The rate at which AI is accelerating seems the same as other big inventions. Some examples: - Tim invented the WWW in 1989, but I'd took until around 2000 (10 years) to go to the w…

Tesla was THE company that started the EV-revolution, while VW was actively manipulating emission data. I don't like Elon and his politics, but I'm very grateful for Tesla to have …

I’m Belgium it was Dutroux. It changed everything and is a cross generational trauma that still has its effects.

Yes. There were no families before carriages… /s A carless society/city is way more family-oriented.

problem is that when you are really in deep, you are not able to make that phone call. It is good advice to always take someone with you. It is like saying: more experienced bikers…

For HTML, you can probably do the following: 𖢑ꚲ 𖢧𖤟𖤗𖢧

I did not mind this linearity in Half-Life, because the story was engaging. You wanted to know what happened next. And I found the enemies did had some advanced "AI" for that time;…

It’s about using the right tools for the job. FAANG and developer advocates made the web needlessly complex for most people. The over-engineered tools and frameworks became the “de…

Not so sure about that. You can easily write horrible code in React: Too complex, inefficient, and/or resource-intensive. If you don’t know the tools and have good theoretical prog…

Think of the trees! ;)

The European Union doesn't like when a file get too big and powerful. It needs to be broken apart in order to give smaller files a chance of success.

ShadowDOM, and by extension web components are great for providing an extended set of HTML ‘native’ components. Let’s say your company has multiple frontend SPAs with different tec…

With webcomponents you are pretty close to the “metal”. If you know how to write good vanilla JavaScript, you can take most of that knowledge into webcomponents. You only need to l…

I think the (interesting) output we see as the different UI is a side-effect of the actual research mentioned at the end of the video: how can we teach everyone how to do spatial p…

I don’t even think that saying stupid and shallow comments speaks to the person who said it. Don’t we all say stupid and shallow things every day? It takes serious effort to filter…

Why not? Isn’t it just a smart implementation of ligatures?

What’s killer about that? I order food once every 2 weeks, I like to browse the different options myself. Almost all the ‘killer’ AI functions are already here: smarter photo retou…

Multidisciplinary teams wont work either because inevitably power and politics come into play. I’ve seen it happen every so many times.

You do remember the dotcom bubble, right? :D Something can change the world, but still be a bubble. They are promising AGI, super intelligence or the singularity in less than 10 ye…

Counterpoint: no semantics is better than wrong semantics. If a screenreader thinks your layout is a (data)table, it makes your visually impaired users sad.

Most of our software is bland because it is about practicality and functionality. A UI should do a lot more things than to be expressive. Being expressive is very low on the list. …

@snowpid Maybe not completely annexed, but we did attack and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq.

The "Reconsider Travel" badge has nothing to do with the nature of the large majority of people in a country. They can be as warm and welcoming as they want. But it's about the ris…

I agree. I did not mean to say: “all life is meaningless “, but more that the green/ecological imagery of ‘mother nature’ that cares for you and needs caring was changed for me. Li…

That’s a nihilist statement though. :p I was just outing my experience, no need to get that riled up.
