Most people aren't very discerning about user interface intricacies. Most people's reaction to the iOS 7 design disaster was: "ooh this feels like a whole new phone". So there's that.

Apple design nowadays should be something we point to and laugh at, not something to imitate. Apple lost the plot on design after Steve Jobs died and Jony Ive assumed full control. It's not Jony Ive's fault. That's the natur

I don't know much about Gemini beyond a cursory look, but I don't think inline media is impossible. IIUC it is up to the Gemini client to decide if it displays media inline. My understanding is that Gemini clients don't disp

That's right, "in" works, but "count" and "of" don't. Here are some of my favorites: union funi funion fution (sounds like fussion) fu fuc fucton (as noted by a fellow commenter)

> It is not about 'looking and pushing' the button. > It's about stateful UI. Yes it is about 'looking and pushing' the button. And yes it's about stateful UI. Both can be true at the same time.

XML? That's so ... turn of the century. Thankfully the industry has mostly woken up from the collective nightmare that was XML. But apparently a few poor souls are still painfully asleep.

Absolutely. XML is rarely a good solution for any problem, and usually the worst. > I’d like to do the same for Android projects, but Google is hellbent on the XML usage if you’re building with Android Framework… For sure the Android AP

Java generics has got to be the least bang for the most buck in the entire history of programming languages. Turning the once clear API documentation of the entire standard library into an incomprehensible mess, for what? So you can av

Yep, it's almost always the mouse. Many people, developers included, use the mouse to point and click when they need to change the caret position while editing text. If you do enough of that, the amount of precisely controlled movemen

I've learned while raising my babies that making them laugh or cry can cure their hiccups. Crying is obviously not an attractive option for adults, but I suppose faking a laugh might do the trick.

XML is a huge abomination, period. But I don't think anyone is arguing that it's completely useless. It just hasn't earned it's current privileged position in the computing world. It got there on the coattail of the

Thanks for the link! That's truly surprising! I stand corrected. To quote two of the tweets: > Web browsing on the iPhone was always on the feature list, so WebKit would be there, and the editing code came along with it. We neede

I don't believe this is true. Where did you get that impression? Do you have a source? A WebView may or may not be great for text editing, but it'd definitely be overkill for simple text input. The first iPhone was severely reso

To me it's the exact opposite, OpenLook was just UGLY . CDE/Motif didn't look that great either, but it was at least serviceable. It's very telling that no one at Sun would look at OpenLook and recognize it as ugly. S

Thank you! This tip may just be the cure. But I shouldn't need to know this, pip should have taken care of picking the best download mirror. Or it could just support resuming a previous download. I don't actually mind waiting fo

Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely look into them. EDIT: And thanks for the tip from godmode2019. I upvoted you both. However, they don't change the fact that pip by default assumes a decent Internet connection, with its shor
