And the worst part is, you end up using framework C to enhance framework B that did some things better than framework A.
Such, for example, is the reason why I looked at rolling my own lightweight SPA -- if I were to request, on every page, the entire minified jqWidgets js file, that is a 2MB download!!! If I don't want it all, I still need about 20 individual components, and that's 20 round trips (at best 2 at a time) to the server. In either case, it's a sh*tload of time spent waiting for the damn js files to download, so to compensate, I end up with a website where the initial page takes a few seconds to load, and I use my SPA "framework" to load pages after that, and it's darn fast.
So yeah, when it comes to web stuff, I can really see the reason for vanilla and framework-less. But then again, what do you when you want a grid with inline editing, filtering and sorting capability, and support for a variety of different kinds of controls? Well, even rolling my own (which is utterly painful) ends up, in the end, creating the same mess.
Moral of the story? Web development sucks.

There is generally an answer to the framework download issue, which is to host the JS and deliver via a CDN. It looks like the jqWidgets team are stubbornly refusing to do this.

You could also process your components on build, so that you end up with a single file with all the components you need.
If even that is too much, you can use a module system like AMD to load the components only when you absolutely need them.

As a driver of technical innovation for a software company, a huge part of my job depends on forecasting how current tech trends will play out, merge, dissipate or expand. Here are some of my predictions of what the world will look like in 2020. Pay attention: these lists are always 100% accurate

Thank you Captain Obvious for predicting the present.

Mueller and Oppenheimer postulate that taking notes by hand requires different types of cognitive processing than taking notes on a laptop, and these different processes have consequences for learning. Writing by hand is slower and more cumbersome than typing, and students cannot possibly write down every word in a lecture. Instead, they listen, digest, and summarize so that they can succinctly capture the essence of the information.
So, what about a phone?

I tend to agree with this, though suppose it varies from person to person. The "take notes by recording them" didn't work for me either.

For me, taking notes as such doesn't work, I'm one of these people that really can do only one thing at a time. I can listen and (try to) understand, or I can take notes.

I find it can be very useful, but you have to use them accordingly too. I mean re-listen a piece, stop, take notes, next piece, stop...

Milliseconds now. Oh how you'll long for the good old days when it took seconds to crack your encryption. After all, we know what dodgy videos[^] you watch (yes, it's SFW).

Articles like this crack me. If they expose the actual steps, it's usually something like:
1) Create a fake domain controller/network/server to which your computer will log in without issue.
2) Get physical access to the machine.
(and quite often: 3) Magic happens)
