I'm a programmer (cto these days) and a skateboarder (kind of c'os age is not just a a number) and I've always been in awe of people who smoke weed and are able to engage in either activity and yet I do have friends capable of such. This is not a lie :-)
I've seen it with my own eyes. What amazes me is how good they are at it. If, by contrast, I did same I would end up hurt or fired :-)
Hi, the developer here..
pknoa! is a very simple way to keep track of everything. It uses natural language processing, to help you store, quantify and organise information.
All you have to do is remember the pknoa! syntax:
unit action time
So, when you type something like:
30min meeting with Peter Smith 15 June 10:30pm
pknoa! breaks it down and quantifies it for you.
All your entries, with the same name (in this case, ‘meeting with Peter Smith’), are grouped together, enabling pknoa! to generate amazing statistics.
pknoa! also has other cool features, such as tags (allowing the grouping of two or more activities, to create new views) and sharing (allowing invited users to see, in real time, what you are up to).
We'll definitely take your suggestion under consideration, but don't you think it's a bit harsh to dismiss the whole application because of it?
Give it a try, you might like it :-)
It shows a lack of attention to detail, a lack of viewing the full picture of all your potential users, and a lack of consideration for those with accessibility issues.
Therefore, if the simple landing page has all of those lacks, it stands to reason (since the app. is written by the same folks that created the landing page) that the app. may likely have all the same lacks, and possibly even more.
The landing page is to attract and interest new users who are not yet using the application.
Therefore the landing page should be accessible to the widest variety of users, with the widest variety of setups.
The landing page can also indicate somewhere that the app itself requires javascript, such that users are warned they need to turn javascript on if they choose to use the application.
But the landing page should never, itself, require javascript to be readable/useful as an advertisement for the application.
Dude, how do you live with javascript disabled nowadays?
A rough estimate (based on yahoo's data released in 2010) would set the percentage of users with JS disable to 1.3%, and that's four years ago.
Nowadays everyone's on facebook, and everyone's likes shiny features and eye-candy, so I would bet those values would be at 1% or less if you exclude all the robots and spammers out there.
I mean, I would only disable javascript if I had an accessibility issue and it made it hard for me, or if I was a paranoid conspiracy theorist that uses TOR behind several proxies to access the web, and even if I was, the guy is forcing SSL (kudos for that, I like it).
Incorrect assumption. I, for one, am not on facebook. Therefore, not everyone is on facebook.
> and everyone's likes shiny features and eye-candy
Fine, but the basic content of the page (i.e., the actual information vs. the shiny objects) should be accessible without needing to enable javascript.
If you actually had an accessibility issue, you'd likely have a very different opinion. Be thankful you don't have an accessibility issue.
It seems like you're on a personal crusade against javascript.
In reality javascript is on by default for all major browser and you are a tiny fraction of 1% of all browser users that go out of your way to turn it off. I recommend you fix the problem on your end rather than rudely commenting on someones project.
The whole point of noscript is to have javascript off by default (to avoid a whole host of possible security exploit situations and an enormous amount of web tracking) and only white-list it when necessary.
Going to a landing page, to view the advertisement for the app., is not a reason to need to turn on javascript.. If the landing page advertisement is provides enough info, then one can decide to turn on javascript to try out the app.
Yeah but first rental its completely different.
You are the client. You are paying for something, a second opinion might come handy or maybe your dad is there to help paint the walls afterwards.
A job interview its about you, you and you. Who you are and what you can do.
I can't believe this is a thing :)
Hard to say, it was a side project I did in my spare time. All I know is that I started working on it 4 months ago, and spend my whole summer vacations working on it.
Thank you soo much for "Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns". It 's been a while since I cried laughing.
As someone who's been programming in java since 97 (..God I'm old) I certainly saw myself wandering around the Kingdom of Nouns
