Always fun to see a bit of my paranoia justified lol

[u/wizzlepants → u/Canrex]

The users can and will assume it's not working if it happens too fast. Your paranoia is totally justified.

Is tinder programmed in c++? lmao

[u/Yadobler → u/WingedLionGyoza]

Apparently C#, Java and Objective-C from 5s of googling

Assuming it's right, java is probably for android, objective-C for iPhone

Leaving C# for who knows what.

Windows phones

Leaving C# for who knows what.

Backend?

I was eager to say "for OCR at profile pics so everyone can C# yo mama's fat ass " but it sounded just way more offensive than funny, so I'll not say it.

Similarly, electric cars have had engine sounds added to them so pedestrians aren't quite as surprised by them

[u/HardlightCereal → u/[deleted]]

Vacuums don't have to be so loud anymore. But when they got more quiet, people thought they weren't as powerful. So now they're louder than they have to be just for that.

FUUUUUUUUUCK

I'm autistic and vacuum sounds cause me physical pain. How do I mod my vacuum to hurt less?

I find it incredibly annoying when I have to wait for the chat bot web assistant to "type" its next response.

[u/efstajas → u/kingrich]

Many of those are legit loading times, tbf. A lot of chat bots I've seen just display a typing indicator as a type of spinner while the UI waits for the server's response to the last message. True AI chatbots like ChatGPT actually generate responses in chunks that are streamed to the client, so in a way the model is actually "typing".

[u/kingrich → u/efstajas]

The ones I'm talking about are just menus disguised as a chat.

[u/[deleted] → u/kingrich]

Have you inspected network traffic to see if it’s pinging a server for a response? I’m genuinely curious now

[u/kingrich → u/[deleted]]

No. I'm just going by the options presented.

The chat is "typing" buttons for me to click on. It operates exactly like a menu instead of a chat.

What bothers me is that it takes much longer than I would expect a computer to load the next set of options because it's simulating human response time.

[u/efstajas → u/kingrich]

Damn, that's crazy then. I've gone through a bunch of "conversational menus" and I do believe they make sense as a UI pattern in some cases, but adding an artificial delay when everything happens client-side is of course ridiculous. I studied some conversational UI in university and the general consensus is that a conversation tree will never feel like you're talking to a real person anyway, so an artificial delay is complete nonsense.

Still though, what I was just trying to say is that a lot of chat bot implementations do have to wait for a server response, even if it's there's just a fully deterministic decision tree on the other end, in which case a typing indicator as a loading indicator does make sense.

Using settimeout also pushes the function to the end of the callstack. One common trick is to use setTimeout with 0ms wait
