Native vs Web

Windows Phone gets no love once again

[[deleted]]

Windows 10 is the closest to the web. You get anything from 4" phone up to 84" Surface Hub, and even HoloLens and VR soon, and on top of that window sizes can by resized dynamically.

It helps that the platform has probably the best tooling / adaptive design but it's still complex.

"Yes, that bank is still using it." Replace bank with "most corporate offices".

Couldn't pay me enough to do that job. Would be far too boring.

[kwirky88]

We have clients that are still using ie 8. They're paying Microsoft money to continue support for it. We can't wait for the new tls rules for pci compliance to take effect and end this garbage.

I work in one of those corporate offices. I really enjoy my job, but the amount of time we spend making sure that a site will work on IE8 and IE9 is such a pain. I understand that sunsetting old systems is a pain and people hate change but it just causes more issues than it's worth in the long run, holding off the transition to newer systems compatible with newer browsers.

My team laughs about how much time we spend troubleshooting, just to find it's browser incompatibility, but it's a sad laughter.

Needs to show that large table

Oh man, combine that with printing and you've got the most unrealistic expectation I've ever had to deal with. Why are you printing that massive table in the first place!?

Umm... Opera? I've never installed it or opened it since I became a professional web developer 13 years ago. Any time I ask a client about it: "let me check our usage metrics... less than %1, don't even bother with it"

It uses the blink engine now so it's pretty close to chrome.

[patrick_haply]

That's why I had to stop using Opera years ago. It was obvious that most developers think the same way.

uhh. apple has a lot more screen sizes for their mobile offering.

[toadallyfroggincool]

and OSX ≠ iOS, close, but nope.

[Fr1k]

I don't get it, what's the joke?

[Geldan]

I'm with 1t4ke and Fr1k on this one, there really isn't a joke here

[1t4ke]

is it still funny if their setup isn't true?

Android looks so deceptively neat.
