Oh! I had no idea that was the etymology. Learned something today. Thanks! I think digital needs to fight a little harder than just headlines and above-the-fold style intros. I think including a short conclusion is valuable. Also valuable t

I’m sure it’s been done before, but I wouldn’t mind free synopsis, pay small per-article fee for full version. The tease paragraphs used on every news site always feel “mean” to me in some way. The text fades out, or it cuts off mid-sentenc

I imagine their point is deciding whose home address is used among many people working on a music festival, is tough. If that person leaves/is disgruntled, it’s still THEIR name and address on the account, where as most business mail

The weird thing about an economic model that allows that disparity to occur, is because it's some local maximum of effort to change. There's enough people willing to sell their stake in the fight to the next few up in the economic

I got an RM2 last year, and it's been the only product I've ever used a satisfaction guarantee on to return. I was looking to replace paper, which is basically always around my desk in sticky note or free-relator-notepad form. The

I use a password manager, but USED to do that “human hash” of a website. It’s because password managers are annoying at the worst possible times. The dread of “oh god… this device doesn’t support my password manager/im only going to lo

“CSS be weird, but it not be illogical.” Off topic, is that the English subjunctive mood, but the whole phrase is written in it? I don’t think I’ve seen much content written like that! I have to agree that CSS be weird, but one’s

I could imagine there’s a lot of toothbrushes near unsecured wifi hotspots. (Hotels, in backpacks of travellers in a cafe, a demo unit in a store) Could be as simple as polling continuously till one allows the device to phone home. This doe

Pharmacists don’t always get the respect they deserve. I trust my pharmacist a lot more than any pharma company. This is a great example why.

This is easily the thing that makes me most uncomfortable, no matter how much it could be improved. The ick-factor of it all is difficult to describe, and if it doesn’t bother others, I’m not even really capable of arguing why it matters to

The weight would be a major problem there, and needs to be improved before they can honestly pitch cardio with it on.

Simple way would be to add a “curl” target. Looks like you’d just need to write up a method that matches this Request interface [0] to some curl command substrings you mash together. Problem is of course: the headers and options are all goi

I have Anki to thank for helping me study a language I now speak in every day. What an insanely well scoped, well made, simple tool.

Feels like taking the average of all text on the internet, does result in barely OK output. Very few people are truly “average” in the numerical sense of the word, so you’re going to see better results from most devs compared to the coeffic

I would imagine it gets stricter every year due to this generally common opinion of Microsoft among these circles. Wish you all the best though, a Microsoft people trust would do good for the world.

The reality here is that no one will trust a pinky promise. Especially not from Microsoft. You’re fighting a good fight but it’s a losing battle no matter how locked down it feels from your POV. “Can we have access to X, but don’t worry, we

The conversation we’re having is about consistency only. That’s why I said “they aren’t examples of exceptional UI”. They just respect the fact that people have become experts in using their tools.

I wouldn’t say it’s exceptionally worse considering it’s free vs begging you for microtransactions. Gamification is easy enough on your own, get some ice cream! If you need accountability, ask a friend. You could alternatively fill up milli

A designer I worked with years ago had a great explanation for why consistency is important. It’s not about a limited colour palette or a careful selection of fonts no one will ever notice. Chasing the specifics makes horrible software. Som
