Why bother with class 'bold' when you could use inline styles? (I jest)
I come from an older thinking that your HTML should not have any classes that imply visual style, and that classes/id's should be semantic to the content and structure of the HTML.
CSSZen garden is a good example of this.
Nowadays I personally love semantic markup, stylistic mixins, and a CSS file linking the two together following BEM patterns.
I think legitimate times when this falls apart, is when I watch the designers I work with now, work in HTML & CSS - they need to quickly move things around, so doing this all from markup gives them a big speed increase, up until a point that is. We get involved now early after initial client direction sign-off to make their markup and CSS more robust before they carry on like a pig in poo.
Utility classes I dislike (mixins plx) and the idea of using important with them is not a design decision I would want to pick up.
I guess my bigger problem is that Harry sells himself as an expert, stands up on stage telling people this is how they should be doing things... and here I am, no book, no stage and my specificity level gets trumped by Harry amongst certain members of my team (despite my years of qualified awesomeness across large scale, popular, public domain sites)
It's not just apple, it is every company that dodges taxes. Making an example of apple is not fair - everyone should pay their taxes... who knows how the systems we have in place would actually work if people used it the way it is designed (instead of finding loopholes for their own benefit).
Unfortunately I think the Judge does not understand the context here, users of whatsapp will simply use another messaging app - the role of a messaging app is not to store users conversations but relay them.
Any messaging app that actively stores conversations, and then turns them over to anyone when requested will simply not be used by the public (or if it is, it won't be for very long).
Engineers don't often get to chose the features they work on, or to what degree they get polished. If it amazed me, I would direct such amazement to the correct person :`D
What are you talking about? The Daily Mail is a terrible source of what they believe will sell to their audiences; news/tabloids is a business, and they certainly do not care about the quality of their product, but only the income they generate - which, is worthwhile remembering before choosing to digest its dribble. I am not going to waste time demonstrating examples when anyone can simply visit the site and experience this for themselves.
Sure other 'news' sources are not immune, but at least step above appealing to the lowest common denominators in society or attempt to form some kind of quality.
I could provide analogies to help illustrate the point, but it is a waste of time arguing about it.
> They also seem to be the first to cover category-B news
not for good reason, it has to be something like a crash of somekind (car, plane, boat, people), something that has explosions, or breasts, and always with pictures to cater for their demographic (I'm not even joking)
I am pretty sure these things can be obtained, and will be easier to achieve as it matures.
As well as devs following good practice with modal dialogues.
I used Titanium to build a cross-platform app, and once I understood what it is writing with my JS, I could ensure native/performant UI elements and animations were being rendered.
VR is not yet 'here' and is not currently delivering, but it is promising a lot.
The form factor alone has challenges which the public will not be willing to sacrifice for the experience, which could turn out to be mostly a gimmick. Some things people don't think about;
-) looking at your keyboard/input device whilst wearing a VR headset
-) being the same room as other people for prolonged periods of time with a headset
-) sharing experiences with other people close to you
-) what are you going to experience on VR, that needs VR so bad? Who is going to pay/develop and what is this content going to be... can it actually deliver, making good immersive software is incredibly hard.
The title is incredibly annoying. Leaving your corporate job for your dream has a very high chance of fucking up your life for a myriad of very obvious reasons.
Not only that, but the idea that following your dream by creating a startup would provide you with more free-time is beyond basic logic.
