[09:20:03] <Ingar> why is it that all modern websites have to be obnoxiously unusable
[09:20:50] <Ingar> except soylentnews ofc, but that's a retro website ;-)
[10:03:06] <AlwaysNever> because modern websites are built using "modern" frameworks with 10 layers of abstraction over the plain HTML
[10:04:04] <AlwaysNever> whereas Soylentnews juggles the HTML directly mixed with the Perl code
[10:04:34] <AlwaysNever> modern websites trade developer comfort for a nightmarish user experience
[10:04:57] <AlwaysNever> Soylentnews trades a nightmarish developer experience for user comfort
[10:06:24] <chromas> HTML was once a simple language for simple documents, and the people who created nightmarish user experiences were confined to Macromedia Flash and Shockwave. Once that died, they all took over HTML/CSS and turned our document viewer into a shithole.

[10:13:03] * Ingar hands chromas a yellow hard hat
[10:13:34] <Ingar> Stand back! Doing website development!
[10:13:34] * chromas passes back a revolving animated email icon
[10:14:05] <Ingar> aah the nostalgia
[10:14:23] <Ingar> now make sure you view it with internet explorer 6
[10:15:12] <chromas> IE 6 single-handedly held back the webocalypse

[10:18:03] <chromas> We've even got robots to generate our memes now
[10:18:39] <chromas> many labels; it must have a lot of political cartoons in the training set
