Good on you for thinking about the user experience of the person receiving the communication. It's a skill to know how to do this well. It requires practice and effort that many people don't bother with – because of a lack empathy

Great comment. People also used to use only a few pieces of software in any given day (or week, even!) e.g. email, web browser, and word processor. Now, our computer ("phone") is with us everywhere we go and we'll use dozens

Oof, that's a false equivalence. Construction workers have blueprints for how things are supposed to be built. You're (generally) making the blueprint as you go along, based on vague specifications in many cases. This can depend a

"have the hardware needed" ... being legalese/marketing speak for "the hardware may indeed be capable, but the software is not (yet)". So they're gearing people to expect the full self-driving capability, _even

> "Do not make password visible to shared contacts" are a huge PITA with no real benefit While it is an inconvenience, like most security, I suspect the benefit is that folks can't just write down or copy a shared password

I enjoyed this, thanks! I think they also nailed the music aspect of content creation. Whereas other platforms are actively hostile to users using unlicensed audio, TT licenses popular music which saves a boatload of effort on the content c

This is a massive UX improvement for large screens. I wondered how long it would take UX folks to make this change (along with moving app navigation to the bottom generally). Minor aside, they don't seem to support the <meta name=&q

The navigation (address bar) is at the bottom now.

Is this an opinion strictly about politics? Or does it apply to other topics? Sports? Art? Entertainment? Sometimes others look for more than just a paycheque at work.

I've had good experiences with https://wpengine.com/ for corporate sites anyway. It's not free, but a security incident can be far more costly.

Legacy design and use patterns. The top of the screen used to make more sense than today. Mobile-first design really hasn't taken hold for many UX web designers (and/or the organizations haven't adapted). Relatively speaking,

A lot of people have kids _for themselves_. There are a lot of other endeavours one can pursue that will bring happiness. I think where we fail as a society, is in teaching ourselves how to find those pursuits, surround ourselves with frien

In the long term, streamed games (Stadia or similar) are definitely going to become dominant. Steam, et al, can still be storefronts, if they position themselves as such – we still need content curation. All one needs is a screen with suppo

Hrm, I'm thinking that all the time one spends raising a single child could be spent educating a lot more children to be responsible. Raising != educating of course, but raising individual responsible children doesn't scale the sa

Blaming the programmers seems misdirected; blame management, if anyone. Programmers rarely get to set the priorities or determine resource allocation.

Hrm, your statement seems to suggest upgraded versions are primarily security updates. Good projects backport security updates (for LTS versions anyway), and new versions with new features come with their own new security issues.

I think it's more nuanced than just blocking ALL third-party cookies. If you have visited the site before (e.g. facebook.com), my understanding is that those cookies are allowed. It's only blocking third-party cookies from sites y

Thanks. I use multiple ways to change tabs. CMD+<number> (most often used), CMD+OPT+<left|right arrow>, mouse, or trackpad; depends where my hands are at the time. ctrl+tab actually feels a bit awkward on my MBP and only shows 5

This map isn't for navigating to the place in mind; it's more of a discovery tool based on travel time. Pick a place and then you get a standard geography based map.

The safest thing might be for the car to pull over, put on hazard lights, and tell you to wait or call for assistance. Humans deciding to go continue driving in such conditions is a mistake, leading to more collisions. Perhaps there will be

My S7 is IP68 water resistant and has a headphone jack. I don't think that's a challenge anyway. 1.5m for up to 30 minutes; enough time to retrieve from a toilet.
