What does modern mean in this context?

I think the idea is that "note that" doesn't really add much to the thing that follows.

That's a lot of middle seats.

Using SQL workarounds/hacks just makes the code harder to read and harder for the query optimizer to detect the original intention and optimize in the future.

I'd argue the what we have now is worse than 95/OS9. Affordances, feedback, and system status are gone, UI elements are gone or hidden until hover, error recoverability is an after thought, and consistency is nonexistent. Everyth

The linked regulations throughout the other comments are all about efficiency when sleeping.

These aren't that powerful from a computing standpoint; They use low-end i5 11400F along with a low-end nVidia 1650 Super and have 8GB single-channel memory. Also, I think it's more about inefficiency when sleeping and idle.

Can you explain how Razor is dynamic? Do you have an example? Last I used Razor, you defined the statically-typed model at the start of the file then had strongly typed references throughout the page.

If it's bad by one metric for one person but not-good for all other people in all other metrics, then overall I think it's fair to call it bad. You don't need to rigorously define bad to establish bad; a brief survey of commo

Design choices have consequences. If those consequences are consistent, and consistently bad, I think it's a fair point to call them out as mistakes or bad choices.

What do you consider a modern user interface library? I feel like all the interface libraries for C++, Java, and .NET are strongly typed.

It is crazy complex. Task bar items don't represent exe files, they represent windows spawned by process started from exe files. Excel has many different behaviors depending on how you open a file. In fact, you can get excel into a s

There are two issues here: 1. The task bar, application, and process metaphor in Windows is not conducive to drag-and-drop onto taskbar items. Dropping onto an exe would start a process and pass the file as an argument, but doing this onto

I'm not sure the point was about tone. It was letter by an academic for an academic touting the former's intellectual contributions and apparently intended to be publicly displayed. I would have expected something more structured,

Maybe the argument is similar to: Having a "School of Alchemy" is a poor choice for teaching the history of Chemistry.

I very much agree that load time is not the only metric that should be measured. Unfortunately, it's one of the easiest to measure. It's also one which does not sacrifice any other UX metric like low completion time leading to les

Users perspective? This specific user is a developer; I'd say this subject is quite misleading.

Until Keychain works with Chrome, Windows and Android, I don't consider it a viable alternative.

I see this as largely a tooling problem. Fireworks from the early 2000s did a great job helping with optimizing images. These days no one even thinks about it. Tools like Sketch will export SVGs but embed base64 encoded data URLs of 600dpi

SVG is XML so it's very verbose but is fairly compressible. Comparing all four would make a lot of sense.

In this instance, corporate culture is a stand in for 'what the boss wants the boss gets'. I can't think of a company culture that is healthy and also different from what it appears everyone wants: flexibility in their work l

Sounds like a good user story. As an application user, I want to start a career as a software engineer, so that I may save my data from a deliberately crippled application.
