The first time I meet a remote colleague I'm often surprised by their height, and a very common statement is "Wow I never realised you were this tall!"

I don't see the difference between that and realising someone is a different ethnicity than you expected.

Racism is (by definition) prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism. Being surprised because someone looks different than you imagined is nothing like that.
I don't know about you, but I don't really wanna discourse with people who are so superficial as to ridicule my appearance. If you offend me, why the hell should I engage in civil discourse?
That looks very good! I wonder if I can make it fit my file-based approach.

Running an email forwarding service has to be a pretty thankless task, so hats off to the author if they're doing it right, even if the UI isn't quite on their side.

I send a lot of (wanted) mail and some subscribers have various forwarders set up which result in the eventual recipient server rejecting the mail due to the forwarded mail failing SPF and DMARC. It's a nightmare as we get the bounce backs telling us off but it's because the forwarders aren't, of course, sending from IPs included in our SPF record. (There are clearly ways to do it properly, but a lot of mail forwarding systems appear not to?)
Yeah, it's this, combined with how cheap and effective gas turbines are, co2 be damned. It's really hard to argue for several billion dollars on a 10 year min delay until revenue vs renewables plus gas that builds out in under a year and is net positive ROI within a shockingly short time.

Even though I'm generally pro nuclear, I've come to the conclusion that absent some innovation that changes the cost structure, it's an increasingly dead option. I was hopeful NuScale's approach would do that, but it's pretty clear now they're missing their needed numbers.
Cool idea, but tbh I want to see what it looks like once some of the bubbles have been popped.
Thank you. That clears it.

By the way as an Indian I have always been attracted to your country, but it's just the cold that stops me from even attempting. (And I don't mean the "immigration" attraction, I had my chance in NL and after a backpacking trip I realized it was not my cup of tea). Same with Europe. Australia seems too far and in the middle of nowhere disconnected from every other place. I imagine it will be too lonely there.

Coming back to Canada I also think we outsiders know very little about the place compared to say your neighbours and a place like the UK. I am heavily into watching cinema. Would you please recommend some filmmakers that show Canada in a way that people get to see how and what the life is there?

It’s not a prerequisite, the proof is that no one seems to use docker to build latex. That’s what I meant: it’s an ugly mess and you’ll spend hours trying to compile things like you’re dealing with autotools and a C codebase, and people don’t even use docker.

It's not the point of ripgrep. If ripgrep were only marginally better at common grepping tasks then it could hardly justify not being compatible. It aims to be much better though, so it can justify it well. But not being compatible is not the point or the goal of the project, I believe.
I'm confused. Surely you can install the modified software? It's just that now the local jurisdiction may not allow you to use your car on public roads. That's a bummer, but a political problem that exists between the user and his government, not a software problem between the user and the car manufacturer?

Apple is dragging their feet on 15% AppStore fee reduction?
Hi,

I am a dev and falls way under their 1M$ revenue limit, so it means I should be eligable for 15% drop in fees. I have applied for this in december. I just checked last week and I am still paying 30%. I have applied again but every month that passes I lose out on 15% extra income.

Has anyone else got the reduced fees?

> If programming and designing is communication

There's a research field called Semiotics of Human-Computer Interaction studying user interfaces from that angle. Developers usually have a technical background from maths or engineering, and often are not aware of the importance of linguistics in our field.

Both programming languages and GUIs are languages (artificial, sure, but linguistics also study those) which are used to write expressions that can be read by humans. Semiotics, the study of signs and their meaning, provide methods to analyze how users make sense of the software artifacts (products and tools) delivered to them.

One researcher called the user interface a designer's deputy, i.e. a messenger that conveys in its entirety a message that the programmers wants to communicate to the users.
This deputy must stand on its own, since it's the only information available to the user.

Users then perform sense-making on the symbols in the interface, to infer the meanings of all elements [1]. Notice that the user can't see what each interface element actually does, since they don't have access to the code; they can only guess what it does from the available symbols. If the symbols lead the user to infer an incorrect meaning, communication breaks.

Gmail is not wrong.

The "via" text is only shown if the email is DKIM-signed by a different domain name than that envelop From domain.

The biggest barrier is probably going to be the diff between architectures supported by Linux and those supported by Rust. It'll take several years for Linux to prune some of the lesser used architectures [1] and also years for Rust to add support on either LLVM [2] or via a WIP GCC frontend [3].

So while most people involved seem to supportive, including Torvalds and GKH, it will take time for any non-driver code to be written in Rust.

I'm in the "text or GTFO" team, and the opposite is an especially annoying trend in desktop webapps. My bank rewrote their UI to icons-only a while ago and it's complete shitshow. I randomly click around to go to the screen I want because icons are non-descriptive at all.

Having said that, text has an annoying feature of needing to be localized, and localization of button texts is tricky because you want a very short string, in order to not overflow, because you have very small screen estate on mobile.

(It doesn't also help that some native built-in components have APIs that show the icons only, without text)
Coding a .NETCore project on an iPad using GitHub Codespaces
Noob question from someone with little knowledge of email: Doesn't Gmail just move emails which fail DMARC to spam outright? Even though A1 in the op does look more trustworthy, I would have thought Gmail would just disregard it, since a DMARC fail is a big red flag? In that case, I would think B1 looks a lot more trustworthy, since it's not marked as spam. Or is the picture a bit more complex than that?
All sign languages use much more than handshape and position. And even outside of facial expression grammar (ie non-manual communication) there is a whole host of other complexities that make parsing sign language difficult.

Take classifiers: there are eight morphological types that allow users to express complex ideas without the use of any type of vocabulary-based utterances. You can certainly sign the equivalent of, “Did you see the car parked close to the tree,” (CAR PARK NEAR TREE SEE?) using vocabulary. Sure. It gets the point across, but it’s not efficient, and doesn’t really utilize sign language in a way that feels normal for users.

But that same question can be posed in a more condensed format if you use a classifier, (#CAR 5:CL-“tree”/3:CL-“car parked really close” SEE?). In the second utterance, one use the lexicalized (fingerspelled “car”), then holds up a five hand with bent elbow in their non-dominant hand, use the three hand representing the car placing it reeeeeeally close (with grammatical, NMC emphasis) to the tree, and finally asking the receiver if they saw it.

In that example alone, I’m using two types of classifiers: element and locative. Imagine a complex story using all eight classifier types with just a little vocabulary mixed in? I doubt AI/ML could interpret the context, characters, actions, events, descriptions, etc. accurately. Anyway, I hope this example shows there is a lot more complexity in computerized interpretation of signed languages well beyond gesture/vocabulary recognition.

Note: My glossing may not be perfect. It's been a while, and I’m a bit rusty.
Music Software and Bad Interface Design: Avid’s Sibelius (2018) [video]
Came here to say this. It makes perfect sense to me. Maybe we're missing something?!
You've received some downvotes (perhaps because this read as being too flippant?) but I feel like you've covered it perfectly. The era where cable TV became truly heinous (nothing interesting to see, way too many ads, etc) was also the era where it just wasn't necessary anymore. While you have it it feels like it'd be hard to replace, but let's be honest: It'll take maybe a week of getting used to it and after that you won't miss it.

If subscription gaming gets this bad, it'll go the same way. In thirty years it'll be dying a slow death because fewer and fewer people use it and most people will have moved on to whatever replaces it. After they've spent another ten years dying there'll be the inevitable Netflix (i.e. streaming TV) moment, but for streaming games. Wonderful, but ultimately just the same thing but with time rolled back fifty years.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it might (probably will) go wrong, but nobody will really suffer for it and it'll fix itself given a little patience.
>Also I'm wondering what kind of situations there are where you "need to accelerate to get out of a tight spot?" I'm a pretty experienced driver and I think the number of "must accelerate" situations I've ever encountered could be counted on a hand. Almost universally, you can solve whatever problem you're in by being more patient and decelerating instead.

There are a myriad of situations, often involving merges of some sort, where the moves of various traffic participants have resulted in a situation where an aggressive acceleration up to speed and into traffic or up to the traffic speed of another lane so you can get into it, closer to the car in front of you to make space behind you for someone else, or something else like that results in a better overall situation and a net fewer number of people needing to react to the situation and therefore less opportunities for someone to do it wrong causing a near miss or accident.

Yes, you could likely solve these situations by braking but in doing so you are roping more traffic participants into the situation and making it more dangerous making accelerating and merging the more courteous approach. Braking for everything is definitely more stupid proof heuristic and if followed blindly will yield infinity better results than accelerating for everything but it leaves a heck of a lot of efficiency on the table.
> You now have a computer that is 10,000 times faster than one you had 30 yrs ago at half the price.

Actually, I think Apple has caused the prices of pocket computers to go up in the last few years (relative to features). And many of these features, I could do without (I.E.: I don't need so many sensors on my daily phone, this is dangerous from a privacy point of view). They removed the physical keyboard though...

> And yes you pay for it with some loss of privacy.

Why? You can pay $1,000 for your pocket computer and they still won't let you be administrator of it in the name of your own protection.

To tell you the truth, I don't like where today's computer designs are going.
They both look like spam.

B1 is displaying a verified relay that doesnt match the sender domain.

The problem seems to be that the author doesnt want to display "via way.hanami.com", in which case he should set up DKIM for the domain he actually wants (the redacted domain) instead of "way.hanami.com".

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd recommend GFN to literally everyone I know if they stopped limiting what games I can play on it. It's really very nice for what it actually works for.
Does it even work then? I know that a Weiner process will visit all points on the real line with probability 1, but house edge is like a drift term which biases the process to go down. I'd be interested to see some results on this. Clearly, at the limit (house edge = 100% chance of winning), the probability of ever being positive is 0, but what about when the house edge is 1-epsilon?

It does _fail_ DMARC.. but the DMARC record for getopty.com tells it to do nothing if it fails.

It's policy is set to "none". You normally do this when you are starting to investigate your DMARC setup and want the stats. This way you can fix things before you up the policy through quarantine and then to reject.

I've published 20+ books, mostly fiction, using LaTeX (specifically XeLaTeX), as there are a host of fine-tuning tools available through packages, basic settings that can be played with, and the built-in spacing that just looks...better. XeLaTeX also allows using pretty much any font you like, along with easy typographic control down to letterforms. I also like the ability to play with book/page/margin sizes that can be tested with a couple small changes to the source document & a recompile. I'm not sure I would recommend learning LaTeX just to do this, but if you're familiar with it, the rewards are there.
My advice is you watch a youtube build guide from this year, at around the price point you want. That game is sort of realistic, but nothing beats watching someone do it in real life (then being able to do it in real life). You don't have to get identical parts to the one in the youtube guide, but maybe the big stuff like the mobo/case (CPU and GPU, as long as they're compatible with the mobo and roughly match in processing power, can be different from the video).

What's your price point? pcpartpicker.com is a great resource for getting a parts list at your price range, because you pick every part and it only shows you compatible parts.
It depends. In most typical cases if it is billed by the hour (inc. regular employment) it does not worth it to deliver early. When failure to meet deadlines is expected the optimal time to deliver is after the original estimate. The exact numbers can vary a lot.
I agree and I think your ideas form a good model to explain so many issues we've been facing more and more often.

Some days ago I wrote here in HN about the change my stock broker made on their default home broker. It immediately becomes obvious that the people responsible for that design have never performed anything nontrivial with stocks. They created a symmetrical, colorful platform. The symmetry is enforced, therefore you don't have the flexibility of setting up your quote-boxes any longer (perhaps because that would break the artist's concept). Just to mention one of many issues the new design brought.

The same applies to the Google Meet example in the article. Functionally, you'd never want those buttons presented that way. But placing them like that makes them look nice and symmetrical and Gestalt-related stuff, so that's the way to go and deal with it, dear users.

> Perhaps the hardest part is having the humility to admit, "I don't understand the problem sufficiently" and the empathy to care about the problem enough to learn it well

I agree, but don't see that happening, not in the short term at least. I had an argument with a designer some time ago about how much longer the project was going to take and how her ideas were actually substracting value from a user perspective. But she ended the discussion with a "this project has my signature, my reputation is in there". And that's what my criticism against current UX trends is all about. Artist's concept trumps user needs, project maintainability and everything. They are investing all the resources on graphic design matters and this is obstructing the whole field.

Some UX folks argue that designers like those "aren't true UX designers". I agree, but those "false" designers seems to be outnumbering the "true" ones. The latter may eventually have to found a new discipline.
> leasing and renting is quite common

Leasing is common because people don't quite understand they're always worse off with it (though you could make the argument that it saves hassle and could therefore be worth it).

Renting is as common as it is because for a large amount of people it's literally impossible to buy a house where they'd need it (or even at all, without significant moving distance). Renting is always a terrible idea and most people understand this, they just don't have a choice.
I think it's because the author thinks "via" text is a negative thing?

They run an email forwarding service, so their SPF records will fail, but an untampered email should still pass DKIM. in fact, that's how most email forwarding setups work. If the message is tampared, and re-signed with the forwarding service's DKIM key, it's correct for Gmail/email-client to show the via-text.
