No. I've heard Britts say it, but I hear it more from folks from the Western states.

LOL! oh boy

Grammarly declined my request to interview CEO Shishir Mehrotra today. But it told me that in response to criticisms, it will allow experts to opt out of the feature by emailing expertoptout@superhuman.com. The company gave me this statement over email: We’ve heard the feedback about this tool and appreciate the engagement from those who have taken the time to raise thoughtful questions about the functionality and the experts surfaced. We agree that the product experience can be improved for both users and experts. The agent was designed to help users discover influential perspectives and scholarship that add value to their work. We want the people behind those perspectives to have greater control over whether their name is used, while providing new ways for influential voices to reach new audiences. Our goal is to improve Expert Review to deliver this outcome.

NEWS: Grammarly tells me it will let "experts" like me opt out of having their names used against their will and for no compensation as part of its "expert review" feature www.platformer.news/grammarly-ex...

One thing my ears never get used to hearing...
"productive" is pronounced beginning with "pro"
Unlike "productivity", which begins with "praa".
I'm guessing it's because "product" and "productivity" are nouns, and "productive" is an adjective? Either way, "praa-ductivity" sounds so wrong.

That Ventura Highway riff is a classic joint too.

I went through it and received, "You preferred human writing."

Hidden vs. Disabled vs. Read-Only Decision Tree Whimsical combines whiteboards and docs in an all-in-one collaboration hub.

I like that it adds the consequences for the terminal states that negatively impact the UX. IMO, with the exception of the "read only", there isn't a benefit for choosing the "Hidden" or "Disabled" states when you look at the negatives.

I was going to be nice, but no. This is trash. Everything from poor color contrast to the div soup masquerading as structured markup. Keyboard support is pretty much non-existent. Mouse users only. www.exploreclaudecode.com

I just read what he wrote
"These features may not appear for pages that are not well-formed..."

If that's the case for the flaky behavior, I definitely won't have that issue. It's still a convenient nice to have on the site, though.

Yeah. I've been using the feature for a long while on Android, but it's not consistent. There are some sites I visit where that feature is not available. Having it as an option that's more front and center is ideal.

Maaan.. week before last I filled up at $2.19. Today, $3.94.
You know what's next. Venezuela gonna ramp up, and there's going to be a push to drill on protected lands here.

LOL!! yeah... pretty sure anywhere in the world this question would draw smoke.

I forgot they released the reboot. I played the crap out of the original

the UI for a text-to-speech player. There is text associated with it that reads, "Listen to this article - 1 min" along with play, pause, stop, and speed controls.

The new home for rightbadecode.com is coming along. Today, I worked on adding a text-to-speech component that uses the SpeechSynthesis API to read the post content to the user.

#UI #UX

it makes no sense.

List of high contrast themes in Windows showing four theme previews as static images that are above a dropdown with three disabled buttons labeled "apply", "edit", and "delete".

I'm still 10 toes on whoever worked on the high-contrast modes in Windows fumbled the UX bag by not making the preview images the actual way to select a theme. Instead, we have to use the dropdown and hit apply. Why? The opportunity is right there.

#UI #UX

Messing around with the SpeechSynthesis and noticed that it announces certain combinations of period-separated numbers as dates. For example, the text "2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)" is announced as "February 4th, 11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)".

Scientists discover a key to staying mentally sharp in old age | CNN “SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, according to a new study.

People who have razor-sharp minds in their 80s and 90s — known as “SuperAgers” — produce twice the number of young neurons as cognitively healthy adults and 2.5 times as many as people with Alzheimer’s disease, a new study found.
