Re:Redesigning the Save Symbol on Friday April 05, 2013 @11:45PM (#5502553)

Do you really think about floppy disks when you save something? Most people don't. That's what makes it an effective symbol. You don't have to think, decipher, or read. Everyone has learned it and has become more productive by it. Why change that? Would it be wise to modernize traffic symbols as well? If you're going to try to force users to learn something new, there better be something in it for them (I don't see what that would be) and you would need just about every developer to agree upon and use this new symbol (good luck), otherwise you've pretty much asked Christians to change the cross symbol to a new modern torture device.

'Hack' is the trendy buzzword that marketers use to replace the word, 'tip.' Yeah, quite annoying.

Ask HN: How do you (would you) assess an ecommerce application?

Posted by zyglobe on Friday August 13, 2010 @01:20PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm the lowly developer on an ecommerce selection team with a large group of business people who are focused on the eye candy and features. I'm trying to explain that the features and presentation, while important, is paint on the house compared to the overall architecture of the application/solution. There are a lot of important aspects to consider (Security, extensibility, performance...)...
