- agumonkey 4y agosome things never change :)
- anigbrowl 4y agoWhat is with that extended scrolling thing though. I want to look at the scrollbar to know how long a document (including a web page) is, not have it keep changing as I move farther into it. 'Oh people don't like looking at long documents' - then they're not your target customers and you should just ignore them and stop listening to the ad sales person who is paid by commission.
- duffyjp 4y agoProbably lazy loading the images/content blocks when you get near to save bandwidth but not having same-sized placeholders. I see that a lot.
- phist_mcgee 4y agoAds. It's always ads.
- anigbrowl 4y agoThat's a better guess than mine. I'm surprised that a high quality site like AT would accept such a low quality user experience.
- kccqzy 4y agoThey stopped being thorough after John Siracusa stopped writing them. Seriously, back in the days John Siracusa would dive into internal details. For example in 10.7 Lion (in 2011) Apple introduced full disk encryption. John didn't just stop at the usual description of the functionality, screenshots and performance metrics. He described Apple's then-new logical volume manager implementation to get this feature to work. He then speculated on Apple's future plans for the technology (pooled storage aka a single logical volume group spanning multiple physical drives) which became the reality in 2012 with Fusion Drive. This is the kind of review I wanted to read.
- dereg 4y agoJohn is in the pantheon for my favorite people that I do not know. I hope he never tires of sharing things with us via podcast or writing.
