Screen Cover Hardness Gradient by mentil · 2019-02-28 23:05 · Score: 1 · on Folding iPhone Patent Application Shows How the Company Could Prevent Damage In Cold Weather (appleinsider.com)

People have wondered how folding screens (particularly exterior folding screens a la the Huawei Mate X) are going to be protected. Glass doesn't bend very well at the hinge part, which means plastic has to be used. However, plastic that bends well tends to be soft and thus scratches easily. My sneaking suspicion is that this calls for a 'new' tech I read about here on Slashdot 11 years ago. In particular, bonding plastic, which covers the hinge, to glass that covers the rest of the screen. Sure, the hinge area in the middle of the unfolded screen would still be susceptible to scratching, but that'd be an improvement over the whole screen being less-protected.

"A dynamically generated internet" is just code for breaking the fundamental design of the web, by serving variable content for identical requests based on ephemeral server-side state.

Not quite. Either

a) You're under the impression that requests are identical. They aren't. Requests are stateful and depend on the context with which they were made.

b) You're under the delusion that a completely static internet depending on the request is a good thing. That would be fundamentally broken design in todays world. The internet isn't the black and white text crap that was featured on Slashdot last week.

Speaking of Slashdot if you now click on this link: https://tech.slashdot.org/stor... you may notice a few things. You may notice that it's your user name in the top right and not mine. You may notice that you made a post. You will also notice that since you last visited that page there is additional content replying to you and calling out the absurdity of your claim. That comment was brought to you through the power of the fundamentally broken web as is your ability to reply to it.

You're presumably a developer, and yet you can't conceive of any way at all that stateless requests can work for a web application with logins and changing content? Instead of thinking about it for a second or two, you lash out and call this apparently foreign concept "delusional" and "absurd". Nice.

And you're right, Slashdot breaks the pattern with its volatile paging. I suggested a fix to this broken design years ago, back when they asked for feedback. I'd settle for them fixing the editors first, though.
