Jarrett WalkerMy book Human Transit, THE book you most need to understand public transit debates, is on sale for a few more days! Pls share! https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9781642833058/human-transit-revised-edition
Will DormannIn preparation for an upcoming blog post, I wondered about the various ways that Windows can refer to a remote WebDAV resource.
These all work:
\\example.com\pwned.exe
\/example.com\pwned.exe
file://example.com\pwned.exe
file:/\example.com\pwned.exe
file:\/example.com\pwned.exe
file:\\example.com\pwned.exe
file:////example.com\pwned.exe
file:///\example.com\pwned.exe
file://\/example.com\pwned.exe
file://\\example.com\pwned.exe
file:/\//example.com\pwned.exe
file:/\/\example.com\pwned.exe
file:/\\/example.com\pwned.exe
file:/\\\example.com\pwned.exe
file:\///example.com\pwned.exe
file:\//\example.com\pwned.exe
file:\/\/example.com\pwned.exe
file:\/\\example.com\pwned.exe
file:\\//example.com\pwned.exe
file:\\/\example.com\pwned.exe
file:\\\/example.com\pwned.exe
file:\\\\example.com\pwned.exe
These don't, presumably because windows treats the leading / as meaning it comes from the local filesystem:
//example.com\pwned.exe
/\example.com\pwned.exe
Marijke LuttekesRe: flat web design.
Buttons that don鈥檛 look like buttons.
I blew someone鈥檚 mind today. She鈥檚 about my age, competent at her job, but not much into technology.
She complained that she always needs to scroll past the weeks in her web-based calendar.
I pressed the current date shown in the top-left corner above her appointments, which pulled up a big date overview by month.
She was so excited, asked me how I did that.
Mind you, the date was shown as simple black letters on a white background, with only a black, downwards-pointing chevron a bit to the right. It hardly suggested interactivity, especially to those not knowledgeable about web design.
I often think that flat design was a mistake, and today鈥檚 situation was a good example of bad user experience (UX) stemming from non-intuitive controls.

Among the cool stuff which have been happening in #GIMP's codebase since we branched out to start working on the future version 3.4, let's cite the work by long time contributors Jacob Boerema and @CmykStudent improving again and always our support for PSD, but also TIFF, JPEG and more, as well as the very cool patches on this area by the new contributor Frank Teklote.
@GIMP really has a lot of very nice and skilled contributors! 馃槂
Jeff Fortin T. (棰ㄣ伄搴湌銇甆ekohayo)What if we had a tiny desktop utility GUI app to manage Sieve server-side email messages filters? Then it could be useful to any email client application on the FreeDesktop.

It is almost as if we shouldn't put useless turd waffles in charge of things simply on the basis of them previously having been useful to other useless turd waffles.
