Social Media is basically what enabled me to actually be social during the Friendster/Early Myspace era. It helped me get to know people I'd met in real life, and meet other people within the city I lived in.
Now if you're not on linkedIn, people question whether you are a real person or not.
I hope AI ends up like blockchain. It's there if you have a use-case for it, but it's not absolutely embedded in everything you do. Both are insanely cool technologies.
In my experience the reason they are so painful is because stuff keeps getting tacked on and nobody wants to clean it up because they are afraid they are going to mess up some crazy business logic that a small fraction of customers depend on.
And how about blind people, bots, accessibility in general? I don't remember java and flash handling different screen resolutions like desktop, tablets, and phones.
Yes, because the author of the comment didn’t explicitly carve out a moment to comment that Java/Flash were not great for accessibility, it must mean that in their hypothetical world where web applications that needed rich interaction and client side processing where based on Java/Flash type runtimes, it would have stayed shit for accessibility.
I’m sure the person you were referring to doesn’t want to make the web shit for the blind. Calm down
MRI machines use a superconducting electromagnet that once energized will run forever. The only power it needs is to maintain the low temps for the superconductor.
The "OFF" switch vents the coolant (helium) outside the hospital so the electromagnet stops superconducting and can turn off.
