How I tricked iOS into giving me EU DMA features https://adamdemasi.com/2024/04/20/ios-eligibility.html - not especially useful as a phone, but useful if you are not in EU but would quite like to test how your EU customers get your apps from alt app stores, web etc.
Why do marketing people get so obsessed about time someone spends on a page (with the assumption that longer=better because 'engagement')? Good IA should mean users find what they want quickly; good UX means quick ordering. Good copywriting means quick comprehension, doesn't it?
@brucelawson@craiggrannell Literally been explaining this to clients since the mid-/late ’90s. I’ve long-since stripped all traces of Google Analytics out of my own sites, and only install it on clients sites when they explicitly request it. Few ever do.
In standup, and the boss mentioned an article called The Dao of Web Design, written by some wunderkind named @johnallsopp. This article tells you all you need to know about React and Tailwind! https://alistapart.com/article/dao/
@brucelawson "yes, masonry, however impl, should exist. Photo albums would be a use case I would put this too. Non-symetric would be nice to have because of a mix of aspect ratio."
More proof that Maths is bullshit: factorial of n is " the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n", yet factorial of zero = 1?!? Piss off, Pythagoras
@brucelawson@mensrea 🤔hmm.. Do you know how i can contact Big Maths? Maybe they'd be willing to fund work on MathML in the browsers, since Big Browsers don't?
@brucelawson I have yet to hear any actual explanation from politicians why we should be "standing by Israel" in the manner we are. Beyond "because we historically do".
Sure looks to me like the majority of the UK and US population do not want to support what we see as clear and obvious genocide of the Palestinian people; and that Israel is very clearly the unhinged agressor we are arming to the teeth.
Whereas Ukraine, the public DO want to support... but we are not anymore. Right.
I was asked by my boss to evaluate a couple of hosted content editors. One never answered my Qs about their accessibility. @cloudcannon asked me to speak to their team and explain some of the gaps, and they've really run with it. So this blog post about their efforts to up their accessibility really cheered my wizened shrivelled remnants of a heart. https://cloudcannon.com/blog/how-we-build-cloudcannon-for-accessibility/
I'm going to venture a potentially unpopular opinion and suggest that Elrond Muff might not be the genius businessman some people believe him to be. He's definitely no Donald Trump, at any rate.
