user interface - Programming the application based on UI designs (UI screens are requirements) -


what's take on style of software development?

i work in software firm developing browser saas application.

in short our programmers base code solely on ui views , states provided ux team. if there written requirements, it's minimal.

i junior webdev , have been accepting sort of development while now, have doubts development. believe not right way go. think? commonplace?

so here's how development done our company:

first ui/ux team develops ui based on requirements provided them. these designs polished final ui shown user using invision. designs contain walkthroughs on happens in particular scenarios (such user submitting form or clicking buttons) , how ui state reflected.

next these items passed down scrum backlog (we using trello task management). go through designs during 3-hour video call verify old tasks & introduced new ones walking through designs on invision.

during 2 week periods, programmer picks 1 of tasks , works on creating: a) visuals particular view of app , b) business logic feature.

while think it's motivating see end result mockups, think lack of well-defined requirements not helping in long term. programmers have deduct functionality of particular part of app based solely on ui screens. has resulted in lot of , forth talk , miscommunication since there no constraints programmers can refer to.

how can convince management start using well-defined requirements analysis our products? don't know people got degrees in cs classes, not way software designed.

what describing ux-driven design , not bad or good per se. depends on how strategy integrated other, rather long-term strategies (e.g. waterfall development). many, bigger companies use ux-driven design combined scrum stay flexible , move quickly, have long-term plan steers overall direction of development on months , years.

in opinion, company practice developing components have change (like ui). however, since said developed in such way, have doubts. commonly, requirements of components, less overhauled (like backend , database connection) should defined , taken account during development.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
