  • Users don't care about federation. For them, there is no such category as "federated chat". There is only "chat".

    XMPP never had significant market share among the instant messengers of the time (except maybe as custom solutions for work chat, but not as a consumer service).

  • 2017, previous phase is now complete, XMPP is virtually unheard of.

    So it returned back to a state where it would have been without Google anyway.

    All the Jabber clients and services combined were never even close to rivaling ICQ, AIM, MSN, Skype, or whatever else ruled the IM space back then.

  • On Reddit, joke (usually bad joke, low effort meme or pop culture reference) comments were the absolute worst kind of spam that destroyed the readability of comment threads.

    That sort of content belongs in its own space, not polluting places that are still worth reading.

  • But why bother with creating a new language, and duplicating all the features your language already has, in a weird way?

    If I want a list of UI items based on an array of some data, I can just do items.map(item => 〈Item key={item.id} item={item} /〉), using the normal map function that's already part of the language.

    Or I can use a function, e.g. items.map(item => renderItem(item, otherData)) etc.

    JSX itself is a very thin layer that translates to normal function calls.

  • Custom template language and custom DOM attributes are way weirder than just using language-native constructs (ternary operator, map/filter, variables, functions, etc.) directly like you can in JSX.

  • Just get rid of the pretense and make a proper market for delivery orders with bids and asks.

    Then you can place a limit order for your pizza, to be delivered whenever there is someone willing to deliver at or below your stated price, and vice versa.

  • Doesn't iMessage require some sort of Apple-issued device id? A key, unique to a device, hard-coded in the SoC? (which is easy to block if over-used).

    Which is why hackintoshes used to require crazy workarounds to get this working, even with Apple's own software, if I remember correctly (never tried myself, could be wrong).

    How did they get around this? (did they?)

  • That's a situation for a government program, not insurance. Insurance is for situations where it's unlikely that you'll need a payout.

    Of course people today have to deal with the systems we have, but I'm talking about your hypothetical "future" scenario.
