No wonder so many people are eager to bring out the pitchforks. Is this the behaviour we expect from our most successful? Is this what we'd do ourselves with money? Are you bored and rich? Go play in the sand. Go feed the homeless. Make a damn chair out of scrap wood.

Is this level of idiotic consumption and speculation even widespread amongst the rich, or do we glorify a pompous minority in the media as fantasy for poor people?

I grew up with money. From day one my mother berated me for turning on more lights than I needed in the house, or wasting the last bit of butter on the packet. Our cars were always economy models and I drive a 17 year old car right now - fully bought and paid for by my dad 17 years ago for $15K. It's not a "beater". Why would I invest wealth-creating money on a depreciating asset to replace a perfectly good tool? I would never dream of spending over $100 on a pair of shoes, and they better last forever. My luxuries are working less hours, eating more takeout than I should, treating people to small gifts and spending money on gas to go to the beach.

All of this conspicuous consumption just feels like people who should know better are being taken for a ride. I'll make an exception for people like baseball-card-man who are taking others for the ride, he's just an opportunist. But I can't read about it all without feeling disgust at the lifestyle being sold to us readers. Skip the new BMW, save your money and put it towards anything that will make you free and do some good for the world.

Wow, just looked at the new alarm clock in 14.3; it's insane.

But even before that it had UI issues. While I had no problems with it, a friend of mine, a seasoned UI and web specialist and Apple fanboy no less, couldn't for the life of him figure out how to set a basic alarm until I hinted "you need to press 'edit alarm' at the top"; he just didn't notice that option being there.

since we are on the topic of hovering, i have come to notice a negative consequence for ignoring it altogether.

in a few modern applications i have been using that the iconography is foreign to me. my first instinct is to hover those icons to see a help text or tooltip. most often, these modern apps also take away the tooltips because mobile devices don't have them anyway.

this is a loss in accessibility imo.
“Consensus” implies most agree on a given topic, whereas “narrative” means what’s currently being pushed as an agenda.

I think you meant to say the latter, because any medical professional who cares about the well-being of their patients agrees that transgenderism is a mental illness to be treated, not a new breakthrough in human psychology.

Pretty sure doctors still adjust medication dosages based on if you’re a male or female. You still develop different bone structure and muscle density based on your biological sex that you inherently have at birth. Again your terminology here is incorrect. You say “assigned” but that implies that doctors are walking around with a penis stamp or vagina stamp handing out whatever they feel like to babies, which would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous to actually believe.

I’d be more than willing to consider your viewpoint if you could provide scientific, peer-reviewed sources that support your claims, but thus far your arrogance and emotional beliefs about a topic you clearly know nothing about are evident.
Exactly, if inflation arrives and the Fed were to raise interest rates, all that fake wealth would disappear. The problem is that the fake wealth is a big chunk of the economy so the Fed will not raise rates.
> the easiest way to handle these types of situations is to just read over and sign whatever NDA the bigger company has sent over.

That can cause problems down the road for a receiving party. For example:

1. Some NDAs include terms that assign ownership of newly-developed IP to the big company — this once resulted in Stanford University losing part-ownership of one of its biotech patents to Roche, in a case that Stanford (unsuccessfully) took all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. [0]

2. Many, many old-fashioned NDAs still require the receiving party to return or destroy all of the disclosing party's confidential information. That can be quite burdensome and expensive for electronically-stored information. (Imagine having to search all your emails and backups to identify the disclosing party's confidential information.) And in any case, as insurance for possible future litigation, the receiving party would want to keep an archive copy to document what it received — and by implication, what it didn't receive — from the disclosing party.

Woa thanks, good tldr.

I never understood the revolution as causing the Napoleonic wars, and I had always gotten the idea that Napolean waged his wars for the much more mundane reason of an Emperor wanting to expand his borders, because ego. I never understood that so much of the revolution's ideas persisted into Napoleon's rule and conquest.

Also I've always had a bit of a beef with people celebrating the French Revolution as some glorious victory of "the people" over their evil oppressors, without mentioning the Terror that followed. Maybe that's made me a bit blind to how much of the good parts persisted :-)

I'll dig deeper, thanks!

>> Dynamic changes to the database have advantages and drawbacks. On the plus
side, they let you incorporate knew knowledge and rules, and you automatically
benefit from built-in features such as argument indexing. However, running the
same query twice can lead to different results, changes in the order of goals
can affect the meaning of the conjunction, and you can no longer reason about
different predicates in isolation. Dynamic changes of the database are said to
be side-effects, since they affect the program in a way that is outside the
logical interpretation of the given definitions.

I wonder if that is part of the benefits advertised by DDlog, the ability to
update a program without having to worry about clause ordering (which one does
not have to, with datalog and bottom-up evaluation) or generally side effects.

Very tentatively, I'm guessing that, since datalog programs lack negation, any
new facts or rules added to the (extensional) database will update the "output"
of the database (its Herbrand model) monotonically, i.e. you'll see new facts
comeing out but no facts will "disappear". I'm a bit unsure because the DDlog
github is talking about functions and typed datalog and I'm not really sure how
that works now.

When I read that article, all I could think of was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Pyu-Cj0gg

(In case you're sensitive, it's farmers using pitchforks to turn soil in a fallow or recently harvested field that is ridden with rats, which flushes the rats. There are a handful of ratting dogs milling about which immediately chase and kill the rats. The way they do it is the dog grabs the rat in it's mouth and shakes its head wildly. This breaks the rat's back and stuns it. It's actually pretty impressive, if violent and macabre.)

I think there are dogs that would find it fun as heck to live in that area of Australia for a few weeks.

Yeah it’s not abnormal unfortunately. Anywhere that “alpha personalities” are likely to clash is bound to result in some physical clashes.

My own experience was getting into a fist fight with someone after I told them to fuck off and open a ticket because I wasn’t going to drop everything and fix his shit right there right then.

Fist fights never go how you expect them to which was fortunate for me in the end.

We’re still friends 20 years later :)

Edit: I’d like to clarify that this is in no way acceptable but it is normal to some degree.
This is actually a valid point. I don't care about money as such. It's nice to have and being able to buy luxury is great. But being able to buy stuff for your wife and children and having the time to spend with them is even better.

> How is something like having Google Analytics on your site "shady shit"?

The fact that a question can be phrased like this really illuminates how much society has changed in 20 years.

Not so long ago sharing data between sites was definitively shady. Then Google somehow institutionalized it, and now it is completely mainstream.

> I would think counting unique visitors is a legitimate business interest

Yes, that's not it. Identifying people are, and collecting their personal data is.
The most important part of design was not mentioned in this piece: requirements. The first step to any good design is a solid set of requirements which include things like responsibility, ethics, functionality and audience. Design is not fine art, it is applied art or craft as the author suggests. Crafting a chair requires a firm set of requirements, or the chair will fail to serve its purpose.

The same can be said about any venture or engineering project. Start with a good set of requirements, and then iterate to a superior design for a successful product.

A lot of these aren't "small screen" problems, just bad/hacky coding, not doing things like apple recommends or not handling some edge cases, so they're simply just bugs.

Clubhouse - maybe it's an issue that the UI on the right isn't disappearing completely, but maybe that's by design. Anyway, nothing is clipped/truncated

Spotify - the "now plating" bar's height isn't added to the scrollview's content inset. Not a small screen issue since it's on the vertical axis and content is scrollable.

Globe Telecom - yes, this could count as one (with the tabbar).

CloudMd - that's just probably hardcoding the status bar's height, nothing is truncated/out of view.

Foodpanda - that side menu is actually scrollable. y letter is cut off, ok. Nothing you can't access.

Google Maps - this is a design decision, same ratio of map/list height on my iPhone XS. You can either view the map or the list in full screen

Headspace - navigation/status bar issue, just bad coding
local bank - yes, this counts as well

Lalamove - yes, 2 textfields are too much

Shortcuts - scroll up?

I do agree that small screen devices aren't getting enough focus on this regard.

> stomping around, slamming doors and yelling at my boss

This is fine. It's a hostile work environment. But if everyone's on the same page, it can, I don't want to say work, but not totally suck. Especially if there's good money.

Threatening to punch people, smashing things near someone to show them who's boss and "getting physical" is different. It's abuse. It's illegal. It was somewhat commonplace in and before the 80s [1], but it has not been common for decades now nor should it be.

[1] I have a theory for this, and it involves leaded gasoline.
It may appear to you to be organically arising in society, but to many people, it seems to be actively encouraged by propaganda efforts — "anti-extremism training", "diversity training", and the like — and the embrace of those in power, whether governmental or private, even extending to asymmetrical enforcement of laws based on the wokeness of the violators.

TD Digest #172 – Haggling with Hypnos
That’s one thing the article forgets. Going with a click rather than hover means you need to implement the “one click to select, double to activate” if things can be activated inadvertently with a single click.

I’m familiar with this issue as I’ve been trying to abandon excess hover effects and switch to clicks in apps I build on web stack. It’s difficult since most good UI frameworks rely on hover effects, and requires care in preventing accidental actions from a single click if you want your users to go with your paradigm and not hate you.

> All of this testing is being carried out on public roads, for the benefit of the world's most valuable automaker, at basically zero cost.

This is an extreme example of "socialize losses, capitalize profits".
It is a zero sum game over short timescales. Over long timescales the situation is actually worse since the more money you have, the more you can make. So whoever starts with a small advantage ends up with a huge advantage, and whoever starts out behind might fall into poverty and end up with nothing. Wealth redistribution of various kinds- governmental and otherwise- is all that keeps the system stable at all.
How does this impact legacy accounts? Is there a one time thing I can spend $100 on?
Many industries have stress. It is a natural and obvious side effect of competition. Some organizational cultures will work to curb asshole behavior, some will not.
The point being, most of the time people say "build consensus", what they mean is either

"let's have an endless, design by committee approach where the backend dev with no knowledge on UI decides how the UI should look rather than letting the UI designer create a few samples and iterate and everyone else giving feedback like a user would"

or

"we already decided this is going to happen, but for the sake of formality we want you to agree with it so we can feel good about ourselves bullshitting one another into believing everyone has a say, so give us the ok or we'll pester you until you do"

It also stimulates the idea that disagreements are inherently wrong and nothing should happen while a disagreement is in place. Sometimes, it's ok to disagree with someone else and see what happens. Some might call this a form of consensus, though I've had managers get uncomfortable when I didn't vehemently agree with the plan, but was willing to keep my nose out of it and focus on my own things so others could take the risk.
You're right, it bothers me more than it should, maybe as an allergic reaction. I want to inoculate myself against this behaviour.

I've never berated anyone for spending their money, mind you, and hopefully I never do. But I can feel the pull of this behaviour on aggregate. I get snide comments half the times I go surfing on my car or my board from people wit literally ten times less yearly income than me who blow it all on leasing new Mercedes station wagons every 3 years. Going to dinner with some friends feels like a game of who can blow the most money nonchalantly. No thanks.

I don't how your part of the world is, but living in Lisbon in your mid-30s you can feel how people are spreading themselves thin financially to keep up with the Joneses. I've started taking a public posture against it because I feel someone has to. I've seen this movie play out and it ended with a lot of people giving their homes back to the bank.
I worry about anything heritage-/tourism-related being deeply conservative and possibly resulting in things getting fixed down or watered down, or otherwise ceasing to evolve/getting tied up with national/international bureaucratic apparatuses. But the people involved seem to be happy from what little I've seen (as an outsider), so it's probably ok here?
But if you consider the app in the example, the ‘Globe’ carrier app, you’ll almost immediately see that the problem is that it is a confusing navigational spaghetti that is designed to force users to explore an app littered with ‘promotional offers’.

Why else would you need a special ‘discover these precious diamonds’ button in the toolbar, with the useful paths hidden in the hamburger menu and then patched over with parallel navigation from the ‘quick action’ buttons on the ‘dashboard’ (of which half is dedicated to ‘Offers & Promos’ and ‘Lifestyle’)

It’s almost as if the app has a fixed position ad that floats over half the screen and the article is complaining the useful information is so hard to see because they didn’t test on small iPhones.
I disagree. I am often in calls with half a dozen folks from a customer, none of whom I've met before, all with English names that I have more trouble telling apart than my native German names, and due to their audio setup and the different language I might have trouble distinguishing their voices. Worse, Microsoft teams just shows a bubble with initials in it. Having some kind of visual anchor, like this kind of virtual representation, would really help me remember people and calls a lot better, and nobody would have to share their video if they just got out of bed.
GDPR is sooo easy to follow as a startup. Just gather the data you need and not everything else,and ask for consent.

Clearly we're not going to ask for consent to track someone who is systematically probing our site for vulnerabilities, or someone who is attempting to use us to validate presumably stolen credit card details, or a group who are obviously sharing a password to gain unauthorised access in violation of our terms of service.

Also, the purpose(s) of data processing matter, not just the data itself. It's not as simple as only gathering what you need. You also have to ensure that what you gather is used appropriately, and that you have the means to respond to the various rights that subjects have by law.

Thousands of people on mailing lists with no control of how they got there.

Actually, that was one of the tricky areas when the GDPR came in, and something almost no-one got right despite good intentions. Specifically, the widely accepted best practice for managing a mailing list had long been to use double opt-in, thus verifying that the subscriber really did intend to receive the messages, and to provide a simple, automated unsubscribe facility. However, unless you had kept all the confirmation replies, under the GDPR you might not have met the required standard for evidence of each list subscriber actively opting in to receive your mails.

That led to a wave of messages being sent out to mailing lists asking subscribers to confirm they still wanted to receive the mails. This was particularly ironic because if those subscribers hadn't already intended to consent then those messages were probably themselves in violation of existing law in much of the EU even before the GDPR came in. The difference was that before, no-one was seriously worried that a legitimately operated mailing list with double opt-in was going to be targetted for business-crippling penalties, but with all the ambiguity around the GDPR and the uncertainty around how it was going to be enforced, a lot of people panicked.
I don't know if he's referring to it being celebrated in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. But all 3 places have a strong Persian influence anyways.
Or Facebook photo preview where it cuts off the bottom until you open it to full, and no indicator it’s cut off except your own experience with crappy cutoffs. That often changes the meaning of pictures/memes.
I don't recall claiming that it does...

Although I would think that this type of experience would steer one away from using the software or recommending it, this eventually reducing the revenue.

But more importantly, it would weigh on my conscience as a developer and reduce the quality of my sleep, which to me is more important than money by a long shot.
