Those icons are absolutely horrible. They are images, distracting the viewer by the amount of details. Icons should convey only the bare minimum of shape. The metaphor of the meaning should be captured, not the incredilous picture of a remo

Your consuming code is tied to Foo. In dart, the consuming code only needs tying up to the interface. > You always need a class Nope. That's the whole point which I am trying to communicate: you do not need a reference to a class to g

There does not need to be any knowledge of _any_ class. A factory method _still_ needs a class instance, you don't need them with factory constructors. A classical, say Java or C# way will still need coupling to such a class. In dart, there

If the producer would share the design of the iron with the world, the risk would be reduced significantly. The leftover parts could be identified by crowdsourced databases as nonimportant, or as risky to leave out.

That's where inifinite scroll is a good idea. Infinite scroll is usually correctly applied to datasets where it is unknown how many items the dataset consists of. E.g. google images, tweets, et cetera. We already have what you want, it's

And software engineering is quite dissimilar, if not completely different to computer science. Creating API's, building user interfaces, testing, has little to do with computer science, or information theory, or mathematics. Yes, it has som

What's the deal about the infinte scroll? Everytime I have to use it, it feels very unpleasant. The problem is the scrollbar which suddenly does not accurately hint the position of the document I'm in. A solution might be to change the scro

Google, Please add a warning that when a serif font < 24px is used for the main text, readability is degraded on most screens (new iPad being a notable exception). Sincerely, The internet.

I had that experience a few years ago, when javascript execution engines where not optimized yet for speed. Today, I have the same experience with apps built using flash, where there is an annoying delay when hovering/clicking. A mature web

Another difference is UI startup time. The Java VM took minutes on most computers to go from URI entry to first UI display. Compare that to optimistic rendering all browsers do today, where delay is mostly dependant on network speed.

The browser is an exempli primus of an app allowed to break the OS UI guidelines. This is becase the browser is becoming the OS, and the OS becoming the browser. Said differently, the only UI on the OS is coming from the browser. This of co

I like the cloud, but I really hate giving out control of my data. It makes a lot of sense for public data (tweets, blogposts), which you want to share anyways. I see a lot of potential in a "drop": a personal cloud server installed at home

I followed the little uproar about the JS semicolon. I do wonder though, did it became a running joke because of Twitter, or the developer rejecting them? (rejecting the not-use, I mean)
