This paper argues that permissive user interfaces are easier to use and even when they are not applicable for particular applications, considering permissiveness is a productive design heuristic.
There are thousands of other developers, including the makers of the dating app Tinder, games such as FarmVille, as well as consultants to Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign, who slurped huge quantities of data about users and their friends – all thanks to Facebook's overly permissive "Graph API", the interface through which third parties could interact with Facebook's platform.
Actin-binding proteins can direct myosin motility within cells (Brawley and Rock, 2009) by enhancing, or inhibiting the acto-myosin binding interface to create permissive or restrictive actin tracks.
The dynamic and reciprocal interplays between the tumor and its microenvironment orchestrate events critical to the establishment of primary and metastatic niches and maintenance of a permissive environment at the tumor−stroma interface.
Permissive epistatic mutations across the molecular interface open paths for the other molecule that would otherwise have been blocked.
Permissive and restrictive mutations across the interface may act in a serial chain that reciprocally modifies the partner molecules' evolvability: a mutation in the RE may change the protein's capacity to tolerate a previously unavailable replacement, which then changes the RE's tolerance of a mutation that would otherwise have been unavailable, and so on.
In contrast, a user interface that supports multiple approaches is permissive.
Permissive and restrictive epistatic mutations across the TF-RE interface opened and closed potential evolutionary paths accessible by the other, making the evolution of each molecule contingent on its partner's history and allowing a molecular complex with novel specificity to evolve.
This paper also provides results for synthesizing supervisors in the multi-level architecture that are locally maximally permissive with respect to a given specification and set of interfaces.
Because we often make use of Yeadon's model in our research, we developed a modern object oriented program under a permissive license that allows for incorporation into other software packages and includes a graphical user interface for ease of use.
Though we provide implementations with graphical user interfaces in MATLAB, ImageJ and as a standalone tool, the open-source license used is permissive and allows for integration in other image processing packages as well as commercial solutions.
