I never said it was intuitive, only that it exists ;)
I’d argue that double-click to open a file is also not intuitive, but it is now the expected behaviour. Documents don’t have to be touched twice in real life to have them open and reveal their secrets. Plus, I do use Drag Lock, so that behaviour now does feel intuitive to me.
There’s a lot to be said for what is effectively learned behaviour in intuition.
At GKN Aerospace, I was hired predominantly to migrate the team off Matlab and rewrite everything in Python. There was pushback from OEMs who wanted their specs to be in Matlab but eventually everyone folded. Having to need 2 licenses to run on 2 cores was horrible UX IIRC. I'm glad I learnt from that experience.
Manning wins points for giving me DRM free books and for their website. It's really nice and I like reading the books on it. So much so that I wish I could sync pdfs to the Web progress.
Good job Manning!
I hate the UX of O'reilly. Great books, but horrible HX. That company seems to have people who do not dogfood.
Models are trained with content scraped from the net, for the most part. The availability of content pertaining to those specs is almost nil, and of no SEO value. Ergo, models for the most part will only have a cursory knowledge of a spec that your browser will never be able to parse because that isn't the spec that won.
You can just also learn with the knowledge of 1996
Selfhtml exits it pretty easy to limit the scope of authoring language to a given HTML version and target browser. Your LLM should have no problem with german.
There were specs competing for adoption, but only tables (the old way) and CSS were actually adopted by browsers. So no point trying to use some other positioning technique.
In 2018, I read the Valmiki Ramayana by the Tungabhadra river in Hampi. I wrote to its translator, Bibek Debroy—a correspondence I’ve cherished—and today I’ve digitized that letter to share with the world.
