It's like a super casual flashmob.
