- Online vs. offline — how much functionality requires a persistent Internet connection?
I like the quadrant that can be built with that: every site I know can be put in it.
Cela me semble aussi étrange d'utiliser d'autres mots que problèmes et solutions lorsque ce sont exactement cela. Cela permet cependant d'orienter le débat vers l'amélioration.
L'idée de libérer un problème au lieu de le résoudre me semble intéressant: on résout un algorithme trop lent pour l'utilisateur, mais on
