From a design perspective font icons are a very good solution when compared to sprite sheets or SVG. They are scalable, they load a single time, and contain nearly every iconic type of symbol you could want in a UI. That's not an anti-pattern.
A lot of it is semantics. A bunch of HTML5 is semantic vs. actually having different behavior. <header> behaves no differently than <div id="header"> but is more semantically correct.
I'd been using this article for a couple years when I was a Linux server neophyte and now some of these things seem obvious to me. A good article for total noobs.
Yeah a huge part of this too was, for whatever reason, old search engines not being able to index what was inside of tables. I imagine it's not even like that anymore.
I think the sole exception to this might be a full-blow library for Material Design since it's the only open standard we have right now, and it's very, very good.
It will never not be faster to roll your own based on the project needs. Aside from knowing how to use Bootstrap, I can appreciate the work on these CSS grid systems and frameworks but I don't see any need for most of them. Do people use Blueprint anymore?
Disassociatives have been used for a while in the treatment of opiate addiction, including the usage of higher doses of dextromethorphan to treat heroin addicts. To me it comes with little surprise that this could also be an effective treatment for depression, despite the fact that depression isn't necessarily something that can just be treated away. I've personally done more than my fair share of recreational ketamine and it seemed to aid my coping with some major life issues I've had, though I suppose this could also be placebo. Regardless, I'm glad these types of studies are being done and hope to see some more concrete evidence of positive effect.
One of the many mistakes you've made in your string of bad posting is the assumption that all brains behave the same. Another mistake is being histrionic as hell. Maybe you could CBT some of that away by not posting.
Ordered mine after seeing Ray speak at Ancient City Ruby conf last week explaining parallelism and its benefits. I have no idea what I want to do with it but I'm excited to have a tiny computer. Maybe I'll make a custom case for it and use it as a DSP computer.
I definitely agree with you re: insular journalism, though I think Twitter has been more present during world events than FB ever has. For instance, allowing people to mass communicate during crisis. It's much better at breaking news than FB ever has been, which I would say is more important, and IMO the Twitter team needs to recognize that and quit trying to become FB.
Nice piece of history. You can see its age showing:
"Rather quickly it was realized that if you want to ensure a reasonable user experience both on desktops and mobiles, there is absolutely no way you can use the same HTML for both sites."
Sublime is a great editor. I purchased Sublime many years ago and improved my ability to work. Now I'm using Atom because I like the way it looks, it does everything I need it to do, and while it may be slow to open, I leave it open anyway so it's not really an issue for me (note: Of course I want everything to be as fast as possible).
That said, I still support Sublime and would still even buy the upgrade to the new version if it ever comes out.
Damn, you've really opened my eyes to all these other environments that exist besides iOSX. I'm crying now because you've lit the way for me, and I feel so foolish for all the work I've accomplished in my monocultural environment.
Perhaps being so dismissive about something that is potentially very useful for seeding new ideas about identity wasn't the ideal way to present yourself. Unless that's your personal brand voice, I guess?
What exactly is not useful about using HTML and CSS to create web pages? The entire medium of the web to create applications is already far beyond the original intended design of the browser, etc. So what makes it so bad besides that some people, who seem to think they're pretty smart, have a lot of difficulty with it?
If it is such a problem for you, I would suggest coming up with actual solutions instead of the Grandpa Doom visionary "prediction" you've offered which is of no value.
I wonder if the OP has ever even seen Pentagram's earlier work. This assumption that all branding has been slaved over, or that no one has ever come up with a good brand in a short period time, show a lack of understanding about branding AND logo design. Sometimes the quick ideas are the best ones.
