To add to this good answer: in many cases you also don't want to overwhelm the users with frequent, unexpected changes, especially in 'enterprise' software. This is not so much a problem when you add a new feature like this t

You raise an important point. Society is the sum of all our individual actions and relations. For societal change to happen, each and everyone has to change. I cannot expect a 20% increase in salary every couple of years for myself and at t

Well put. No matter where you stand, you're always at the beginning of the next x years and the end of the past x years at the same time. 'Technological development' didn't begin with computers and won't end there.

Scroll down. It has the stories inlined on the page. I agree though that there's no real reason for it to lose the links to the comments or the vote/comment numbers.

Allow me to be skeptical of such a seemingly simple solution to a complex problem. Will we still be able to pay for this when the developing nations also adopt the first-world lifestyle? And how does it address landscapes wasted through nuc

No offense, but in light of the conclusions TFA describes, this sounds like a heroin addict just after getting a shot. Right now, everything is glorious, and the future looks bright, as long as I can just ignore the problems that exist when

I completely agree with your assessment of the problem. I'm using https://blendle.com , which offers a wide variety of publications with payment per article (usually something around 0.70 EUR, with the odd 1.99 EUR for artic

Your comment is a day old already, but I'll reply anyway. Can you elaborate what you mean with anxiety and distractedness? I've switched from developer to product owner, and then back to developer after two years. The problems I&#

What you're describing is called "faceted search". For that to work properly, two things are needed: The product data needs to be structured properly, so that you can actually find the attributes on each product variant. This

Kudos for your courage to make your great ambitions public from the start. 1. Does the site do any crawling on its own, or is the public index only fed from submissions? 2. It appears Umlaut/Unicode handling needs some work: When I sea

I'm assuming that practically everybody who is a developer on ssh-keygen knows about this. This is not a bug, right? It's basically bad usability, where the default is unsafe, and in order to make it safe, you have to know what yo

Honest question, how do you use iTunes match without iTunes? I thought you'd have to add music to your library first in order for it to be matched and available on mobile? My original comment was about iTunes on desktop, although the m

You're right about the incentive, but it's an insult to their users from a company that claims to care about UX so much. They should just be ashamed of it and try to get something better out as soon as they can. Sorry for ranting

The current problem, as mentioned in the article, is that signage for exceptional situations is made good enough for human drivers, but not for self-driving cars. When self-driving cars become more prevalent, couldn't we have standardi
