It is literally training users to dismiss these kind of errors. In Chrome, these errors are really bad, like a safebrowsing warning or a TLS error.

On the other hand, this warning will probably happen a lot! Is Google going to be able to "validate" apps fast enough?


The Nokia tablet is the first that comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N1


That's over two-and-a-half years old though. The kinds of devices using USB-C that are coming out nowadays are using USB 3.1.


They mentioned the cost of storing all the articles in a database at the start. I wonder how much of the cost decrease was from removing that?


Lego hasn't reacted yet, and if I remember correctly this has been around for ~4+ years


Success rate is the % of people who we can find a name for. So you didn't encounter a success :)


I just launched Inkscape, and noticed the port seems to be done! In Fedora 26, they ship Inkscape 0.92 which uses Gtk+ 3.


0.92.x does not use gtk3 (there is an experimental compile flag to use it, but it's still experimental)


You're both right. Fedora enables this option on F26.

rpm -qa | grep inkscape

inkscape-0.92.1-4.20170510bzr15686.fc26.x86_64

ldd /usr/bin/inkscape | grep gtk

libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 => /lib64/libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 (0x00007f12a6a2f000)

libgtk-3.so.0 => /lib64/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007f12a4dbb000)


Maybe you could rephrase that. How many years of human progress and CO2 emissions have been caused by the uncooperative licensing situation caused by these software patent owners?


Well by that logic we can ask anyone for free stuff and point at CO2. Google is not giving away their data for free, the lend it to you.


Google Classroom has an interesting monopolising effect on schools. Google Classroom has changed the price dynamics hugely; making it impossible for other providers to really compete since they give so much away for free. It is really a shame - Google Classroom (the app) isn't the best LMS as it is quite unresponsive and confusing.


Exactly. This is an example of the possible downside of relaxed anti-trust enforcement: leveraging your domination in one area to brutalize competition in another.

Also, they've been caught once not keeping kid info private. They'll do it again. But, free.


Classroom for us is used in elementary,3-5. We use canvas for middle and high. Classroom doesn't have the features yet to be used at higher levels, though it's getting there.


What? Teachers love Classroom and why they pay to use. Something does not dominate as quickly as Google has in k12 unless very good. People do not lime change.


And the question is how long they will stick to it. There is a good chance they will abandon this at some point.


Surely if you dislike analytics, keeping these bogus utm parameters is "good"? They are misleading the webmaster in some form.


I'm not sure who you're talking to, or what kind of sites you are talking about; but I think my site is pretty fast loading: https://learntemail.sam.today/

One "trick" that I've found helps to add place-holder gradients for images. So if you have a background image, add a linear-gradient or something as well. That means that there isn't such a jarring transition between the gradient and the image.

But really - keep the JS to the minimum and you'll be good. Also try and avoid using a large CSS "framework" - as that can easily add more bloat. If you start from scratch and only add what you need - keeping it very lean.
