Amazon unveils a Fire TV UI redesign with rounded corners, 20 app slots, and Alexa integration, and launches $899 Ember Artline TV series with colorful frames (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

I suppose it was inevitable that people would make #EpsteinFiles in an appropriate and approachable UX/UI.
the team behind material for mkdocs have built a new static site generator
i open their webpage and it lags my entire pc with, i think, this background animation of "moving lines". taking a screenshot took several seconds and chromium stopped rendering the ui at one point
any idiot can make an efficient static site. it takes pure brilliance to make it inefficient (why does it need 1 GB of GPU memory?!)

I just checked out the new #magicearth update and while I prefer the older ui they did fix the map so it actually respects my option to use 2d map instead of 3d one.
But I don't know how I feel about the update and I might consider switching if I don't like it. Might just get used to it
Remember when you could move your mouse pointer and click on something without fear that part in the UI would update dynamically (because it's super slow), making the elements jump around, and you didn't constantly risk clicking the wrong thing?
That was cool.
Objectively, the software development industry has failed to roll out LLMs as a product. Having to "choose the right model” is a failure (regardless of where you are on the AI hype train).
Imagine walking into a restaurant and having to source your own food, cook, set the table, and wait on yourself.
Je ne comprends absolument pas comment fonctionne l'UI de base de Mastodon (sur piaille.fr dans mon cas) quand il s'agit d'afficher un aperçu pour les liens présents dans le toot.
La logique voudrait que ce soit le premier lien présent. Mais si je mets un lien plus loin dans le message vers un autre toot, alors celui-ci semble prendre la précédence, et du coup ça fait un aperçu de l'autre toot plutôt que du lien que je souhaite mettre en avant.
Bref, ça fait deux …

…sometimes there’s •not• a clear standard way. Sometimes you need flexibility. For example, a lot of what makes UI programming hard is layout: you have to make your own very specific application look good on a variety of devices and screens, which means coming up with an •algorithm• for adjusting your design for all those different contexts.
That’s an intrinsically hard problem that requires design chops and nuance and contextual knowledge. Attempts to abstract the decisions out of that problem have been stubbornly unsuccessful. (How many layout engines are out there now?)

I have not updated my main Mac to the new OS. I have updated my laptop, and regret it. I am concerned about security updates but I believe Apple provides security updates for not-too-old versions.
This UI, though, I just do not feel comfortable with it. I am hoping I can skip this major version and that the next one will be more in line with Apple's historical attention to getting UIs right.
Please don't respond with discussion about the UI, but: please do respond if I am making a security mistake by holding off on the update.
Hey, #UX #UI people: if I have cascading list boxes i.e. where the values for box 2 depend on what is chosen for box 1 - and for some values of box1 there is ONLY one value for box2.. is there some design principle that would suggest defaulting to a null value for box2 is preferable to preselecting the ONLY value available?

…crucially, I’d argue that (2) is •not• the only cause of (1): narrowing the problem space was not the only thing Hypercard did that lowered the barrier to entry. There have been other tools that also aggressively narrowed the problem space yet did not catch on the way Hypercard did.
Narrowing the class of problems is •part• of Hypercard’s barrier-removing success, to be sure! For example, I mentioned UI layout upthread. Hypercard stacks aren’t resizable. Layout involved absolute positioning, end of story (mostly).

Accidentally clicked the update thingy on the work laptop so now I have the MacOS version everyone hates.

One of the best innovations in personal computers has been the rise of scalable UI. Everyone now expects to be able to zoom something to make it larger, or for higher density displays to work correctly and be clearer. That was unthinkable 15 years ago.

Still, there are some other things Hypercard did we’d do well to study, even with full-scale tools. Off the top of my head:
- It richly rewarded unguided exploration. Unsuccessful experimentation had a way of leading to paths forward, not just dead ends.
- Much of it worked by direct manipulation: if you want the thing there, you put the thing there. (Unity and Godot both sort of kind of do some descendant of this, but not with the same discoverability and transparency.)
- There was a rich library of good starting points, modifiable examples.
- An empty but functioning new project had essentially zero boilerplate. You didn’t have to have 15 files and hundreds of lines of code to get a blank page.
- Its UI made it easy-ish for newcomers to ask “What can I do with this thing here?” Modern autocomplete and inline docs kind of sort of approximate this, but in practice only for people who already have tool expertise.
- HyperTalk (the programming language) is tricky to write (it’s a p-lang), but it’s remarkably easy to read. You can peer at it with very limited knowledge and make educated guesses about its semantics, and those guesses will be mostly correct. (HyperTalk syntax tends to get the most attention when people talk about this, I think at the expense of the other things above.)

“Tahoe is the worst regression in the entire history of MacOS. There are many reasons to prefer MacOS to any of its competition, but the one that has been the most consistent since System 1 in 1984 is the superiority of its user interface. There is nothing about Tahoe’s new UI that is better than its predecessor…. Fundamental principles of computer-human interaction — principles that Apple itself forged over decades — have been completely ignored.”

“Tahoe is the worst user interface update in the history of the Mac. Every change is either wrongheaded, poorly executed, or both. The Mac remains usable only because of Tahoe’s lack of ambition: it mostly alters the appearance and metrics of interface elements rather than making fundamental changes to the structure of the Mac UI. ....The bad ideas embodied in Tahoe reveal an Apple design team that has abandoned the most basic principles of human-computer interaction.”

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.
Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.
For some years now the UI design and interaction methods shown in sci-fi movies have become ever more abstract & complex, driven by minimalist aesthetics utilizing high-res graphics, a design philosophy based on total omniscient access, heavy information density and interactive realtime visualizations (and/or visual ways of browsing) to aid exploration & expose patterns/relationships, the use of layered/spatial layouts, capable of customization/personalization, programmability (of so…

Two screenshots of the lock screen on my iPhone 17 Pro whose difference confounds me. In one the contrast is good and I can read the numbers on the pad, but the time and battery status are hidden. In the other, the key pad is pretty much invisible but I can see the time and battery. I have no idea how to trigger the contrastier one; it just sometimes does this.
Is this phenomenon known? Explicable? It's as if the new UI is sometimes ashamed to show how unreadable it is and compensates before hiding again.
Somebody made this happen. Any idea why?
I spend a lot of my teaching life helping students learn to use Git, and I cannot emphasize enough how hostile the user experience of a merge conflict is for a new user. It looks like everything is broken. The terminology is crap. The verbiage is bamboozling. The default actions are all booby traps. The most important information is buried. The UI is terrible (both CLI and most GUIs). It’s incredibly easy to accidentally commit the conflict markers. It’s a nightmare.
