But isn’t the second half of the article the author pointing out a bunch of menu examples from macOS Tahoe where some items have icons and others don’t and still coming to the conclusion that it’s confusing? How is that not a contradiction of the prior declaration?
Yeah, that's a bit inconsistent. I think they are criticizing that it appears to be random which menu items have icons assigned, instead of (for example) giving all important or frequently used items an icon, or in some way that creates visual structure in the menu. Personally, what I find the most disconcerting in those examples is that the menu items aren't consistently inset.
Here is what I would think is a fairly good use of icons: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/imag...
The icons are positioned such that they introduce groups of menu items, and they create a visual structure that one learns to recognize with repeated use.
> no point in trusting people who are disconnect from reality
My brother in christ, we are all just names without bodies or even faces on this digital ocean of the internet. Letting people know how they should address you isn't "disconnected from reality", it's grounded in the very real reality that we, as people, like talking to each other. We should all be so thankful for their foresight in allowing us the opportunity of avoiding an otherwise unavoidable faux pas of calling everyone in the world "hey you".
Got me curious. The Wikipedia page for the term basically says that the word means the different things depending on being used in an American legal or British legal context.
For most use cases a guy like him writes a shell script, there's already some well written software.
F.e. in his case, he'd used something like Dagu.
Don't write shell scripts. If you want to do some programming, pick a proper programming language.
Exactly. I read that statement and now I think I need to go to the ER because I strained my eyes from rolling them so hard.
I'm curious what he means by this solution harming vulnerable Americans. Are they the same vulnerable Americans that TurboTax tricked into paying for their product after enticing them in with promises of "completely free filing"?
