There's a delay when trying to hit stop on any of the boxes. It's really quite frustrating.

I really like this idea. This is something I want to explore as a non-music person.

Yet it has proven functional for certain animations for years with entire websites devoted to the file format. At some point you let it be what it is.

Designer here. I went all in on the Golden Ratio for a season. It was good for some things, bad for others—kind of like everything else. I never thought about it with regards to type sizing so I may try that. That said, it will utterly ruin some things.

Values are dependent upon hierarchy because values have to and enforced. The attempted removal of hierarchy minimizes and/or obscures the company's values and prevents them from being lauded. In its nature, the flat model is not forthright to its workers. This is why its employees function with suspicion in the dark.

Precisely.

I should have clarified that it's not by consent.

Mandatory service by the government is slavery. It is anti-liberty. The government does not own the fruits of your labor.

2FA not working on main URL or this direct link.

Fear of change and new things. People were opposed to cars when they were first introduced. Ironically self-driving cars will arguably save countless lives. The resistance and fear will pass. But I do love driving...

This was really helpful to see how the author thought through the palette's creation. In my experience, I came to similar results, but over a long period of time and rather haphazardly after endless tweaking.

I would add that often times it's helpful to define a "light on dark bg palette" and "dark on light bg palette."

My first discovery of this game was also on a mac in 7th grade (in NOLA).

There was a fascinating podcast on RadioLab about the intelligence of trees and one of our writers wrote about it (this is a Christian publication about weird stuff): https://gospel.vision/discovering-the-mystical-intelligence-...

I've started talking to trees since discovering this.

They believed the universe was ordered and maintained by a celestial hierarchy with the Creator at the top. Places like Middle Earth and Narnia are metaphors of the model. Lewis's "The Discarded Image" is not an easy read, but would help anyone who wants to know more. A more current and more easily understood starting place would be Michael Heiser's "The Unseen Realm", which is squarely theological / Christian in nature, but still thoroughly academic. Heiser's book carries continuity with Lewis's book, but Heiser has done the work to make the material more readable for the masses by footnoting a lot of the references and for the person who really wants to dig in, he's provided supplemental material.

The worldview of Tolkien and Lewis was deeply inspired by their academic understanding of medieval cosmology. Dwarves and other fantasy creatures were not strictly "made up", but were types meant to reveal the reality of invisible spiritual and celestial creatures within the model of the universe. Disney's treatment of said creatures was barbaric in their minds as it completely missed the theological and philosophical significance they were supposed to communicate.

There are too many TV screens in BWW. I counted 27 in one. This is just not a pleasant dining experience.

Anecdotal, but I have one multi-millionaire friend who left California strictly because of taxes. It takes a certain type of personality to just up and do it and he exemplifies whatever personality trait that is.

Millionaires are established, and the article goes into reasons why they don't move around. However, what potential effect does higher taxes have on people starting businesses or thinking about starting one?

I have grown to appreciate Tufte a lot and I think he's spot on with some things, but when it comes right down to conveying information from one brain to another, I think Matthew Butterick's principles are better, though I am sure there is lots of crossover.

I'll easily vouch for this.

http://bullshitipsum.com/ has been around for quite awhile though. Nevertheless, buzzwordipsum does take a stab at making complete sentences.

The only constructive thing I can say is that there is no constructive criticism for the TSA. When are we going to put an end to this security theater that has been proven over and over again to do nothing? I stopped flying years ago. Not every one has this luxury.

This 10 year follow up is invaluable.

A lot of larger companies have responses just like this. I was in a meeting yesterday where we talked about a progress bar for 30 minutes.

Years ago I decided to demo everything in HTML/CSS. I find that I can write web code faster than I can whip something up in a prototyping tool. The demo can also be viewed in a browser. It's not 1:1, but it gives me a lot more control to make things bluer.

This. In addition, the readability is straight-up bad on many of these.

Chrome windows is notoriously bad at rendering select 300 weight fonts. It's almost as if I can conclude the website was made on MAC when I see one.

The low contrast bit is senseless.

And today I discovered a tool that solves a frustrating problem in Windows, thanks!

Did you just call them Cylons?

I did a comparison of Bullet Journal and Consol: https://www.consol.io/5-reasons-why-youll-like-consol-if-you...

More exploitation of the poor. Poorer people have less choice / options because those extra choices tend to cost money. It's a grave evil when organizations leverage this to take advantage of the poor and it happens all the time.
