Hiding the element doesn't work in more than half the cases. Some plug-ins randomize the modal ids. Others hide the page scollbar unless you interact with the modal.

> This is because there is no single implementation of modal windows. Many are custom-built. Actually, 90% are from the same few plugins. Unfortunately, those plugs are designed with dark patterns to prevent Element Hiding Helper or El

When did they post this? Is it old? It mentions OS 10.7, so I'd guess it's been in place for a few years now.

The WP article title is "David Gelernter, fiercely anti-intellectual computer scientist, is being eyed for Trump’s science adviser." Your WE article says "Gelernter is also a fierce critic of academia." Gelernter is self

Twitter is very useful for professional announcements in a very informal setting. I use Twitter to follow colleagues and artists, not friends nor celebrities. I think there's something TV-ish that's possible, but Netflix level? Th

I think this is what we all want, but I'm skeptical developers will return when it's implemented. Maybe if they focused on young devs? Give them an alternative to Snapchat?

It's clickbait to get an Xcode vs AS flame war going, aka Mac vs PC for today.

Only the "current" Mac Mini has upgrade restrictions. But the prior model has almost identical specs and can be upgraded.

They should add an exception or * for Ghostbusters. It was filmed in 2D but the IMAX version had 3D elements extending out of the cinematic letterbox. http://www.polygon.com/2016/7/15/12200134/ghostbuster

According to Gruber / Apple it's a max of three prompts per year, regardless of version. https://twitter.com/gruber/status/824022727870861316 [UPDATE] There's also an App Store setting so you can di

3D Blu-ray on a decent TV (i.e. Samsung plasma) is far and above better than any theater. It got me buying 3D blu-ray discs (instead of doing streaming). I've done 3D movie nights at my house with friends. Of course there's that o

Ugh - did anyone take a look at his portfolio? He designs for video games so of course the specs are exaggerated. He did something fun and most of HN is railing on him. The same criticisms ought to be said here - if you're going to cri

It's pretty clear you and he are at opposite ends of the design spectrum. He's an experienced conceptual designer perfect for video games, i.e. Art Center. You're more academic and instructional, i.e. MIT. Both are legit. PS

It's not really a theory, though. These are all well known facts, which is why there's already buzzwords for them (i.e. the ones you were using). A good tech blog post would show how you're unique, how you're innovating,

Sorry - originally it was Creative Suite (2003 - 2013). Adobe used a new product name when they switched to subscriptions.

by radley 10y ago
The industry term is "creative", i.e. this app is for creatives. Author is generally applied for written material.

Creation Suite is the Adobe brand for their suite of creative software tools.

by radley 10y ago
Well, first it's not a "suite" - it's just an app. In the industry we call it a Rich Media Editor. If "rich media" seems too old school, you can call it an HTML5 Media Toolkit.

Maybe it's a minor security feature. Unzipping something in the background might be something they want to always call attention to.

No, it's about showing it long enough so you know what the dialog is and what it's doing. If a dialog popped up for the brief amount of time it actually takes to unzip, it might freak out users: "huh? WTF was that??"

The most successful solution I found was Carb Nite. I dropped 30 lbs in 3 months and kept 20 off permanently. Ferris' 4-Hour Body Slow Carb diet seems to be v2.0 of that diet. I still want to lose another 20 and that's been tough.

Strawman / slippery slope. This isn't an ISP blocking free speech, discriminating against minorities, nor assaulting anyone. It's an ad network that stopped doing business with a company that violated policies.

It wasn't a matter of privilege, it was simply a matter of timing. 2014 was a year of "why are there so few women in..." including the DJ world. She saw an opportunity and knew an agent. Not really that tough to figure out an

She may have seen it as an "OMG art project" but Tobias surly saw it as "How to Make a Popstar 101". She also happened to ride the wave of "we need more female DJs" (Jan 2014): http://thump.vice.com&
