That's a lot of work though, I just let the verilog compiler handle that.

How would you do that? Is that one of those weird things were you exploit toggle button behaviour, or is there some way to actually do onclick toggles in pure CSS?

It works perfectly well in China. You can get eleme, sherpa, baidu waimai, and a dozen other services to pick up food for you, sometimes even from one person home kitchens. Payment happens either over Wechat Pay or Zhifubao, which are app b

I just learned about it and Andy Grove a couple of days ago, which really puts the "oh, this person would be cool to talk to" and the "oh, that's not happening" awkwardly close. But some view books as a receptacle o

Coming from an outsider, having heard about how much sifting there is in Academia, couldn't that be because there's more people that want to be researchers than there are research positions? Someone who works in a sub-field withou

I know this might be a bit off-topic, but I haven't been able to access any of his articles from China. Trying to ping the URL gives me "unknown host". Don't think it's blocked though, is it?

I think catering to the lowest common denominator is the wrong strategy though. If you're writing a tool that isn't trivial, you want to cater to the perpetual intermediate, which is where most people end up. No one wants to be a

The danger in that however is subtly disarming other rights. Say it's 1960 instead of 2016, but digital technology has taken off 60 years sooner. The NAACP youth council coordinates over Facebook and e-mail lists instead, and the civil

I think it's because it invokes the "Oh, that's so cool" feeling in people. It's a good feeling, even if it isn't due to learning about an interesting algorithm. Hackers and Painters I guess.

Loading times/responsiveness are certainly a design constraint, and designers need to be aware of this. Imagine a print designer that didn't know about bleed, DPI or colour showing through paper. They may not personally be in char

I think that should be further specified. It's not just that culture matters, but cultural expectations and the environment that leads to. See, I listen to a lot of rap, or "black music". And differences in taste aside, some

Unless you're dealing with interfaces towards squishy components, in which case leniency reigns supreme. Last thing I want is my email program to discard what I wrote because there is a typo in it.

Did you make that account just to dismiss the entire interview on misinterpreting a minor point and then be inflammatory about it? That makes the provocateur comment of yours a bit ironic doesn't it.

I mean it's a general interaction design principle. Provide sane defaults, offer customization. As a corollary, if you need to prompt for data, think long and hard about whether you actually need that data. Hrm, thinking about it, it&#

It's personal resentment against a person in particular, and there's not much to be done about it. But I do think that people like that are harmful, and that they need a good blunt reality check.
