A few people have written about modifying their work contracts. Can you share the contract template you used instead? Can you explain how you negotiated the change? Edit: maybe engineers can team up on this so things start to change?

I suspect it was related to the loss of Scott Forestall. It’s notable that “metaphor” dropped from the top iOS design principle to near the bottom. And the backlash against “skeuomorphic design” was a popular narrative in the tech press aro

Any thoughts on voxels? Write ups I’ve read on the concepts behind voxels have been pretty interesting. The idea of building up objects from grains of sand with material properties (instead of shaders, textures, bump maps, bounding boxes, e

How much longer will we allow our freedoms to be eroded? People were flying without any photo ID until just a few years ago (except internationally). We’ve given up so much freedom & so much of what made air travel fun in exchange for s

You’re asking great questions. Keep fighting for the time you need to answer them. I’m 13 years out of college & my perception is companies care more about stakeholder research than they did when I started working, so I think the overal

The point of statistics isn’t to attain absolute certainty or for the statistical test to make a decision. The point is for people to make a decision using probability as one available decision aid, and then deciding whether to place a bet.
