Re:The future in old computer magazines (1984–2004)
on Monday November 02, 2026 @07:17AM (#50335824)
The tone of those articles suggests the authors anticipated a very different economic environment, probably in the spirit of "as technical progress marches on, so does the quality of life". So the machines were foretold to organize parties and choose suitable wines.
In reality these 2 went in opposite directions, clearly the speed of tech progress was underestimated and the kind of future economy was wrongly predicted. But hey, these were leisure magazines, who'd take them seriously.

This looks a bit like another revolution is brewing, where people relying heavily on Tailwind might one day be surprised how powerful the raw CSS has become.

It still amazes me that in California if someone donates to anti-gay marriage initiative they can be openly called "absolute scumbag" and people just roll with it. It's called having political views.

I read this and classified as "future issue". If it's so easy as the author described it will happen, or it's already happening and it will be discovered much later.
The Dieselgate is a good analogy. Incentives, how easy it is to get to profit.

A 50-100 LOC library that provides 80% of what React does is very easy to create.
I created one of those 14 years ago before React, to replace things like mustache and similar templating languages. That doesn't take away from your effort. It's a good idea for anyone to recreate their favourite lib to understand the principles.

Of all the content they put out I liked the comparison section the most. The last row says iOS/Android - Electron: no, deno: not yet. If they deliver on this it will get much bigger.

It's insanity to stop using country own resources and rely on unreliable tech and energy imports.

Who in their right mind wants that? UBI just means signing your soul away to the state, who then can mandate your lifestyle completely including health procedures and even military conscription. No thanks.
