Why you shouldn't rant while being drunk

Ignorance is bliss. And unfortunately it seems the internet is 
messing that bliss up for me. Over the years my internet behaviour 
has changed. One important reason is that there's so much on the 
internet nowadays. You can literally find anything online. And with 
that, you'll almost always find a solution for your problem 
instantaneously.

And that kinda sucks. It sucks, because it inhibits the way you 
solve problems. Earlier, you'd have a problem and after some 
thinking, tinkering and trying, you might be lucky enough to have 
found something that solved your problem. The solution might not 
have been elegant, or working that good, but you were happy to have 
solved the problem.

With the internet as it is, the solution is already somewhere 
online. And most likely people are ranting against eachother to 
discuss whether a solution is elegant or not. Some clever smugs 
might have posted a brilliant and elegant solution which is working 
great. In the end you end up fetching that solution from the 
internet and using it without even thinking about it very long.

And with all the clever solutions being available, you'd be stupid 
not to use the new way of solving your problems. As the new 
solutions for your problems become more and more rapidly available, 
you are in a continuous tredmill of implementing new solutions all 
the time. The question is whether it is really necessary.

You have to update your Microsoft Office suite every year or two, 
as you have to have the latest version for some reason. The old 
suite apparently deteriorates over time, and starts to suck as it 
gets older? For the occasional letter you write, do you really need 
the newest wordprocessor? I bet 90% of the people could even do all 
their work with a old version of WordPerfect for DOS. But then 
again, you want to insert your silly cliparts of cats into your 
document as well of course.

Same with browser development. We used to use plain HTML files. As 
time progressed, we wanted to make more fancy webpages. As all the 
markup cluttered our HTML files, we invented stylesheet to separate 
content from markup. We also wanted stupid animations and effects 
on our websites, so after using Macromedia Flash for about a 
decade, we switced to using javascript to do that for us.

The thing is, CSS is apparently such a bitch to work with in a 
normal way these days, that you'd better use a preprocessor to 
compile CSS files for you from script, in order to work with it at 
more advanced webdesigns.

You need JS frameworks to work around the silly quirks of the 
javascript implementations in various browsers.

Darn it, when we were young, we had to set the font-type with a 
font-tag in our HTML code. And that was the only way to do it!

The thing is, we were fine with it. And we could still be fine with 
it. Lot's of website markup barely serves any purpose anyway. The 
only purpose it seems to serve is advertisements on your stupid 
webpage.

Recently i found myself browsing a website, using a modern browser 
on a pretty new quadcore processor computer. The surprising thing 
was that a advertisement on the website was slowing down my browser 
tremendously. The thing was stuttering like an epileptic on acid at 
a techno rave.  I was confused, as i had Flashblock installed to 
disable all the Flash crap you could get. I figured an animated gif 
shouldn't slow down the browser that much, unless it was really 
large and my computer had problems downloading and placing the 
whole thing.

It turned out, that it wasn't a gif animation in the end. The 
advertisement turned out to be an SVG which was animated in some 
way and some transformation effects in the animation caused the 
computer to think it should throw all its resources into rendering 
a stupid advertisement.
 
Of course the implementation of SVG is great and all, but if it's 
used to display shitty advertisements which slow down a quadcore 
processo, then i'd rather not use it at all.


Boohoo, they don't make history like they used to. :(
