Re:Ask HN: Just learned about AMP (interactive emails). Why aren't peo... on Thursday September 05, 2024 @05:30AM (#41454993)
Oh, I've always loved these emails that have interactivity built in. Specifically, I have thoroughly enjoyed emails that I get from Google Docs that shows the edits that other people have made on the document that I shared with them. It gives me the option of commenting and submitting my comment there itself. This has been an extremely solid user experience.

While I know that since Gmail is a Google property and that kind of experience cannot be delivered by emails sent by others, I've often wondered why other products haven't used this functionality as much.

Curious to see what all can be done.

Can anyone share examples of other products doing this really well?

It definitely does look like they're gating access to this making it like an exclusive club.

I am not personally opposed to that strategy since there's a behemoth of a player (Airbnb) this category already.

They have to play it differently to make it.

When Prophecy Fails: When People Continue to Be in a Cult

Posted by g3mo on Tuesday October 08, 2019 @02:47AM
from the self-post dept.

Found this nice snippet from the book When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger, Henry RIECKEN, Stanley SchachterFestinger stated that five conditions must be present if someone is to become a more fervent believer after a failure or disconfirmation:1. A belief must be held with deep conviction and it must have some relevance to action, that is, to what the believer does or how he or she...

Re:Extending Ruby on Rails with Service Objects on Thursday April 20, 2017 @04:11AM (#14154815)
The classic Model-View-Controller (MVC) method generally asks the programmer to put business logic in the model. This is sound advice for a small-to-medium size project, allowing a modicum of clarity and relative ease of testing, compared to business logic spread across controllers. However, as the number of problems your business tackles increases, bloating of the model is inevitable.

The service object pattern allieviates this with a back-to-the-roots approach, asking you to encapsulate different pieces of business logic in its own little container - each easy to understand, test, use, and re-use.
