This is just math, so I will continue to elaborate. Mouse clicks and distance are two of the most basic metrics. And straight forward. So why wouldn't you optimize there? But what you're referring to is that which can offset and a

This contradicts the premise. > hard (and therefore slow) to use. You assess the use case, as in each case the user goes from want to finish. If it's slow and hard, you fix that. 1 click is the fastest. An obvious button that does e

Elaborating on details, yes. Slowing it down, no. If the user is confused as to what happened, you haven't communicated what happened. If you need them to stop and read it, let that notice appear instantly with a next button. And nothi

I disagree. That isn't even an interface. And this is the source of so much trouble. The "developer knows best" mindset. The developer will never know exactly when I want coffee, yet so many programs assume my coffee needs ar

The perfect UX is one obvious button that obviously does exactly what you need, that presents itself exactly when you need it. And all you need is to be able to read it.

That won't work, because most copyrighted material is worthless, and we can't predict what retains value in the long run, and most don't. Mickey is a rare example of value surviving to the point it was worth (in dollars) prot

If you don't believe in the work, it's just a job. Most of us have a job, which really is just low hanging money. Belief can be motivation to start something, but this wasn't something he started, either.

Trying to get off dropbox. 1) Anyone try Backblaze for photo backups? Is it worth trying? 2) Why is immich photo and video only? 3) Why docker? I miss the days of just files and scripts on any host.

Not to get too philosophical, but does profanity measure the children in the room, or does it measure the adults in the room? Schrodinger's chat (room).

Especially another facebook app. Those in the category of "app only heavy social media consumers" have been addicted to tiktok for too long already. Any offering less than that by the place they left is not good enough. And those

Ya, or any server side scripting language. You just want the ability to refactor your site, as in, name, save, and load data and code blocks. And if html allowed inserting html as it does css or js from external files, even that would be mo

It's hard to imagine the economy of your hobby and all else that goes into any business. Taxes, marketing, customer service, and if you hire people, management. Very few enjoy these activities, let alone excel at them, especially with

His point is: Don't wait for a vision as a reason to practice. Practice does not require vision. With practice comes vision. A highly pragmatic philosophy for artists.

They've marginalized "the offering" as a hybrid office/consumer product with a fragmented vision, as shown by their uninspired rebranding/marketing efforts. Google Cloud could just create their project folders in dr

Loneliness has nothing to do with alone-ness. Most of us are perfectly happy alone, being left alone, and may even prefer it. Similarly, depression has nothing to do with alone-ness. It's being perfectly sad. Depression is the only cau

Hate groups are the problem, not how they express themselves online. I find it odd that it's perfectly legal to be a group with illegal intent. That's the only loophole that needs to be closed. If a group is deemed to have "i

Just adding to this for the record since this was silently downvoted. Most businesses make decisions based on $$. And they are happy to buy anything that helps their business. It's the cost of doing business. Think shopify apps. Most o
