The whole thing is driven by all fields reaching the highest level of complexity their practitioners can understand.

Web design in not inherently complex, but it is filled with lots of talented and intelligent people because the pay is good and the conditions cushy compared to say gutting chickens in some factory. The only way to solve to the complexity treadmill is to drive out all the smart people.

> 'my limited needs...Simple, responsive layout'

As we all know, limited/simple in the requirements doesn't mean simple to implement. "I want this page to look the same on any size screen, whether viewed horizontally or vertically". OK. It's surprising it's as simple as it is.

> 'I thought implementing webfonts was a relatively easy procedure, but I guess not!'

No, it is easy. If you want to read 90 pages of marketing-promo disguised as a guide to fonts, do so. But you don't have to. Go to google fonts, pick one, add the URL to the head of your webpage, done.

> We’re a long way from the CSS Zen Garden where I started.

That way is still there. It's just slow and messy. You can still inline your CSS, use external css files. Whatever you want.

Before, scrolling text and gifs were the cutting edge of web technology. Now we have Photoshop, online IDEs, real-time trading applications in the browser. This is magic. And magic isn't easy.

Furthermore, modern browser element inspectors provide an excellent explanation of what's happening on a webpage.

The web isn't static - as the browser advances we use new tools to handle the possibility as well as the complexity. But the old ways are still available. Although I'm not convinced that the 30 minutes of mental overhead getting to know npm and flexbox beats the mess of external resources, duplicate code and utter pain that was the web of the past.

You're telling me to consider the evidence? That's funny.

I suspect that you can save some weight if you have multiple satellites going to the same orbit, or if you have a chain of satellites that can be dropped off into similar orbits as the kick stage can be stopped and started several times. But while each individual satellite doesn’t need an engine, you now have to launch an engine and fuel capable of moving a batch of satellites together, so it’s not like you’re eliminating the weight entirely.
Ignoring that that's an outplayed argument, it's irrelevant. This is about hardware, not about streaming services.
Spy agencies in Russia, China, and the US will have a copy of most of Apple's source code anyway. It's trivial to get a number of employees working for any of these companies. They must all be fully infiltrated, probably at high levels too, which is pretty neat.
One would think that you'll start hitting real-world limits real soon - background noise, speaker/microphone characteristics etc. Improving on those usually means more expensive equipment, this would be the most limiting factor IMHO.

Google has a SDK called Nearby which is supported on iOS and Android. In the first version only some sort of address / ID was exchanged using audio and then the actual message was transferred using GCM, which meant an internet connection was required. v2 apparently didn't need an online connection but haven't tested it.

Hard limits are set by the strong absorption of ultrasonic frequencies by the air - IIRC the expected range of frequencies > 1MHz is measured in single digit cm & drops very rapidly. This reddit comment ( https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/3oo5ks/is_there... ) quotes references that suggest a 100dB drop-off / foot @ 10MHz.
First of all, "censorship" is an extremely loaded word because it carries the implication that the message being broadcast necessarily deserves to be heard, but this is not always the case. If I logged onto your blog and wrote "fuck you" in the comments, you wouldn't be censoring me by deleting it.

The world censorship also carries implications about the motives of the supposed "censor" by alluding to the notion that their actions are motivated by a desire to silence a message that they fear or disagree with when other explanations could be more likley. For example, maybe you don't care if the message is heard, but you just don't want to hear it in your house... if you then kick me out your house, that doesn't mean I'm being censored, it means that what happens on your property is your prerogative. Maybe you didn't even hear the message and just don't like my tone or maybe you did hear the message and find it to be worthless, it's not censorship if I ban you for stating that aliens orchestrated 9/11.

Banning anyone from reddit is not censorship because they were never entitled to the use of reddit's privately owned property and reddit's actions do not impede their free expression through the use of their own resources.

HTML is inferior than a technology that is purpose built. It was not originally designed to handle the job it does today. It is possible to create a much better user experience with eg. C# using some network code to talk to the server than trying to shoe horn an application over HTML just because it hides the low level complexities of E.g C#/C++ communicating with a server. This is a classic case of HTML/web apps are easier to produce (does that even make them inferior?) than custom built software, but it is more efficient to develop a web app, and therefore that is what business/industry has done.

As far as I understand, it all works in the local network. It shouldn't be too hard to create a server to translate its calls to the new api (that the smartphone app uses), no?

>I had to install a package manager to install a package manager.

And that's coming from a designer, not a programmer.

A few years ago I had to take over a project that required installing something like 6 different package managers, 2 build systems, and a dozen different languages (counting things like jade and coffeescript), including dependencies that somehow required conflicting versions of the same libraries! (It took building pieces of it on 2 separate VMs and then merging them to get it to work.) All to build what turned out to be a simple little web site that in the end was basically 12 static pages and a simple form. That doesn't make things way easier.

When I started programming, the key important things were to focus on getting the data model accurate, getting the business logic correct, validating input properly, and producing the desired output. Now that is maybe 5-10% of our workload, the other 90+% is dealing with dependencies, build tools, frameworks, 57 layers of generic abstraction, and all the fragile interconnections and leaky abstractions and compatibility issues between all of those things needed primarily just to simply display a page of content or handle a CRUD form.

Sure, they're beautiful and interesting from an intellectual standpoint, and when they're working properly, they do make things that were once quite difficult a lot easier. But they also add a lot of complexity, require a lot of maintenance, and make the simple things much more complicated. Often, it's as if we're flying a squadron of helicopters down to the corner store to get milk (because isn't that cool and fun?!), and by the time the operation's completed and we've returned home and got all the helicopters repaired, we realize that we forgot the milk, or it's already spoiled, or we ended up with a potato instead.

I do love playing with the new toys. React is really cool, a lot of the new stuff is interesting. But all those layers, all that indirection, all that distances us from the domain data and business logic can make it a lot harder to solve real problems and produce real value. Sometimes I just want to build something and not have to deal with all that mess.

Lol no it hasn't. It wouldn't even be number one in the USA, let alone globally. Just having a few high-end stores doesn't make Miami a "Mecca" of anything.

Maybe South Americans fly to Miami specifically for fashion shopping but no-one else would, not even from within the US.

I don't think that's the established terminology.

How do you not? This pure maths wank really grinds my gears. Of course you can substitute other perceptive phenomena next to the visual. But even your abstract thoughts have to be accomodated in the geometry of the brain, if you think about it.
Definitely, its way more important to protect a thousand little fiefdoms at all costs, then to solve a true problem. Imagine how the CEOs would feel if there companys where shut down just because they where considered taxwise energy waste.

Why doesn't anybody ever think about the needs of CEOs ?

Seriously - market aside- its obviously a lot of humans need companys and hierarchical structured society to upkeep there ego- so what solution is there to keep those afloat, while ending the ecological suicide that is capitalism?
Today I learned that you can actually abuse the system bus on some macbooks to actually send audio over AM radio[0]. Even scarier, you can do it from the browser[1]. And now this library[2] will let you open a TCP connection over the radio to download off that data machine. This is shaping up to be a pretty cool attack PoC!

Urm, you've basically described Jekyll with your requirements.

You do realize that Jekyll themes are basically just finished projects people use because they can't believe bothered to create their own site, right?
I came here to say the same thing. :)

The fundamental problem is that you want one piece of (semantic) content to be presented on many different platforms with very different design approaches.

The current approach uses if-then-else conditions in CSS, and when that fails, if-then-else conditions in JS, and when that fails, complex JS to transform the DOM. The XML/XSLT approach, although clunky, might actually be better in many cases.
The JVMCI code that Graal depends on was added to Java 9 and is inbuilt.
However, all Graal and Graal-downstream projects use a custom built Java 8 release. This is also the plan for the "foreseeable future" (https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby/issues/556#issuecommen...)

It looks like a bureaucratic struggle of some kind - I wonder what's the behind the scenes story at Oracle.

Additionally, "mx" : the build system that Graal uses is fairly funky - and everyone including Chris (the engineer that made this video) is trying to get the team to move on

No, you can peruse the code for yourself if you need to look for backdoors. He was obviously choosing the path of most resistance so he could prove his own conclusion--not that small devices need to run a wallet or the process won't be automated in the future or it won't be competent IOT developers performing these task--still not sure how P2P usability equates to M2M usability, but let's skip over those details and rationalize why he spent more time finding ways to screw up than to honestly perform the task of using a wallet--in any case, his bungling hardly seems genuine.
Actually that’s pretty much what I would expect if I tried to build interactive applications on top of a declarative document format whose standardization was co-opted by the largest advertisement company, while working with novices straight out of last week’s coding bootcamp eagerly reinventing the wheel out of their lack of experience and mentoring.
It's still a webapp, fully served from network, without any code signing (not even SRI to match hashes against), except for the TLS layer. AFAIK they don't even have a standalone variant except for the unofficial desktop Electron app, and a beta IMAP bridge for paying customers.

Basically, they still ultimately rely on trust, just like others. While they're drastically different from e.g. Gmail, trust requirement is still there.

If one's well-being really depends on security, it's best to err on side of caution. Meaning, something like MailPile on the client side, very cautious non-automated key exchange, and, optionally, self-hosted email with at-rest encryption (e.g. Postfix+Dovecot+GnuPG pipe) is probably much better option than anything Protonmail can offer in their current state. Or avoiding email (as it's not yet there and probably never will be) and using something like Wire or BitMessage or whatever (I'm not a security expert) has both client-side static and auditable source code and limits metadata leakage.
> They have to appeal to the portion of the masses that are Apple customers and for them, $300 isn't terribly expensive.

Maybe, but as indicated before I think if that’s the case and sound quality is the focus those customers could very likely do a lot better with a pair of bookshelfs.
> It is hard to imagine one could get penalty of bankruptcy instead of going into Jail for this.

IANAL, but I believe for a charge of grand larceny you'd have to show intent to steal, and the "Low-Level" employee seems to have a pretty legitimate case that this was negligence, not theft. On the other hand, I think it's a pretty straight-line open-n-shut case for Apple to sue for damages, and I'm not sure that ruining a young software engineer's financial life for a decade is less of a deterrent than jail.

> However, web applications today are so much more than their desktop equivalents from the 80s and 90s both in terms of what's possible with them and as to how accessible they are to developers.

Could you elaborate on that?
From the point of view of the user, an app from the 90s works much faster than Google Docs. From developer's point of view, using a visual widget in an app was as simple as dropping it on a form, and then setting some properties if needed, either visually or via code. Nowadays you can do it with Lazarus and it will generate code for different platforms.

Look at this from another angle: The fact that the most powerful web company today with some of the most brilliant minds can't create spreadsheet software that would work equally fast as its desktop counterpart already says a lot about the tools we're using. Some people can't acknowledge it and miss the point completely and say "browsers are slow", trying all possible optimizations - but these are all hacks, not solutions to the underlying problem.

You're trying to conflate document design with UI design.
By the writing of the author, he is clearly doing just fancy documents. He didn't even touch the problematic issues you normally face in web development.

You can do pretty neat things with trivial html/css these days, where you needed quite a bit of JS just 5 years ago.

Platform GUI toolkits are designed for controlling an interactive program from the start, a very different usage scenario. They were never designed to be documents to be read from top to bottom. Traditionally, GUI toolkit almost never included fancy text layout boxes just for text display. To give you an example, a simple text label to be used next to a button almost universally could be of a single font with the same style throughout.

I wouldn't even consider this a limitation, because on toolkits with advanced theming (GTK/QT), this allowed for a very consistent layout across all programs, which is clearly a much better user experience for the user as opposed to styled individual applications. Somehow, this crucial bit of /actual/ usability /design/ was lost.

The irony? Current GUI platform toolkits are actually copying the document model of web pages instead, so that your layout skill set can be more easily transferred across systems. So you can finally style your button's label to your hearth's content. XUL is probably the first example of this.

As if "layout" was the major issue in desktop user interfaces (HINT: it's not).

Now we have GUI toolkits which are basically web views that maybe call some native code. In my opinion: a huge failure in engineering and user experience.
Assembling furniture as part of an interview process for a white-collar job is a little silly, and I can easily see how that might introduce bias if it's given much weight - that's sort of a stereotypically male task, down to the usage of spatial orientation skills to understand and compare the instructions versus the assembled object.

Depends on the resources. I would say if we can get a handle on the energy. That goes a long way. For building materials we are not going to really run out of steel, clay for bricks, and concrete. Wood is renewable if managed properly.

I remember reading something that said the population will peak around 10 to 10.5 billion, and not really grow beyond that. So when it comes to housing for that many people there is plenty of land.

That mainly leaves food. I have heard some people say meat is quite inefficient, but how much land do we need to feed 10.5 billion people?

It would be interesting to see other resource like copper plotted as how much is needed per person vs world supply. I do know aluminum is 3rd most abundant element in earths crust and iron is the 4th most abundant.

Really, for energy we should just be using renewable, and nuclear. Also when reading about how much the fuel for nuclear is actual used only like a few percent we need better reactors.

Their main concern sounds like a liability issue (they cite the aging Li-ion battery heavily). They're not selling it anymore, so why not bundle together some internal docs and release some sort of technical manual or detailed repair guide to give users the option of replacing the battery? Of course this would be a "you people are on your own if you screw it up" but that's to be expected.
