You're not considering that a lot of people might just prefer to be explicit and specific about purchases. If I see I've run out of pasta sauce, I might want to scan the empty one to reoder it, because it's precise. I definit

Ah ok fair enough. There's no less content on many other pages I compared though. And as for the amount of stuff on the homepage, I wouldn't say the old site necessarily had the 'right' amount. I find the new design a bi

I'm pretty sure it only seems like it. If you compare the sites side-by-side, it's all still there, it just feels less crowded. Which is a good thing.

by callum85 13y ago
I read the negative comments before looking at the site myself, and was expecting to agree with them. But now I've looked at it, I think it's pretty good. The design could do with a bit more 'refining', but then so could

Are we looking at the same thing? I've got the new site open side-by-side with the last, and the total amount of content looks the same.

I know two women who have tried those. In both cases they tried for several months to get used to them, but they gave up eventually because they're so unpleasant to use, and it never gets any easier. Apparently.

Your comment doesn't seem to address what I was saying. I just described a situation where you might use JSON5 in development (so you can put comments etc in your dummy data) and JSON in production (so you get native performance).

by callum85 13y ago
I often use a JSON file containing dummy content when I'm working on a web app, and I manually edit the JSON a lot during development (then, when I've settled on a structure, use the static JSON file as the design for a real API e

I think this is terrible advice. I got much better at motivation over the last year by thinking in exactly the opposite way from what this article recommends. I accepted that I had virtually no willpower, and that I wasn't just going t

The 'motivational' comments were hilarious and refreshing. I strongly disagree with the other advice you've been given here. Don't 'turn it up to 11' to remove all the subtlety and ram the joke down people&#x27

"Free will" is not black and white. The lines of free will and accountability are blurred by things like mental illness, addictions, childhood naivety, etc.

That view is insanely simplistic. Sometimes people do things that are against their own interests because they are in the clutches of an addiction. In these situations, it is sometimes OK for someone to step in and overrule them. Sometimes

I don't think that would be saying the same thing. His point wasn't just that restricted access meant it couldn't become popular, but that it left a bad taste in people's mouths so it might not take off even now. So his
