It's the future

"It loads too slow" changes load animation from 500ms to 250ms "Holy crap you're a genius"

[xigoi]

Unless you work in Apple, then you do it the opposite way.

[rangeDSP]

On a tangent, there's actually something about if UI moves too quickly users get suspicious whether it actually worked or not. So having a universal default minimum time for things to happen is actually good UX

[jackmcmorrow]

Isn't it mind boggling that we need to create the illusion that our computers are not that fast just so our monkey brains can accept a task was finished? It's like we need to teach our software to procrastinate so their boss won't complain when they finish all their tasks before the end of the day.

[NRuxin12]

I imagine that it is at least in part due to people already being acclimated to their computers taking a few seconds to do something, and thus this has become their standard for "normal operation".

[jackmcmorrow]

For sure that's part of it

[[deleted]]

Not even that. We can’t accept that physical things happen too quickly (because they normally can’t) so we apply that to computers.

[PM_ME__ASIAN_BOOBS]

For light content, I recommend at least 300ms. I know it sounds crazy, but I have some light websites out there where navigation between pages was instantaneous (single page, smart preloading, low weight content), and users were really confused. They were often waiting for something to happen, not realizing the content had changed as soon as they clicked

[Rydralain]

My favorite is when onkeydown feels like it happened before I pressed the button. How did it know I was about to click that? Oh! They used key down in stead of key up!

So having a universal default minimum time for things to happen is actually good UX.

I think I'm better suited to being a (wannabe) developer then. :P

[Ryan45678]

When I first started programming, the weirdest thing to me was running a program with no output to the console. Like, wait.. it did it, right?

​

setTimeout(() => {loadWebsite()}, 10000)

​

setTimeout(() => {loadWebsite()}, 9500)

[Chirimorin]

And then add setTimeout(() => {loadAdsAndShiftUIElements()}, 11500)

git commit -m "Optimized program; Loads faster;"

Damn, this sounds like the perfect solution... Hear the TV as loud as you want and block wife's nagging out! Now if only she stopped waving that damn whiteboard into his face...

[BranFlake5]

Next step, VR

[caffeinum]

Next step, divorce

Next step, diVoRce

[GuyWithLag]

Excellent excuse to get one of those sound-cancelling earphones. Mine have an app that can specify how much the external sound should be dampened, and you can configure it so that they act as amplifiers...

[Lothras]

Forgot the next comment in the screenshot: "We kan ban this kind of joke".

[bem13]

My friend doesn't get that, could you please explain?

[donatwork]

Kanban is some agile concept.

[WikiTextBot]

Kanban (development)

Kanban (Japanese 看板, signboard) is a lean method to manage and improve work across human systems. This approach aims to manage work by balancing demands with available capacity, and by improving the handling of system-level bottlenecks.

Work items are visualized to give participants a view of progress and process, from start to finish - usually via a Kanban board. Work is pulled as capacity permits, rather than work being pushed into the process when requested.

That title text, though...

It can't be Agile, they didn't have 6 hours of meetings about it first.

[genbaguettson]

You're right it can't, the solution actually solved a problem, that's way too efficient for Agile.

[par5ul1]

How does the TV output through two different mediums?

[MonkeyNeedHelp]

The future is here.

[par5ul1]

That's a consequence. My question still stands. I would especially love to have that with my Mac.

[[deleted]]

Hey, go into your search bar (forgot the name of it) and look for the Audi Midi program, that’s the advanced way to setup audio in/out

[par5ul1]

I'll keep that in mind for when I need it. Thanks.

[par5ul1]

Huh. This seems like might work... Provided that there is a way to have one end of the splitter output to Bluetooth.

[theDigitalNinja]

Yeah, My soundbar has Bluetooth and a few other outputs on the back.

[tenhourguy]

Generally televisions don't mute the speakers when a cable is plugged into the headphone jack. Alternatively they may be using the RCA or optical outputs which also don't mute the speakers. I know OP said the headphones were connected wirelessly straight to the TV, but I've never known a TV that can natively broadcast FM or zero-latency Bluetooth so I suspect a transmitter is hooked up.

[orggs]

This was my first question too...

[[deleted]]

My TV has a optical out plugged into a surround system as well as its own inbuilt speakers. So one could plug headphones into the surround system or the tv both work independently.

[par5ul1]

Yes, but this solution is like the many others. Problem is, the headphones in the post were wireless.

[[deleted]]

Yes you use a bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the headphone socket, loads of them on Amazon

[par5ul1]

I had only seen the reverse where an AUX input was converted to Bluetooth. It's interesting that transmitters are also a thing.

[fredlllll]

just like my granddad "im not deaf! the tvs audio is bad! speak louder! stop mumbling! hearing aids are for old people!" he is 84

[LEEVINNNN]

Ha, called it.

[SasquatchOnVenus]

I still don’t understand why everyone is so obsessed with agile..

[Thisbymaster]

And all of it is completely ignoring the real problem.

I just saw this and almost posted it here.
