There does seem to be a few brutalist articles knocking around lately but I think it'll stay a niche. Most designers are actually pretty lazy (or just prone to following trends, like other professions?) and would be happy to follow any good design docs (Material Design etc) then apply their own interpretation. But with brutalist UI, since it's usually accompanied by a sort of shock factor, it requires a bit more ingenuity than just choosing a unique colour palette. It also tends to be hit-or-miss, and that's risky.

There's some noise about creating the next interface for flat screens and VR/AR (Microsoft again) which as long as VR isn't mainstream, I think it'll be more of a play (and fad.)

I also think that the ideal UI doc (may not be the next trend) combine skeuomorphism and flat while leaving plenty of space for designers to express their own ingenuity through content. At this moment, you can feel UI dictating how the content should be created and organised; all those one-scroll container webpages and humble-braggy profiles bore me to death.

But the best UI takes a back seat while content is the main performer, OR, at the very least there is a variable organic component - Google's doodly homepage fits the latter actually. This sounds so stupidly obvious to point out, but I feel that too much effort is being spent on innovating UI than the content itself. Content is far more exciting and challenging! Storytelling is often done in one medium, but what if you use several, one for each small part of the experience? What if you focus on creating multiple micro experiences? (Not necessarily animated micro-interactions.) That for me is the real task of UX designers - not just organise flow but how best to present content as a memorable story.
Yes of course 'urgent care' exists outside the US (assuming that you mean A&E).

One of the most baffling things about this whole debate is the assumption by some Americans that socialised medicine is somehow lacking. It really isn't. It's just better and cheaper.

I'd hire them as PA's and customer support tbf, making sure I'd get the main stake (at least 51%) of the company. But you'd need an independent third party (like a lawyer) to make sure they don't screw you over, unfortunately. Make sure they work for you, not with.
All healthcare involves "rationing"; that's what we call scarce resources divided out along some kind of priority basis.

"Free market" healthcare is "rationed" on the basis of ability to pay.
What the network needs is precomputed paths. Let the end devices or at least network edge compute the routes. The core should be just a dumb crossbar, with the switch bits directly selected by the header, and gets consumed in the process.

This would even work with purely photonic relativistic cut-through.
Reading slacking's comments, I feel that slacking is the type of person that slacking complains about. By putting down all those lesser people who use facebook, slacking appears to me to be just another "person with low self esteem" with a "complex to show the world how great their lives are".

China has also banned Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Bitcoin...

The lesson here is to invest in any technology that China bans.
Yeah but having to switch to createElement, appendChild, insertBefore, createTextNode just because innerHTML was not allowed was a pain in the butt.
the "Dub Techno" (music genre) in general
Here in northern Germany if you go to the supermarket and look at the origin of vegetables, most of them seem come from Spain & Italy.

Interesting, as the Netherlands would be closer geographically! But maybe the UK is just far enough from the south-med to make shipping vegetables from there not as economical.
That’s a gross generalisation. The NHS in the UK for example - while far from perfect - is none of those things.
Switzerland: if you're ill, you don't go to the hospital. You go the a doctor near you, that already knows your medical history (family doctor), or you call a free hotline (Sanatel), or you just go to a Pharmacy, as the personnel there has medical training and they can also find the nearest doctor and make an appointment for you. And then, bigger public transport stations and airports have doctor stations that are reasonably staffed where you can just walk in ~24hrs.
Hospitals do have walk-in for illness as well, but in relation to other stuff going on in the hospital you don't have a high priority and wait times can be more than you'd expect.
I think you've misunderstood my point; I don't think that at all.

I'm specifically criticising the focus polymer has on creating user interaction elements.

My point is that this sort of low level functionality isn't the right place to focus; most low level components you need already exist. What people is a way to build robust application UIs (and yeah, that includes having a root level <App/> component).

For comparison, read:

'build custom ui widgets' <-- wrong, this isn't a problem most people have.

vs.

'build your application from components' <-- right.
I agree that there is a trade-off between freedom and equality but the better our technology gets the better we can draw that line. We already have decided that both extremes aren't good so you can't for instance buy someone just because you are rich, and if you become successful we don't take all of your money until you are back to the national average. We have to try and figure out what a good balance is otherwise you are just going to capitulate to whichever group pushes their viewpoint through
The animated cursor also appeared on Excel for OSX, I wanted to kill someone (but I went with plan B and downgraded to a previous Office version).
I think you mean "to be rich". To be in the top 1%, you, by definition, need only to have an income which is in the top 1% of the US income distribution. However, the lacuna between the income distribution and the power distribution is exactly what is misleading about the term "the 1%" when it is used to complain about the power of the wealthy in modern America.
No, I don't think A&E is the same. "Emergency care" in the US is what emergency departments are for. I think this is the equivalent of A&E: go here if you are literally dying. "Urgent care" is for severe cases that don't have risk of imminent death: broken arm would be a great example. An ER will treat your broken arm, just probably not quickly. An urgent care facility is not equipped to handle anything life-threatening.

I'm not saying that the fact these things are separate implies it's worse than the European system, just different.
I(as a European) think the difference is that at least in my country nearly all hospitals are public, there's very few private hospitals and they are not very good. So the government can afford to give everyone great healthcare because they are using their own hospitals to do it - they set the rates for operations and hospitals don't have billing departments because they don't need them - even if someone is technically not covered by our national health insurance(say, a non-EU visitor) they are usually treated for free anyway because finding out how to bill them is more hassle than it's worth, unless it's a major operation. If you just need an xray and a cast they will do it and send you home. In US almost all hospitals are privately run, so corporations dictate prices - even if the government wanted to pay for everyone's care it would end up paying a lot more than Europeans are paying, because once again, the money would go straight in corporations pockets.

I mean, I'd be more than happy to learn more if I'm wrong about this, but at least this is my impression.
I still use them - IE9 being the highest available engine is just as bad as you remember, but being able to quickly whip up a few-hundred KB app HR can all use off a network drive to automate tedious tasks like recurring data-driven document generation, with a decent React UI, is worth some of the pain.

I agree that there is a portion of our society who are mentally ill and expected to achieve a level of success in our society by themselves somehow. We seem to understand that children should not have to fend for themselves because they are not mentally equipped, but many mentally ill people have the mind of a child yet still expected to act above their ability.
>> We need yelp for medical comparative price shopping, with consumer and expert reviews.

I'm sorry, this is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. What you need is being able to go to any doctor, any hospital, at any time, and knowing you won't pay for it at all, ever, as it is in many countries around the world. Not competitive comparative pricing. If you are in pain you don't want to be shopping around for a good price.
It's the original. Apologies in hindsight mentioning btc-e would have been wise. I tend to read the title and domain so I kinda didn't notice it but after I thought maybe not everyone does that.

Wow. In Australia, Norway and England theyll give you A/B vaccines easily on request. I find it hard to believe they wouldnt do tbis everywhere bar a few exceptional circumstances.
And Linux. OpenZFS shares code across them all which is pretty swell.

> This seems intuitively to be the case but I wonder what others think.

I've not clicked through the article, but before I saw any comments here, I thought it was claiming that 16% of the HTML on the average site was devoted to Open Graph Stories markup, like / share buttons, and other embedded FB widgets.

(But that was already primed in my mind, as a couple of days I'd been examining the source of a website that had a ludicrously huge Head section, and it was filled with Facebook sharing markup.)
Why undefined behavior may call a never-called function
If your design requires inheritance or virtual functions, C++ is the right choice. But in many cases, when it doesn't, if you still use C++, you'll pay the price of an extra indirection and a much larger memory structure to hold your objects. If your function were processing the inner loop of a video codec, that would unneccesarily slow you down
I see quite a few people disagreeing with the author but I think there's a key difference between:

a.) Learning python when you are also a beginner to programming

b.) Learning python when you're comfortable in another language

If, like the student in the story, you are in category a.) then I think the author is definitely right. The distractions of myriad libraries isn't helpful.

However, for category b.) it depends a lot more. I think there is value in understanding the core of a language but - depending on experience, familiarity with similar languages, end goal etc - I think we're talking between a few hours and a first sketch at a project before you're hindering yourself by ignoring the rest of the ecosystem.
Pliny the Elder had named Pliny the Younger as his heir, so in a way you both are correct.
The rather interesting TLDR could be

"On September 3rd 1967 all non-essential traffic was banned from the roads between 1am and 6am; in Stockholm and Malmö the ban was in place from 10pm on September 2nd to 3pm the next day.

At 4.45am, all cars still on the road stopped, slowly crossed to the opposite side of the road and stopped again, awaiting the next signal. At 5am the radio announced that Sweden had officially switched to right-hand traffic, and that was the uneventful story of how Sweden stopped driving on the left."

I wonder whether this would be even remotely possible in eg the UK or if there is too much sunk costs in cars and infrastructure (signs, traffic lights). Probably not. There are about 32Mn cars on the UK roads today [1].

To be honest that is one of the reasons for this question, to ascertain what customers would prefer between the two different options.
Could you write down the requirements for this app?
Youtube (in EU at least) has changed recently to make it much harder to play stuff in the background. (use case, full-album audio listening with the screen off) Ads now will interrupt the stream, and it won't continue till it's in the foreground, or there's a click.
I lived in the USSR too and I'd seen plenty of drunks on the streets, and people dying from alcoholism but I don't personally recall mass forced rehab incarcerations.

This argument against government-funded healthcare focuses on anecdata at best. And not very reliable.
Reasons That ECC Memory Matters
To elaborate, “angle measure” (i.e. circular arclength corresponding to a particular rotation) is a derived quantity, not the primary abstraction we should be thinking about.

The way I think about it is that angle measure is the logarithm of a rotation, with the information about the orientation of the plane of rotation stripped out. Composition of rotations is an inherently multiplicative kind of structure, and for something a computer can understand the best representation is usually a unit-magnitude complex number. We can treat it additively by taking the logarithm, in precisely the same way we can treat scaling additively by taking the logarithm.

Symbolically, iθ = log(z), where z = x + yi is a complex number with x^2 + y^2 = 1.

This tool is very useful if you want to e.g. smoothly interpolate between rotations, but often dramatic overkill. For many problems it’s better to deal with rotations in pure vector terms, and never bother with angle measure whatsoever.
All of those things are pretty minor and employ fairly standard design patterns. I think you're exaggerating a bit here.

The app is quite streamlined, especially compared to other apps like Facebook Messenger or Skype. I think if you were to remove any of the main features at this point, people would complain and jump ship to another app.

In order to supplant an ideology, you need a new ideology. A coherent set of ideas, rather than a disparate list of complaints. When people understand (or at least think they understand) where their beliefs are taking them they're more likely to work together, which is necessary to accomplish anything. That's why communists, fascists, Christianists, Islamists, and anarcho-capitalists have organizations and magazines whereas people who are concerned about how behavioral economics affects modern capitalism do not. There's no such thing as Tverskyism.
I live in Berlin and used to live in Vienna - I hear such jokes all the time, that Berliners will eat just about anything as long as it's cheap and won't immediately kill you.

You don't have to go far to see the difference either: Austrians and south Germans are already much more "food-oriented" than north Germans, so this may be a regional thing rather than encompassing the whole country.
I really like the CSV statistics example project in the post. That IS a cool tool if you are learning in a science or data processing context.
I actually do this, but annoyingly for quite a few (postgres/redis), the client tools are not separate packages so you still need to install the full db locally to use them.
Oh my, NL tomatos taste like water sponges. This fact depresses me more than it should :/ They are the predominate tomato sold in DE, UK and others. Really, try a tomato from southern europe or some places in eastern europe, preferably while in southern or eastern europe.
> in other countries with free public education you won't get arrested for not sending your kids to school.

These are two freedoms at play : the childs right to go to school vs. a parents right of refusing it. I'm of the opinion that the childs right is the stronger right here. Arresting parents might be a bit over the top (the childs right to have their parents at their side might be at risk instead which is worse) - but hefty fines or similar could be appropriate.
You could, but you lose out on a nice interface. Kernel implementation allows you to not care that you're actually using SSL. It's a normal socket and polling / waiting / data transmission works exactly the same as without SSL. Handing over a session key means you still have to include an SSL lib.

This is likely to end up being supported in systemd soon (I'm guessing) to get an SSL socket activation.
> "If you need to use a feature like Facebook Comments, there’s no getting around the need to load the Facebook SDK."

Actually, you can import facebook comments directly into your sites internal commenting system. There's an opensource plugin in wordpress to do this. Then visitors aren't bogged down by loading facebook comments, since those are already integrated in.
About time. 'the big crash of 2017'.

It's an necessary move to take, given there are just so many scams under the cover of ICO. So few innovations, so many ponzi schemes.
The language used to describe AfD is strikingly similar to the one used to describe Trump supporters prior to the elections. The truth is, the influx of immigrants is a real problem in Germany, although in some places is felt more than in others. Normal people turn to AfD for help, not because they're aggressive or hateful. It's difficult to even have a civilized discussion about it without being labelled as "racist" or "extreme right-wing". (Fortunately, the label "Nazi" is rarely used, it's more American domain these days.)
at this point i'm considering creating a backend framework that sends a grid of images and uses imagemaps for clicks.

with fast internet raster images shouldn't be a big issue.
Could it be that nobody knows what the latest version is any more due to the naming convention. At least with the big cats, they tended to get 'bigger' as they went along.

Maybe they should switch to simply 'macOS 2017' then 'macOS 2018'. Not really working for MS but an OSX update is less of a significant update than a Windows major version.
> I know some doctors in France well, they're extremely poorly paid compared to doctors in the same practice in the US.

French doctors still in the top 5% of earners in France, even higher when it comes to revenue from work. And the schools have to reject like 80% of the students at the end of first year.
That's if you go to the emergency room - they will keep you waiting (closer to 2 hours than 6), when you have no apparent life threatening condition.

If you have a serious issue, like a heart condition or a broken bone or vomiting etc, you will be processed much faster.

I know that because I've been in both situations - once with pain in my left ear (waited 2 hours, got a prescription to ibuprofen) and another was chest pain and high blood pressure - processed immediately, all blood work done in minutes, etc.

I guess a lot of people go to the emergency room because they just need a doctor to confirm that they're all right.

Estonia's gov is famous for adapting new things. I still remember their initiative on e-visa. Actually China is trying to do that too. But crypto coins are made to decentralize things, I wonder how these gov-lead coins will play any parts.
"Since this experiment used targeted findability tasks, more time and effort spent looking around the page are not good"

Meanwhile we now (maybe) understand why sites like eBay are SO effective for selling - they may be clunkier to navigate but people maybe spend longer looking at them and subconsciously ingesting all the marketing messages whilst around to find something else on the page.
Well that kind of invalidates the entire article then! ;-)

> For example, Petry, who led the moderate wing of the party, said that Germany should reclaim the German word "Volk" from its Nazi connotations, while Höcke, who is an example of the more right-wing views, regularly speaks of the "Fatherland" and "Volk", and has said that Germany should make a "180 degree" turn with regard to its sense of national pride.

You know, they do sound kinda "racist" and "extreme right-wing" from their own words.
