That's annoying for this case that I'm guessing is pretty rare outside of dedicated data entry jobs like call center/help desk. Leave a flag to deal with the edge case because that's what it is.

The inability to turn off autocomplete in a straightforward way is particularly awesome when you're using the autocomplete provided by Google Maps and Chrome's autocomplete just kind of float on top it. Looks super good.

I was talking specifically about email address entry, but yeah I know I'm still being hyperbolic and should just use (yet another) plugin to stomp on those attributes if I care enough, which I guess I still don't.

When you make a web application, you have lots of forms. is very rare that you want autofill, and if you really want autofill, you often want it to be from a existing list of items pulls from the database with ajax. on simple, complex or medium user cases autocomplete get in the way, breaking forms and also design. but the google chrome don't let us disable it with autocomplete=off, so we have to resort to ugly hacks that they disable, and we have to find new hacks, that they disable again, and we have to find new and more combulated hacks, and so son.

autocomplete off is the worst. As a user, I've had way more problems with sites that disable autocomplete than anything caused by autocomplete.

Maybe don't use words you wouldn't want people to see on a pc that will be used for a presentation, its just a bad idea if there is the potential you might be embarrassed. I suppose these are lessons most people learn the hard way at some point early in their career.

Just disable autofill in your browser settings if you're using it in a work environment where you're going to be doing a lot of data entry etc. and don't want autofill.

Also changing global settings for a website?, what about if the others?, no, this is not a valid or sensible solution.

The only sites I enable notifications for are proper webapps. Stuff like gmail, calendar or web versions of Electron apps I refuse to install on my machine like slack.

Desktop notifications are the devil and I cannot comprehend anyone wanting them turned on. The most mind boggling thing to me is people that have sounds enabled for them, which is then a lovely experience when they're presenting something via zoom screen sharing

more falafel please posted:the best work chat notification is Our whole department (150+) is now on Teams and every single person except one other developer prefaces any question or comment with an intro or chit chat and won't actually put in the question they have until you aknowledge them. Like, god drat people just put the question you have in the first comment you send and then the next time I reply will be with the answer. You don't have to go through coporate theatre, just say what you want and I'll try help. Also I've noticed some people get real pissy if you don't go through the whole tedious process of aknowledgement first. I've had countless "good morning to you too" or other snarky replies when I initiated and go straight to the point.

Sometimes when a person messages me with just a greeting, or a "Can I ask you a question?", I just reply with a link to nohello.com With communication about shared work, it's fine to not use the sorts of pleasantries that you would expect in other contexts. We both already understand that if you have a routine request for me, I'll do it, so the only thing that's needed is for you to tell me what it is. No need to butter me up.

Suspicious Dish posted:i too cant socialize with other humans and get angry about those who can I prefer the term information flesh sacks. But for real the context is people that I already would otherwise have regular communication with, some we are already close enough to have previously gone for drinks together on weekends. They wouldn't preface quick visits in the office this way, text chat just seems to give people brain worms and they treat it like formal emails that will be audited.

I actually prefer the introductory "hello" to check when the other party is available. If it's an involved question, it's gonna take some back-and-forth so I'd prefer that both sides be present, rather than constantly missing each other with hourly gaps between messages while I have to remember what the question is all over again. Likewise if I see a "hello" it gives me a buffer to reply when I have time, instead of being immediately compelled to drop everything to solve a question. Maybe this could be solved by proper IM "status" to indicate when you're available for questions, instead of everyone being Away/DND/Invisible 24/7 to hide from coworkers they don't like.

Personally, if a Slack chat opens immediately with a question, it feels more urgent and frantic to me than if they opened with 'hi'. So I prefer if they open with pleasantries, because it's much more comfortable to ignore a 'hi' than a 'hi - the thing is broken'.
