We're grinding through the old /review queues, moving them into the new Community Review Dashboard format.
Recently, Emmett's been slaving over a hot compiler to bring you: the First Posts queue:
This is a bit different from the preview queues, which tend to focus on a handful of very specif...
Whenever I receive an email with a return receipt request, I feel somewhat slighted, like they don't trust that I will act on the email and want proof that I read it.
Is there any accepted etiquette toward this email feature? I have avoided using it myself.
I suppose the proper response is NOT to copy the email (without opening) and then permanently delete the email so the user gets a "message deleted without being read" notification, eh? :-)
The way Outlook handles message receipt requests is silly
Since copying the message allows you do to multiple handlings of the same event
And copies ALSO count - I once did this to a friend of mine and sent him like 50 automatic "message deleted without being read" messages :)
heh yeah this is so true. I am so surprised when people look at Apple and go "omg how are they so popular their tech is inferior" since that is the ONLY thing apple focuses on
If there is no button to Foo the Bar, you could spend two weeks writing the most beuatiful code ever seen (or not, in this case) to Foo the Bar, but it will all have been a waste of effort
and I'd bet most average-joe users of Gmail don't consider "deleting emails" as functionality, but instead consider the delete button itself as a great function
It's all about what the user sees and does, and the program just interacts with (data/network/monitor/live animals/speakers) based on what the user wants to do
@BenBrocka I mean accepted as in a user (or group of users) (or potential user/group, at the point when nothing is built) has looked at mockups/samples and said "yes, this is something I would use. This makes sense"
of course also making changes based on their feedback before considering it "accepted"
I wasn't a fan of the redesign, it gave me an impression of looking blank
Personally I don't like seeing the skeuomorphic buttons mixed in with otherwise minimalistic interface elements...the clash is just weird. You can go too far, but IMO the buttons are distinct enough, unlike some elements in Office 2013
There are several types of projects you could work on that could be sensitive for various reasons (involvment might disclose your personal political affiliations, the legality might be questionable, etc). However, projects such as this can still be valuable experiences where you develop or exerci...
I came across this excellent post, and I think it yields an excellent, answerable question.
I recently started my first "grown-up" job as a software developer.
As exciting as it is to get paid for doing what I love, I can't help but wonder
if I'm expecting waaaay too from a company.

Right, it's 100% subjective unless the organization has clearly defined policies for such things (which are hardly ever around and even if so, most people probably arne't even aware of them)
@Jim also, surprisingly, the current views-per-day are mostly real views, not because of the recent spike in views (the leaving an interview early question got like 30k views). If it keeps up and we keep getting more questions we'll be well on the way to graduation
