Agreed, but fortunately you rarely see them on desktop, or else it's a hamburger icon that actually toggles a whole sidebar (e.g. Gmail, but I wish they would use a different icon).

I think most designers are developers are aware that hamburger menus are a mobile thing.

Of course sometimes there aren't enough dev resources to do both mobile and desktop and the desktop site is just an embiggened mobile version, with hamburger. But that's resource constraints.

Glad I hopped into this thread while your comment was recent enough to be at the top. This is super interesting!

My 80+ mom still doesn't get hamburger menus in e.g. bank apps even though I've explained them a few times. They are obviously a discoverability fail.

Meanwhile she's surprisingly proficent at using Google and the mobile web non-logged in/preview version of Facebook to read gossip from the village she lives in, sometimes in very creative ways due to limitations FB put up for anonymous browsers. (She refuses to get a Facebook account.)

No undiscoverable hamburger menus involved in the navigation sequence above. I think Google and FB get it.
This is the way. Did people forget you could do this, with the advent of online sales? It costs nothing more, it helps the store stay open, and it's one less sale for Amazon.
That's not the way things are done in the west. Lacking absolute rule, you need to achieve similar things with a little more subtlety.

Media, who loved him for decades, can suddenly start covering his every action as if describing the leader of the Axis in WWII. Suddenly his associates might start to get investigated for things all sides in DC did since time immemorial with impunity. Experts might appear day and night on TV to give a psychological assessment of him. Some high standing people might openly advocate for his elimination. Government agencies might join the "good fight". Mere tech corporations might decide to ban his (the active President's) account.

Others might pay some hack to come up with a bogus document binder hack job, a dossier if you will, that will feature day and night on the news. And inversely, his opponent's son might be news gold, be involved in all kinds of shady dealings, and even lose a certain computing device, and they're not covered, lest their parent is harmed.

Or let's say another billionaire lacks the good taste to not antagonize the consensus of the elites and their lapdogs in the aspirational classes. Perhaps their glowing "let's all kiss the ass of the billionaire tech god" coverage changes overnight...

Alright, calm down Mr. Pink.
No it's not. Honestly, the fact that this website displays like shit without JavaScript enabled is ironic considering it uses HTMX.

Please just use the damn full-stack JS frameworks, they make life simpler, just wait for WebAssembly to allow us to have full-stack Rust/Go/whatever frameworks, and then you can abandon JavaScript, otherwise you get the mess of websites like this one where the developer has not written JavaScript, but the website still needs it for me to be able to read a _damn blog post_.

Otherwise, stick with RoR, Django, Laravel, or whatever ticks your fancies, but HTMX just ain't for everyone and everything, it's supposed to be used for hypermedia, not for web apps or anything else, just that: hypermedia.

And no, JavaScript libraries aren't all "complicated" and "full of churn", React is. Stop using React, or otherwise accept the nature of its development, and stop complaining. There are hundreds of different JavaScript libraries and yet every single time I see people bashing on full stack JavaScript they just keep repeating "React" like it's the only library in the world and the only way developers have written code for the last decade.

Also, tangentially related, can we as an industry stop acting like kids and stop following these "trends"? The author talks about a "SPA-craze" but what I've been seeing more and more now is the contrary movement, however it's based on the same idea of a hype cycle, with developers adopting technology because it's cool or whatever and not really considering what are their actual needs and which tools will provide them with that.

Rant over.

SpaceX was nearly bankrupt when NASA awarded them $1.6 Billion to deliver cargo to the ISS, saving the company when it only had one successful launch. Then later on for the commercial crew program they selected SpaceX along with the (then perceived to be) safer bet of Boeing. Not to mention all of the other launches SpaceX has done for NASA or other government organizations.
This may be controversial, but I think the company who hired the salesmen/employees should pay them.

> reducing carbon seems like it should be a much lower priority compared to how hard its pushed

I'm not sure what you mean. The last 50 years (and even 5) have been far more bark than bite.

> incoming nuclear fusion would alleviate a ton of our carbon issues

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I worked on nuclear in a previous career and still have friends there, including fusion (including the big labs). Being bullish, fusion net gain is still 10 years away. It'll take decades to add to the energy portfolio after that. The case for fusion is worse than the case for fission. We should work on both, but we can't hold out for future technologies (we can say the same about storage). We needed to act decades ago, pushing it off by a few more decades is not going to solve the issue, it is repeating the same mistakes.

> fleshed out cost-benefit analysis

I wouldn't trust any of these. Zero of them. You need to have a pretty good understanding of these systems (highly complex) to even understand if the analyses are good. Every single one has a bias and is highly politicized. The more politicized a topic is, the higher level of expertise you need to understand who is telling the truth (politicization adds large amounts of noise).

> Decoupling the client and server means they can be separate teams with clearly definied roles and responsibilities

How desirable this is depends on the UI complexity.

Complex UIs as the ones built by google and facebook will most likely benefit from that.

Small shops building CRUD applications probably won't. On the contrary: the user requirements often cross-cut client and server-side code, and separating these in two teams adds communication overhead, at the best of the hypotheses.

Moreover, experience shows that such separation/specialization leads to bloated UIs in what would otherwise be simple applications -- too many solutions looking for problems in the client-side space.

A standing army is nonviolent. Proof of work is proof of violence, not the capability of violence.
I take pride in making my websites accessible for everyone regardless of the monetary incentive to do so, and to make inaccessible websites simply because you don't think there's money in it is very shameful.

Not saying that hamburger menus can or cannot be accessible; just saying that, as an engineer, you really have an obligation to make something that is accessible. This is a basic, non-negotiable requirement for all software.
Nah my insurance company will. They'll bleed me slow instead of all at once :)
> It performs the same role as a standing army except it does it non-violently.

It does so at the cost of enormous amounts of pollution. Sure it's non-violent, but it's still disastrously wasteful and after well more than a decade hasn't proven to really be anything more than a way for speculators to get rich off other speculators.
> Should it be based on user research? Why? What are the advantages of basing decisions on user research?

No. Not at all. Users are the suckers who shall know from the birth what a hamburger menu presents to them. They shall have special religious skills to ask the deity what a GUI element represents: a label, a menu, a link. They shall be punished with 1 px borders on 4k screens. The windows are not meant to be resized.

It's certainly a Rust thing, and definitely a part of the appeal.

CUE's validation is very strong, as long as you're ok with some level of functional programming and immutability.

> C, C++, Bash, and Perl

While I agree with your comment, lumping these together somehow doesn't seem fair. As for C and C++, it took decades to develop package managers, and we can't still say we have standard ones (but I feel Conan is a de facto standard PM for C++).

Bash, on the other hand, should never have 'batteries included' because in this case the batteries are the rest of the system - coreutils and the rest. An Perl had CPAN quite early on, in the early nineties iirc.

Let me play devils advocate though. Right now nuclear provides 10% of the world’s power. Now since it was first deployed in the 70’s there have been at least 3 major accidents I can think of: Fukushima, Chernobyl, and 3 mile island. So that’s one every 15 years, roughly.

The naive math behind that suggests that if we were to increase the number of power plants by a factor of 10 to supply all the world’s power, we should expect the rate of accidents to increase proportionally. So that’s a Fukushima somewhere in the world every 1.5 years or 18 months. And a bad one of those accidents could spread radiation across an entire continent.

Changes the risk/reward calculation, doesn’t it?
I guess my point- which I think we're mostly in agreement with- is that the trilogy was really complex, rather than being "humans stupid" or "humans bad" (or even "humans good").

I am a very happy, frequent customer and hope they keep adding coverage and more cars. This is absolutely the future I want to live in.
Depends on the researchers. Mathematicians might mind, but I am going to guess (assuming there was a plan in place to make sure they didn't wind up on the street) climate researchers wouldn't mind being made obsolete tomorrow.

It's probably more of a mixed bag.

Self-driving car fleets probably increase suburbization in the same way that trains created suburbs long ago.

Depending on how it breaks out, "more space per person at similar total environmental impact" is a quality of life win but not a climate-change-fighting one.

Pedestrian safety and other externalities are probably a big win, still.
Yes. That's what I found most impressive. Incredible.
> I bet those stats are tea tea, not counting herbal tea.

I think you're right. There is a table showing the popularity breakdown of the different types of tea, including herbal, but I think that's the global breakdown, not US.

It didn't provide a stat for it, but the page does remark that the majority of black tea consumed in the US goes to making iced tea.
I agree on them being confusing, but to be clear that's not copying a hamburger menu.

That sounds like it's copying what are often called "handles", "grab handles" or "drag handles" in UX -- the close-together lines or dots in UX elements that indicate something can be dragged, a friction surface you can hold on to [1]. They mimic the grooves on a plastic cover for the battery compartment of a remote control, for example.

But those are universally understood to indicate sliding, and should never be used for push/pull. That's literally what "door push plates" are for [2].

I'm not sure how philosophers of science demarcate hypotheses from theories, but my own feeling that this is a theory. It is infallible, like Euclidean geometry. It can be falsified, but I think it can adapt to falsification attempts. Or it can detach itself from Real, it can go platonic, like Euclidean geometry does, and to speak about Ideal, like points, lines, planes and other objects that are not real. So it is more than a hypothesis, that to my mind must be falsifiable.
Also if you have oodles of money then creating a problem for everyone instead of solving a problem for everyone appears to be a viable strategy.

The presence of a handful of scandals with huge settlements does not need that we need more FDA.

We need less. Much less. At the very least we need to separate the concept of it being legal for doctors to prescribe a drug and mandatory for insurance to pay for a drug.

Right this minute, hundreds or thousands people are actively suffering and dying from rare diseases because it's ludicrously expensive to bring new medicines to market. We place blame - we file lawsuits - on someone who sells a drug that doesn't work or that causes harmful side effects, but we sag our shoulders and shake our fist at the uncaring universe when someone dies of a disease that wasn't worth $200,000,000 to force a guaranteed-safe treatment through FDA approval.

A medical review and approval process that must never, ever allow a single bad outcome through on pain of terrible, multi-billion-dollar scandals is guaranteed to cause bad outcomes, because not allowing good things to be approved is a bad outcome.

Minor clarification: there's a difference between a "panic" (which may either unwind or abort, based on compilation flags) and a "guaranteed abort" (which is not negotiable). Array-index-out-of-bounds is merely a panic, as are almost all "unrecoverable errors" in Rust. Things that are guaranteed to abort are rare in Rust; I can only think of stack overflows, and OOM for certain stdlib types.
