Imagine the entire UI of an email client becoming inoperable, diplaying "loading..." and a spinner every time you send mail. We don't do it now nor did we do that when 300kbps connections were more common. Spinners are a crutch for undercooked, bad software.

Sad. As a fan of Plan 9 myself it’s somewhat expected. The ideas are strong but there’s something about it all not quite catching on.

I regularly referred others to Upspin’s source tree [1] if they wondered about larger systems written in Go but weren’t too big and gross like Kubernetes.

The actual report from the UK government: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/predicting-harm-a...

Because it’s barebones. Most of the time I’m on my Mac I use “regular” apps; I never really used web apps much (on my Mac nor on my OpenBSD/linux machines)

In my `about:config`:

  browser.startup.homepage about:blank
  browser.newtabpage.enabled false

My workstation is too slow to load these new "Home" pages anyway!

Do you mean the binary message format or something higher level?

I’ve got a little DNS client/server library in Go [1], and I’m curious whether there’s a minimal subset of the binary format I could handle myself so my library only depends on the Go standard library. Any tips?
