#122HEY LOOK, IT'S EVERY SUPERMARKET EVER. Huge automatic glass doors, shopping carts, aisles with stuff on shelves. So fucking creative.
A supermarket isn't designed to sell you on a product.

#123This conflates websites as a medium of art or personal expression vs websites as a medium of business communication. For the latter, I just want to get the point across quickly and painlessly. For the former, everyone is welcome to design whatever they want and consume as much time is required.
No, truly utilitarian websites look and function like this: https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm The template in the article is exact opposite. It conveys bloat, unoriginality and impedes efficient communication of information.
>> No, truly utilitarian websites look and function like this: https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm
To some extent, the majority determines what is utilitarian. Once Bootstrap achieved mass familiarity, it became utilitarian -- because almost everyone knows how to interact with it, the flow, the location of the information.
I checked out the site you shared -- it is indeed utilitarian...but it is also unfamiliar and hence to me, it makes it more difficult to find the required information at a glance.
while I agree with you in theory, As a business operator, i'd rather win the customer than win the academic debate.

#124This is now Tailwind. Purple everywhere!
https://proton.me/ Honestly, the only reason I am not using ProtonMail is because of the gaudi colors. There is a serious lack of Swiss-ness in their design; aesthetically and functionally.
I use protonmail for my personal user and haven't seen the homepage in while. Thanks for sharing this.

Supermarkets really need to get with the times. I mean, barcodes? Please. It's like they're not even trying.
I mean you joke, but a local sports good store has switched to using RFID tags for all their products. First time I went shopping after the change was rather startling. I dumped my purchases at the cash register and almost immediately the cashier read me the total.
I see no reason supermarkets couldn't do similar once this sort of tech gets prolific enough.

brb patenting higher dimensional barcodes / tensor barcodes Finally, we can use holograms for something mundane!
Pretty neat. You can encode 100 megabytes of data in a 4x4x4x4 cm tesseract, just need to apply an appropriate rotation around two of its axes and then you can extract the information as it intersects with 3d space.
That adds an additional temporal component to the scanning process which makes me hesitant.
However, the idea is ridiculous enough to greenlight.

I've been an active reader of HN for 5 years and this has to by far be the most wrong comment I have ever seen. Absolutely bone-headed.
Believe me, you're not even trying if that's the most bone-headed comment you've seen on here.
I mean, there are certainly bonehead comments. Any time Jan 6 comes up, conspiracy theorists will come out of the woodwork and say it was a false flag operation done by Antifa or the Deep State. Nearly anything supporting NFTs is bone-headed.
But this one was just baffling on another level. Like...what do you think supermarkets exist for? Just for people to look around and go "Neat! They put a whole chicken in a can!"?[0]
[0] There actually IS a supermarket like that though. It's called Omega Mart, and it's a tourist attraction in Las Vegas. They sell weird shit like a household cleaning spray called "Who Told You This Was Butter? Seriously, Don't Eat This", "Emergency Clams", and a laundry detergent called "Plausible Deniability". But even in the case of Omega Mart, you can still buy all the products.

I am not convinced. It does a far better job of organizing information in my opinion. Clear, concise, zero bullshit.
Ok. I'm sorry you aren't convinced. Here are some resources to educate yourself: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/visual-hierarchy-ux-definit... https://xd.adobe.com/ideas/process/information-architecture/... https://uxplanet.org/visual-hierarchy-and-ux-design-a-guide-... https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/visual-... https://guides.lib.wayne.edu/iaux It's a field of study that has research to back i…
Most of the UX studies are subjectivism dressed as objectivism.
The entire field is like nutrition or fitness, 90% of it is bogus and made up. None of these studies have proper controlled experiments while still trying to appear as authoritative.
No one takes a step back and realize that physical books are an interface and so is your kitchen. Photons hitting your eyeballs have no clue if it came from a computer monitor or the world around you. Organizing visual information is far deeper than these "UI/UX" experts.

Seriously . We're soooo over 1-d barcodes. Need to get a QR code on all that stuff. MMmmmmm.... Fiducial markers - that's hot
Just go full panopticon with a thousand cameras, so that the looters don't need to put in all that selfie effort.
That’s Amazon Go.
Re: Every Fucking Bootstrap Website Ever (2019)
#130This is amusing as a developer, but there's a reason why Bootstrap is still a thing. It works. And I don't even really like it, to be quite honest. Yet in terms of what it's designed to do, it succeeds. The public doesn't know what Bootstrap is and, with a couple tweaks to the colors and border radii, they won't even notice that they're on a site that's nearly identical to a millon+ other sites.
Does it work? I'm probably not the target audience, but I don't know who would actually read a bootstrap page. It's a few sentences worth of information bloated up in both page space and data.
The first and only thing I do is find the link in the top right that leads to a more traditional page that actually contains useful information (e.g., Docs, FAQs, About).
