I recently spoke with Microsoft’s Jeff Burtoft and Aaron Gustafson about the company’s plans to bring Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) to Windows 10. And I couldn’t be more excited about Microsoft’s plans to integrate PWAs with the desktop. Just like no one has been asking to get for ages!

Speaking of age, I'm struggling to come up with an analogy between Progressive Web Apps and progressive lenses.

Progressive lenses have a use...
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Someone in the Lounge had asked about winforms and I had guessed (from the announcement on Edge going to Android & iOS) that this might be Microsoft's next step.

Also, in the related story PWAs will probably take over your browser -- so companies can mine bitcoin without you knowing.  Yes, it's funny, because it has to be. You can't take any of this seriously any more.

A small Los Angeles-based company, Bee Technologies, recently made a stir on Reddit by asking potential unpaid interns to complete a fairly complex software product before they were “hired.” "You don't have to be crazy to work here... but it helps."

Here, the front-end would like to send a JSON encoded API request to your server in order to upload a photo to the site. It is on you to create an endpoint that can handle this upload, then find a way to view all the photos that have been uploaded to the site in an efficient manner.
They got hazed for that? It would probably take me an hour to figure out how to do that with jqWidgets, putting images into a sortable, filterable, paginated grid as the most efficient way of handling viewing all photos.
OK, maybe more than an hour because my fu with jqwidgets is still at the neophyte level, and everything seems to kick and scream, but once I get stuff working with these controls, they are awesome.

They didn't even ask for that. They asked only for images, so a simple page could do the job just fine. This is not the revolting part, this is:

"Bee makes people famous by sharing their photos directly with their favorite brands."
Seriously? This is beyond lazy.
(Turns out what the company is trying to do is likely illegal in most states and especially California.)
