What does it do? All it did for me was disable all input into the page except for scrolling. I was assuming some modem noises or perhaps the page would unload and reload very very very slowly...
Works on Android. Trying it on regular Firefox on Pinephone Pro results in:
> This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page.
Weirdly, the image animation doesn't render until I hit the "Debug Script" button that Firefox presents, which pauses execution. It's only with the JS paused that the animation begins.
The pause is at the `for (; b < a + 60; )` loop that works an OscillatorNode. I guess a sound is supposed to be played. I checked youtube and sound works. I guess this loop prevents the firing of whatever event the animation depends on.
Loop terminates. It's just really slow. Only once it ends does the sound happen (haven't used OscillatorNodes before; probably normal).
Checked for sound on Android's Chrome. There's none. Checked youtube on Android's Chrome, sound works. Checked Firefox on Android, seems to have the same problem as desktop Firefox on Pinephone Pro. No web inspector on Android to check, but I waited and eventually the sound started playing. It's been several minutes and it's still playing. Image animation hasn't started.
I use them when working with sheet metal. They are high-dexterity. Thin and flexible. Steel threads are woven into the fabric. McMaster has a variety of high dexterity gloves - fingerless, insulating, cut-resistant.
Thanks Jacques. So creepage is when current flows/arcs across the surface of an insulator, vs through the air. And it's worse with DC due to its unidirectional nature. Worsens when pollution builds up, or the surface degrades.
Indeed. And it's a really nasty thing to properly protect against because that pollution, especially with stuff that is unattended for a long time has a habit of ending up much worse than your worst fantasies. I've taken more than one electrocuted mouse out of the HV section of older color TVs for instance. Up to 250V or so it is manageable, above that you can get the weirdest problems including completely invisible arcing where the only giveaway is the ozone smell and the occasional click. Looking at HV circuitry in the dark or by putting a flame near a suspect spot is a great way to spot these kind of issues.
Yes, it seems like UI designers only solve the basic use case: beginner user with 3 apps open on a 14" laptop, each full screen, or tiled side-by-side.
I imagine them presenting their design on a static PowerPoint slide, and upper-management says "beautiful", and they move on to CoPilot features, never looking back.
The Teams... team... took several years to let us pop out chats to their own windows. The minimum size of the window was almost half my screen for a long time, which was annoying since it had a mobile app and my phone is way smaller.
Someone would send you a document and it took over the entire Teams window. You had to exit it in order to chat with the person about the document. The concept of having more than one 'thing' on screen at the time was completely missing. My only explanation was that the developers had never used a computer before.
Try not to blame the people working at the coal face. Developers lack influence in most companies, they are told what to do by product managers and the rot often gets worse further up the hierarchy chain. Developers mostly know what is wrong and don't like the shit they are doing. Imagine the anger of working on Server 2012 (Windows Server 8) with the default Metro UI - that idiocy had to go right to the top.
How independent are developers at Microsoft - are they in charge of product design decisions?
Most -- frankly, almost all -- developers I talk to at big companies like the things they are working on. I totally am happy to not blame a developer who disavows the stuff they are doing and shrug at me saying "a job is a job: this isn't the greatest market to find a new one", but that just isn't the reality of most of the people who are working at these big companies.

Similar challenges, but attempts at natural solutions (not easy, so much complexity)
