UIs are not hard! They tale some skills and a certain personality type, which most of us are or can become, but the bottom line is to test out various ideas and listen to your users. Over 50% of it is simply that. UIs are NOT hard!

Personal view here, articles like this talking about emotions etc. are a UI guy trying to justify themselves by suggesting there is some greater depth. I don't really do much by way of UIs but one thing I am certain of is users use u

This is the kind of post that appears when drugs come up. It's personal opinion, without any facts, strong on unfounded typically assertions and word-weaseling ("..when an objective observer...") and ignores what has been don

The first link is very reminiscent to a CD of native australian aborigine music, even quite similar at some points. I'd like to know if the inuit or aboriginal people see music in the same way we do, as an entertainment[0], or somethin

So it does. Not if you open a new tab, but for a new window (just tried it on palemoon, an FX fork). As I never open a new window, never hit it. Do a bug report I suggest.

... which has to be a better way of doing it (comments + regexps in digestible chunks) than having a rather wordy library.

by throwaway_pdp09 6y ago
Because building in a parser is inappropriate; it isn't generally worth it. You use a separate tool or framework, you don't build it into a language.

That's really stretching the concept of a DSL, but at an extreme it can be seen that way. What you're really describing is hierarchical structure.

by throwaway_pdp09 6y ago
Well, this is (one of my) areas so here goes. DSLs are a concept, not an implementation. As implemented they can vary from chained procedure calls to actual sub languages with lexers and parsers (and I tend to consider the latter to be &

Could you clear something up for me, do you mean DSLs generally, or DSLs for tax codes specifically? TIA

Now we're talking. They need to make cash to survive but beyond that they get greedy, right? So, if agreed on that, we can now talk about blocking ads or cancelling subscriptions where they abuse the user, but perhaps still pay those p

If you look at the website mentioned before at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25157722 , where are the ads? How long can the guy keep putting out high quality stuff without pay do you think. And what about OSS devs who

All I hear is "I want free stuff". I'm not saying you should bleed yourself dry for them, would a couple of pounds/dollars a month (when you have paid work) to put rent-seeking ad men out of a job and to support OSS soft
