Yep! I encountered both of these within a few weeks of each other, after having come to a similar (but way less educated and rigorous) conclusion to Prof England's.
>If a stranger in my house at a party drew a swastika on my wall, I'm kicking him out. //

So you say "draw what you like on the walls" and then punish a follow of Vishnu because you associate the symbol differently to them. Don't invite strangers to draw stuff on your walls then?

>If someone doesn't want to follow the social norms of the community they're in //

Such as free speech. Don't give people freedom of speech and then chastise them for speaking freely. If they act immorally, or unethically, or illegally, sure ... but don't punish people for art alone.
You really underestimate the amount of time it takes to practice and do adequate UX design; unless you spend 10,000 hours doing design, you are going to suck at it, and most of the jack of all trades designers devs I met have really been mediocre at both. "Designers should code" is as fallacious as "accountants should be lawyers". Specialization has been the direction of human civilization ever since the neolithic revolution allowed us to have enough food surplus to move into cities.

Designers should definitely work with devs, if they are surprised their designs can't be implemented in the end, then that organization is REALLY dysfunctional.

We definitely need better UI development tools, but this is orthogonal to UX design, much of which doesn't even involve the aesthetics of the UI anyways.

I agree with the first part! The second part can never happen since there is no process that can handle the complexity of the real world. There might be patterns that could be found generic enough, but not a deconstructed atlas of everything you need to know. It's a process of discovery at best.

To deliver a really great user experience, it's really important to not just look at the interfaces between the customer and your products, but instead try to figure out the "flows" and processes that leads to that the customer uses your platform or app.

In some domains, you will need an awful lot of domain knowledge, paired with UI design expertise, modeling and development skills to do just that.

Typically, it's very hard to find all this in one single person, so excelling in teamwork is always a good trait.

I like your suggestion. Yes, separate the job of professor from that of administrator; enhance research independence at all levels by reducing administrative power over the professor from above, and reducing the administrative role of the professor on those below them.

I note that, if they have the authority to supervise employees and allocate budgets, then under many systems this administrator would be called a manager rather than an assistant (which is appropriate b/c this person would be a peer, rather than a subordinate, of the professor). I imagine that the admin would administer the budgets that were formerly administered by the professor, and other researchers who work in the lab would report to the admin rather than to the professor (the admin would consult with the professor over hiring/firing but would not be required to take their advice). The independence of the individual professor is enhanced but, due to the loss of full control of the budget and hiring/firing, their power over other non-professor-level researchers in the lab is decreased.

Absolutely this. And UX is increasingly about creating dark patterns that manipulate users for profit.

So my prediction is that because of financial feedback loops Dark UX will become more and more of a problem - which means the digital world will become more and more hostile, frustrating, intrusive, and abrasive, and less and less rewarding for users.

GitLab is much younger (and at the time smaller) than I thought. I contracted for a major bank in 2015, and they were in the process of switching from Stash to GitLab. This sounds like GitLab only just existed at that time. Sounds crazy for a major bank to switch at such an early stage.

Of course it being open source does help a lot.
Either. :)

If you setup a source block, you can use TRAMP to actually execute the command in a source block on a remote machine. So:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :dir /user@remotemachine.com:~/remotedir
ls
#+END_SRC

The above will run ls on "remotemachine.com" and put the results in an output block below it.

Edit: Meant to add that you can do the same with docker. Just use "/docker:dockerId:" as the dir, and it will execute in a docker instance locally. Using multihop addresses, this can get extreme.

Saying that a government shouldn't have a space program because people are starving, without first mentioning every other piece of inefficient spending, seems misleading.

And yeah, while it does seem like they could maybe get similar benefits from the private cubesat's mentioned, there are good reasons for developing countries to work towards domestic technology instead of relying on imports.

> And your position is not that logs are useless ("turn on logs for that system until you've solved the problem"), but that retaining logs are useless - quite a significant difference between the two.

That's an important distinction, one that I agree with, and I should make clearer.

Logs do have a purpose, but I'm not sure that retaining them does.

Sure, for a very small shop, throw them on a disk, use awk, sed, grep, and perl to look through them, and call it a day. But once you get to the point of "spinning up a cluster of log servers" or something like it, I'd say you're probably better off investing in monitoring instead.

I can't speak the the edge stuff they are doing, but the routing closer to the data centers was unique to the way they do things. In a way that wouldn't​ be generally usable.

Not every application can put enough context in the request to make it work the way Google is working. Sort of app request context based routing.

Also, they have the advantage that a lot of their apps are like search, in that no consistency is needed. Five consecutive searches for "some query" can return different results each time, with no adverse effects.

That creates a lot of flexibility in routing requests to destinations.

Yes, all actions have a cost associated with it.

You can use it in different ways: like you describe: have some agents prefer certain actions, different from the preferences of other agents.

Error in Case 4: There is no error here, only madness.

Then give me madness. The problem is that spreadsheets are one of the most natural interfaces for data that we humans have, and even with Microsoft and Google's efforts included, current spreadsheets on a website (SoW) suck.

So let's say the y-axis is importance of function and the x-axis is compelling implementation --> voila! Right there, plotted on the graph you can see that this is something that needs to be worked on.

I understand your reasoning: you've created a spreadsheet-styled labeled grid in no time and you're pumping your fist, only to find out later that it this is way less than 1% of the effort you will eventually have to dole out to make a basic, respectable spreadsheet. The landscape is littered with 1% efforts that look good until you start working with it.

My point, though, is that this area is too important to not try harder, to not see more true attempts.
When you get a new Windows computer first thing to do is give it clean install using an image direct from MS (remove all the partitions), which gives you a nice clean start. Don't even try to uninstall crap the OEMs have installed, there will always be stuff you've missed.
Advertising companies do not act in the interests of consumers. We're not their customers. Any benefit is totally coincidental. The following would be helpful to us:

- "These products from a different company look more like what you're after"

- "Based on your income/debt/bills, you probably shouldn't buy this"

- "A better version of this will be out in a few days, just wait!"

- "This product explodes, buy this other one instead"

Of course advertising companies will never do this, because it would be acting against the interest of their actual customers (companies). Can I even hire an ad firm to help me shop? The very idea sounds ridiculous. It's just not what advertising is for.

Advertising exists only to convince more people to buy goods and services. It
specifically employs devices to do this even if:

- the consumer doesn't want or need them

- the consumer can't afford them

- the consumer could get a better deal or product elsewhere

- the product is defective

Advertising is really good at reframing this stuff (your post is a pretty good example of it actually), but given these facts I don't know how to think of advertising in positive light.
Android already has a hardware back button (sometimes)... somebody should rog that up to get rid of pop ups in browsers.
Some of the mismanagement however was intentional (for example in Ukraine) and/or enforced to a criminal extent (thinking of China here). People died of starvation because their harvest was taken away in its entirety.
The problem is that it's not really flexible in its default state.

If you want to add a custom action to the instance view of one of your models you have to:

- write a view for your custom action

- override the generated urls for the model admin

- override the template(???) for the admin instance view to
show the action

Considering the Admin itself already has the styling in place to add more custom actions, the main issue is that no one has put in place enough infrastructure to make this easier for people.

> But again many of these loans are not just simple transactions in the marketplace, but rather subsidized social programs, where the government in promoting the program has a reasonable expectation that some part of this subsidy should fall to the borrower, and is reasonable frustrated when a provider whom they have hired tries to prevent this.

IF SO, that seems like a damning indictment of the government and the contracts they have drawn up then?

If you're trying to run some sort of soft touch social program where maximising the amount collected isn't your primary goal, then obvious the ONE thing you shouldn't do is then outsource managing it to a private company who gets paid based on their ability to maximise the account collected. Right? Given that's the one thing the government could do most likely to undermine their goals?

There's also this whole vibe of everyone needs to make a statement and change the world. It's what the hippies do (with license plates that say "BIODIESEL" on their truck, etc), and it's what the SV tech bros do ("we're changing the world with our illegal taxi app")
The questions is easily answered without getting sued or fired. Candidates are asked to describe projects they've worked on. If my question is out of bounds so is that one. After all a candidate might be sued by his employer for divulging too much about the company's internal knowledge.

I found this article confusing. It doesn't really say anything about what "Espresso" actually does, let alone how it does it.
You can construct a new Incompleteness Theorem for any more powerful formal system. To really get syntactic completeness, you would need an infinite tower of Goedel Statements as axioms, where the truth of each one is a completely independent mathematical fact not reducible to any other axiom ever.

Effectively, syntactic completeness in logic is equivalent to the Halting Problem in computing, via bijective proofs.
The problem is that the web itself just doesn't have a standard realtime component. (other than Matrix, or possibly XMPP or Solid). Sure you can provide better HCI technology to expose the websites and webservices of today to users via VR/AR... but they end up just being disconnected silos; the equivalent of different tabs in a browser.

The thesis here is that you need some kind of fabric to weave these apps together if you want them to feel remotely immersive in AR/VR. Rather than each app being its own island, surely you want the ability to move your avatar between them, and collaborate and communicate between services and apps, and have some kind of common virtual physical metaphor that you can literally build on as a platform - whether that's with bots or services or whatever. This is the thought experiment we're doing with the VR side of Matrix.
Blizzard worked with DeepMind to release a SC2 API recently, see here: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/sc2/topic/20751114921

I wonder if sociology has anything to say on this topic. My sense is that young tech workers flocking to coastal cities are voluntarily extending their adolescent years, in the same manner as many graduate students. For many young people, 10 years working in Silicon Valley is really a form of graduate school, equivalent in earning potential to a Ph.D. at a world-class university.

The big question: after you get your tech "graduate education", are you able to put down roots and create an adult life in these places, or does it make sense to move elsewhere?

A Story about Node.js and Azure WebApps – Bright Pixel
The previous article linked had about 20,000 words. It spoke a lot about various problems.

Let's look at the gun for example.

There's a small door that opens so the gun can fire. Apparently for stealth reasons. The opening door creates an aerodynamic disturbance and the plane yaws or does something else and the aim is off. So that has to be corrected in the flight software - the plane must countersteer with the tail surfaces when the door is opened. And for some reason it's been very slow to create these rules.

Now, let's assume the F-35 program is canceled. There's a few scenarios after that.

Maybe some non-stealthy aircraft can be created for ground support missions. They don't need such pesky doors. On the other end of the spectrum, maybe some stealthy pure air superiority fighters or strike craft can also be created that don't need guns at all.

Or then you decide that you need a gun on a stealthy aircraft and you need a door again (or then you design it differently, AFAIK the F-22 doesn't have such problems). Will it be easier this time? If you think it will, what will be different? Why does it take years and years to develop software for F-35? Why wouldn't it take years and years, and actually longer for these new aircraft?

The gun problems are probably not caused by the "commonality between different versions", that's always trotted out as "the fatal flaw in the program", as it only exists in one version of the aircraft.

There might be some underlying reasons why progress is slow and expensive. But I don't think many of them would be fixed by procuring just a new aircraft. Maybe the department of defense could buy from Northrop or Boeing... but I doubt the results would be that different with a roughly similar process.

I would likely look at radical software development methods (would still have to be safety conscious). There are things like Skunk Works, Faster Better Cheaper, Agile Manifesto... two out of these three are from the aerospace world.

They don't last forever because the small group of competent people will always turn into a huge mass of mediocre people governed by a mass of bureaucrats. That's just nature.

Swing is themeable, as has always been.

With some minimal effort, it's possible to do a nice looking GUI with fonts that not look like vomit, etc.

If Sun and Oracle had spent more than 5 minutes on packaging applications - why not in jxe-files for executable jars, as a simple start to avoid torturing your users - and using nice fonts - and why not a discrete and non-whiny non-bundlig autoupdating jre - they could actually have won on the desktop, when it still was relevant.
In 2012 I was interviewing at a startup and hanging out at their "office" (aka their apartment) and I was like: "oh hey Project Manager dude, what's that spreadsheet you have open?" "Oh it's our list of bugs". :]

When I'm just working with my favorite designer and my favorite tester, and it's just us three, it's a lot of fun to just pass post-it notes around.
Content, in terms of quality; and subsequently curation/censorship?

Otherwise, content falls into a specific set of mediums (text, images, video, sound), all of which are assumed on a modern platform and aren't worth reconsidering. Design and presentation, however, has infinite possibility.
>see the mind as computation over a formal system

Wow, is that what people actually think a "computational theory of mind" is? Look, just because every program can be trivially rewritten as some kind of formal proof system, doesn't mean that any given program meaningfully has the semantics of a formal proof system, let alone the mind.
I think the react-native style architecture is the way forward. Mainly, thinking of the UI as a state-machine, and managing that state from a cross-platform runtime.

The reality is every platform offers it's own encouraged design patterns and to create the best UX you need to maintain builds for each platform.

In the next 5 years I don't see JS being replaced as that cross-platform runtime, but maybe a transpiled strongly typed language could become defacto.
