Isn't Kali the destroyer?

I used to think, in the days of DSSL, that web design secretly aspired to match the standards of print design, and would do so when the technology could support it. And then advance further. Ink on paper is highly evolved. And smells nice. But we seem to have got to papyrus and somehow been dragged back to tablets. With print design values dragged down too. Although I'd concede that I can now do template automation in Word that would have taken 5-10k worth of software a decade ago. I dunno.

I never heard heard of taints and scruttocks before. (I live in a backward country.) But you may be assured I will use both in conversation by the end of the week. Bless you, /.

Indian restaurants are closing all over the UK because of a visa requirement that experienced chefs need a job offer of over £35k in order to get a visa.

see the words "review study" in the article? But, yer, seems like a bit of academic enterprise.

Yep. It's a popular misconception that you need 2 eyes for depth perception.

About 8 years ago I saw a DIY show done by students in a warehouse using really cheap kit I was convinced a real person was standing on the stage until she threw a glove off and it just disappeared into thin air. That's the kind of 3d I want. Little people in the corner of my living room. The technology seems to exist.

in reality, it's precision engineering all the way down.

I guess I'm just railing against the nonsense world of journalists and marketing people and insight executives talking to each other on twitter and imagining that it is real.
Personally, I blame cocaine.

Thanks for that. Was that really just on backchannel 8 hours ago? Will look more closely when I can find my glasses. But, yeah, seems like the same space as my complaint. X

... of all this crap on the web? Every cat photo. Every dumb script. Oversized image files. Etc. Each one has a tiny cost, if only to power the routers that smear it across the globe.

We learned to live with the dumbing down of design to accommodate acessibility and mobile. Could we live with image rationing and yellow on blue again, if it turned out the internet was pissing away enough resources to feed a small country every day?

(I guess jobs are created too. But I'd argue the people who do them would be better employed digging holes and building stuff.)

Has anyone done the sums?

if a drone came in your yard without an invite could you keep it for dissection and experiments?

I did show them how to make a bookmarky launcher. And explained that a niche, geographically localised product that nobody was prepared to pay more than £2.99 for wasn't really going to wash its face. "Just do it." But hey, at least they allowed themselves to be persuaded that storing the content on the device and syncing every 6 months wasn't the way to go. Which was pretty much what the big ticket developers who had jumped from Palm etc were trying to sell. If I'd had my wits about me I'd have spouted some magical words ("responsive design" would have done it) instead to waffling on about stylesheets and web servers.

"compiled the list" is internet for "cut and paste" . In this case from Schedule 4 of http://www.publications.parlia...
