In some ways yes. But in some ways this is like saying it's more likely to rain on your wedding day.

I don't have an opinion either way, but for now, this is just anecdotal evidence.

I'd love to be able to watch people work, who say that they're sucessful with these tools. If there are any devs live streaming software development on Twitch, or just making screen casts (without too many cuts) of how they use th

Does anyone have info on how stuff like DemoBadCalkl works? Does it interpret it as a programming function name, and then reason, "well, openGate is the thing I shouldn't call, so I guess I'll demo it?"

I think the principle about a "Single Primary Action" per screen heavily depends on the type of app you're building, and which use case you're optimizing for. Sometimes, especially for power users of an app, it's us

I think there's a fundamental difference between a story and a math proof. A math proof is mostly there to give you new knowledge. While a story definitely can do that, for many people, they're also about human connection. Even

It's a site that lets you call a number to pretty instantly make changes to the website. Not sure how long it's gonna change un-trolled, but I think it's pretty neat!

It might be a small thing to take a principled stance on, given all the bigger things going on in the world, but I've never listened to podcass on Spotify or any other platform that has exclusiev podcasts without an RSS feed. Because t

This looks very promising! Being visually impaired, I often worry that I miss things about form when watching workout videos demonstrating an exercise. If this app could give me feedback to improve my form, that's wonderful.

This sort of OS advantage is why companies are now required to show you available options when you furst use certain features. I'm not saying the current approach here is the best mitigation, but for instance on IOS during the OS setup

This looks very cool! I'm slightly worried about permissions evaluating to "true" if they're not specified. I think this will lead to a lot of actions being accidentally allowed.

We're always building abstractions on top of abstractions, that's how your whole computer works! Like, Assembly is an abstraction over binary instructions, compiled languages are an abstraction over assembly, etc, etc. I'm to

The two main things for me are: - Put cause and effect close to eachother - Don't block my view based on mouse position. I hate video players that ofverlay the pause button when the mouse is over the video, or images that get obscured

Toasts showing up far from where the action is take also makes them super annoying for people (like me) who use screen magnifiers. I'm oftne using a site while zoomed in, and will completely miss a toast, because it never enters the &q

Many frameworks have the idea of a context" for this, that holds per-request state, following your reques through the system. Functions that don't care about the context just pass it on to whatever they call. I think Go was smart

It still doesn't seem to have an understanding of the "logic" of certain structures. I asked it for a photorealistic image of a Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster, which has a very specific layout and type of track. Not only di
