Also of interest: Jonathan Blow has a podcast series talking about the creation of the game Braid:

Great talk about the future of desktop user-interfaces.

“…Scott Jenson gives examples of how focusing on UX -- instead of UI -- frees us to think bigger. This is especially true for the desktop, where the user experience has so much potential to grow well beyond its current interaction models. The desktop UX is certainly not dead, and this talk suggests some future directions we could take.”

“Scott Jenson has been a leader in UX design and strategic planning for over 35 years. He was the first member of Apple’s Human Interface group in the late '80s, and has since held key roles at several major tech companies. He served as Director of Product Design for Symbian in London, managed Mobile UX design at Google, and was Creative Director at frog design in San Francisco. He returned to Google to do UX research for Android and is now a UX strategist in the open-source community for Mastodon and Home Assistant.”

Nice!

For those interested in comparing, https://www.summarize.tech/ also builds summaries from YouTube videos but includes an overview, then a summary of each 5 min segment

It looks cool, but there is no screenshot or video of the settings you can configure.

The videos show only the effects (scrolling, etc) and not how you can use your mouse or set it up to do it.

I believe Keypass uses local password vaults. I don't use it personally, but I have heard many people use a combination of KeePass and Syncthing to sync their passwords across multiple devices.

Example article: https://dev.to/rusty_sys_dev/switching-to-keepass-and-syncth...

I wouldn't recommend Keypass to my non-technical family and friends, but if you love the command line it might be what you are looking for

This makes me wish 1Password still allowed self-hosted and self-synced password vaults.

“Two studies from 2013 suggested that consuming more calories early in the day and fewer calories in the evening helps people lose weight. Yet a major new study has found that while the relative size of breakfast and dinner influences self-reported appetite, it has no effect on metabolism and weight loss.”

I wish this article included music clips from the composers discussed.

Please do. This is alarming

One of the authors still finds Android apps—verified by Google Play Protect—that are still vulnerable:

Thanks! I will take a look

I have been watching Volta. It looks pretty great.

While developing it, I have run it a great number of times on my own computer (in addition to testing on clean MacOS install VMs) and it will only install what is missing. So, yep!

I haven’t reached that level of enlightenment yet :)

For sure! I can understand that. For people who don’t want to use the script, I also included a list of what is installed in the README. Experienced dev's can manually install and configure what they need.

We have many devs who are fresh out of university or used to windows, so not all are experts with the Linux/Mac command-line. This is helpful for them, and others who just want to start quick.

Update: clarifications

> You are depending on macOS python? It’s going away.

That it is. We still have a few projects running on legacy Google App Engine, and the teams working on those projects use the included Mac Python 2.

We are in the process of migrating everything to Go, so the python 2 dependency should be removed in the future.

This script helps new developers at my workplace setup their MacBook laptops quick, letting them hit the ground running.

Before this script, it could take 2-5 days to install and configure everything, as much of the knowledge needed was either scattered in old docs or passed down verbally from a few senior devs.

With this script, new developers can be ready in under 30 min.

I have tried to make this script simple and useful. You will want to customize the installation and configuration to match the tools and services you use at your company.

Note: it has not been tested on M1 Macs yet. I am still waiting on my M1 and will update when I receive it

That was actually pretty interesting. Here is a video of the device in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x3aDW8ghaY

I am not sure if it is worth the price, but it's cheaper than a top of the line smartphone with a time-of-flight sensor

I thought web2.0 was the rise of AJAX and web pages starting to look an function like apps.

Wouldn’t web3 be the move to walled gardens (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok) and the rise of surveillance capitalism?

How do these templates handle email forwarding?

When many email clients forward an email, all styles in the document head are removed, which breaks emails that have not inlined their styles.

How does these templates handle responsiveness?

Handling responsiveness and still looking good in MSOutlook can be tricky.

Have these been tested using Litmus? I did not see any images of these templates in email clients.

I have done a bunch of work on emails, and found that building html emails that look good and render well on all popular email clients while staying responsive is tricky

This is terrible news. I am thinking the push to subscription related to their recent fundraising round.

I am happy paying upgrade price for each new version of 1Password but I hate the idea of a subscription.

Dropbox syncing works well for me.

1Password has done almost everything they can to stop people from using the standalone version. I am disappointed and angry.

Don’t some cities use RF to communicate between traffic signals at intersections?

I notice when driving I get FM radio interference on some intersections in my current city

This looks really cool. Exciting to see how this plays out in the future.

Does anyone know if the display is similar to the display in the Looking Glass 8K holographic light field display?

There is a short documentary available on Amazon Prime Video (US) called “Welcome to the Last Bookstore” of you want to learn a bit more about this gem:

> Trump may not like it, but those tariffs are part of a politically sensitive, decades-old policy to protect Canada's dairy farmers. The system is called "supply management" and it sets production quotas for the country's dairy, poultry products and eggs.

> Murray Sherk, the owner of the family-run Pinehill Dairy in Plattsville, Ontario, says supply management helps keep prices stable, gives farmers a steady income and has succeeded in avoiding a milk surplus in Canada.

> "The stability of our system is of great benefit to not only farmers, but also all kinds of other businesses," he says — like restaurants and trucking.

> With all we've learned during the pandemic about supply chains, why would anyone willingly out-source Canada’s supply of our most basic food items?

https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/why-canada-should-keep-suppl...

I can’t see the tariffs going away.

Canada also has banned the use of artificial growth hormones in dairy cows, and America has not. I don’t think many Canadians are ok with the amount of hormones in American dairy products.

You may be able to use this trick to download older versions of apps for older versions of iOS:

Older devices running iOS 8, 9, 10 may not have any compatible apps available, but there are old versions that you can still download and use...”

The new layout of the repo screen is decent, but the new, overly-smooth UI components are too much of a departure from the previous, well-done UI components.

The way the top tab/nav bar stretches across the screen, while the content is centered feels broken to me.

https://twitter.com/joelkesler/status/1275557934290755584

(above) I mocked up what the repo screen could look like if it used Github's previous UI with the new layout (and fixed the fluid tab bar!)
