yeah, reminds me of this other website: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ should we be hard-coding our styles into html and stop making stylesheets though? seems like a balance is needed

Well, hard-coded styles don't get cached by browsers, so that's probably not the best example. That being said, there are a lot of things people can do to improve performance that they neglect to. Sometimes it's just the pressure to get things done. Still, it's worth going back to revisit these issues. I saw this on Twitter earlier today, and I found it to be a fairly interesting read on the topic: http://yeoman.io/b…

Hard coded style inside hardcoded markup does get cached though (as part of the html)

so does hacker news ;)

I just did an 'Inspect Element' on HN. That's some state of the art 1999 web design there.

Yyyyyep HN is formatted almost entirely by tables...

But it does look good!

It's a new technology called "static HTML page"... I hear MS FrontPage can export this newfangled format.

At my uni there were a large number of profs with websites that, if you viewed the source, showed that they'd been creating in MS Word. This was a CS department. Slightly depressing.

I worked a bit in research and HTML was generally treated as a serialization format for other tools and HTTP was considered a dumb transport.

I had a presentation about REST&Caching and stepped through many of the low-level behaviours of HTTP, like the properties that verbs have and their interaction with caching.

I ended up explaining the whole HTTP verb thing for multiple days straight because it was kind of a revelation to many.

Now, the research department worked in a whole different department, web was only coming up as a topic for them and was of tangential interest.

My conclusion: CS is a vast field. Don't expect experts in theoretical CS to know practical details. Don' expect practitioners in compiler building to know how to build a website or anything about distributed architectures.

It's not depressing, it just shows how vast our field is.

HTML is typically not cached by the browser.
