I find it strange that when people defend so called “race science” today a common argument seems to be along the lines of “this is correct because some people have negative emotional response to something”. While having…
Different moral considerations sometimes come in conflict forcing you to choose between different compromises. Avoiding harm is a moral principle I'm sure many share and there are cases where this conflicts with being…
My bet is the licensing stuff which can make it difficult/expensive to make proprietary apps with it. (In practice, I know the picture is a bit complicated.) Also, personally, while QML probably is the nicest…
Web != internet. HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc are web technologies. TCP/IP (among other things) are internet technologies. Web tech builds upon internet tech.
TypeScript's complexity comes from trying to model typical JavaScript patterns using a compile-time type system. It turns out trying to model a dynamic language's typical usage at compile-time is lead to some…
One problem with banning plastic straws as well is that many disabled people are dependent on them to be able to drink. AFAIK the alternatives (other kinds of straws) don't work well.
> I always thought this was communism Communism can be slightly confusing to talk about as it describes both a specific kind of society, ideology/ideologies and a kind of state. It's certainly one kind of socialism.…
Socialism means that the workplace are owned and controlled by the workers. You can still have a marketplace of such workplaces. There are forms of socialism that do include a free market (i.e. left-wing market…
It's complicated. We are also known for being some of the most conformist cultures in the world.
According to John Sculley’s in the book Points of View a tribute to Alan Kay, Apple invested in Cray hardware in order to simulate what the computing power of a desktop 10 years ahead would be and what kind of…
Anybody used it compiled to JavaScript? What’s your experience? How does it compare to TypeScript?
While this talk could be said to be a talk where he points out problems but don’t show solutions. Anyway he has a talk here which at least show some more recent examples of what he considers a better way: Is it really…
I think Oculus Rift i combination with something like Leap could lead the way for useful 3D-interfaces. I don’t like the term VR reality. To me it’s the skeuomorphism of the 3D-world. Instead of trying to simulate the…
Talking about “true” feminism is almost meaningless (or at least very imprecise). There are several strands of feminism. Radical feminism in particular tend to have a complete disregard for men’s issues, but my…
I think Adobe have slowly killed Fireworks for years by slowly letting it languish (as opposed to the swift axe that cut Freehand).
I’m always annoyed when Norway is called socialist. It’s social democracy (which I think could be called socialst-capialist democracy). I think the same applies to many european countries.
Rasmus is also behind the original design of Spotify interaction design, branding and more. He is one of the most talented designers I know about, this is really good news for Dropbox!
Movist has a “navigation mode” that works well as a simple Front Row replacement.
I strongly disagree that reversibility is a small feature. Whenever Plugging the chargers to new iOS devices is effortless the same way as headphones jacks. Non-symmetrical connectors are an affront to usability.
Really cool. Does something similar exist for Ruby?
I disagree, there is a lot of design that still feels quite modern, especially within furniture (Dieter Ram’s famous shelving system holds up quite well for instance). If you go for a timeless style it’s usually the…
Looks really interesting. I’ll definitely consider using this. Seems great for collaboration. Idea: integrate something like this with a version control system like Git(hub)?
“Engineers shouldn't think about design.” In my experience engineers who think a little bit about design work better with designers than those who don’t.
AFAIK it was only a part of that was moved to Scala. The web interface is still written in Ruby. More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter#Technology
It depends on the target audience. I agree that there should always be some difference between non-visited and visited links. Also, if your website’s main audience is Joe User I guess having it in a color (if you play…
