Did somebody spend too much time trying to be meta-funny?

chris_wot2• 14 years ago

Doesn't seem to have spent that much time...

cheshire137• 14 years ago

Completely useless and unfunny documentation.

tejaswiy• 14 years ago

Really? Sarcasm and absurdity are great ways to talk about meta-anything.

cheald• 14 years ago

You seem to have misplaced your sense of humor. There's nothing to document. It's commentary.

chris_wot2• 14 years ago

I dunno. I think it's succinct and describes the software really well. More software should have documentation like this!

If anyone's wondering what the JS code in the .zip does:

SquareWheel• 14 years ago

Thanks, I was rather afraid to run that code.

jneen• 14 years ago

Well technically you did, by opening the JSFiddle.

ecaroth• 14 years ago

rubygem the lymphnode.. definitely got a chuckle out of that one!

cdrxndr• 14 years ago

Lost it at shawarma!

I would never have taken the time to do this, but pretty hilarious ...

victork2• 14 years ago

I give it that: It's a good satire of today's buzzwords clogging HN.

I would add "Beautiful" to the bunch, since it's so overused.

fredley• 14 years ago

It's also lacking "Magical"

deweller• 14 years ago

Don't forget "automagical"!

TazeTSchnitzel2• 14 years ago

While we're sounding like Steve Jobs: It's also Amazing, Fastastic, Brilliant, Incredible, Wonderful, Great, Awesome, Extraordinary, Phenomenal, Unbelievably great, Gorgeous, Terrific, Super...

"Rich"

atonse• 14 years ago

It sounds like my wife imitating me talking to other nerds.

Thanks for the laugh.

hendi_• 14 years ago

Pah, it's missing "utilize" and "leverage". But at least it doesn't use the word "use".

juddlyon• 14 years ago

Funny!

The sad thing is that it isn't that far from a number of current sites who seem hell-bent on making you feel out-of-touch.

fpp• 14 years ago

and in the page source:

              _   _
          \|/(_)_(_)\|/
           @~ (o.o) ~@
          /___( * )___\   NA NA
             / `U' \      NANA
            (   .   )      NA !!!
             `>---<'
             _\   /_

For those of you complaining about the quickstart up-and-running wiki tutorial, don't forget you can always read the related RFCs in the devchannel backgroup IRC log server dump.

brogrammers take note: this is only for rockstars

unwiredben• 14 years ago

won't someone think of the ninjas?

Tloewald• 14 years ago

Needs a video demo of setting up a blog with it.

humblepie• 14 years ago

Too subtle :)

blago• 14 years ago

Meh, I did that 4 years ago. On a single weekend.

derrida2• 14 years ago

This is just a single lisp macro.

diego001• 14 years ago

You can do this with M-x butterfly on Emacs.

derrida2• 14 years ago

I see this is written using BroScript idioms.

bashzor• 14 years ago

I don't see why this got a single upvote. Not only is it a fake, it doesn't even do anything cool.

javajosh2• 14 years ago

Well, it's very funny, but it also points to an important architectural bottleneck for modern web applications. There's a veritable explosion of combinatorial front-end projects: 'projects' which merely exist because of the ad hoc way in which these individual technologies can be combined. They add nothing in and of themselves.

For a traditional programmer, this is equivalent to a (very public) proliferation of "convenience" interfaces or methods, yielding one "convenience" method for every possible combination of real method calls. With such a proliferation, these methods cause a great deal more inconvenience then they alleviate, and the situation becomes absurd. (For some reason, Twitter's Boilerplate release has spawned an incredible number of mis-guided "me too" fork-projects that basically roll in <insert technology here> into the Boilerplate project and release it as new.)

So, the serious message is that a) people need to stop with the combinatorial responsive html5 boilerplate bootstrap projects, and b) there's a real architectural problem that needs solving on the front-end of the web. Basically, we need a module system for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. (And it's shocking that such a thing doesn't exist, apart from ad hoc, essentially proprietary solutions like WordPress themes.)

Yea, when I was a wee programmer, I made a "class" for socket.h which was just a wrapper that mapped things to a class, so when you wanted to create a socket connection, you just created an instance of that class, and start using it. It was pretty dumb, but I thought it was cool at the time. I should have overridden the << and >> operators but I was just happy that my "send" and "receive" worked. That was when I was 21, about twelve years ago. Now you see these kids doing something similar, but they have a website on which to place their experiments. I don't hate on them because I was there once myself, but I don't pay them much attention either.

posabsolute• 14 years ago

Yea I agree with you, I think we have enough html7 shits popping on twitter, do we really need that kind of stuff on hackernews? ... It does not bring any interesting discussion and does not show anything useful..

Unfortunately I cannot downvote!

knowtheory• 14 years ago

I mean... maybe it's art, sure, but if it's satire in the aim of accomplishing something, i'm entirely unclear on what end this was made to pursue.

th0ma5• 14 years ago

Maybe it is just me, but it seems around the time that "responsive" became a term for layouts that adapt to screen resolution, the other term "reactive" which denotes UIs that represent some kind of live and changing data inline on the page was becoming a thing. It almost seems like that was the cool thing first and freaked out people, and now it is like there's an initiative to minimize "reactive" as a buzzword, and put the tamer "responsive" buzzword in its place... presumably while someone works on some kind of large "reactive" effort and then can announce their "big new thing" with their own term... anyway... i'm probably making things up :D

nsoldiac• 14 years ago

Documentation reads: "Boom. Cross-universe compatible." ha!

javajosh2• 14 years ago

Nice, but I'd really wish it supported a half-way decent transpiled CSS language, like SASS, LESS, JESS, GUESS, or ASS, that gets auto transpilezipped with a simple 'ant ruby merge push' command.

Don't forget to check out the issues on GitHub: https://github.com/impressivewebs/HTML9-Responsive-Boilerstr...

wavephorm• 14 years ago

I bet most people upvoted before clicking the link.

recursive• 14 years ago

This would be unnecessary if more people understood monads.

ArekDymalski• 14 years ago

Cloud and SoLoMo are missing from the buzzword list. Anyway funny. Kinda reminds me: http://abstrusegoose.com/380

bmaeser• 14 years ago

awesome work. but it actually lacks of support for vapor.js https://github.com/madrobby/vapor.js

conner_bw• 14 years ago

I work for a company that pulls in five million dollars in sales a day. I upgraded all our servers to HTML9 Bootsauce and it broke everything. What the fuck?! Cross dressed in a unitard compatible my ass! We're losing money by the character I type! How do I revert?! Can't trust anything these days.

mncolinlee• 14 years ago

All it would take is one comment from pg and this would be the hottest dotJS project on Github. Imagine Google adopting this!

It could automagically generate Doodles using continuous integration and continuous deployment through Jenkins CI.

no-espam• 14 years ago

These are getting a little stale. Vapor.js was amusing when it came out. It's like they say, you're beating a dead horse.
