Most of them look better than they did. The combobox is still a mess though. It's always been one of my least favorite controls, mostly because of the UI. Now, the flyout menu is detached from the base control, making it worse.

It would be good for the design team here to take a look at how popular web frameworks have implemented dropdowns/combos, and take some inspiration. Things like the button morphing into the overall list, and losing the dividing line between the bottom of the entry field and the list of options.

The focus highlighting is excessive in my opinion and will lead more designers to disable it - not a great step for accessibility. Maybe put the high contrast version behind a browser option/high contrast mode for the system, so it's a little quieter.

In any case, happy to see progress on modernizing native form elements. But I hope these don't make it upstream without some significant UI polish.

I am pessimistic by nature + I've seen and experienced a lot of failures. I still go into startups, but I account for likely failures by allocating resources in a way where I will not be wiped out in case of likely failure.

I guess such optimism/pessimism can be different on different levels? I.e. "Chances of that idea to work out are nearly nil, but if I allocate a non-critical amount of resources it is worth a try as if it will work out - it will be great"? Basically I am pessimistic about the chances of a startup working out, but I am very optimistic about upside if, in a very unlikely event, the idea does work. Optimistic - because idea can work, but still be a crappy result, which honestly, did happen. I.e. it sorta works, but not quite big enough payoff, requiring me to maintain it without a clear path forward. In such scenarios, I usually just slowly cut resources to it as my interest wanes over time, but I still have quite a few websites/domains from 10+ years ago which I can't push myself just to not renew one day...

EDIT: and as another person mentioned, as I accumulate more wealth, I try out more ideas indeed. But honestly, I am no more optimistic about these. Just the ability to invest allows me to try more things without jeopardizing future of my family. The toughest limit is time, unfortunatelly I still clueless how to leverage wealth to acquire time resources (so far I am very bad at hiring, no matter if it is helping to clean the house or to write code).

I wish the calendar widget would be improved in standard Chrome too. Looks like though they are not making the slashes optional, it's not usable for Europeans as we tend to use dots.

Part of the problem is that it assumes browser wide setting of language, where as it is very common here to install browser and OS with US locals, but still want to have European inputs.

> From my political position it’s personally insulting that institutions such as the DEA and FDA tell me what I can and cannot put into my body.

I'm of two minds about that. While I agree that I ought to have full autonomy over my own body, at the same time the state has a vested interest in not allowing its population to fall victim to life-destroying drugs, especially when those drugs target the most vulnerable members.

Russia's heroin problem has been rising and rising -- apparently 2% of the population are addicted, and much higher rates for certain segments [1] -- and people talk of a "lost" generation. And it may get even worse.

I think our social contract with the state involves not allowing that to happen to its population.

... I'm guessing quite a bit. Until I was 12 you were in bed, lights out, no tv by 8pm PERIOD for me and many of my friends. Past that if I wasn't in bed at 10 it was "why aren't you in bed? Turn the computer and TV off and if I pick up the phone you better not be on it!"
A problem with most theories like this is that they treat interaction as though it can only ever add up to a positive impact. Too much unwanted interaction can burn somebody out just as much as not enough wanted interaction. That's one of the reasons that we talk about "emotional labor".
Democracy itself only exists because people were willing to go much further than 'rational persuasion' to secure it.

The destruction of the environment is aggression against us all - that people have not responded more firmly before now is the surprising part. Democracy depends on the governed if not giving their explicit consent, then at least acknowledging the governing authority, it is not a carte blanche to do whatever in the name of an untested majority.

Not least on a global scale, where most people have no say in most of the destructive acts.

This sort of argument is so shitty. "If this thing that hasn't happened, happened, then people would do X action"

How do you argue against it? It's a hypothetical event that hasn't occurred. You get to feel smug with your point and no one can actually disprove it.

I generally find people that are so aggressive with their passive announcement of political values aren't the type of people I want to associate with, but I'm not going to say someone wearing a MAGA hat should be banned from playing Overwatch. It wouldn't even occur to me as something to suggest.

Thankfully so. Apple keeps the App Store pretty clean, legacy apps, that are not maintained enough don't make it to the next iOS release and their capability system means I don't have to trust third party apps with anything.

Of course, there are cases that essentially suffer from this, but for me as a user, I've got to say I'm pretty satisfied.

When I was in Naples a few weeks ago I was told that the Margherita variant was created by the wife of the chef who added a single basil leaf onto the completed pizza. This pizza was served to the royal couple, where the queen (Margherita) was so taken by the creation that the chef decided to name it in her honour.

Also, the flag of Italy was only adopted in the mid 1940's, and Queen Margherita was around about 100 years earlier.
Yep, same with me. I managed to get my old programs that I wrote 10+ years ago and feared to have lost along the way back thanks to the archive.

I think it’s really easy to have a different stance based upon the actual drug.

Can you add Boston MA? Thriving tech scene here, would love to see it on the list :)
On a current Android (presumably iPhones are similar) you can set information and a list of contacts, when somebody picks up a locked phone they can pick emergency and then either:

Make whatever the local emergency phone call is (112 or 911 whatever) which will work if the phone can figure out any way to make that call (e.g. it works if you have no credit on a PAYG phone or the "right" network isn't available)

OR

Display the information and list of contacts, then make calls to any of the contacts just as if the phone wasn't locked by its owner.

I wouldn't expect a random person to necessarily know this will work, but I expect police lost+found departments know it exists and maybe other types of emergency responder would know or at least won't be scared of pressing "emergency" on somebody's phone.

Mine gives my first name, and contacts for some close friends.
To be clear, the flat earth theory is wrong, I don't subscribe to it, and yes I'm defending flat-earthers. I reserve the right to defend people I disagree with, and to point out ways that wrong ideas can occasionally translate into useful interactions with reality.
I'm not sure that's important. If you make it too easy, it's a security hole. So, you have to wipe the device, which makes since in preventing a hostile actor from pressing the, "I am mow root" button and either dumping everything or installing malware. I also don't see an issue with google not putting a fancy gui front-end on their dev tools. They're built for advanced users, and in some ways, that's a barrier to entry to the avg. guy can't mess up his system or get phished into pressing the "root button."
> not trivial for the average user

That is a very good thing. I wish they also made "install from unknown sources" a bit harder.

Don't get me wrong, I love openness. But there must be a barrier of entry.

Define "Realistically". Also define "desirability". You could make equally strong arguments both ways.

Example: If you are depressed you are more likely to focus on input data that is 'negative' and overlook the 'positive' data. For instance if your depressed, instead of focusing on the different ways people are trying to improve the conditions of existence, you could focus on "the shitty conditions in india/africa/china/etc.) You could say this is more "realistic".

Example: If you are optimistic on the other hand, you could say to yourself, I have no control over those variables that make the world 'shitty', let me try and focus on the variables that make the world 'positive' and see if I can affect them, so that the world as a whole can be more "positive". Some could say this is "unrealistic".

Which is more "desirable" I would argue the latter, but I hope the argument has shown that these are value judgements subjective to the individual.

The attention seems to be due to two factors: the high-profile cases that hit large organizations like school districts, local government or hospitals (which are not affected by common scams), and the relative novelty of using cryptocurrency for paying the ransom (though not predominantly, according to this survey; I would guess that using cryptocurrency reduces the yield from the individual users that are the common victims.)
For now it may be just noise, but the ransoms are quickly getting bigger and bigger. Last month I facilitated the payment of 3 BTC to decrypt the files.

For a brief moment in time, there was an alternative in mobile space having best of the both worlds. Back then Nokia was still a thing, Meego/Maemo OSes on some -very few- Nokia devices had apt & rpm. Nokia repository would be there by default, and you could easily go and add any package repository through their UI. Just like good ol' Linux package managers, because it was one.

In fact this capability even enabled the community of these OSes to support the platform much longer than Nokia intended to. They made emulators, enabled hidden functionality (like FM Radio), even the bootloader was unlocked so you could go and install Android -but drivers were not open-source- if you wanted. It was liberating.

Too bad it got killed prematurely, and from its ashes Windows Phone was born.

My understanding of this:

"Eleanor waited to do all her studying the night before the exam" — that's data: it would show up on a video recording of the scene.

"Eleanor procrastinates" — that's a judgement/interpretation/opinion: it exists in someone's mind (i.e. the person making the judgement).

This isn't to say "judgements bad, don't make judgements". That would be nonsensical. We all make judgements/interpretations all the time, they're a necessary part of the human experience.

But (in my experience) it's really _really_ helpful to differentiate between these two categories. It opens the whole thing up and allows things to proceed more smoothly and effectively (in conjunction with other tools in the toolset - but this is core).

To expand on the example: if, as Eleanor, I hear the judgement I'm probably, yes, more likely to shut down and get defensive - which gets none of us anywhere. OTOH if I hear the data, there is then perhaps more room to have a conversation about what's going on. It might be that my ADHD is contributing to this behaviour, and perhaps if I get that it has a negative impact on someone else, I might decide to ask them (or someone else) for support in working out a better way to deal with this. Or I might simply be asking for more understanding, different structures. I don't know. But the kind of mutual acknowledgement of experience, feelings and wants that I'm talking about tends to be shut down by unowned judgements presented as fact.

I fall asleep around 2-3am every night and am up at 7:15am during the week. I'm 39. I've been a night owl since I was a teen, and even today I have to force myself to sleep. During vacations it becomes extreme, I easily stay up till 6-7am and sleep till 12 or so - which seems to be ideal as I always revert to those times given 3-4 days where I'm not required to be up early. Adjusting my schedule back to "normal" involves skipping sleep for a night.

It was Steve Jobs' "Thoughts on Flash" essay that really turned the tide on Flash. Flash, as a direct threat to the gigantic revenue stream that was the Apple Store, could not be put on the iPhone. I immediately saw that essay for what it was, and didn't pay much attention. Rather than say "Flash threatens Apple's revenue" Jobs' had to employ FUD.

But within a day, Wired magazine published an op-ed masquerading as a factual article, hating on Flash; and never stopped that drumbeat. "Flash. Must. Die." it (literally) wrote.

And then, it was a total pile-on. No "serious programmer" would go anywhere near it, nor admit that there was anything positive about it at all. One could not mention Flash without devs asserting loudly that it was "riddled with security holes" (always "riddled", always "security holes").
