Readit NewsFor me, the first task would be to make absolutely sure that I block any apps designed by you. Such lack of empathy in your wording proves that you cannot possibly be a decent, half-decent, or even mediocre UI designer.
Best experience of my work history. Detouring into site structure, information design, and doing actual USABILITY (behind a 2 way mirror watching real people use your app) was amazing.
Jacob Nielson was blowhard even then. His "all links must be blue and underlined" mantra was tired even then. It takes a lot for me to say this, but his pedantry at the time puts peak Richard Stallman to shame!
They are apparently still dancing around the edges of this topic: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/clickable-elements/
Now older and wiser, candidly a lot of folks would be well served by default blue links, og html submit buttons and tables for layouts. A fair bit of modern UI is complete trash: it's the product of a designer and a product person putting the next bullet point on their resume.
If I were emperor of the world I’d make every consumer program pass a battery of tests that included demonstrating sufficient usability for a panel of users from a nursing home, a panel of users with sub-90 IQ who were in a stressful environment and trying to complete other tasks at the same time, blind users, deaf users, et c.
I expect the outcome would be a hell of a lot less twee “on brand” UI elements and a lot more leaning on proven design systems and frameworks, including fucking crucially for appearance. And also a lot less popping shit up on the screen without user interaction (omg those damn “look what’s new!” sorts of pop ups or focused tabs—congrats, some of your users are now totally lost)
* Collect together a bunch of metrics of each school. Eg. student test scores, parent satisfaction scores, number of police callouts to the school, number of leaks in the school roof. Also include metrics that aren't obviously good/bad: Number of acres of playgrounds, average tenure of staff, etc.
* Gather data of the success of past students, 30-50 years on. For example, employment rate, total earnings, percentage convicted, percentage in good health.
* Build a model to predict success metrics from the school metrics.
* To rate a school, go collect the school metrics, then run through the model to predict future success metrics. That is your rating.
Sure, such an approach has the correlation/causation problem. But this is self-correcting if schools try to optimize their scores as the models are rebuilt each year.
Which is effective. If you’re a parent trying to decide which schools you want your kids in, maps of where the money is and maps of school rankings are damn near interchangeable (mostly not for funding-related reasons, though). You could use either and come to similar conclusions.
And that other film appears to have had a box office under $1.4m, with a collection of basically nobody notable attached, including the director.
Well if you don't actually have IPv6, and you're turning off a broken ghost of IPv6, that's very reasonable.
But in that case it confuses people when you call that "turning off IPv6".
In other words: your scenario is identical to GP's except that someone is paying you to run your AC while you aren't at home, rather than just doing it because you can. The logical question is then to ask why they're paying you to run your AC, and that is the uncompelling part: it's not clear that we should be paying people to burn energy to crack hashes.
My cellular connection supports IPv6, but testing sites report it’s misconfigured in a bunch of ways. I don’t see problems in practice, though. But on my home network, it’s turned off.
Keep in mind, at least in the US a "business" is nothing more than a legal and tax entity. Lotta people talking immediately about "your startup will fail!". A "startup" is only one of many ways to do business, and more and more often I find it a smoke and mirrors way of doing things.
Nitpick, but this specific example, despite its place in pop culture, wasn't a case of a lawsuit-happy wacko. McDonalds screwed up, after being warned they were screwing up and failing to correct, and someone got badly hurt.
There is some merit to what I assume is your underlying argument, but the way you phrase it isn't helpful.
Our experience with software when that happens is sad for everyone but bad UI designers. For them, it’s justice.
