By design, snap apps have no access to /etc. They live in their own little world, but instead of a normal chroot, they are splatted all over the standard Linux filesystem layout. With other bits mounted hither and thither. Its a mess, and subject to change with each release.

The past few years seems to have be a race between Microsoft and various players in the Linux world to see who can produce the worst abomination of a UI. It's as if there's been a ritualistic burning of the UI design rule book that led to many years of largely stable and consistent user experience across all platforms

The span of graphic design is not a history of concepts but of forms.

he meant that the designer’s purview is to shape, not to write. But that shaping itself is a profoundly affecting form.

Paul Rand wrote “There is no such thing as bad content, only bad form,”

The apotheosis of this notion, repeated ad nauseum (still!), is Beatrice Warde’s famous Crystal Goblet metaphor, which asserts that design (the glass) should be a transparent vessel for content (the wine).

Designers also trade in storytelling. The elements we must master are not the content narratives but the devices of the telling: typography, line, form, color, contrast, scale, weight. We speak through our assignment, literally between the lines.

In my opinion, it can sometimes look odd. Very interestingly, this is by design and is part of the Material design specification. This article isn’t to argue whether it should be this way or not, though; it’s just to change yours such that your MenuItem(s) show below the menu selection, like so:

Material is the metaphor The metaphor of material defines the relationship between space and motion. The idea is that the technology is inspired by paper and ink and is utilized to facilitate creativity and innovation. Surfaces and edges provide familiar visual cues that allow users to quickly understand the technology beyond the physical world.

By default, menus open with an entrance animation. However, on desktop, menus can skip the animation and open instantly instead.

A notable difference between OS dialogs and Material dialogs is that OS dialogs save the work when a user dismisses a dialog but Material dialogs don’t.

Material Design guidelines don't specify popovers, but the specification of material properties provide a clear set of properties that can be used to create popups.

Material cannot occupy the same plane. But material can be stacked.

Small components can set the size of their corner shape using a percentage of the absolute height of the component. This means the corner shape will change as the component height changes.

Outlined buttons are also a lower emphasis alternative to contained buttons, or a higher emphasis alternative to text buttons.

Dialogs use text buttons because the absence of a container helps unify the action with the dialog text. Align text buttons to the right edge for left-to-right scripts.

Text buttons are often embedded in contained components like cards and dialogs, in order to relate themselves to the component in which they appear. Because text buttons don’t have a container, they don’t distract from nearby content.

Don'tAvoid using two contained buttons next to one another if they don’t have the same fill color.

We recommend the following changes to the default settings when designing ddPCR assays:

Strive for a Tm between 50 and 65°C. One way to calculate Tm values is by using the nearest-neighbor method. Use the Tm calculator at http://www.basic.northwestern.edu/biotools/oligocalc.html, with values of 50 mM for salt concentration and 300 nM for oligonucleotide concentration

has developed novel bioinformatics software called OliVar, which allows researchers and assay developers to automate and design assays that target regions of the virus genome that have the lowest frequency of mutation

this second approach, while more verbose, sort of spells out better where things are coming from. (I like it, in other words.)

page is a { host, path, params, query } object where host is the URL's host, path is its pathname, params is derived from path and the route filename, and query is an object of values in the query string.

What the #$%@ is UX Design?

Some of these are absent-by-design

The best solution that I found while trying to build a masonry component was to package up a pair of components and place child components inside a wrapper - I chose CardLayout and Card such that users would write something like: <CardLayout> <Card><MyBeautifulCard /></Card> <Card><AnotherCard /></Card> </CardLayout>

Hm, React-way is really hacky... When we talking about lists, masonry, or any other table-style components, first of all, we talk about arrays and iteration through them. If you iterate over the children in the Masonry component, somewhere (in parent component I guess) you also iterate over the actual items. Over and over again, in all places you use this component, you perform almost the same iteration twice. Why we should do this? I believe the interface of this kind of components should look like this: <Masonry {items} {colsNum} let:item> <SomeItemComponent>{item}</SomeItemComponent> </Masonry>

<script> export let items = []; export let colsNum = 3; $: cols = items.reduce(...); </script> {#each cols as col} {#each col as item} <slot {item} /> {/each} {/each}

For a long time, the blue flame coming out of a gas burner has evoked cleanliness. That was no accident, but the result of a concerted advertising campaign.

I think the main difference between the two are the way API are served. Some smelte components need you to input big chunk of json as props, while i prefer keep props as primitive types and in the other hand give you different components tags to compose.

Sometimes, systems just scale the problemA UI design system is more than the code of a component library. It’s more than the colors, styles, and margins of your elements. It’s an ever-growing and ever-evolving creature that entails your brand and your user’s feelings.

Instead of publishing a single one-size-fits package for components, we create an ecosystem where everyone works together yet deliver independently. The design system’s team role is to facilitate and regulate, not block or enforce.

What you see here is a page composed of shared components. However, these are independent components developed and owned by different teams and published from different projects, which are mixed and integrated together.

The design of your system is not ready until you have two assets:a) A style-guide that defines the styling and implementation of your UI. This is usually a rather long document with a lot of text and typography.b) A set of reusable visual elements that bring together both visual (UI) and functional (UX) consistency through components. This is usually a rather large canvas with elements drawn on Figma or Sketch etc (we use both).

The benefits of our system go way beyond UI/UX consistency. We greatly accelerated and scaled our development, improved our product quality, and greatly improved work between developers, designers, and everyone else.

The syntax of the fallback, like that of custom properties, allows commas. For example, var(--foo, red, blue) defines a fallback of red, blue — anything between the first comma and the end of the function is considered a fallback value.

I love the Material Design System’s buttons just because their principles are really well thought through.

Generally speaking, one will use smaller or less prominent buttons style for this.

I open this issue to announce that i'm actively working on a rewrite of this library to accomplish these goals:

Before showing the final result of the .svelte components we will also add Material-UI, using the adapted version.

Curcumin, but not fish oil, reduces postprandial glycaemic response and insulin demand for glucose control.

Overshoot is used on important dialogs to convey a sense of urgency.

To ensure there is enough space for both content and navigation, Reply uses different navigation patterns for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Material is an adaptable system of guidelines, components, and tools that support the best practices of user interface design

We don't use "attribute directives" much which makes things easier.

because we still remember the quality of service that the restaurant gave us.

What a very strange design decision - to treat the files as the same.

Or even keep as is, the simplicity of this feels right in line with svelte's simplicity :)

BTech in design engineering or BTech engineering design: Design thinking is a popular concept that spans multiple industries and there are courses, independent of any branch purely focussing on designing products. This is also often referred to as an engineering design course or design engineering course. The idea is to teach how to not just bring in design to develop great products that are aesthetically perfect and ergonomically usable and consumer-focused but also to introduce design as a tool for innovative thinking. The curriculum develops design thinking concepts in a manner basis which students can conceptualise and develop products that are innovative while also boasting of high aesthetic value. These graduates are sought after by all manufacturing industries.

If you want to implement a form with a superb User Experience, you have to take care of many variables:

Interaction strategies are a type of accommodation that typically go unnamed and unwritten

However, after solving this problem a few times, a pattern appeared.

Typically, platform accessibility APIs do not provide a vehicle to notify assistive technologies of a role value change, and consequently, assistive technologies may not update their cache with the new role attribute value.

Adult learning theories are not just a collection of jargons, concepts, and ideas about how adults learn. These theories help you plan your course during conception, development, and execution, in a way that will facilitate the learning process.

Instructional Design Approaches For Adult Learners

Blended learning: Efficient, timely and cost effective

Considering that one of the most significant factors of online course quality is instructor presence and interpersonal interaction,4 one of the benefits video can offer is creating faculty presence in an online environment. In the interviews, students cited faculty presence as a key factor related to their engagement and perceived learning from videos. Humor and wit were described positively. Participants also mentioned the benefits of adding personable context to a subject; for instance, faculty members giving examples from their professional experiences about subject material. As one student explained, "The reading is very didactic or academic, but the videos are very real-case scenarios. The instructor narrates: 'How do you take that academic learning into the real world? What does that mean when you're looking at these financial statements?'" Another participant offered: "[The videos] are better than just reading the material because it has more of that human element."

Good instructional design is based on the industry-standard Instructional System Design (ISD) model. The ISD model comprises five stages—analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—and is a systems approach to instructional design in that it views “human organizations and activities as systems in which inputs, outputs, processes (throughputs), and feedback and control elements are the salient features.”

Service design principles support the development of services which deliver high quality experiences to users and customers

Data shall be normalized between the organization and its customers and within the organization itself Data shall be easy to transfer and be reusable within the organization and within the partner network Wherever possible data entry shall be avoided and be replaced by data lookup, selection and confirmation utilities instead

Information flow is key to delivering high quality services; if people don’t know what they’re supposed to and when they’re supposed to know it – service suffers.

Work groups are to be organized so that they match the processes and the competencies required Individual workers will be given sufficient autonomy to make useful decisions Work will take place in a location where it is done with the most efficiency

Any activity that fails to add value for the customer should be eliminated or minimized Work is always structured around processes and not around internal constructs such as functions, geography, product, etc. Work shall not be fragmented unless absolutely necessary. This enables accountability and responsibility from a single individual and reduces delays, rework, etc. It encourages creativity, innovation and ownership of work. Processes should be as simple as possible. Focus on reducing process steps, hand overs, rules and controls. Wherever possible the owner of the process should have control over how it is delivered. Processes should reflect customer needs and many versions of a process are acceptable if customers have different needs. Process variation should be kept to a minimum. Process dependencies should be kept to a minimum. (I.e. process in parallel) Processes should be internalized rather than overly decomposed (e.g. training is better than work instructions) Process breaks and delays must be kept to a minimum Reconciliation, controls and inspection of process must be kept to a minimum KPIs for processes will only measure things that matter

Characteristics of Adult Learners With Implications for Online Learning Design

We aim to support all svelte features. In some cases this is not possible. For those cases we provided feasible workarounds.

ECMAScript 6th Edition (ECMA-262) introduces template literals which are intended to be used for embedding DSL in ECMAScript.

Deku is a library for rendering interfaces using pure functions and virtual DOM.

In highlighting the dangers of big-up-front-design (BUFD) and waterfall development, Agilists seem to advocate no-up-front-design (NUFD) or no-up-front-requirements (NUFR) or no-up-front-architecture (NUFA).

Doctoral programs are often highly unstructured learning and training environments, where individual autonomy and freedom are highly valued. Decisions as to what counts as a good idea, a worthwhile project, or adequate progress are often left to the discretion of professors, and criteria for success can be opaque for students. This is even more so for those who are not already “in the know.”

When using React hooks there is no concept of onMount because the idea of only running some code on mount leads to writing non-resilient components, components that do one thing when they mount, and then don’t take prop changes into account.

A component shouldn’t break because it’s rendered more or less often.

Keep the local state isolated.Think about which state is local to a particular UI representation — and don’t hoist that state higher than necessary.

Props and state can change, and components should handle those changes whenever they happen.

Even if a component is rendered just once, your design will improve if rendering twice doesn’t break it.

We get a boilerplate-free API where shared state has the same simple get/set interface as React local state (yet can be encapsulated with reducers etc. if needed).

Most of the tech news we get barraged with is about algorithms, AI, robots, and self-driving cars, all of which fit this pattern. I am not saying that such developments are not efficient and convenient; this is not a judgment. I am simply noticing a pattern and wondering if, in recognizing that pattern, we might realize that it is only one trajectory of many. There are other possible roads we could be going down, and the one we’re on is not inevitable or the only one; it has been (possibly unconsciously) chosen.

The path must not twist so much that visitors think they are being led astray, nor be so slow that visitors give up and strike cross-country through search engines. Nevertheless, twists and detours can help designers give their readers more than they expect.

duty of care

The attention of the audience is a writer's most precious possession, and the value of audience attention is seldom more clear than in writing for the Web. The time, care, and expense devoted to creating and promoting a hypertext are lost if readers arrive, glance around, and click elsewhere. How can the craft of hypertext invite readers to stay, to explore, and to reflect?
