One of us misunderstands what visual anchors are. I consider the staggered drop downs visual anchors. I don't disagree with a single point you made about the anesthetics, and still passionately believe the ux is worse now. The new one

It was all clearly grouped before, but also had visual anchors. The new groups don't satisfy the WCAG contrast ratio guidelines. The new view is definitely 'cleaner', but in this case, that's worse. This isn't an ar

The best use of this feature is 'Chrome apps' or "Edge apps" where a web version of an app (like facebook messenger or whatsapp) can live inside the process of the browser instead of their own whole separate process, dra

I'm not into the sample code using static imports. Static imports makes it hard to copy examples, especially if you don't include the imports statements. It's a bit unfair to compare stream API to similar APIs because it&#x27

It sounds like you're blaming the jr devs or the fork app, but really you should be blaming the tool, git, for allowing users to mangle their repos.

Forced arbitration can be a double edged sward for the corporations too. A while back, a company filed a motion to dismiss a class-action case because everyone signed arbitration agreements. The judge denied the request and forced the compa

Can confirm. I just spent many hours trying to diagnose why an API was timing out. Turns out Snort blocked the IP address of the certificate authority which chrome was secretly using to verify the API's certificate. My local machine ha

This article misses the point of software controls: The designs can be changed up until the release of the item, sometimes even after the release using post-sales software updates. This allows companies to be more agile. The lead time for p

The main point wasn't the problems with 3d printers but actually looking at dd from a human centered design perspective.

by cosmotic 4y ago
It's great to have control over this but I suspect most users never knew this was happening, had no idea dd could bypass that behavior, nor knew which argument to pass to dd to accomplish this. It's like saying 'what makes 3d

If they don't like sending those 30KB for jQuery, why are they sending 60KB of pretty plain-looking fonts?

Just watching undercover boss, the CEOs always do a terrible job at the 'no-to-low-skill work'. I'd guess employees, given a chance to evaluate the CEO using their own job as a metric, would probably chose quite a low figur

Where's the standard speed?

That's a good point; the crashes are now empty white screens without notice.

Human centered design research established long ago that GUI applications are easier to learn and easier to use. Terminals are a good 'lowest common denominator' due to their simple design and low cost implementation. People want

by cosmotic 5y ago
Unless I'm missing something, one common use case the GUI makes a lot faster is issuing commands that need container/image/volume ids. Opening a terminal in a container is a click or two instead of two commands where the seco

I still use jQuery. Code is maintainable and theres no frustrating, inconsistent, security-fraught, frequent-breaking-changes NPM situation. I have maybe two dependencies instead of literally thousands. Pages load fast and the foundation I&

I think the argument is less that the experience was of no value and more that the opportunity cost is high.

This would seem to indicate it is hard to find Rails devs, which itself might indicate devs don't like Ruby/Rails. If devs liked it and the market was growing as fast as devs were learning or slower, then commissions would stagnat

On my personal project with 78 integration tests it takes about 2.5min. Test coverage isn't anywhere near complete. I can target individual tests too, but I'm usually testing in browser locally anyway so its the rest of the suite

Every time unit tests pass but it fails in production means you know exactly what kind of test to write next: one that replicates the issue in production. Unit tests are quicker to run which makes iteration easier. Integration tests take lo

I haven't experienced the electron process crashing but I have many times seen an electron app 'reload' by surprise; I suspect this is a default exception handler catching something that wasn't otherwise caught and would

installing the app locally isn't as sustainable. The data and configuration for test environments gets scattered across the system and is less reproducible for new comers. As changes are made to the test environment, developers have to

Icons in menus are good visual anchors which leads to better usability, but only if they are used sparingly. An icon for every menu item ends up being worse.
