Check out the North Paw Directional Anklet. It’s basically a compass that vibrates whenever you face magnetic north. From what I’ve read people seem to develop a sense of direction pretty quickly.
To be fair on this one, most of the times I complain people haven't got to the end of some short story before asking. This is an enormous and dense resource. Great, but I started scrolling and got surprised.
100%, it is definitely a commitment but it is a really incredible blog. I wish I could find more like it! I saw the mechanical watch post the other day for the first time and was hooked.
Imagine you go to a foreign country. You want to buy a train ticket. You walk to the station and go to the ticket machine. You see a dizzying array of levers, buttons, sliders, and dials. Each labelled with diagrams which don't make sense to you.
You back away slowly from the machine and try to find a human ticket seller.
Even if they were talking about interaction design (sometimes called IX) specifically, rather than experience design, the interaction is in handling, moving, and combining them. They don’t need to have a dynamic electronic interaction to be interactive. I’m not sure a toy with absolutely no interaction would still be a toy.
Not sure about the EU-27, but the UK has rules about election ads, to the extent that Cambridge Analytica was a scandal. Some of that scandal was due to bribery and offering prostitutes, but even the aspects that were purely what is considered "normal" for targeting online advertising was unacceptable by UK political standards.
That said, part of the latter being scandalous assumes that they were actually capable of providing the service they claimed, which is something I find myself increasingly unable to believe due to how wildly badly I get categorised by the main advertising platforms — nationality, country of residence, language, gender, all wrong.
I don't know what various countries' norms are, but if people aren't used to political ads and are generally suspicious of the concept, an ad may have negative utility.
I know if I saw a paid ad for a candidate that would make me want to vote against them.
Paper flyers in your mailbox, and billboards in people's gardens, are some age-old and very common forms of advertisement during elections I've seen in multiple countries in Europe
In Spain we get nicely labeled "Political Propaganda" in the mail around election time. I think by law each party can send you one letter, and it has to have the "Political Propaganda" text on the outside.
It's pretty nice in that I can throw it all straight into the recycling bin!
There's a bunch of strictly regulated ad formats. Each party gets one "metal billboard" poster and I think one TV spot and that's it.
The most common form of political advertising by volume is probably unauthorized propaganda posters on public infrastructure, yeah. Those are annoying. Also stickers on traffic light poles and similar places.
Australia small signs (100cmx50cm size) are common. Billboards you’d see down a commercial street are probably private property and often are political also.
Low level in the sense that it doesn't have things you would traditionally need to build an application, such as re-usable components, conditional rendering, etc. To do that you have to wire it up with something else such as your backends templating system, alpine, etc.
Isn't this just an implementation of the Observable pattern? IIRC the difference between observables and signals is that signals don't recompute the value unless any of its sources change, by using a dependency graph. Also, .effect() is just what used to be called .subscribe() in knockout.js and others.
Properly implemented signals are more complex than the observer pattern, since they have to prevent duplicating updates if more than one dependency changes. They also fundamentally change the way you use them compared to observers, thanks to automatically subscribing to updates to their dependencies and propagating the updates to the dependents. Effects resembles observers, but you would generally avoid them when using signals unless necessary.
