every single one of these ships minified JS, and the Rails asset pipeline is directly assisting in it. how are you protecting the web?pic.twitter.com/oW3mF6YFZh
The web isn’t just another software platform. It’s the greatest software platform the world has ever seen. No permissions, no masters, readable source code. Let’s protect the heritage, work in its service, and remind ourselves just what a marvel it all really is

Will work to change that! Seeing compiler barf in the HTML served as an excellent reminder that protecting View Source is worthwhile. From HTML to CSS to JS.
-
Webpacker, the default JS bundler for Rails 6, will have source maps turned on by default. Working on getting source maps for Basecamp 3 as well. And all future apps from us will prioritize View Source.

I have a lot of respect for this position, even if I may disagree with some details.
-
Happy to hear feedback on implementation!

This is the primary reason that Firefox OS should have continued. It _could_ be the third mobile platform. Mozilla keeps making winners, but don’t know to keep them going.

Its lineal descendant, KaiOS from
@KaiOStech, continues and grows from 50M to 100M users. -

I’m pretty sure when i’m done with my personal project, I will have the only fishing boat in the world with a distributed javascript runtime. Juicing up for success.pic.twitter.com/OnyYSJggD2

aight I'm following you now, but as soon as your boat gets a Twitter account and becomes self aware, I'm following your boat too. I have so many questions!
-
William, thanks for the interest. Shoot your questions. I don’t mind.
-
I don't know where to start. I guess, what does this boat look like? Is it self-driving? Are the computers controlling the motors? Are you a JavaScript guru who lives on a boat like
@dominictarr ? Do you catch lots of fish or is the boat still in development? -
I'd love to see pictures!!! It just honestly sounds way exciting compared to my life sitting at a computer writing JavaScript.

No, the web is the most closed platform ever to exist. In the past, core program logic was at worst locked away by obfuscation techniques. Now, it's remote on somebody else's server where you have no guarantee it will continue to exist, much less any way to read it.
-
And there's no reason to even believe client-side source will continue to be readable. Minifiers/obfuscators are bad enough; in the future we'll be looking at code from all sorts of source languages transpiled to js/wasm/whatever.
-
Note that the Chrome Web Store now has a "readable code" policy. See "New code readability requirements" here:https://blog.chromium.org/2018/10/trustworthy-chrome-extensions-by-default.html …
-
If only Chrome had a policy not to load site js unless it passed this requirement.

Please just deschedule any tab not focused until it's focused again. Nobody wants shit running in background unless they explicitly whitelist it.

I feel like this could break some things, but an easy option to do that would be great, yes.
