If you listed out all the requirements a modern UI framework needs you would find that the original Win32 UI API’s are not viable. Especially if you want to support more than just C and C++. So much code is required to do things we now take

There is no such thing as canonical “win32 widgets.” There have always been several different UI libraries even for win32. The original win32 styling you get with CreateWindow doesn’t support modern font rendering, high DPI, doesn’t work w

Develop exoskeletons to lessen the wear and tear on the human body. Provide nice noise cancelling headphones and a pleasant environment with plants and fresh air and good light. Augment people rather than trying to replace them.

I learned about it via an ad on my Kindle lock screen. One of the only ads I can remember that led me to a purchase. Great book!

An astute executive that saw an early prototype of this asked “how much does a Nintendo 3DS cost?” It’s a Rube Goldberg gaming machine.

Software generally has high margins. There’s no excuse.

And that’s the reason the modern world sucks for a lot of people. Imagine living in a world where people don’t design for you because it’s not economically worth it.

I love how the example is a problem only a rich techie would have.

Is your device running only formally verified software and has it been tested against every possible bit-flip or race or deadlock? Has anyone tested running the device for 51 days with a statistically sufficient sampling of configurations?

This should be standard operating procedure for any device with software on it.

No sale unless the geometry gives vastly more screen area for 16:9 video when unfolded and is thin enough to be pocketable. Until then, iPhone Mini and laptop for me.

I doubt anyone is trying to impress someone, it’s more likely they’re hoping to resell it to a greater fool.

You can control the amount of pedal assist. My heart rate still hits about what it does for a light jog. I’m losing weight too, all without really breaking a sweat.

Yea, I had a ID.4 pre-ordered but canceled it after I realized how absurd the price is. I bought a utility e-bike instead and that was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I barely use my car anymore and biking is way more fun

Why don’t laundry machines themselves use these symbols? How do I know what “hot” vs “warm” is in degrees?

It does a ton more than VS Code, especially for large Windows applications and C++ stuff.

Yea it’s a useful tool but the UI gets super slow for larger projects. And I dread opening Figma files now with my Comcast data cap.

Damn, wish I knew this before I returned the WD for a Samsung 980 Pro. I just checked and hardware encryption isn’t even turned on and I would have to wipe to enable it :(

Unfortunately it doesn’t have hardware encryption, so performance with Bitlocker turned on isn’t as great.

The problem, as always, is how to make immediate mode stuff work with accessibility tools. The value of essentially creating and mutating a tree structure like the DOM is that things like screen readers and UI automation tools can read it

Counter-point: I hear from a lot of women that I work with that too much video game talk makes them feel excluded. And many of the die hard gamers I work with don’t want to play casual games. Video games aren’t appealing to everyone, so ca

It’s terrifying because so many people have retirement funds tied up in stocks and this has the potential to decrease everyone’s trust in the idea of stocks.
