So yeah, PPE is annoying, which leads to not using it, which leads to complacency, which can even lead to a toxic work culture.Same experience with construction. Though I've never heard of people calling others out for wearing safety equipment more so not wearing them. And atleast in here on bigger sites you actually get a hefty fine for not wearing glasses and a helmet while working.
I will say it's been super hilarious seeing all the "forget nintendo" reactionaries act up in the workshop in response; nothing says "stable member of society" like wanting to brutally disfigure random Japanese business men you have no true knowledge about because they (allegedly) deleted your Gardevoir OC dupe.I personally don't wish any bodily harm upon anyone, but lets be honest, Nintendo is a real piece of stuff these days. The switch console itself is a flop in my opinion, it could have been a way better product. It still has the potential to be, but Nintendo is so far up their own ass they can't see the light of day

I know you are not a web developer but I'll be blunt:You know well that smartphones are not the devices we are talking about here. Nobody is going to gripe about devices which are by design not intended for multitasking. It's entirely apples and oranges.
300mb of memory is a lot, sure, but guess what: I don't care.
The average smartphone has 4GB of ram. This means if the operating system takes up *half* of the RAM at any given moment, the user can run 6 apps simultaneously.
And that's on the average phone! No one is running these apps all at once!
Like I said previously, the ease of use and rapid deployment Annoying Oranges being able to multitask 1304 apps locally, which no one does. I wouldn't be suprised if in the future we saw a native OS/browser sandbox environment so apps don't have to ship with a web browser.
This is an outdated stereotype from a time where ECMA standards didn't exist and the entire industry wasn't behind React. Web standards are very well documented and set in stone, a lot of the really annoying stuff is deprecated and Javascript is no longer the only language people develop with on the web. (I'll expand on this in my next point)Your idea that JS interpreters and HTML+CSS rendering is slow comes from another era, this is no longer the case. Web browsers have literally become one of the most optimized pieces of software ever made. I remember looking at the stats for how quickly JS has become in every engine available and being blown away by how far we've come. Your statement that "we should be looking for new replacements" is fairly ignorant because people have been pouring blood sweat and tears in optimizing the web. And guess what? You can run bytecode! You can run binaries!And the fruits of the 3 have manifested in busy CPUs and monopolized memory space.
Every major browser supports WebAssembly! You can precompile any language and run it in a sandbox on the client-side just like JS.WASM's IR is a step forward but still lags behind Oracle's Java bytecode and Microsoft's CIL from the few benchmarks I've seen. I don't hold it against that though, as it's still young and still has a lot more time to get better.
The reason apps are slow, is because companies prioritize profits and quick delivery over making good things. This is not unique to web development. It's just a lot more visible because people use the web a lot.This was what I was trying to get at. Clearly there's a gap between the tools used and how they're actually being used, given the monument of issues plaguing web development. I doubt neither the developers or the companies are going to budge, so changing the tools to fit the demands of the modern web is the most clearest option, at least in my eyes.
some people dont give a forget because they are already half deaf anyways and the sound doesn't bother them."Lol that's not loud" ~ Coworker that was in the army, repeated by other coworker who apparently shoots guns without ear protection
There's a problem in the industry of mature, popular products becoming bloated with unnecessary features and getting constant meaningless UI refreshes.this is so true. first thing that comes to mind is windows itself. not to mention countless other programs that have done this very same stuff. core functionality should be top priority.
