Why cannot we at least make that UI-configurable? Everyone would select what gender and skin tone they want to see in their UI. Same as code colors -- there's one code, but everyone is free to configure their text editors to colorize w

And the article says that yes, you need various different looks at the same data. I would say UX is a beast, once a UX person tells me what they need SQL query comes up easily. Figuring out what they need is typically the hard part.

My phone can hear me and answer whenever I talk to it, but I still prefer to push a button first (kinda intercom), or even just type :)

Agree, if your updates have time then datetime it should be. It's just in my work everything is date only. E.g. employment starts on a date, not datetime, there's no data loss.

They just looked for people like them. To an extent, that's ok, e.g. nerds like nerds. Sometimes a team lead likes very much _certain technology_ and want a person to their team to also like it and not keep whining about it. I've

Improvement idea -- in my experience "valid_from" is always a date (no time, no timezone). That's how it's reported in documents (e.g. contract validity period). Rows that need seconds (e.g. bank transactions) are events

One of the best map apps I saw is Mapy.com -- same OSM database, but works way smoother and looks better than OsmAnd. Less features, of course, but 99% of time I just need to see the map.

Don't bother with SSL, it's adds complexity. Don't add passwords, just "password" is fine. Password policies add complexity. For services that require passwords just create a shared spreadsheet for everyone. /s

The main pain for me is that most tools now sexualize the emojis: they force me to choose between :man-facepalm:, :woman-facepalm: and just :facepalm:. For. Every. Single. Emoji. I don't remember a case when I really wanted a sexualize

It becomes harder as many websites block popular VPNs themselves. Try any US or UK government websites. Or try logging in or ordering something on BestBuy or HomeDepot. Many sites allow ordering but then cancel order next day (e.g. when pro

Good point, my bad, I got the impression that they serve "all kinds of crooks", so naturally thought of terror groups as well.

Part of the task is to push engineers to understand the customer problems and work that way. Sometimes it's hard, when engineers are stubborn (I'm guilty of that too). This PM eventually found the way to push their engs, as descri

Ok, LLM translated and summarized. Then what? Someone needs to look at it and push important points. Sometimes it's hard to push engineers, until they visit some calls and push themselves.

Let me exaggerate for comparison. We don't allow dangerous playgrounds with sharp edges, even though "no one designed them to kill children". We force designers to make them safe (or build a fence around dangerous places, so
