I understand how it works and Your arguments so far aren't changing my mind.
Thanks for posting the homepage text, for posterity.
Faster and slower are relative terms.
> Nothing about AMP is slowing down your normal web page
Nothing about AMP is making the web faster, which it says it's doing on the project homepage. It's making a fork of the web to be shown on Google that is 'faster'.
Google doesn't want the web to be fast or lean, it incentivizes you to create a fast version to be shown from google while the slow version is shown everywhere else.
Google: fast, everyone else: slow.
And amp positioning and ui display is absolutely a ranking boost.

This is available on Safari, the same browser the author is bashing and comparing to IE.
And it's synced across macOS and iOS. It's called "reading list". It works with airplane mode and everything.
Here's a quick short list of things that developers still have to write because the current implementations are broken, buggy, inconsistent or absent:
- Date pickers.
- Image upload [1].
- Autocomplete and datalist.
- Range pickers.
- Upload time remaining without javascript.
- Number min/max/step, use up/down keys to increment/decrement.
- Form elements that are unable be styled by CSS.
- Color picker (arguably not as important as the others, and some OS color pickers suck anyway).
[1] Basic things like resize image on the browser prior to uploading. Size, aspect ratio, crop could be hinted by the html or chosen by the user. Server check is still needed, but upload size and times would be reduced drastically.
Shouldn't those be more important?
I went to buy K&R C from amazon and it costed 150€. That was too much for me, but there was a different version below it: a "used" K&R from a different publisher and different cover, that costed 30€.
The book arrived and it's just photocopies of the original, in the form of a book. Normal Photocopies on what seems to be a just a bit finer than the average photocopy paper.
I've read the book. I still don't know why the original is so expensive, and if the authors/rightholders received any of my 30€.
Abacaxi is such a fun word to say out loud.
And it's not defacing anything that could be defaced, it's mostly steel that hundreds of people step on every day.
It wouldn't do step debugging or breakpoints, but at least for scripting and even simple c programs it would work well.
Voluntarily putting an always listening, internet connected device in your house, uploading data to the biggest advertising or commerce corporation, possibly man-in-the-middled by NSA?
And I think you're right about the hype, but wrong on the number of potential users. You didn't need special hardware for vrml.
I also appreciate the improved markdown syntax highlighting. This was bugging me slightly.
I like the new icon and I think the shadow could be a bit more pronounced and the grey corners a bit less pointy.
Sublime Text is one of my favourite computer programs ever.
Only in a fascist state.
