You're getting Android 12 release date confused with 11. 11 was released in Sept 2020, your point still stands however.


I'm curious what was the approach to get enough users to actually use this, also noticed there's dark mode, but I don't see a setting for it. Guessing it's for registered users?

tangent: Why are there still a lot of sites not doing dark mode first. Discord did a great job of this.


It seems to be using the system setting, since on my phone it opened to dark mode by default.



but how would this affect day to day life, though? Not how long you think it will.


Entire classes of diseases may become history. Creutzfeldt-Jakob and other prion diseases can now be completely understood. Precision targeting of cancerous cells will become trivial (in theory). Minimal life projects (simplest cell possible) will require less trial and error. In general, it will provide a magnitude level improvement to biotechnology, akin to moving from Aristotelian physics to Newtonian.

Some possibilities: artificial muscles for robots, man-made blood substitutes, designer enzymes to break down plastic and other compounds. Software defined biology, where the pipeline from DNA code to actual protein can now be modeled in silico ahead of time. The biology classes of the future may be less observation of animals and more training in usage of whatever the equivalent of Autodesk for biology will be. Healthcare economics in developing nations will be changed as biochemistry itself may finally become deterministic (to some extent). Orphan drug development price would drop (and if you take into account right to try laws and ignore ethics in favor of progress, then people with rare disease may be cured en masse without bankrupting the health insurance company).


nice.


Are there any screenshots of what this looks like when in use?


I just added one. Thanks for the suggestion!


I don't think there's any way around that pop up on a mobile browser.


You probably can block Javascript using uBlock Origin (for convenience) on supported mobile browsers.


Safari reader mode?


I forgot about that, Chrome has that too. That should work.


and also the Laravel framework


Laravel is a layer of singletons on top of Symfony components, I think it should not be credited for PHP renaissance.


Larsvel may be built on the shoulders of symfony but it achieved to build a great ecosystem dragging in new people. So he is right.


it managed to attract a lot of people that used to use wordpress or some spaghetti code, helping giving the idea PHP is not a good fit for enterprise-grade software.


The effects are very slow on chrome v74, but super smooth in FF v66. I suppose that's Electrolysis[1] in action.

It's perfectly fluid on my 74.0.3729.157 (Official Build) (64-bit) set-up.


I'm on Chrome v74, and the effects are buttery smooth, even at max resolution.


Check chrome://gpu

I suspect the nouveau video driver is the culprit.

I'm currently using Ubuntu 18.04


I've never used it myself but from the looks of the UI, it seems to be heavily influenced by gmail in design.

here's the google reader blog for historical reference: http://googlereader.blogspot.com
