In my side of the agency world there are a lot of designers who design UX that aren't UX designers. A lot of them want started in print and expect pixel perfect designs/don't understand the need for breakpoints. We had a client who got on our case about a design being a half a pixel off. That sounds like a joke but it genuinely happened.

You can't imagine why it's wrong for him to sign an agreement undertaking to uphold their good name and not disclose confidential info, only to then go back on his word on both points here?

Signing into AWS API through OKTA using a SAML Identity Provider. Just the way it was implemented unfortunately. OKTA's API is okay for this sort of stuff, but they need a SAML Assertion API that doesn't require scraping HTML. Also it would be nice if their JSON formatting weren't so all over the place.

So it went:
OKTA Assertion -> OKTA SAML Assertion -> AWS STS Token

The believe all women phrase was stupid the moment it got uttered. Only extremists actually believe it. They should have said listen to all women but not believe everything blindly. Most people can get behind listening to victims when they come forward.

> Well, you can buy your own hardware and set it up with OpenStack and use it as a private cloud. Companies like Canonical or Redhat make a lot of money by providing software (mostly open source) to support exactly that use case.

Sure you can, but then who will diagnose and fix your hardware/OS interaction problems when you have parts from five vendors in the mix?

If you haven't lived through this, the answer is: nobody. Everyone points fingers at the other 4 and ignore your calls.

Back in the day you could buy a fully integrated system (from CPU to hardware to OS) from Sun or SGI or HP and you had a single company to answer all the calls, so it was much better. Today you can't really get this level of integration and support anymore.

(Actually, you probably can from IBM, which is why they're still around. But I have no experience in the IBM universe.)

This is why Oxide is so exciting to me. I hope I can be in a company that becomes a customer at some point.

Thanks for saying so. I was a front-end developer for many years, and felt both the difficulty and the persistent lack of appreciation for that difficulty. I ended up quitting and just becoming a designer, because if I'm not going to get any respect, at least I shouldn't have to keep running on the treadmill of new technologies. I have also done back-end development, and it is certainly difficult in its own way, but for the money I'd rather work on that than the front end.

Having done all three, I have a mental model with two axes: appreciation and meddling. It might be appropriate to sketch it here.

With design, the result of your work ends up being visual, so you get a lot of appreciation for it. Maybe too much, sometimes. On the other hand, everyone has an opinion about how you could do your job better, and they're happy to stick their fingers into your work (because it's so easy, you know?).

With back-end development, nobody is going to meddle in your work except other engineers: by meddle, I mean step in and tell you how to do it better. That's because they don't know what you do at all. The other side of that opaqueness, though, is that you rarely get credit for good work. Stuff just works the way it should.

Front-end development is in between the two. People will give you credit when things work the way they should, and when they look nice, and so on. But, half the time when an application is "snappy" and performant, they'll credit the designer for it (ha ha). At the same time, they'll also tell you how things "should" work, based on how other applications do it. Meanwhile, you're stuck between what the designer approved, and what the back-end supports, and you're just doing your best to make it all work.

I'm surprised retailers like Whole Foods haven't added something like this to purchases made in store tied to an Amazon account. At the point of sale they have access to best-buy dates, etc (or could even add it during inventorying) and could use that data to alert you to restock with better granularity than sending a reminder based on your shopping trip frequency.

Polyurethane is one type of varnish so if you're going to contrast it you'll have to be more specific (phenolic resin or alkyd resin)

Usually oils would be combined with some other varnish, especially on a floor, because they offer nearly zero abrasion or water resistance. You'd think oil finishes like boiled linseed oil or tung oil would offer some water protection because of the oil but they don't. Better than wax or nothing but much worse than varnishes.

Apple is a horrible example, with Apple when you have a problem, you often end up with an unfixable issue that Apple won't even acknowledge. You definitely don't want to taint Oxide's reputation with that association.

As for why I think Helios will become customer facing: Oxide is a small startup. They have limited resources. Their computers expensive enough to be very much business critical. You'll get some support by Oxide logging in remotely to customer systems and digging around, but pretty soon the customer will want to do that themselves to monitor/troubleshoot the problems as they happen.

Imagine you're observing a recurring but rare I/O slowdown that seems to trigger under some certain conditions, and tell me a competent sysadmin wouldn't want to log in on all the related boxes (client Helios, >=3 server Helioses for the block store) and look at the logs & stats.
So it's been almost 11 years since the release of the previous title, New Super Mario Bros. U.

Mouri: Yes. While Super Mario Maker (7), Super Mario Maker 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe were released after the launch of the previous title, this is the first new 2D Mario game in almost 11 years.

I don't think "same game every year" is a fair characterization of what Nintendo is doing. They do the "yearly release" less than almost any major game company.

When living within any era, it is really hard to appreciate how much of the stuff we value (and what we don't) is just a cultural convention specific to that era (and with a high degree of arbitrariness).

People historically would routinely recycle anything of value and reusability. What has survived from previous times is more or less by accident (too bulky, too hidden etc.)

The idea of trying to preserve historical artifacts seems to be entirely modern, but even that concept has evolved alot. In the 19th century people did not think twice about mutilating and removing pieces to remote museums or "restoring" sites purely speculatively.
> They will also likely charge a significant premium over decoupled vendors

It seems like they're trying to hit a middle ground between cloud vendors and fully decoupled server equipment companies.

Using Oxide is likely cheaper over the life of the hardware than using a cloud vendor. A company who already has in-house expertise on running racks of systems may be less the target market here than people who want to do cloud computing but under their own control.

I'm not following. Science gives us good guidance on what works well or will let us achieve our goals, all the time. It's basically the whole point of doing it at all.

I took the poster as meaning UX that considers the results of, and perhaps even performs, actual user testing & observation, to decide what works and what doesn't. Like operating system vendors used to. I'll grant that "scientific" UX that's just incompetent (99% of the time) application of "telemetry" and A/B testing is awful. But that—and the other bad kind that's just trend-following, personal preference, and whatever will get the best reaction in a design presentation meeting full of non-experts—aren't what I understood as being advocated.

The good kind performs & pays attention to science.
It's defined twice in the article (the italic setup at the top, and footnote 1) - GP seems to by literally quoting (it's the same phrasing as the articles').

This seems both interesting and not; I'm just star stuff, as is this rock.

I'll take a stab at it:
Water wets things whose surfaces are tuned (across a spectrum) to vibrate with water.
Life arises when enough star-stuff is arranged in a way that self-propagates (and more, beyond what viruses do). This requires the relevant parts be resonant enough; not too hot or cold, proper pH, not too much radiation, etc.

Is this just a tautology?

While the question the article brings up is interesting, I don't think I'll be surprised by the answer, and I doubt it'll change anything about existence, except maybe we'll be able to animate a lump of elements like Dr. Frankenstein did in Mary Shelley's famous novel?
So many things! Opening a specific location or app or whatever with one keystroke is great, but I often also use it to run automations/macros done in AppleScript or something else with just a few keystrokes.

Extremely niche and nerdy example:
Years ago, when I used to do a ton of iOS screenshot galleries for app reviews (this was when I was a tech journalist), I used a modified KM script from Federico Viticci and Gabe Weatherhead that would let me select a group of screenshots, resize them as two or three side-by-side with proper spacing between and then resize for the requirements of the CMS/website I worked for with a hot-key combo. I could even have it name the file a certain way and save it to a specific folder I had setup to auto-upload images to the CMS and then copy the image link so I could use it in my Markdown workflow that I’d cobbled together to do previewing of stuff before I put the raw HTML code in said CMS. That example was the result of like several different macros/scripts that I combined into a couple of key commands, depending on if I wanted to just do the image merging/resizing or the whole upload/copy link thing.

I’m sure there could be other ways to do that, but none as seamless and intuitively as KM.

It’s just a great tool. Even if you just use it for basic text expansion, it’s great - though I tend to use other tools for that — but the automation stuff is just top notch.
> he may have been signaling scope creep... If it's not in the task, you don't do it. If you think it should be done, you backlog it...

Correct. Especially if you’re working for a client that’s billing by hour. Regardless, new work changes scope and blah blah agile. Yes it’s overhead, and it also creates a chain of who did what, and when.

Love that there is more accurate pre-trained CLIP model as it is a foundation for Stable Diffusion and many other very important open source models.

But, I would say that the main issue with CLIP is not performance, but that textual input is limited to 77 characters.

This is a severe limitations, if Meta or other company collected the dataset that allowed model with 1024 characters instead it would enrich the word of open source models much more than +2% accuracy.

My hope is that next person or company who works on that will invest into longer context size for text input :fingers_crossed:
It can?

> Over the years it's become clear to me that frontend is probably the hardest part of the stack.

I learned how hard frontend is when developing a browser-based game.

The backend code was simple and easy to test with unit tests.

Frontend though is a slog to write, and even greater slog to test.

I wonder how much better frontend would be if JavaScript wasn't the chosen language. It's just such a bad language in so many ways.
You made a very strong claim of Edge being objectively better. When I pointed Edge privacy issue you narrowed objectivity to 3 metrics of your choice. When another commenter said Edge is better in one of those, you stick with the remaining 2. Edge might be better at some things sure, but then we are very far off from Edge being "objectively" better, otherwise every MSFT product will be "objectively" better than competition since one can always chose 2 random metrics that favour one product over other.
I like having greater content area by default, and the text next to an icon in the Gmail Android app is nice too. (The spam button, with its explanation mark, could easily be mistaken for an important button otherwise.)

It's one of the reasons I prefer how Vim and VS Code look over Intellij and Visual Studio standard. Let me better see what I'm focusing on without distractions (the content) instead of shoving a gazillion buttons on your UI in the default view.

Edit: I was too harsh about Intellij I think. The old UI I was thinking of doesn't look bad in my opinion, but I still think I would have enjoyed my experience with Visual Studio more if it had a stronger focus on content (the code) visually.
