Mobile phones are rapidly becoming touchscreens and touchscreen phones are increasingly all-touch, with the largest possible display area and fewer and fewer hardware buttons. The hardware matters, but the underlying OS is the same , and pretty much all apps will run on any device of the same age. Large preview ).

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

These both can be regarded as the latest techs in the arsenal of information technology. Today, we are here to talk about the successful amalgamation of DevOps and cloud-based technologies that is amazing in itself. As a user, you just need to pay for the services, install low-level requirements and set up the networking.

It's an important vendor-neutral space to share the latest in technology. USENIX has been a great help to my career and my employers, and I hope it is just as helpful for you. And now, helping bring USENIX conferences to Australia by giving the first keynote: I could not have scripted or expected it. It was a great privilege.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. The closer one looks, the less a definition of "appiness" can be pinned down to specific technologies. Don't like the consequences?

Understanding how mobile OSes undermine browser choice requires a nuanced understanding of OS and browser technology. Because they lean on the system-provided WebView component, they do not need to pay the expense of a heavier app download to support rendering HTML, running JavaScript, decoding images, or loading network resources.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Network effects are not the same as monopoly control. Cloud providers incur huge fixed costs for creating and maintaining a network of datacenters spread throughout the word. And even that list is not invulnerable. Neither are clouds.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. Also, the amount of data that is required for the page, and the complexity of the route it must travel through, will determine the amount of carbon released by the network itself.
