A whole lot of us will be mentally impaired sooner or later. Our experience with software when that happens is sad for everyone but bad UI designers. For them, it’s justice.
… lack of empathy? Where?
> Now older and wiser, candidly a lot of folks would be well served by default blue links, og html submit buttons and tables for layouts. A fair bit of modern UI is complete trash: it's the product of a designer and a…
Same. “Oh, it’s just… the obvious thing.”
You’ve just made a map of rich and poor areas with extra steps. Which is effective. If you’re a parent trying to decide which schools you want your kids in, maps of where the money is and maps of school rankings are…
Yeah, sixth film credit… but the second one for which her character had a name. And that other film appears to have had a box office under $1.4m, with a collection of basically nobody notable attached, including the…
Shrug Google’s router thinks I have it. And it’s on by default.
People’d find it outrageous if beanie baby collectors were sacrificing 2% of US food production on altars to their beanie babies, because doing so made the beanie babies more valuable to other collectors. Even if some…
The typical behavior is that DNS returns an IPv6 address, then whatever-it-is sits there until a timeout, because it’s simply not being routed. I’ve not investigated further because turning off IPv6 fixes the problem…
> the next ouch-hot-coffee-in-paper-cup wacko Nitpick, but this specific example, despite its place in pop culture, wasn't a case of a lawsuit-happy wacko. McDonalds screwed up, after being warned they were screwing up…
Yeah, IPv6 is shut off on my Google Fiber router. Stuff on the Internet breaks when it’s on (last tested three or so months back when they sent me a new router). When we first got Fiber, years ago, Amazon’s store was…
The point is to get people in who'll spend money. Governments don't usually create visa programs to be nice—they do it for some benefit.
The big question for us to be able to figure anything out based on this: what did that chart look like in other years? Healthcare and government are enormous slices of the economy. I'd expect them to be at or near the…
For one thing, they sounded like absolute shit even compared to digital landlines.
1) Kids? You mean only high schoolers, right? I lived that time period and can't imagine any kid who didn't drive having a cell phone, then. 2) I graduated in the early '00s and I think maybe 5% of the kids in my…
I’ve only recently encountered airflow for the first time, and have been surprised at how half-baked it is for being damn near the industry standard (as far as open source, anyway). And it was a lot worse until…
Hard concur. When something might look wrong or misleading to a future reader is exactly the time to comment.
Pictures of naked kids aren’t necessarily illegal, or we’d be sending nearly every parent to prison (to take one example). Besides, if it worked like that, training on anything under copyright would have a similar…
If the volume of novel images shot up 10x right after these tools started becoming accessible, that’d let you make a good guess that most of it’s not real.
How’d the BeOS scheduler work? Every desktop OS should just copy that. It felt like magic. Only thing I’ve seen since that even comes close is iOS, and it cheats by killing programs left and right (and has lost a little…
IMO the case for something like IPFS gets worse and worse the larger proportion of clients are on battery. This makes it a really poor choice for the modern, public Web, where a whole lot of traffic comes from mobile…
"Factory worker" is more like "farm hand". It would be weird for a farm owner to give that answer, when asked what their job is.
Looks around desk at non-Apple monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB hub, and cables Yeah, uh, they definitely always do that. It "wouldn't be them" to ever not. (Hell, the monitor even supports True Tone—and it didn't at…
I doubt making the windows draw is what’s taking them time to get right.
Its wireless operation seems to depend on Hand Off in some capacity. Most companies probably wouldn’t want to grant a personal device access to that on a work laptop, and I bet there are some thorny questions about what…
