Yeah this dynamic definitely exists. I think this is because there's a big mismatch between what frontend wants ("we'd prefer a single, super fast endpoint with no params") and what backend wants ("we automatically exposed our database tables complete with RBAC, query away"). Backend engineering has more or less become all implementing this mapping layer, whether it's with graphql resolvers, db views, or whatever, but the work to be done is like 90% here.

The metric conversions are idiotic. Converting "1 cup" to 5 decimal places is misleading, and offering alternatives in l / cl / ml (with a capital ell??) is useless. The addition of cm^3 is the cherry on top :)

This was clearly designed by someone who has never used the metric system.

A human would convert it to "1/4 liter" or "250ml".

Edit: Actually, a human would convert "1 cup of flour" into "150g flour", since most local recipes use weight instead of volume for solids. Which shows that good localisation is a lot more than just literal translation + unit conversion.
Another thing I hate: user interfaces in which the visual/audible feedback is independent of whether the input has taken effect. This is distressingly common. Even self-checkout tills in supermarkets do this. For example, you touch a button on the screen, and it changes colour briefly, seemingly to indicate that the button press has been registered, but then nothing happens and you have to press the button again to get your receipt printed or whatever. This is the more common case, but sometimes with the same device you also have the button press taking effect without the visual feedback.

I think I observed full independence of feedback and effect with a physical button on a microwave oven: when you attempted to press the button you sometimes got a beep, and the time sometimes got incremented by 10 s, or perhaps 20 s, and sometimes you'd get both those things, and sometimes you'd get just one of them. It must take real skill to design an appliance with a physical button that "works" like that, but some genius engineer managed to do it. I hope that person never gets a job in the car industry.

There are domains where "end users care about data mutational elegance" because, you know what, they care about reliability in a very strong way (not like: hey the web site is down, let's call the devs; more like: there was a bug, let's call the morgue).

Just to say.

But I agree with you: if your work balance is more oriented towards productivity then rust will not help much. For example, I design lots of stuff in python/jupyter/ecosystem first and then port that to rust for the speed and correctness.

I think one major plus compared to US is how easy it is to get around. The trains still run (at least weekend nights), and if you’re partying on a day they do not they start up fairly early, so partying til first train is alright.

That can include booting after an update and self tests, but yes, nothing about the component should take that anywhere near that long. We just needed a number to design the manufacturing workflow and assumed it was a reasonable ceiling. They simply don't want to do the (potential) optimization work as part of their initial contract if they somehow manage to exceed it.

Definition of lingua franca: "bridge language, common language, trade language, auxiliary language, vehicular language"

And it does not mean French, but Frankisch tongue. And by the definition this phrase means "language systematically used to make communication possible between groups of people who do not share a native language" - which is English nowadays, at least in the Western Hemisphere.

In this current situation I would google “neat css <some rare problem I was not able to resolve myself>” expecting it show me SO answers or reddit discussions.

It's to prevent CSRF attacks. The attacker writes their own client and does half of a login on their own end (getting an authorization-code, but not yet exchanging it for an access-token), and then tricks the end-user to navigate to //service/connect-slack-finalize?code=<attackers-code>&state=<whatever>. But with the state parameter, the client can check the state parameter against a session cookie that it set previously, and say "wait a minute, this is the conclusion of a login from a different browser". Depending on what all session-state the client is keeping track of, it may make sense to sign that state-parameter-nonce to avoid having to remember session state server-side; but the simple case would be to just check whether it == a cookie value.

> Physical buttons cleanly resolve all of these major problems

> Given that with a physical button you didn't have to take your eyes off the road and given the tactile feedback you know for sure you activated/pressed/moved the control

I never understand the "you don't have to look at buttons" argument—my car has lots of physical buttons and to push them, I briefly have to look at the console, find the button, and press it.

If a touch screen interface were properly designed with large enough touch affordances and the correct levels of responsiveness, I'd be just as happy with that as I would a big dashboard full of buttons.

For me, when things get dangerous, its when pressing the button (physical or touch) doesn't do what its suppose to do.
> I checked with some Google friends who told me their contract even makes it illegal to tell anyone that they work for Google (no joke).

Which country are they in? Is their employment contract directly with Google, or with some other, independent company that provides services to Google?

(I've been employed by G in multiple jurisdictions and have never seen or heard of such a clause.)
Any controls that's not on the steering wheel is a distraction. If there are very few buttons or dials for very simple/standard/common functions on the centre dash, that's okay. Anything more is definitely not safe to operate in a busy and fast moving traffic situations. All the touch-screen stuff is only safe to operate in very slow-moving traffic jam situations.
You think it's porn, many other people do not. I grew up in a hyper-conservative milieu where commercial porn was simply not available, everything I learned about sex came from books. I discovered the existence of sexuality through reading the Bible; I literally had no idea there was anything more complicated to life than moms and dads until I I happened across all these stories of people being killed for engaging in 'abominations'.

Magnetic poetry can 'facilitate porn use by minors'. I think you work toward a better-defined standard that doesn't pre-empt the rights of other people who don't share your point of view.

Cadnano – designing three-dimensional DNA origami nanostructures
I find that the in-built systems are all horrendous and designers create lots of inefficient designs so they look good in the marketing video but are a pain to use.

I have a Toyota and when I want to change the audio source I have to press 'Source' and then it displays a carousel of inputs that I have to scroll through. Or I can press the 'All' button and it displays a neat grid with the options laid out, why not just show me the grid? That's quick and efficient, the current setup is not.

I agree about buttons, if we try and control computers with a button, we will end up with lots of buttons a la 90s ICE system, or a simple interface with mystery button syndrome where you are looking at a screen to see what your button is going to do next.

I personally think that this leans on sensationalism but I'm curious as to what other ppl might think of it.
small specialized forum sites (like they were the norm in the days before big centralized social media) - much as I too prefer them to big centralized social networks - do have some big pain points though that are why they lost web share to big social media: isolation from other communities and user account/authentication.

In absence of an easy distributed authentication standard that just works everywhere without relying on centralized big social media accounts, what it really boils down to for the user is: the ugly need to register separately for each of these small specialized forum sites… and they all want to collect data e.g. email address. I've often found myself in the situation of thinking "nah, not worth it."

The fact that many such forums try to force casual passers-by to join with restrictions like "access to documents/images/files/whatever is restricted to registered users" only makes it worse. Makes me hate the site right away and even less likely to want to join.

In comparison, a centralized solution like reddit has the advantage that it lowers the barrier to joining and participating. Of course, that can in theory also be done in a non-centralized way, e.g. federated. But that comes with quite a set of other problems, some of which the article already mentioned for the mastodon case, both for the instance operators and for the users. And federation is much less common among small forum sites for auth than among mastodon/fediverse instances.

The tricky thing is that in my social context, the (liberal) white people are the ones encouraging minority kids to adopt an unhealthy, race conscious attitude. It puts me in the awkward position of having to emphasize race to gently remind my daughter that her dad and grandparents know way more about how to be brown in America than her teachers do.

By the way, “Uncle Tom” is too obvious. The new dog whistle is “pick me.”
egui is nice for internal tools, and for quickly creating UIs for games and such, but I don't think I'd ever release a consumer-facing app with it. It has too many quirks compared to a more "native" UI that it can be quite awkward to use interfaces made with it. I'm talking about things like inertial scrolling, text selection, window resizing, etc.

It's certainly nice to work with from a developer's perspective, what could be easier than

if ui.button("Say hello").clicked() {
println!("Hello!");
]

?

But it's quite a pain to style if you're particular about typography and pixel-perfect layouts. Between styling an egui app and styling something with CSS (or some flexbox/grid system), I'll take CSS every time.

Still looking forward to how Xilem turns out, and what people build on top of that.

Yes, here in Germany it's also one of the favorite platforms for extremists and not taking literal incitement to terrorism down is crazy.

Also Telegram's tactic of non-compliance and operating out of Dubai and being borderline unreachable just isn't acceptable for a company with 700 million users. Companies are still subject to the law and they can go to a court if they have an objection. But this cat and mouse game with authorities needs to be shut down much more aggressively.
It's not just two 2D images since there is a lens that emulates depth. On current headsets it's a static depth, but in the future it could be made dynamic by adjusting the optics on the fly based off the depth of what you are looking at. Outside of VR there are also light field displays which take more that just 2 images and output light such that multiple observers can see the name object, but from different angles.

I now what you probably mean when you say "free", that you don't have to pay for it, but in reality, the universities are paid by everyone. Same for health care. I pay 400 euros per month. Of course, then I don't pay much else. But the cost is distributed, they are not "free". Maybe I am sensitive to the word, because in my home country, Argentina, populism has made people believe that everything has to be "free".

As a long time expat living in Berlin, it's actually a nice place to live. The city actually has some charm compared to other cities in Germany and it's never boring here. I've spent some time in Munich as well and that caused me to seriously wonder what else there was to do after a few weeks. Not an issue in Berlin. And I've been here for fourteen years.

German is completely optional here. I know that's not appreciated by the natives. But I don't actually deal with a lot of those. Almost everyone I know in Berlin is from outside Berlin. And that includes most Germans. A lot of those move to Berlin for many of the same reasons that foreigners do that. I do meet actual real Berliners once in a while and by and large they are actually quite friendly. But the fact is that they are a minority in this city.
> - the controls on my stove top

How were these stove-top touch-buttons ever considered an upgrade to their predecessor? They always have no feedback, or that annoyingly high "beep" feedback. They are always slow to respond. They typically use only two or three buttons to control the actual temperature, forcing you to select location first, which is typically slow and terrible as well. Nobody in their right mind can prefer these to the good old separate knobs which we used to have; which my relatively new stove still has (they still exist luckily). I'll add a link to the one I have, for others looking for stove's without the annoying touch controls.

It depends on where you are and what you're doing in the city. After a long enough time here, that lack of German starts to stunt or limit you to a degree. You'll end up in the same types of places with the same groups of people. Getting colleagues and friends to call places or answer letters or emails for you, or just stumbling along in broken German.
