Why do we need, essentially checkboxes, to have a whole simulation? How many people would even notice the switches have a transition at all?
I was fascinated with building websites ~25 years ago, but looking back, we were doing just printing press on screens -- e.g. the obsession with text-align:justify, and some people not satisfied with that, made punctuation marks stick out. All that "rubber" <div>s insanity... and now this: every little flip switch needs a whole animation process. Who will care if they have no transitions whatsoever?

- afandian 1y agoIt's like we never learn from history. Remember "The Grouch" Mac OS extension, and the parents who found that their children had deleted precious files because they enjoyed the little song? https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/The_Grouch https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/The_Grouch
- watersb 1y agoOn a Mac IIci with a reasonable amount of RAM, I has users run out of System memory when the "Grouch" extension was loaded. The audio was uncompressed PCM, and it took about 200KB. It was a nice tech support call, in the sense that removing the extension fixed all the weird crashes and reboots. But some folks were really sad to let the Grouch go..
