The rate at which AI is accelerating seems the same as other big inventions. Some examples: - Tim invented the WWW in 1989, but I'd took until around 2000 (10 years) to go to the web we now know with Streaming and Social Media. - The f

Tesla was THE company that started the EV-revolution, while VW was actively manipulating emission data. I don't like Elon and his politics, but I'm very grateful for Tesla to have shaken up the car industry. Everyone is better f

I’m Belgium it was Dutroux. It changed everything and is a cross generational trauma that still has its effects.

Yes. There were no families before carriages… /s A carless society/city is way more family-oriented.

problem is that when you are really in deep, you are not able to make that phone call. It is good advice to always take someone with you. It is like saying: more experienced bikers don't need to wear helmet. Yes, 99.99% of the time t

For HTML, you can probably do the following: <span aria-label="my text">𖢑ꚲ 𖢧𖤟𖤗𖢧</span>

I did not mind this linearity in Half-Life, because the story was engaging. You wanted to know what happened next. And I found the enemies did had some advanced "AI" for that time; like the first time the commandos came was a big

It’s about using the right tools for the job. FAANG and developer advocates made the web needlessly complex for most people. The over-engineered tools and frameworks became the “default” way of programming for the web, loosing some strong k

Not so sure about that. You can easily write horrible code in React: Too complex, inefficient, and/or resource-intensive. If you don’t know the tools and have good theoretical programming knowledge, all code will be spaghetti code in

The European Union doesn't like when a file get too big and powerful. It needs to be broken apart in order to give smaller files a chance of success.

ShadowDOM, and by extension web components are great for providing an extended set of HTML ‘native’ components. Let’s say your company has multiple frontend SPAs with different technologies (angular, react, svelte,…) they could all use the

With webcomponents you are pretty close to the “metal”. If you know how to write good vanilla JavaScript, you can take most of that knowledge into webcomponents. You only need to learn the custom components lifecycle, and shadowDOM, which i

I think the (interesting) output we see as the different UI is a side-effect of the actual research mentioned at the end of the video: how can we teach everyone how to do spatial programming, just like we teach everyone to write and calcula

I don’t even think that saying stupid and shallow comments speaks to the person who said it. Don’t we all say stupid and shallow things every day? It takes serious effort to filter thoughts in such a calculated way so it’s always the “perfe

Why not? Isn’t it just a smart implementation of ligatures?

What’s killer about that? I order food once every 2 weeks, I like to browse the different options myself. Almost all the ‘killer’ AI functions are already here: smarter photo retouching, auto-replies, searching, and text summaries with some

Multidisciplinary teams wont work either because inevitably power and politics come into play. I’ve seen it happen every so many times.

You do remember the dotcom bubble, right? :D Something can change the world, but still be a bubble. They are promising AGI, super intelligence or the singularity in less than 10 years. That's the bubble.

Counterpoint: no semantics is better than wrong semantics. If a screenreader thinks your layout is a (data)table, it makes your visually impaired users sad.

Most of our software is bland because it is about practicality and functionality. A UI should do a lot more things than to be expressive. Being expressive is very low on the list. Reliability, accessibility and recognisability are very high

The "Reconsider Travel" badge has nothing to do with the nature of the large majority of people in a country. They can be as warm and welcoming as they want. But it's about the risk of terrorism, kidnapping and theft. Sadl

I agree. I did not mean to say: “all life is meaningless “, but more that the green/ecological imagery of ‘mother nature’ that cares for you and needs caring was changed for me. Life itself can be a terrifying force. That the individu

That’s a nihilist statement though. :p I was just outing my experience, no need to get that riled up.

I do think my vitamins cause me to have less small sicknesses, or make them less worse. Like, less common colds etc.

Once I had this vision in a strong ayahuasca trip... I met "Mother Nature", but it wasn't the feminine caring image you'd think of. It was an unstoppable force of life that did not had any caring of right or wrong. It on

The Lumia phones were great. The first iterations of the OS tried to integrate 3rd party services deeply into the OS. (News, Social, Mail, Calendar aggregations) But the service-providers did not like that because: no advertising possibili

I must say: things from H&M hm have regularly been holding up longer than other way more expensive brands. Sometimes they don’t really fit right anymore, but no holes or stitches that come loose.

Why? When developing standards it's very good to have good gatekeepers. Not everything should be built inside the browser if you can achieve the same with existing technologies like JS. Otherwise your browser(standards) might become
