Too chatty, stuff getting hidden from the user which makes it less useful yet still cluttered, change for change’s sake, teasing at notification nightmares… There’s a lot to dislike in OP’s post!
I think that’s a small part of it, the lack of nuance from new coders, but the origins weren’t so cut and dry, IMO. It was really how poorly things were supported by browsers. Tables became used for styling because they were the only way to achieve some layouts that would have any hope of calculating correctly in the browser. JavaScript became used for active elements because html/css originally couldn’t do anything dynamic or responsive. Many things became divs simply because they were the only building block that didn’t come saddled with tons of preconditions and assumptions. etc, etc, etc.
HTML5 and ECMA2015 are when it started to turn around. Browsers finally got their shit together and supported a proper, useful baseline set of features that could cover most use cases, and the resulting standardizations made a HUGE difference. If it stayed going the way it was pre-HTML5, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d be wrestling with some popular framework trying to wedge a new standard in next to HTML in the browsers… Heck, that probably would’ve happened anyways if HTML weren’t just glorified XML (meaning it’s already nearly infinitely extensible)!
Because many of the frameworks, including Angular and React, were getting started while HTML and JS specs and the support of those specs were a giant hodgepodge MESS.
Why are so many things divs instead of standard components? Because for WAY too long, those components weren’t standard. Some browsers didn’t even fully support basic components or styling options that had been standard for years.
Why is everything a div? Because in many browsers, divs got the most feature support.
The frameworks seem nonsensical and dumb because they’re covering up a LOT of even worse things.
Not to say a ton of nasty things cannot remain, or new gross things crop up, but at least this one has a history that’s more interesting than, “they designed it poirly”. Nope, a lot of the problems have no design at all, or might’ve been worse with a more “standard” implementation!
That is definitely not been a huge driving factor in the STYLING of cars.
They didn’t say, “I have no idea why”, they said it’s soulless and annoying. Capitalism truly produces garbage. It doesn’t matter that there is a reason for bad decisions. They’re still bad decisions.
Make the phone thicker and give me more battery. They chose to make a bump instead. Assinine.
Nah man, language is messy and people are lazy. Language is messy meaning people generally don’t get so detail oriented and pedantic when someone says an absolute that clearly has some exceptions. People are lazy meaning most people aren’t going to care to hash out the specifics of the edge cases that don’t fit the generic statement.
Your test seems to be more about how pedantic everyone is, and god I hope Lemmy loses that to reddit…
You are just begging the question, troll. Get out of here with your doubly dishonest “discussion”. Holy fuck, obvious troll.
Sorry bub, but I do not exist in isolation from reality.
Nah. “Young people have never experienced what it’s like to have privacy. To leave the house and be totally unreachable…”
That is explicitly what OP said. To be totally unreachable in the literal sense can easily be a source of anxiety on its own.
The very basics of dairy cows being an artificial result of ingrained demand… is too simple to be political.
Even a pure communist designed and ran economy would have to deal with supply and demand, and would almost certainly also produce dairy cows…
I don’t think you understand what anxiety is if you think being totally unreachable as a solution to modern anxiety…
This stupid timeline doesn’t deserve the benefit of sobriety.
Hey are you saying glass was a bad design decision!? … …
Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.
Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can’t. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?
A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.
So… things not actually restricted to internal combustion engines? That sounds… rather petty and foolish.
What about it, for curiosity’s sake? Is it the fumes? The crazyness of literally going so fast as to barely retain control in tons of metal? Or for things like motorbikes, doing all that without tons of metal for a modicum of protection? lol
I love motorsports, but no matter the power source, the extreme stuff kinda’ takes having a screw or two loose…
Floating point error? Yeaahhh no. No. Just… no. That is NEVER as big as 0.01 unless the number is also insanely massive.
The error is relative in scale. It’s not magically significant fractions off.
Hey, even introverts like fun environments. A fun environment can be the determining factor if an introvert even joins in or has fun! The sterilization of corporate spaces hurts everyone except greedy inhuman trash that only care about money.
