I kinda wish car reviews had paid a lot more attention to the UI/UX of actually using a car through the early 2000’s to now as opposed to just how much it made vroom vroom. All cars do that. Not every car smoothly connects to your phone when you start it up every morning, or remembers the settings you set last time or doesn’t have some sort of crazy proprietary connector. These are the things you actually do hundreds/thousands of times in the life of owning a car and those daily frustrations have been ignored forever by reviewers over how much they can fellate the car’s driving capabilities (long after nearly every car on the road drives well enough to pay attention to other aspects of ownership)

tylenol?

I am old enough that the term would make me uncomfortable to use, yeah. Imagine my surprise when all the Linux vids use it.

holy crap without the range extender, that’s incredible

omg no more late night show for you

Yeah, I don’t think he knew his name was in there, but this appears to be correspondence about him, not a detailed log of him coming and going or fifteen ways to get in touch with him or tons of video of them chumming it up or sending a wink wink little birthday card. I read the headline yesterday and my BS detector went off because he wouldn’t have said Trump was in the Epstein files if he was also in the Epstein files (in that way).

Jesus fucking christ we have the stupidest leadership possible. At least 20 years ago they weren’t inviting the Nigerian prince scammers to state dinners.

This comic is routinely terrible trash.

I’ve worked with so many people like this, they are afraid of code (I used to be afraid of code too)

Mate, Australia’s listening

Yes, because I was talking to the other person who’s been all over this thread talking about their specific experience.

Are you the person (alt) I was asking this of?

That’s not what I’m asking. You designed or built something for some users. They didn’t like it, or didn’t use it as you expected. Was your response to change the software or blame the users for not using it correctly?

In all your software deployments did you blame the users for not getting it or did you redesign the software because it sucked (according to your users)?

After being out of being a direct practitioner, I will say all my direct reports are “faster” in programs we use at work than I am, but I’m still waaaaaaaaaay more efficient than all of them (their inefficiencies drive me crazy actually), but I’ve also taken up a lot of development to keep my mind sharp. If I only had my team to manage and not my own personal projects, I could really see regressing a lot.

Adobe sucks balls as a company but, my man…

if only we could all be big brains like you tranes.

Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff. Actually now that I think about it my grandma was mean at Burger Time back in the day.

and retire gracefully, where the device becomes open source and available to the community of owners who have invested in it.

I want to toss in for consideration the creative committee that came up with the “Houston Texans”
