Yes, I thought so. The presentation of the article I had didn't finish the last paragraph, so I assumed it was part of the paid content on the website and deleted it.

Yes, you would expect the armies of UX experts to be able to figure out basic consistency and discovery of components. Seems all the good UI research (using actual user experience testing) in the late 20th century has been largely forgotten

Would be nice if tooling took the principle of least astonishment[1] into account. A markdown which is also a build file with specific rules on headings and first block quotes? High astonishment. Literate programming without text semantics?

This post is very uninformed. "It can see new complex patterns and objects instantly without learning them." Except, it doesn't. It is clearly false. When animals grow up in an environment without certain patterns, they will

AI is already taking over humanity. The news you read, the products you buy, the advice you take, the friends you meet are all partially or fully supported by machine-learned algorithms. Personally, I do not doubt AI-based methods are chang

It doesn’t! Most was self taught by reading sources and some O’Reilly books. Community support was rather marginal at the time when true technicalities were discussed. Same as Stack Overflow now: loads of people with superficial knowledge,

Most of these icons would be much clearer if a dabble of colour and depth was added. All these flat design aficionados have only aesthetics in mind, not usability.

The relative size or your beliefs on technical prowess does not add an ounce to your right on calling the company evil. Personally, I feel that calling a company evil because it exploits ignorance, carelessness, impatience and greed (and it

That’s for everyone. Cones have lower sensitivity and more noise. Colorblind people have supposedly higher quantities of rods.

Other advantages of UUIDs: - client can generate the UUID, allowing eventual consistency and retrying using distributed DBs (other DB is on phone for example) - merging of DBs is easy - allows capability based access control (you can’t gues

Ah, yes, agreed! That was my first thought as well when I went into the deep flaming pit of TeX macros. Nevertheless, I guess he didn't have much reference material back then or did he?

If you think parsing JSON is hard, try parsing/generating streaming JSON while limiting memory bandwidth requirements. Fun exercise, with a push-down automaton.

From someone who has written TeX macro’s before: you probably mistake the ‘clean’ environment of LaTeX with the core TeX language. The former is reasonable, if very limited, the latter is die-hard “you thought you knew how to program, but t

Too often I see motorcycles being missed, because of their limited visibility and unpredictability. Due to that, and their higher vulnerability, they ask more attention of other road users. If I hit a car, well, it’s likely we both survive.

The main factor is mode, not behaviour. The point is: the probability of paychological trauma involuntarily caused to others is much higher on a bike than on a car, regardless of behaviour. Seatbelts and other minimum driver safety are obli

I never proposed for others to consciously select for certain genes. Those who drive a motorcycle can inform themselves of the risk they take and as such, choose for the higher probability of their genes not making it to offspring. Especia
