Hi, thanks for the description. I'm pretty sure that what we witnessed at that time wasn't something like this though. We spent quite some time picking apart the javascript.

(I guess Google made it using App Engine.) This is a little embarassing...

Please explain to me what benefit the fade-in has to a) low-bandwidth users b) high-bandwidth users ? Edit: answering myself. There are least four aspects to the delayed display of images that I can imagine. 1) delay from loading time to wh

Right. Don't immediately follow their very strongly worded suggestion for feature X, ask instead what problem Y they are attempting to get solved. Then use this this as one input out of many. But surely this is old news to any prospect

That's because your very modern phone has a very puny CPU compared to even the average desktop CPU. I'm surprised about how few people know that their "2 GHz multi-core" phone is 5-10x slower than an average 5 year old d

Things I learned: Listening to the users' explicit feedback is almost always a) at best pointless, b) at worst incredibly disruptive (in a bad way). Watching your users use your product (in person!) is almost always enlightening. None

I have plenty of bandwidth. (Also: exactly what bandwidth does it save, even for those that have little bandwidth? Aren't browsers better equipped to decide what images to load or not?) The page doesn't load any faster; the only e

(Is there some protest somewhere I can join to fight this idiotic image-fade in effect? You know, the one made universally hated by medium.com.)

That's odd; it was wonderful to experience on my desktop pc. :) I guess a really big screen and a beefy non-laptop CPU helps. Maybe they should start making laptop versions of these "interactive stories".

Really? The sweet-spot one, LG OLED65B6V (65") is about 24k SEK in Sweden (after 25% VAT). That's about 2100 GBP. In the UK (with 20% VAT) this one seems to be about 2700 GBP: https://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=3

Samsung are not making OLED TVs. Maybe you saw an LG OLED TV?

The Swiss train system is similarly renowned. How do they do it?

Wow! (Jag tackar!) I did actually look at Runeberg first, since, obviously this should be the one place to find it. Got fooled by thinking the name of the book was "Drömbok".

I'm confused by the thinking behind things like these. Seems like they should be static data dumps rather then network APIs. (Or why not both?)

Can anyone find the original Swedish book in digital form?

Exactly. Maybe in 20 years they'll be competent when 95% of the current code has been retired but until then: Sayonara. (Well, I doubt it, but there's at least a theoretical chance, right?)

The messed up thing here, if I understand the article correctly, is that documents shared via a private URL containing a private key were all searchable via the search box on docs.com. That's beyond being a UX issue, it's just.. w

So Microsoft is still mediocre security-wise, despite all of those people claiming the company has been reinvented? I can belive the reinvented claim (that's the kind of thing a new, good CEO can influence), but quality goes very deep,

That's also a sort of competency, I guess? :)

I totally agree with the point you're making but I do want to make it clear this is also (mostly) the case all over the "western world", for instance. (it varies slightly country-by-country.)

All of the Singaporeans I know a) hate him, and b) totally missed the point he was making, albeit somewhat ham-handedly.

Now I'm really curious. What bell are you talking about and why is it relevant?
