... has become nightmare. To me, at least. Why ? Because:
- Ads loading and slowing down the real content loading.
- When ads are eventually loaded, the displayed elements move so that the link you clicked on in the article is replaced by an add, and there you go with an add opening a new page.
- Full-page pop-ups that you can only close with a barely clickable 2pix by 2pix icon, provided you find it somewhere on the screen.
- Pop-up asking to install the application instead of using the mobile version of the site EVERY TIME you visit the website, switch from the browser to google play (for android)
- Pop-up for the authorization of the website using cookies
- Using a combo-box or radio buttons is a nightmare when more than 3 elements in the list.
- Watching a video on a website messing up with the system sound, also asking EVERY TIME for agreement to display full screen,...
etc... etc... I am under the impression of being back in 1998, where this was the standard on PCs.
I haven't touched my tablet for more than 6 months now, and I only using my mobile phone for surfing when really no other alternative is available.

Depends where you go - CP is fine, as are the other sites I visit on a regular basis. Mind you, I only browse via WiFi anyway.
But some of the hint sites for Android games...

Any newspaper site, or content aggregation. Then amazon, yahoo, etc..

I don't read newspapers on the tablet, but Amazon and FleaBay both switch to a "mobile view" on my tablet so I don't notice any problem. (Just like CP used to, but I noticed that as a problem!)

Do you get the question everytime about installing their app instead of going on in the browser ?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope - I just double checked them both.

Ummmmmmmmmmm. I am really curious about one thing.
Are you using Adblock and it's not working? Or, god forbid, you are NOT using Adblock?
If not, may I ask why not?
I have met people who don't have Adblock before. I think.... Once.

I am using adblock. Adblock does not capture pop-up windows, does not remove the "cookies authorization", does not increase the page loading speed, does not prevent the questions about installing the application instead of using the mobile web site.
|
|

OK cool.
I have an iPhone for testing. I run adblock and noscript on it (firefox).
I have not had this issue.
For me, it has 100% blocked all that stuff. Any chance of sharing a link?

Visit those sites only twice: For the first and the last time.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I could not have said it better.
With one exception, I have not visited FB even for the first time.

Nor have I.

I'm not entirely convinced anything's actually changed, based on your description, since 1998. Was it ever any better on a mobile device?

Hi All,
Can I ask what the definition of a Tuple is, a Python expert was going on aabout them being able to group a float, an integer & a string into an 'array' & being able to search them, to which I was asked how would you do that inn C, I answer a structure in an array. The I saw something about them coming to .NET...

A n-uple is an ordered atomic indivisible set of data. So yes, a structure is a n-uple. Tuples are simply 2-pieces n-uples, std::pair for example provides tuples.
ADD: one practical usage of tuples would be simple comparison and search between collections. Instead of having to overload an operator like in C++, creating a comparison methond in the structure like less guru-like C++ (which I prefer), creating a function to compare a structure instance to another or a macro like in C you simply can use the "==" provided by the language. Safer, more intuitive and faster to implement at the cost of raw power.

AFAIK, what you call n-uple is actually a tuple.
|
|
|
|

And you're perfectly right. I recalled my teacher lesson, who apparently got it wrong - wikipedia docet.

Tuples[^] have been available for a while in .NET. I assume you're referring to them coming as a return type in C#7[^].
