Seems like you have never really worked on a large web app with lots of complex UI requirements, or else you would know what bootstrap is and when to use it and how much developer hours it saves. I am not saying it's the best library out there but it's pretty neat and gets the job done.
back in 2007 I joined a company in a department where they wrote tailor made websites for clients. One of the sites was built to generate reports for ~50 customer's accounts. It was a single webpage with 50 buttons having the account name on each one of them. So you would see a bunch of different shape buttons on the page, you click a button and you would be redirected to another website. It was internally referred as Death By Buttons.
Wow that robot looks so cool. Wish I can build something like that with a raspberry pi 3 and a ton of my kid's lego lying around in my house.
I didn't say MOV AL, 1h is equal to move 10 20. I mean the syntax looks like assembly language.
yeah looks a lot like BASIC, Python and Assembly
That's probably just a poor implementation on those websites. I thought the ability to search across larger content using Ctrl-F is one of the major advantages of infinite scrolling over traditional pagination.

Out of 195 countries it will be only the 4th country to do this shit. So it must be doing some things right. Poverty is one of the problems it is still working on.
Not sure if you can answer this. My priority date is Feb 2011 for EB3 India. The current date of filing for 485 is April 2010. How long might it take to become Feb 2011.
I was rooting for Quindim
How can Fedex breakup? I thought Amazon had upper hand in this.
I agree Email is slow is an arguable statement, for email you need to add recipients sometimes CC and BCC carefully plus you need Hi/Hello/Thanks/Signature etc which makes it more formal for daily communication for getting things done. My Second issue with email is, in the above example let's say Bob and Alice have different questions about Lazarus's email and start typing their responses at the same time and send them. Now you have 2 different threads of the email and this can go on and on and in no time you have chains of emails flying around. Let's say John (one of the people copied on that email) is on vacation. He is going to have tough time trying to go through that mess and piece everything together.
[ Hello all,
I noticed that there are many logs for blabla the last few days and I don't think that it is normal. I believe the problem is the updated version of gem blabla.
I have opened an issue describing the case in Redmine (#455) in the current version. Feel free to change its priority in case blabla.
Thanks, Lazarus ]
My point is that the above piece of conversation happening over an email is super slow and backwards. Lazarus should just be able to talk to the group directly which a platform like Slack or Teams makes possible.
Back when there were no apps like Slack or Microsoft Teams etc Email was probably the only platform for everyday conversations within an organization. But now you hardly need email for day to day trivial conversations within a group. Of course you need Email for a formal organization-wide communication and for all external communications for which you need to put some effort in composition and formatting.
Maybe it's just a bad example in the article. It seems like a regular conversation between a group of people to get things done in an organization. At least in our organization that type of conversation happens in a quick meeting or some collaboration app link Slack or Microsoft Teams, formal composition of messages is not necessary in those kinds of platforms. Email seems to be an overkill for stuff like this ...
With the same analogy, UI is probably the dog trainer who knows all the commands that the dog understands. You tell the trainer what you want the dog to do and trainer issues the right command.
comments like these appear all the time when a country like India achieves something significant in Space. People question "why put money in space if millions are starving".
push/pull seems to be working for me. Getting 500 server error while trying to browse repositories on the website
People have same opinion about Azure. Microsoft didn't change it. Ananas is still not that bad.
Didn't NASA report recently that earth is greener than 20 years ago due to China and India?
> Are we sitting in a ball on some gigantic alien's coffee table?
sometimes I have the same question but quite opposite. What if there are miniscule worlds right on our coffee table.
all I am saying is, the ability to do something with constraints that are out of your control, is a skill that needs to be learned.
I'd like to add a 3rd thing, which is learning how to start something and try to do whatever it takes to finish it with constraints decided by someone else. Most likely you will be doing the similar thing for your entire life after getting out of college like starting some project or a task at work and trying to finish it whether you like it or not.
But that's the reality of life and part of learning as well. Most of us don't get the luxury of doing things on our own schedule or terms. Usually the schedule is decided by someone else, like the customer or the boss or whoever is paying you.
IS there a TODO app with google spreadsheet as backend?
Visual Basic did something similar to Basic with drag and drop controls and writing most of the UI code for you. This seems like a command line version of same thing.
Not everybody gets the luxury to afford a good designer. Frameworks like Bootstrap/Bumla help developers with poor aesthetic sense or simply not having time to deal with design nuances across different browsers a way to deliver better looking applications.
In the System Icons section they have this tagline "Simplify icons for greater clarity and legibility." below an abstract icon of a so called ship - [https://material.io/design/iconography/system-icons.html?ima...]
Which I think is ironic.
Because if you see just that icon it's really hard to recognize what it is, I bet many won't see a ship it (at least I didn't). Only because of a realistic ship icon shown next to it that one realizes that it is in fact a ship.
May be not relevant but somewhat related to the title - Some plastic ended up at the bottom of Mariana Trench
I certainly don't want them on my CVS receipts.
The only utility of a receipt for me is just so that I can make returns. Otherwise I simply trash them.
