In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

Y’all. I made this cute little animation to show that a link was successfully copied. I use it on my writing site.

It’s not monumental, but I really like it. My son said it feels “very satisfying.”

Terrible UI behavior in the Apple macOS app store app (v3.0):

When writing an app review, the return key does not create a line break. Return does nothing on first press and submits on the second press, even though the focus does not visibly change and the submit button is not highlighted. You must use shift+return to insert a line break. 🤦

You forgot the option of "None".

Touchscreens should never be used in safety-critical systems.

Every control that takes the driuver's attention away from driving is a safety-critical problem.

Citez moi des gens qui font de l'UX / UI design de façon bénévole dans les logiciels libres.
Je peux vous en citer peut être quatre cinq personnes grand max.

Citez moi des gens qui codent des trucs, toujours bénévolement dans le même domaine. Y'en a archi beaucoup plus.

Bon, comment ca se fait, et comment on fait pour qu'il y ait plus de gens qui fassent des choses dans l'ux / ui ?
