Adobe Color CC
I recommend this website. It not only has the various color palettes for different purposes but also allows you the method described above of uploading photographs / extracting colors.
Java Swing
The curious exception with unique z-order from last reading: last child added (highest index) is drawn first
Why is timestamp important?
Because some events may not be handled immediately, and we need the reference time to correctly interpret the events.
multiple character-typed events
It's also possible to reach the same effect without pressing multiple keys simultaneously, with Sticky Keys. It is an accessibility feature that allows users with disabilities to reproduce the same effect by pressing one key at a time. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Sticky_keys

Is it using 100% alpha, so that it’s completely transparent?
From "0.0 (transparent) to 1.0 (opaque)", I thought 100% alpha was opaque?
GIF
What is the correct way to read this? There is a big debate in the internet about this
In particular, if you look back at previous readings, you’ll see that many of the usability problems identified in the Hall of Fame & Shame are justified by appealing to a heuristic.
So we are experts? :D
A Different Perspective on MVC
Existence of similar models is starting to confuse me, and I'm guessing that this variant is also called MVP (Model View Presenter).
Reference
fair selection of subjects
What does fair selection of subjects mean in this context of "Justice"? I'm slightly confused as the Belmont Report seems to explain justice as a concept of fair distribution of burdens/benefits.
pay them and let them go.
Is it suggested by the IRB guideline to compensate users who quit mid-experiment?
Make the user comfortable
I think part of this can be attributed to number of observers in the room. (I wonder what is an average # of observers for the user to feel overwhelmed / uncomfortable)
Institutional Review Boards
Despite these guidelines, it seems there are loopholes that allow conduction of unethical research even with an IRB approval. I wonder if the recent scandal with Cambridge Analytica, posed as a research, did have an IRB approval. The Problem isn't Cambridge Analytica: It's Facebook.
User’s boss shouldn’t be watching
This rule is relevant not only for preserving users' privacy but also for preventing biased performance due to evaluation apprehension. It doesn't only apply to bosses, but also coworkers (people whose judgment can impact user's work). I feel that the user from above story would still have felt the burden on her first day with her coworkers laughing, even without her boss's presence.
“hunt for the hotspot“
Maybe the human computer can give signals accordingly (ex : Similar to when hovered over a hotspot, the mouse cursor turns into hand, the human computer may make ambient beeping noise with higher pitch.)
a hand-sketch design seems less finished, less set in stone, and more open to suggestions and improvements
I also think that low-fidelity designs are easier to critique than high-fidelity designs, because the visible lack of finish and effort gives you less burden/(guilt?) in critiquing.
group brainstorming
So have some individual thoughts to start off before the group brainstorming to share / build upon others' ideas, aka never start brain storming from a blank state.
here.
One question -- if we want to comment on linked pages, can we use hypothesis in that linked page or should we just comment on this linked text to aggregate all comments in one page?
without an expert in stock trading on the team
Couldn't this be somewhat necessary in our DP, depending on our target users? I don't get how "having a potential user" in our team is discouraged, whereas participatory design is another method for needfinding.
ncorrect attribution
It's funny to see that the simple addition of "I'm Sorry" makes the system look very passive aggressive. Another good reason to be extra selective in choice of words for systems.
Mistakes
The major difference between mistakes / lapses is whether users already have executed it.
Error Types
Would a good analogy understand these slips as the following?
A procedure : Given current state, read available options, execute accordingly.
Where
capture error : same state, correct read, erroneous execution;<br> description error : same state, erroneous read, correct execution<br> mode error : different state, correct read, correct execution?
usually more familiar
I think this part suggests that the error was partly due to incorrect recall from memory, which makes it more similar to lapses.
prepare mentally for the next step
I think some of "Homing" is included in this part; I feel that calculating the next step while moving between keyboard / mouse (two different input types) is more costly than calculating between different keystrokes within a keyboard (same input type).
moves their hand back and forth from the keyboard to the mouse
That's why we love vim!
dragging an outline around the items
In Mac, it's interesting how in grid view you can select individual items in different locations for aggregation, whereas in list view you have to select all items between the first and last selection.
replace it immediately
On a distantly similar note, I think it's interesting how some interfaces make you retype the entire password when you get a password wrong, whereas some other interfaces allow you to start off where you last left off. What are the reasons behind these different practices?
user already has experience with.
Merits of well-meant metaphors : recognition! (as opposed to recall)
One study found that the probability that two users would mention the same name was only 7-18%
This may be an interesting context for the ESP game, where two users play until they come up with a same label for a given picture. http://ael.gatech.edu/cs6452f13/files/2013/08/labeling-images.pdf
