<p>> What’s wrong with this idea, really? It’s redundant because you can serve HTML to requests with Apache or Ngnix or any other server on the happy path.<p>Overhead, Security, Denial of service to name a few.<p>You now have two states to track. Is the web-server serving the current version that the web socket is rendering?<p>Is your monitoring enough? Is your monitoring going to detect if the web-socket server is suddenly taken offline? How do you monitor your web server is alive and ready to serve requests in the time of need?<p>How do you determine if the socket server is actual offline and not frazzled itself in an event-loop? A stray network packet you never conditioned it for.<p>If both your web-socket server and the web-server are going to follow the same source of truth for fail-over why not just use the web-server?<p>The web-server is a tried and true method of serving websites. An application that allows you to easily load balance; tune and enhance with other security features. The best part is than you can actually serve a website without requiring JavaScript.<p>Enterprise/corporate/country DPI firewalls like to silently block web sockets; any requests you're going to be rendering blank back to the client. Determining if the client is blocked isn't easy and how do you let the clients report an issue if they can't render the support page?<p>The starting sequence of a web socket is an HTTP request header to an upgrade the connection. Correctly configured DPI firewalls block these upgrade headers so for all you know the connection has been made but the renderer fails silently.<p>You still need a service to serve the JavaScript fronted so unless you create a WebSocket HTTP server which you've then opened a can of worms; you have a perfectly functional web-server sitting around idly wasting resources.<p>As I bombard your web-socket server with faux requests slowloris style. Your web-server is alive and as far as it knows your socket server is alive too, how do you determine if the web socket is actually under attack? This adds more complexity in the mix.<p>It's not wrong per-se. For a infrastructure learning exercise sure. However for anything else it's a waste of time and will cause headaches. The resources and the overhead for it all just isn't worth it. It's a mirage of something that looks opportunistic but isn't.<p>Furthermore any alterations need testing on both parts. If you were to apply a hotfix for the web-socket side, does this negatively effect the web-server side?<p>Does it perform the same way in Firefox and Chrome? If Firefox is slower at parsing the JavaScript html json, how are you going to accommodate that?</p>

<p>Sad, a legacy that can't be replaced.<p>Yes it still exists and has development but it is only limping through the sludge on the back of existing retried developers. I could be wrong.<p>> King joined MetaComCo and brought Tripos with him to the company.<p>Those days where if you designed or created something, you could pitch it.<p>Now with the era of Ai, "Look at what I made boss with just a paragraph of words!" doesn't hold the same upper-class. I never got to play with the Amiga, but I knew how awesome it sounded like to use. Chiptunes.<p>My story is that my aunt was an IT college tech and used to hand us floppy discs of games when my parents made regular trips to my grandparents back in 1995. She gave me a postage-bag full of floppy discs inside, they were all Amiga games, never got to play them. Unfortunately, we had Pentium.<p>My condolences.</p>

<p>> Why anyone still engages with these platforms is totally beyond me.<p>Because it provides a form entertainment, low hanging entertainment. All designed to grip you in your weakest fronts.<p>Map out what triggers a person visually. Feed it in to a LLM model and on the evil scale, you can start exploiting those who get angry based on whatever content.<p>Anger is one of the easiest trigger points in form of media. Broadcast a opposite view of an individual or a group. Downvotes and Upvotes are the primitive form of this and if you lack the emotional intelligence (thick skin) to handle the flack, you end up turning on emotions.<p><pre><code>   Tabs are superior to spaces and Python is basically JavaScript with indentation.</code></pre></p>

<p>There's never just one. Mainly political.<p>Those who in power of the state don't want to loose power. A protest, revolt is the best way to overthrow that. So to eliminate that threat is to survey. Install fear and you have control.<p>> The idea that emerged around the time of the French Revolution that the political spectrum can be divided into a right- and left wing in the first place – it becomes clear that the Left, in its essence, is a critique of bureaucracy, even if it’s one that has, again and again, been forced to accommodate itself in practice to the very bureaucratic structures and mindset it originally arose to oppose.
