Please do reconsider adding a visual indicator. Direct manipulation is a powerful UI technique and helps retain user focus. It could be something as simple as the mouse pointer changing when hovering over a component that can be drilled dow

Do you mean something like Netflix Vizceral[1]? The problem with using data is that there's usually too much of it, and at that point you do end up with a graph that only something like graphviz can layout. I know what you mean thoug

Can you share a sample of code, its equivalent sequence diagram, and how one is converted to the other please? I see that the samples have caller->method() style code, but how is this a sequence diagram? And where's the actual bidi

Always happy to see another language being born, especially one that's put together like this - assuming all of it works (have not yet downloaded or played with it, this is based on reading your website) That said: 1. This is bikeshedd

I think OP meant the part about showing up at the gym - that nobody but you can do. Once you're there, however, having an instructor helps you not having to think about what to do.

Multi-level visualization of a tech stack with perspectives and semantic zoom.Nice! Two questions: 1. How do you plan to handle the scale of real-world applications, ie really deep hierarchies, really long "call stacks"? 2. Will y

I dont know why you're being downvoted, since the core of your idea is valid from a usability perspective. F0-X,think about the way Google Maps (or any other map app for that matter) "corrects" you vs other programs/apps

The vast majority of users will forever be beginners - they'll learn a few techniques and wont bother with the rest - simply because that's not the only thing they do. For such users, a canned, ready-to-understand UI that looks

Maybe some people actually like a graphical UI that does not require learning arcane syntax or keyboard shortcuts, provides a passing simile to actual paper and allows them to be productive (if not proficient)? As for "anything signifi

Yes, I was heading in that direction, while having misgivings about using terms like area. The advantage is that its a familiar term, the disadvantage is that its really not the same physics (if there is one to be found). Thanks for the lin

Weekend reading material found, thanks! While not as well-thought out and presented, I've been working on a similar project for the past 6-8 years. I called it the "Grand unified theory of software" (after its physical equiva

I do quite a few interviews and find that its easier to record exactly what was said mechanically because at another level, I'm also understanding and responding to it. This way, I keep a record of what happened for later without much

I dont know about Gregg, but in Pitman shorthand, the position of the consonant's outline (as the symbol is called) relative to the line dictates its associated vowel. Above the the line is "ah", on the line is "eh"

The article got the numbers wrong, but that course was especially active when I took it, and I was taking it the second time it was offered. Still the best course in the OMSCS program that I've taken. Very lively, helpful and deep disc

IIRC there was nothing specific to java or python, except for using opencv for the last exercise to visually solve ravens matrices. You could do the same with nodejs, I'd presume. It might be easier too, considering most of the code in

Thanks for the response. This is the confusing part for me: I've been talking in terms of Feature toggles as described by Martin Fowler: http://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html , but it looks like LD

So how exactly does launchdarkly help with feature flags becoming a junk drawer/tech debt? I can see how the intuitive ui would help in general, but what I was really expecting to see was: * A way to manage dependent feature flags, bec

Thanks for this well thought out response. [4] is the killer clearly. My naive response as I read yours was: "Well, just have two rates, the medicare one and the regular one". But if laws prevent that...well then that's playe

This is true. The big "chain" hospitals do have pushy tactics, doctors with lab prescription quotas etc. Similarly, but at the other end of the spectrum, there are hospitals in smaller towns that mistreat you or send you off with

I know the article and the discussion is about access to drugs, but I must call out that part of the success of medical tourism in India is the lack of stranglehold control over medical care by insurance companies. In India, I can: - Get an

Will do. And yes, I did read your rationale. The intent is not bad, the names probably are.

Things I really liked: + recording runs as tests + one library for all layers of abstraction + building in assembler to avoid the big runtime. + using literate programming techniques to manage coding in assembly. + scenario, "screen-sh

TPF, if you're one of the 3-4k people worldwide who still know it, pays very well. Yes, they will be small teams, but in the largest travel companies. Disclaimer: I could be wrong about the number above, but afaik its in the ballpark.

Thanks for this link. I was going to say that graphviz covers it, but blockdiag is much simpler (and with extra features)

dont think that will work - that's an aspirational email address that i hope to setup one day (you see how far the rabbit hole of procrastination goes :)). edit: followed you on twitter. follow me back and i can pm you my email.

Sure. just followed you on github if that's sufficient. i'm not much of a social media person, so let me know if you want to connect via email. btw, another project idea of mine is to create a stream-of-consciousness editor: you c

To counter this, I actually wrote a "Dont break the chain" app[1] that pulled contributions from all my local projects (since i have some that are not yet on github, some on bitbucket, etc) The idea was that I'd be happy if I

Two reasons: UX and intent UX: My next comment usually involves looking at my previous ones and keeping that flow. sometimes my journal has todos that i'm tracking; things like that.So having it all in one place is useful and the git l
