It's been a pipe dream for the last few years to have provisioning for my linux OS. I use Fedora across workstation & laptop(alongside windows dual boot). I've always liked the ide…

If a medical doctors classifies himself as world class and then posts articles about medical matters, then my expectation would be his world class-ness is evident. This guy's not w…

Well, I just looked through some of his commits on some of the repos. Not pretty good. Productive maybe but definitely not good. Commit messages are quite lacking he's hard coding …

That's interesting because I also picked up on that: "I am a world-class software developer living in New York’s East Village" and I just thought, hmm, here's this guy with ~5 year…

comment not related to this article but more of a comment on data-driven user interfaces in general. Building simplistic data driven UIs is (relatively) simple. However, the issues…

> You might visit dozens or hundreds of sites in a week, and it’s okay if some pages get lost in the shuffle My opinion is it's not okay. Why would it be?

Having better default notifications on Android would be a start. Everything off(bar calls & messages) unless turned on by user. every app now wants to notify you about everything..…

> but I could have just installed a Windows VM, used VNC, shared the VNC session and gotten the same thing I'm pretty sure there would be a noticeable(couple of seconds) lag betwee…

sure but it's slowly being eroded by the americanisation of companies & management styles. salaried workers being exempt from paid overtime in most European countries has turned in…

would this not be better every other day or 3rd day? Every day is just too much and maintaining quality is not sustainable unless there is a team working full time on this.

They might have. No definitive answer to that alternate timeline. If his name was France, his use of the domain would have been more defensible(depending on what he was doing with …

why? nissan.com is owned by Mr. Uzi Nissan so there is a reasonable defense that he has a justifiable claim to the domain. seems a lot more clear cut than this.

I'm guessing it's more so that there's a lot of traffic coming from that IP that it was flagged as a proxy.

> which was whether developers should be overriding designers and domain experts in matters of design in matters of UX...

Kind of a pedantic comment given the articles content... Do designers who design webpages/apps generally call themselves GUI designers?

A calendar is good for a 'free choice'. It can provide context(i.e. day of week) and can be overlayed with useful information(price for a date/availability etc. A calendar is not g…

UI: User Interface - the layout & visual look & feel of the page/components. UX: User Experience - the interactions of these pages/components by the user (incl. expected behaviour …

> it's a problem with bad designers doing the design No, it's not. A designer making that mistake isn't a signal s/he is a bad designer. I've worked with UI designers who range fro…

My point was more so targeted as UI designers who co-opt the UX role. If there's a dedicated UX person, then they're less likely as they'll be actively thinking about the UX. Whoev…

I also think it should be noted that compromise between designers & developers & business domain experts (seemingly now called 'product managers) could vastly simplify all this. Th…

bingo. people who have natural leadership qualities can facilitate without thinking it harms their worth. too often, unsuitable people will be thrust into a management/leadership t…

Funnily enough, I like Intercom's hiring process (as it appears on paper). But...my real life experience was quite different. Interviewed by a precocious child who didn't have inte…

well, if their catalog grows to 50% original content, here's hoping netflix adopt more UK/HBO style formats for tv shows. have a clear defined arc lasting ~3 seasons with 6/8 episo…
