Just making sure you’re aware of the size of California and New York. Yes - has a small chunk of very affluent residents, but also huge populations, loads of people living well below the poverty line, high percentage of undocumented workers (also likely living below the poverty line), and a huge mix of both urban and rural populations. Those rankings don’t strike me at all as odd.

That’s complete rubbish. What of the sushi chef who has no knowledge or experience with French cuisine or someone who has mastered how to make a great taco? Would you not consider them masters of their craft, because I sure would.

This illustrates well why QR codes shouldn’t be a thing used in advertising (especially outdoor). It’s like picking up a random cup in a public place and drinking the contents.

This headline brought to you by the marketing department.

Being indebted to Elon and the Orange Administration. Probably not the best solution to a problem like this.

Moss used it in IT Crowd. That’s where I heard it first, and then looked up the origin.

A Trump cabinet member doing the same? Not even a slap on the wrist.

Also Snow Crash, the US consisting of many large, corpo-owned city states (also being discussed in the current news with techbros trying to start up their own self-regulated cities).

PeopleSoft?

So they wouldn’t put the power button on the back of the latest Mini, but they did on the Studio? That’s frustrating (yes, minor nit).

Am I old and grumpy or does that kinda go against the whole point of AoC? A daily challenge for your brain, not your prompt writing abilities.

Accurate. They are literally middle men taking a cut without offering anything to the process. Switch to single payer, dump the middlemen, and have our taxes pay for essential services (keeping us alive and healthy). Seems simple enough but…

Yep. Easy to come across in SoCal at least, but go into any Asian market and you’ll see a whole shelf full of Ramune and other variant brands of that soda with that bottle. Kiddos love them.

I feel the same way about “UX Designer/Engineer”. Seems to mean someone who can put a wireframe together but has no design chops. Any good designer that has experience crafting user interfaces should be skilled at thinking through in-depth about what the user is doing when using the product and how to successfully guide them through that process.

With all the drama in the platform right now (caused by one of the creators), I would suggest that anyone that isn’t already deeply invested in it for whatever reason to not start now. Its future is a big question mark right now and I’m unable to recommend it as a stable solution to anyone anymore.

Easy enough to replace icons just doing a get info and a copy/paste, but will this app handle auto-replacing the icon again after an app update? Example: I dislike the stock VSCode icon, so I found another icon that I like better and replaced it. Easy peasy. However, every time there is an app update, that icon gets wiped out. If this app solves that, I’d gladly pay for it.

Similar thing has happened to me. Close to a year ago, it was decided that my old manager had too many direct reports, so our group was split into 2. I was asked by my manager if I wanted to apply to manage the new team, which I was not enthusiastic about. I had considered it and weighed my options:

1. Known quality of life and work decrease for having to focus on middle management tasks instead of getting my hands dirty.

2. Big gamble on not knowing what kind of manager we might get.

So, I declined and gambled on a new manager. So far, this has gone terribly. Our group morale and productivity is super low as we now have a petty micromanager with no technical skills a technical team. They insert themselves into our processes with no knowledge of how any of it works, demand that they are cc’d on all communications with any manager or above, and complain when we disagree with their opinions, calling that disagreement disrespectful.

I have been looking at job boards just about every day since.

I like many of the decisions/opinions in this. Will dig into it more possibly on a future project.

Agree - this is why I believe the notion of “UX being a discipline” is nonsense. A good designer should be informing all of their decisions with the goal of crafting the best possible user experience. Otherwise, a designer is just being relegated to “make this look pretty,” just like a developer or engineer might be told to “code monkey this solution that I have dreamed up.”

I’m on a 2017 iMac 27” and the hardware issues aside, I’m also not upgrading yet because they got rid of decent screen sizes. Other than money/profit - why don’t they make a 27” anymore? Frustrating.
