Hi, UX designer here. First, when you say UI/UX, that's a red flag to me that you don't understand the kind of design you need. There isn't a "UI/UX design community." They're two different specialt

I look forward to digging into this deeper, and have a couple of questions. How much contact with related community and professional organizations have you had, both with regards to this content and also the conference? In Austin, we have

I put city and state. For local jobs, it's important to say you're local (for whatever definition of local is). For remote jobs, it's important so people know what time zone you're in. I think a full home address sends

Hi! I run AustinUX.org, which is something similar for UX events in Austin, TX, and I've talked with Ross Karchner, who used to run DC Tech Events[1] using his own "eventgrinder" software, as well as other people/groups

Apple Pay would let any app do this. The merchant could send a push notification to their own app on your phone, which would get the transaction details and request payment via Apple Pay, which would have already been set up on your phone.

Hi, designer here, and also someone whose friends have done a bunch of Kickstarters, and have written about their experiences. I see two core issues, and neither are readily fixable. First, "I've received nothing but positive feed

Nine months? Three or four companies in the particular space I was in? I talked with both the tech owners and the company owners in all but one case. I had just come off of three years building a developer relations platform that drove on

Jesse James Garrett gave the closing plenary at IA Summit 2009, and he asked a question of the audience, name some great designers. And the audience shouted out names. Then he asked, name the works of design they are considered great for. A

Stephen Few's book, Information Dashboard Design, is about the design industry bible on the subject. (His other books are supposedly good, too.) As many of the other comments in here have noted, the design of a good dashboard is often

They're usually meant to be dedicated workspaces for freelancers, contractors, remote workers, etc. If you're looking for something more casual, there's "Jelly" meetups, where everyone meets at a shared space like a

Hackerspaces and makerspaces are usually characterized by having tools available, often up to light industrial tooling like large C&Cs, welding equipment, an auto bay, etc. Three of the four spaces listed here seem to be active: http:&

You might consider being a little more specific about the provenance of these photographs, that you took them all and are actively deeding them to the public domain, so people don't assume you're just taking images from elsewhere

The NY Times did this using Amazon Web Services to process all their TIFFs (into PDFs, but thumbnailing isn't really different). They uploaded 4TB of data to Amazon over the internet, but today you could just send them a hard drive an

But that only helps you. That doesn't help anyone else who needs that old reference. Saving things in a way that those backups can be shared and distributed, like WARC files donated to the Internet Archive, can help ensure that when y

Absolutely. We know how to archive paper pretty well. Your box of magazines will last another 20 years in your garage. Maybe twice that in a climate-controlled vault. But they're still made of cheap paper, and will eventually decomp

Because it does someone no good if you have a copy of an old page they're looking for, and they have no way to find you, and you have no way of providing it to them. Centralized services like libraries and archives provide that. You a

You have to save the WARC-required stuff on the initial capture, because it's a dump of the client/server conversation as well as the content. But thanks for thinking about it! Here are some previous comments with links that migh

Hi! Same thing here as with the other examples mentioned in this thread: this only helps you. If you save a page but someone else needs it, they're out of luck. But, if, in addition to making you a private, encrypted archive, they also

The only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down. You can be trained as an archivist. You can get a Masters and a PhD in archival practice. There are industry-standard procedures and codes of ethics. There'

Hi! You could ask Stache, too, to do full WARC captures, which you could then donate to the Internet Archive and have them be included in the Wayback Machine, which would benefit everyone.

That helps you, but that doesn't help everyone else. Consider asking Zotero to do full WARC captures, which you could then donate to the Internet Archive and have them be included in the Wayback Machine, which would benefit everyone.

Hi, author here. You're right, of course. Of the 77 210 OK But Gone URLs, 35 had copies in the archive (more had copies than that, but only 35 were from the right year), but 5 (three domains total) had been blocked by a later robots.t
