Another post arguing against the profit mechanism and modern commercial capitalism without realizing it. It's arguing against the symptoms. The problem is a system that incentivizes creating markets where a market was not needed and convincing people it will make their lives better. Yes, the problem is cultural, but it's also deeply ingrained in our economic protocol now. You can't scream into the void about specific problems and expect change unless you look at the root causes.

I was shocked to discover how incredibly poorly IndexedDB works. I always thought it would be fast and snappy if a bit alien. But nope, it's incredibly bad!
Despite being a native feature to the browser it's incredibly slow, and the way it works in terms of fetching records based on non-primary keys forces you to either load your entire dataset into RAM at once or iterate though it record-by-record in a slow callback. Something as trivial as 10k records can bring your webapp to a crawl.
I've built some pretty intensive stuff in indexeddb and it was the only thing I've ever done, using native browser features, that I could get to consistently crash the browsers I tested it on (granted, this was many years ago). On top of that, the API is so ugly. I cannot believe indexeddb won over websql (when every browser ever already embeds sqlite). What a shame.

I loved Instagib.
It's the only way I ever played.

I wasn't allowed one either so I soldered with a screwdriver heated up on the gas stove when my parents weren't home...
"We need laws to keep children away from soldering irons"
Later that day...
So, banned then?
