Re: And
#2I think the results are clear: assuming everyone is high-DPI and designing accordingly is not only a safe bet — it’s a requirement.
I'm not sure it's a requirement just yet. Just because people have a high-DPI display doesn't mean they will reject any site that does not take advantage of it.
Don't get me wrong, you absolutely should. But it's not in the "do or die" territory just yet - us tech types skew these results massively, especially on desktop.

#3To save anyone from coming here to complain: yes, the title makes literally zero sense. Apparently this is a new trend with Marco.
The article is about what proportion of visitors to Marco's site have HiDPI displays.

He addresses the source of the title in a footnote [1]. It comes directly from one of the HN comments on his last post.
Re: And
#6The problem is that high-DPI doesn't mean high bandwidth, and sometimes serving those 3g mobiles with an eye-candy resolution image causes the site to load very slow for them. You will probably want to load low resolution pictures anyway and then if the screen has sufficient DPI load the full resolution afterwards.

If you read the footnotes, he's purposely trolling HN with the title, based on yesterday's discussion.
Re: And
#9Marco his site is full of pretentious link-baiting populist trash. I am surprised to see some people even take him as an authority other than as a notorious Apple-shill.
This three-character fluff title to bait even more clicks to his blog full of void is the final nail to the coffin. In two seconds I can think of a dozen better titles ("Use Analytics to track high-DPI-screens", "Custom variable for high-DPI-screens in Google Analytics", "Look at me I was on the frontpage of Hacker News", "I am so edgy, I will just give my article a nothing-saying three-character title").
The worst part is that due all the attention he gets from this, he and other people will somehow be under the impression that this was a successful endeavor. Bad publicity is publicity too, something like that. Please.
