Editorial for Special Issue: “Advances in Portable 3D Measurement”
1. Introduction to the Special Issue In the context of the journal Metrology, portable 3D measurement is focused on manufacturing applications where there are typically demands for high-accuracy 3D data, with uncertainties in the range of a few 10s of micrometres to a few tenths of millimetres. Applications are commonly carried out directly on shop floors or production lines, rather than in separate, environmentally controlled laboratories.

Why The Wealth Management Industry Has So Much to Gain From AI
September 7, 2021 (Global Banking & Finance Review) - The UK’s wealth management sector has experienced significant growth in recent years and handles around £948bn of assets, equivalent to about 46% of the UK GDP. As such a vast industry, it’s not surprising that financial institutions and wealth management firms are looking to be early adopters of the latest AI technologies. Wealth management is a data-rich industry that has traditionally relied heavily on human data re-keying processes.

There was quite a kerfuffle recently about a feature being removed from Google Chrome. To be honest, the details don’t really matter for the point I want to make, but for the record, this was about removing alert and confirm dialogs from cross-origin iframes (and eventually everywhere else too). It’s always tricky to remove a long-established feature from web browsers, but in this case there were significant security and performance reasons. The problem was how the change was communicated.
Wealth Management Industry Leads Way With AI Technologies – Top Business Tech

Design Tokens and Component Based Design
If you stare at your twitter feed long enough, it can look like everyone is talking about Design Systems. In some cases you could be persuaded to think how shallow the term can go. “Isn’t this what we called Style Guides?”, “Here’s my React Design System”, “I’ve just updated the Design System in Sketch” To me, they are some and all of these things. Over the last 4 years of consulting with two clients on their Design System, my own view has changed a little.

Design Systems and Front-End Architecture @sturobson | alwaystwisted.com | Design Systems and Front-End Architecture | Colchester Digital 2019 1 @sturobson | alwaystwisted.com | Design Systems and Front-End Architecture | Colchester Digital 2019 3 What we are going to discuss today: 1. What is a Design System? 2. Do we need one? 3. Where should we start? 4. What makes a component? 5. How do we maintain it?
Refactoring Your Way to a Design System
I love refactoring code. Absolutely love it. There’s something about taking a piece of UI or a bit of code and reworking it in a way that is simpler, modular, and reusable that makes me incredibly happy. I also love design systems work. It gives hybrids like me a home. It seems like everyone is talking about design systems right now. Design systems teams are perfect for those who enjoy doing architectural work and who straddle the line between designer and developer.
Why Design Systems Fail
Design systems are so hot right now, and for good reason. They promote a modular approach to building a product, and ensure organizational unity and stability via reusable code snippets and utility styles. They make prototyping a breeze, and provide a common language for both designers and developers.
Design Systems and CSS Grid
Recently, my client has been looking at creating a few new marketing pages for their website. They currently have a design system in place but they’re looking to push this forward into 2018 with some small and possibly some larger changes. To start with we are creating a couple of new marketing pages. As well as making use of existing components within the design systems component library there are a couple of new components.
Getting Buy In For Your Styleguide
In creating a front-end styleguide, design language and framework for (initially) a small part of a company, getting ‘buy in’ from other departments and developers could be a potential problem. Here’s this collection of files you’ve created that help you with your day–to–day work with a pattern library of your website, but how can that possibly help another department, or even another company within a larger organisation.
