Seems like you have never really worked on a large web app with lots of complex UI requirements, or else you would know what bootstrap is and when to use it and how much developer hours it saves. I am not saying it's the best library out there but it's pretty neat and gets the job done.

back in 2007 I joined a company in a department where they wrote tailor made websites for clients. One of the sites was built to generate reports for ~50 customer's accounts. It was a single webpage with 50 buttons having the account name on each one of them. So you would see a bunch of different shape buttons on the page, you click a button and you would be redirected to another website. It was internally referred as Death By Buttons.

Wow that robot looks so cool. Wish I can build something like that with a raspberry pi 3 and a ton of my kid's lego lying around in my house.

I didn't say MOV AL, 1h is equal to move 10 20. I mean the syntax looks like assembly language.

That's probably just a poor implementation on those websites. I thought the ability to search across larger content using Ctrl-F is one of the major advantages of infinite scrolling over traditional pagination.

Someone commented this in another thread

>Out of 195 countries it will be only the 4th country to do this shit. So it must be doing some things right. Poverty is one of the problems it is still working on.

Not sure if you can answer this. My priority date is Feb 2011 for EB3 India. The current date of filing for 485 is April 2010. How long might it take to become Feb 2011.

How can Fedex breakup? I thought Amazon had upper hand in this.

I agree Email is slow is an arguable statement, for email you need to add recipients sometimes CC and BCC carefully plus you need Hi/Hello/Thanks/Signature etc which makes it more formal for daily communication for getting things done. My Second issue with email is, in the above example let's say Bob and Alice have different questions about Lazarus's email and start typing their responses at the same time and send them. Now you have 2 different threads of the email and this can go on and on and in no time you have chains of emails flying around. Let's say John (one of the people copied on that email) is on vacation. He is going to have tough time trying to go through that mess and piece everything together.

[ Hello all,

I noticed that there are many logs for blabla the last few days and I don't think that it is normal. I believe the problem is the updated version of gem blabla.

I have opened an issue describing the case in Redmine (#455) in the current version. Feel free to change its priority in case blabla.

Thanks, Lazarus ]

My point is that the above piece of conversation happening over an email is super slow and backwards. Lazarus should just be able to talk to the group directly which a platform like Slack or Teams makes possible.

Back when there were no apps like Slack or Microsoft Teams etc Email was probably the only platform for everyday conversations within an organization. But now you hardly need email for day to day trivial conversations within a group. Of course you need Email for a formal organization-wide communication and for all external communications for which you need to put some effort in composition and formatting.
