My last bean to cup machine cost 180€, my new one costs 600€. Most espresso machines cost more than that, some people pay 180€ for just the grinder alone

I just got a new Hyundai and I think they already have the perfect amount of touch vs buttons. Everything you need to access has buttons, the things which would be too annoying to do during the drive are touch

Blender had a reeeeaaally long way though, I remember a time where Blender was quite big already but Maya just was miles ahead in terms of usability. Nowadays they are not only even, Blender is probably used more often since it’s not only free but more people know how to use it than Maya

No, just look at it, so many buttons. Physical levers for A/C temperature control. Physical buttons for the seating heater and for the seating fan. Physical butons for the window heaters in the winter. Physical buttons to switch between Radio, Map, Bluetooth. Physical buttons to switch radio stations. Physical volume knobs.

Basically all your needs while driving have a physical button, the stuff where you REALLY need a touchscreen are those that you should never do while driving anyways.

I would wish that the driving selector wheel could act as a knob like BMWs and Mercedes have, this would be the best of the best. But it still is pretty great compared to the selection in other modern cars.

I was pleasantly surprised when I sat in a modern Hyundai for the first time (Kona Electric SX2) and there were soooo many buttons. Yes, some things are still touch-controlled, but compared to what I was used to in a Volkswagen it was such a blessing

Do you not have the browser open all the time? Not necessarily in the foreground, but at least in the background I always have a browser window. But tbh, most of the time it’s in the foreground on the second monitor

But 8 > 4??? /s

“Just double click the keepass.kdbx” is not what it is. You need to go to your explorer, find the file in the folder structure and double click it. You then need to search for the website you are on and copy the password, then you need to go back to the website within 12 seconds and paste the password. That’s inconvenient for everyone, but for a tech-illiterate grandma it’s impossible.

Compare that to Bitwarden: You go to the website, click on the bitwarden icon and then click on the login details. Or even better, you can enable auto-complete with a single click and it automatically fills the login details when on the website, without clicking anything. That’s far more convenient and easier.

Just as a FYI: My grandma has a sticky note on her laptop that shows exactly which buttons to press to get to her emails, with things like “Click this twice within 2 second, be fast!!” for a double click. It doesn’t say “lef mouse button”, she draw her touchpad and an arrow. She is not able to find her mails when the website changes the layout.

That’s far from the best option. It’s working, but it’s super complicated compared to Bitwarden and other cloud password managers. Imagine telling your grandma “just use keepass”, she would never be able to make it work. But Bitwarden? Lastpass? That’s possible

here in Germany the self-checkouts mostly have a cash machine so you can pay cash without a person there

Also then there are Jour Fixes and standups for the side projects you got rented out too and and and

But it’s also important to learn that comments should be brief and concise. We have one file from an ex-dev in which there are 750 lines of code and 2000 lines of comment, when someone wants to maintain this code they always have a hard time because this many comments are taking up so much screen real estate that you can’t find the code that actually does stuff

A colleague of mine has one. They are easy to overlook and he sometimes has pretty bad looking crashes (from the outside) but the chassis themselfs are extremely sturdy and protecting. He slid down a road 25m at one point, crashing into a pole, but only got a bruise from it. Because, and that’s the main point: these things are not going down 50mph, they are at 18mph and the only dangerous parts are intersections where cars are slower anyways

The problem is that a lot of people don’t understand when to ignore the rules and just stick with them forever.

We had a developer once that always said KISS KISS KISS whenever we pointed out that her functions are working but not reusable, so she wrote 20 functions that all did the same thing, but with slightly different parameters. And that’s just one of the examples

Yeah that’s totally true, but it’s too much of a risk IMO. There will be great candidates like AOC in the future (she has too little experience right now), that might be the ones fulfilling Bernie’s dream. Sadly Bernie won’t be it

Bernie Sanders is even older than Biden, he should have been the nominee in 2016 but now it’s too late for him
