I agree constraints can generate creativity, but is there evidence that constraints generate more of it? It seems like no. This is all difficult to quantify, but if I were to attempt to paraphrase history and try to quantify anyway, at leas

Curious, why do they describe her as a technocrat when her background is in law?

I don't think it's as complicated as you make it out to be. It's just adding to the "Do not disturb" option that's been there for ages. You can still use that indiscriminate DND option and ignore the rest. But

I greatly prefer the UX of Apple Maps for navigation, but the search is still bad compared to Google Maps. The verbal directions and UI are clearer IMO. Both have been equally bad at keeping directions up to date, though, but I live in a re

Interesting, when does Apple ask for a cc for age verification? I don't think I've come across that UI. Edit: Looks like it might be an EU thing?

Not showing the shortcut key for rename is definitely dumb. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was because of some silly reason like a high level designer at Apple thought it wouldn't match the cmd paradigm, and so would rather not

It goes both ways. I agree cmd click on the title is definitely less intuitive (hell, I just learned that now). If I were guiding a new user to macOS, I would instead show how to reveal the Path Bar on Finder which requires less memorizati

Generally speaking, macOS uses option or shift to modify existing commands. Hence cmd-c / cmd-(opt)-v. The paradigm is Copy -> Move or Duplicate. In Windows, it's Copy or Cut -> Paste. I don't mind this change from Win

I love the move to Face ID (pre-covid). I would accept Touch ID as a back up, but never as my primary. > Another UX problem: when I had a home button I could exit the app by testing it. Now I have to swipe up. But which way I swipe depen

Microsoft didn't really have a comparable App Store at the time, not to mention, Apple hadn't really made a comparable App Store for the Mac yet either. The iPhone app model was more analogous to the business model of gaming conso

I don’t think life can be distilled down to such a simple rule, especially when emotions run high. That’s why protection against mob rule is a thing. The “audience” that burned the women at Salem were likely entirely in the wrong. The autho

That's one way of interpreting it. I would venture that their public dabbling is indicative that that they do understand what it means to build a car, in the sense that car manufacturing shouldn't be underestimated. Going all-in o
