I generally agree with the principles here and long drop downs are problematic. But the author misses an important point; on most modern browsers you CAN start typing when you have a Dropdown open and it will jump you to the selection that

Maybe I'm wrong but I still take the view that defaulting to your own service is fine, but locking it to your own service is bad. Google and Microsoft are both wrong in this case, and you know the old saying your mom taught you; two wr

I think outrage (of which anger is a component) is a natural reaction to someone scamming their way into a position of massive funding that many people are working tirelessly to try to reach. Saying that people shouldn't be outraged be

What? The size of a page has nothing to do with the CPU. Most of that size is going to be in images and animation, and most web pages put basically no load on your CPU. If one does it's going to be because of badly written JS, not beca

Agile doesn't give structure when compared with Waterfall (traditional project management), usually an Agile system is less structured (at least IMHO), and will have less meetings, shorter planning discussions, etc. If your team is dys

I would argue two things: 1) This is an irrelevant statistic. 2) Even if this were true it's not that big of a deal. This is irrelevant because most people don't browse the average web page. They browse the top few sites on the in

I think the problem is that people think Agile is a magic potion to fix dysfunctional teams and it isn't. Agile only works if your team works well together. There's any of number of ways for the team or the PO or the customers to

One might as well ask "Can Bitcoin prevent cancer?" based on "In the last 24 days people who own a lot of Bitcoins had fewer cases of cancer than the general population!" (Which I'd wager is probably true, but for r

This product is intended for parents to buy for their kid going off to college. It's pretty ideal for that. It would be a terrible computer for me due to the lack of ports and lack of performance but it's not meant for me. That&#x

This seems to me like someone realizing they've been using JS in really terrible ways and trying to stop that by just forcing themselves to not use JS at all. It's not JS's fault that people use it in terrible ways. One page

This abandons a lot of principles of JSON that are there to avoid ambiguous situations. The small benefits don't seem to outweigh the snake pit you're jumping into.

I think there's some valid points in this article, but there's also a valid point that kind of undermines a central thesis to this article: A logo does not need to tell you what it's for if your first viewing is out of contex

Nuclear power is safe and clean in the abstract, where ideal safety procedures are always followed and mistakes are never made. But in the real world, human error always causes problems. The problem with nuclear power is that the results of

Ugh, give it up already. If you're a white male like me you've almost certainly never been victimized for your gender or skin color. I face only positive employer, police, etc. biases. Being a minority is actually hard in this cou

On this issue he is. People outside of TV pundits usually aren't just one place on the spectrum on all issues. On some issues someone might be progressive while being totally regressive on another.

Give me a break. The people complaining about SJWs, safe spaces, etc. are 99% white males. I am a white male myself.

No, not really. This is a case of right wing white males finding some phony thing to get upset about and battle against. Exactly what they accuse "SJWs" of doing.

People have been saying this since 2007. It's not happening. Apple has continued to add new APIs and update existing ones and they have not closed anything. In fact they just open sourced Swift which is the future of OS X and iOS devel
