Yeah, some of their takeaways seem overly stifling. This sounds like it wasn't a case of a broken process or missing ingredients. All the tools to prevent it were there (feature flags, null handling, basic static analysis tools). So

Somehow I've always considered controls that float over your content to be a bit of a UI design cop-out. They often get slapped on top willy-nilly, and wind up blocking something below - either from view, or from interaction with anoth

This point is so salient. It's all just candy. Neat eye candy, granted. I'm glad so much emphasis went into legibility, and that accessibility variants are baked in. But I'd still love a modern device with very basic UI. Pa

Poignant video. The cameraperson or another bystander should have called 911, asked for ambulance (and maybe fire dept) to attend. In addition to medical care, that would at least get some higher degree of paperwork going from an accountab

I hate to sound like a jerk, but this comes across like a whining four year old. (The repetitiveness, pleading, shifting appeals, awkward negotiation attempts...) What's stopping the GrapheneOS team from negotiating similar access con

What's with the AI-generated "Key Takeaways" crap on the right column of that page? No thanks, the content is short enough I can easily skim it on my own.

A critical step in the researchers' protocol is reacting molten titanium with yttrium metal and yttrium trifluoride or a similar substance... A limitation of this work is that the resulting de-oxygenated titanium contains yttrium, up

I think this also favours large, established tech companies that are less sensitive to the costs being smeared across a few years than would most capital-hungry startups. I wonder if some influential ones pushed for the change figuring it w

I'm confused. The requirement to amortize software engineer expenses was introduced in Trump's first term, but now he wants to revoke it in OBBBA? But only for 5 years?

This highlights a significance today's cloud-addicted generation seems to completely ignore: who has control of your data. I'm not talking about contractual control (which is largely mooted as pretty much every cloud service has a

Without the Axis-branded SD card, they axe or deteriorate access to the cameras from mobile devices. Namely, you cannot add the camera to a site for access from Camera Station Edge. This applies to both the desktop and mobile flavors of th

I gather Google is a great believer in A/B testing. Yet I consistently find compounding annoyances in their UI's. I suspect they'll jump on this AI bandwagon and that I'll hate the result. By contrast, I loved the UI
