If you are interested in TypeScript for the browser, you might also like --erasableSyntaxOnly option of typescript >5.8. The only tool needed for it is the typescript compiler itself, so toolchain is kept to a minimum.

Bruno Latour’s "The Pasteurization of France" is about Louis Pasteur and the creation and success of germ theory. It does explain it not by focussing on Pasteur per se, but by showing how different groups of people adapted it for

> Not because I think it's helping him in the long run, but because it could help him feel better now. Very much this: The long run is vague, and the only sure thing is that we will be dead. But this is a small thing one can do now

These examples (dogs,cars...) are badly used in most programming books, but they can make sense if you show them in context of a small game or whatever else actually draws you an (inter) active virtual car or animal (which made OOP click fo

For learning about the basics of statistics, my go-to resource is "Discovering Statistics using [R/SPSS]" (Andy Field). "Improving Your Statistical Inferences" (Daniel Lakens) needs some basics, but covers a lot of

You could ask for feedback on https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/ where quite some UX designers in open source projects hang out. I personally remember nokias flowella fondly, but I do not know if it does the same as wi

Since some comments point out that the design looks old: I agree. However, the framework’s author describes the usecase as building simple UIs for what otherwise would be used via the command line or for building UIs for cases when people c

I also throught of ART as a fork of RawTherapee, also forked with the aim to make it easier to use. I wondered if that is something hard to avoid: Over time features get added, usability worsens. This might be general, but it could apply to

Yes, I loved that, too. More abstract, also short, no pressure: Proteus.

This is very similar to what Grudin suggests in his HCI history "From tool to partner": Apple used to be very usability and research focussed in the 80s and early 90s, but turned away from it with Jobs and went more look-driven —

David Graeber on "Tyranny of Structurelessness": "[Many] completely misread Freeman’s essay, and interpret it not as a plea for formal mechanisms to ensure equality, but as a plea for more transparent hierarchy."

Yes, that section seemed to be a bit incoherent to me. However, it was only a brief comment, not even on data science rather but rather the strong confidence in a picking-the-winning version idea of design via A/B tests.
