All I see is a page with a login form.

    It will definitely change the way we code

Only on a low level, right? I have not been thinking about ram and disk in ages. I calculate with variables, I store stuff in a DB or in a file, I access the net via http. Nothing would change if ram increases I think.

"you’ll need to download the RemoteApp client"

Microsoft still stuck in the 90s.

> Imagine having memories of their past trauma, their first kiss, memories from the pain.

By that logic you would have predicted that the internet will not happen because "who wants to read all that shit".

> it is very unlikely that "we" could turn into an "I".

We share more and more every day. And the ones who participate in the sharing benefit. I remember when some people said "i will never own a mobile phone. i don't want to be reachable all the time.". They all have smartphones now. Todays kids not only have mobile phones, they have internet connected phones with cameras. And share their experiences online. Tomorrows kids will have google glass or an antenna implemented in their head. Realtime streaming their experiences into the heads of others.

What will stop this process in your opinion?

I say: go for it.

Dive into it fulltime. Do not take outside money.

From my experience, risk takers have the better life. On average. That doesn't mean you could not end up fucked. But that's the whole point of risk taking.

And for outside money - I have been screwed so often and so hard by business partners. Maybe it's just a personal thing. But if I had to give my young self an advice from the future, it would be: Don't entangle with others.

Oh, and I think you completely overdramatize this. Don't pretend you are preparing a flight to the moon. Just make a real minimal viable product in a month or two. And see if people use it. I have seen people with dedication going from not being able to program to having a working thing generating money in less then 2 months. Its all about going into it with 100% full force. If you tinker with a project on the side, my bet is that it will fail.

Finally we can have PhoneGap apps running in the browser!

Been coding PHP for 14 years. Running several servers with PHP applications. Serving hundreds of thousands of users a month.

None of the issues he wants to get "solved" have ever been an issue to me.

Taking away _GET, _POST and _SERVER would introduce issues.

In the "getting started", you should put the .js and .css files somewhere so the examples work. I copypasted all your codelines just to be dissappointed that it doesnt not work. I understand you probably don't want to be a cdn. But for testing purposes, I cannot be assed to copy stuff over to my server. I prefixed them with https://golden-layout.com/assets/ and it nicely worked. Nice. Bookmarked.

Thanks. That might work. But it feels a bit unaccessible. Looking through the code also gives me a strange feeling. Too many dependencies. They should just give you a .js that enables certain functionality and thats it. Like "include brick-flipbox.js and you have flipbox functionality".

Plus most of the demos do not wort (tried in chromium).

I don't believe in this thing.

Can I use this client-side? From what I read on the page this seems to be only geared towards a certain server-side-setup with node.js, brewer and stuff.

How does the healthcare system work in the USA? You have to pay hospital out of your pocket? Somebody who has not enough funds will not be treated?

What was their license? Can it be forked?

I guess it appears only if you have a certain amount of karma.

You had to dial into AOL and Compuserve?

So we want to make payments via our phones. My first thought would be to create a protocol for this. Instead we get ApplePay and GoogleWallet and whatnot.

If the internet was invented today, we would have AppleMail instead of email and GoogleTrans instead of http.

1) One thing less to carry around

2) The credit card gives away data that can be used for fraud. Your phone does not have to do that.

Interesting. In fact, I do not remember that. I started using the internet some time in the 90s. I never used Compuserve nor AOL. I never heard about Prodigy.

Bitcoin might be a way around this.

Also it might not be necessary for the involved parties to get together. They could release different protocols. And then the lesser used will be forgotten (like gopher is forgotten today) and the more frequent used will survive (like http has survived).

Update: Why the downvotes?

yes. wow, they fucked it up!

"size differences are illusory"

So two things standing next to each other are the same size as one thing alone?

Damn hard to imagine. I would think "size" does not really "exist" but is a man made concept. And by its definition, two things next to each other form a "bigger" thing.

You might be right. The traffic share of ipads is in the one digit range. I just looked at the stats of a high traffic website. The ipad accounts for 5% of the traffic.

However, when I want to look at a website to see how the designer planned it, I always grasp my ipad and look at it.

Because even if he planned it for Chrome on the desktop (which accounts for 50% on that website) I dont know the OS, the resolution, if he thoguht about a keyboard, a mousewheel, a mouse grasping the scroolbar or the trackpad of a notebook having a scroll area.

But yeah, the world of devices is pretty fragmented. Looking at an ipad doesn't mean too much.

I think the pages are quite beautiful.

But I agree about the scrolling. Even on an ipad, which I think is the standard device these days, the scrolling is broken at times. Sometimes I swipe up and a new page scrolls in. Ok. Sometimes I swipe up and some content scrolls in from the side. Ok. But sometimes I swipe up and nothing happens. Thats a bit confusing.

Hmm... "music" has a green SEO score. I would think "music" is not exactly a niche keyword, right?

Probably because it has a PR0 page on top?

An application can do all kinds of shit, can't it? It could probably replace your Browsers icon with an icon that starts a custom version of your Browser which uploads everything you type to some server.

oh, it was a lot of fun until somebody erased everything.

come draw with me:

Don't know about Win7, but Win8 has one. You just have to disable the "combine" setting and you have a taskbar with one entry per window.

If Unity is not aimed at tablets, then why does it have no taskbar?

What reason except to save real estate could there be? Who does not want to be able to see which windows he has currently open?
