A lot of useful tips for sure, and it's good work. However, as a UI designer who has read (too many!) books on the topic, I wouldn't call this a book. It's 50 web design tips combined in a PDF. Probably better defined as a &q

As someone with a substantial (for me) amount of money in crypto, I'm happy Bitcoin is tanking. For many, crypto === bitcoin, and "the rest" is grouped together as "shitcoins". I totally get this sentiment, as 99% o

I experimented 5-6 years ago with a programmable metronome using KnockoutJS and realized quickly how easy it is to cause jitters and unpredictable performance on the main thread. I wish I had come across this post back then! Although a big

I get it. I was in the same boat, and played around with Vue and React for a couple projects, but since I've discovered Svelte, it's blown me away. It has the best of ALL worlds :) and it's super easy to use. Good luck!

I'm not so sure. It's a chicken egg problem: if developers get so frustrated that they suddenly start building great experiences on Linux, the users will flock there. It won't be a fast exodus, and it won't be clear cut,

Interesting to see KnockoutJS still being used in the wild! Cool game. Would like some more unexpected events to happen, and the Mortgage and Pension emails don't load, and neither does the "request valuation" of a bought pro

I guess it could be useful for simple DOM manipulation. The issue with it is, despite how great co-locality of concerns is, is that it can't EVER be separated. So I would use something like this if I wasn't using any framework a

Not OP, but after trying Svelte it's hard for me to go back to anything else.

I have to say Games Workshop and Starbucks are two easy examples, and say nothing about the underlying system of trust in a country. Games Workshop: a piece costs near nothing to them. It's just a piece of plastic. Makes a ton of econo

What's really going to cause is a stir is the equal pay for equal work movement. The more remote the workplace gets, the less it will make sense for employers to pay premiums just based on location.

There's different storage tiers, with different redundancy. So if anyone has an anecdote, would be curious to know which storage tier was used (e.g. single availability zone)

No problem! When you go on a website that supports 2FA, it usually shows you a QR code to scan in order to setup a 2FA token. Just open 1Password to your current login and click on the tiny little QR code button. 1P detects it and adds it t

Most sites let you reset the 2FA token. Took me 15-20 mins to reset all my tokens when i switched to 1P.

by gnrlst 6y ago
Yeah the QR code is not the special part. IT's the UX: 1 click and 1Password reads the QR code and adds a live authenticator code alongside your saved password, and auto-copies it to clipboard on mobile (and auto-pastes it in the 2FA f

by gnrlst 6y ago
Yes, in a way. But I find it so incredibly convenient it's actually encouraging me to enable 2FA on all websites that support it (and 1Password lets you know if the website does).

The community around Bitcoin is one of the most toxic. It's the main reason I haven't bought, and won't buy, any BTC (regardless of the fact I think the tech is completely subpar). Having said that, there's plenty of rea

I fell in love with 1Password (and immediately switched from LastPass) once I discovered it can parse and save the Authenticator qr code and auto-paste it at every 2FA step.

There's definitely a lot of use-cases for decentralized blockchains, I agree. If implemented correctly they could fight corruption, improve accountability and traceability and whole lot of other good things. The thing is, blockchain =&

Might also want to research Nano as a pure P2P currency. Cardano and Dot are more focused around smart contracts.

You're right. But security today does not guarantee security tomorrow in a landscape where mining incentivizes economies of scale. The more mining power converges (as it is already doing), the more likely for a fewer entities to collud

All the features mentioned above. For example: - transaction times - energy consumption - scalability (BTC currently does 7tx/s) - security (BTC is getting more centralized over time, increasing the risk of a majority takeover.) - fewe

Since you asked: nano is the only _pure_ cryptocurrency using a variant of PoS called Open Representative Voting. Other projects are piling on features to chase trends (defi, smart contracts). The inherent problem with having multiple func
