You can imagine a version of the world where designers structure their designs in a way that can easily export to e.g. a vue component, and along with the base structural layout they define different UI states it can be in, with animation timelines. Designers should be able to specify every aesthetic variable, and developers just program the business logic to fill content tags and toggle designer-defined states.

You’re probably already aware of it, but for generative design tool inspiration check out Grasshopper. It’s for building geometric algorithmic designs based on various inputs and constraints. It also has some tools for exploring permutations / genetic algorithms.

Mind linking to a news source for this? Curious to read more about it.

I understand the arrangement. From a Comcast user’s perspective, very little has changed, depending on how much trust you assign to a “we promise” privacy agreement. Are Comcast users better off than default? Yes. But decoupling DNS from ISPs which sit in such a privileged position is, for me, 85% of the threat model.

I’d like to read more about how the choice will be presented to users, beyond about:config. I’d also like to understand more the community’s reaction to Cloudflare default.

What if there was a round robin setup between neutral operators? Pairing Comcast users to Comcast just seems like a wtf move.

I'm confused. For me, a major selling point of DoH is it hides DNS queries from your ISP, which has detailed personal information about you. And if you're locked into Comcast, you're operating with completely eroded trust from the get-go.

Clearly, DNS statistics are extremely valuable to Comcast, or they would not have engaged with Mozilla to get back the data, nor would they have raised hell with Congress.

I would not have expected an organization like Mozilla to sign a data deal with Comcast, even if Comcast is now theoretically restricted on how they use the data.

This is a weak move.

It’s not guilt by association, it’s guilt by action. The action of deciding to work for the company with such a mission / clientele. Especially in a role requiring enough technical knowledge to know what’s going on.

I think CS, in that era, was free if you had a HL product key. It was a community mod and even when it transitioned to a boxed standalone product you could still download it if you had a HL key. CS: Source was also a free upgrade.

>SJW nonsense

Uh, what? It’s changing the UI to hide parts of the URL.

Look, I’d prefer it the other way too, but we have to choose the right words. The thought process shouldn’t be “I’m mad, what else makes me really mad like this? Oh yeah social justice workers. This UI change is therefore like social justice work.”

Solidarity is important but how can you get there if coworkers harass each other publicly?

It’s a number of factors. School programs are biased against embellishment so there isn’t really a craft in the profession around those kind of stylistic detail, especially at graduate level. BIM software also plays a role. The trade is forever streamlining itself technically, and construction systems with their CAD part catalogs thin out selection. Depending on the development goals, throwback details may not fit with how they plan to market the building.

And pretty much all of the above contribute to added costs of perusing embellishment on the core and shell. Lack of design techniques, construction know how, and off the shelf options will drive prices up. Developers would prefer to spend money on interior build out because it sells sq footage.

Thanks for the recs!

Which espresso machine and grinder do you use?

This is very common (but not everyone experiences it when coming off). It’s called caffeine withdrawal.

I'd guess it's because GPS / cell phone tracking data rely on line of sight to towers / satellites, but GACT works on human-to-human proximity, and therefore data can survive offline locally until some point in the future when you get connection back. Also it seems the distance accuracy between human to human would be more accurate (via BT signal strength) than distance accuracy in a GPS / cell phone tower situation.

I love the quality of your photography, especially on the security keys guide.

I’ve wanted to create a list of my belongings, with maybe a few other metrics like category, rough value, happiness factor, etc. How detailed did you go, and did you use it as a survey tool to initially figure out what you don’t need?

Completely agree. A few paragraphs in, I felt dread because it was going to be yet another rehash of minimalist history with with very little original thought. It’s too scared to say things directly. I think if it started with the last 2 or so paragraphs, it could offer something unique or challenging.

Germany is a roasted coffee exporter. They import green coffee beans from developing countries and process them into various coffee products (roasted beans, ground coffee, soluble crystals). Because they are transforming a raw material through an industrial process, they end up with a new product which they sell to the world (export).

What might be confusing is Germany also re-exports green beans to other countries, at a markup. This is a much smaller % compared to the coffee products they export.

Does this clarify things?

To find such a clear North Star in your life, and then fully commit to it, in a totally foreign culture no less, and to know your work has literally life changing impact on others overlooked by society, must feel amazing.

Thank you for elaborating on the deeper issues surrounding MCAS. Where can I read more about Boeing's design philosophy around FCC redundancy, or more about Boeing vs Airbus philosophies?

It's like the data breach version of "It's been an incredible journey!" after getting acquired.

Someone should make a Tumblr for data breach marketing copy.

So glad this exists. I'm always looking for nice looking gradient sets that are more than 4-5 colors you get from Adobe Color. Great job!

I imagine over the years Slack has really made a dent in Gmail's intra-organization messaging rate. Now cross organization is getting swallowed. Does Google care?

My theory on why they didn't elaborate on U1 / announce the (rumored) object tracking tags: they need better U1 chip penetration geographically before making any promises. Once a bunch of iPhone 11's are out there, they can further test the new product in a more realistic setting, and make adjustments if necessary. There could be some critical flaw that may need reengineering and they won't want a repeat of AirPower.

For instance, if they released the new object tracking tag with iPhone 11's, it would be a bad user experience because U1 is not spread out. Better to wait until the U1 geographically saturates to their standards before releasing it.

They can still talk about U1 in regards to e.g. new AirDrop capabilities, and in other marketing-level generalities.

It’s not a notch. It’s a screen with 2 extensions at the top to show time and status icons.

;)

>Back in the early 90s he also took form as an action sports impresario

Could you elaborate here / further reading? That aspect of Joi’s background interests me.

I honestly don't mind green texters in my iMessage groups, but when it becomes really apparent is when we forget about the android user and start adding reactions to messages, which come in as texts. Then it becomes really obnoxious. I've never seen people break out into a separate iOS-only group, but chats have definitely devolved into mocking the text-substitution for message reactions by recursively reacting to text reactions, which get absurdly long. And then it ends with someone sarcastically suggesting the android user buy an iPhone.

I feel that if I was a teenager and not an adult, this kind of frustration must result in regrouping iOS only.

My MacBook model / year matches the recall, but my serial number isn't eligible. Does that mean I need to go to Apple's recall webpage and input the serial number at the TSA checkpoint? This is going to be interesting.

Could you look at the wireless MAC, contact the manufacturer, figure out where it was sold, contact the seller, and ask for sales records?

Guess it wouldn't prevent people from buying on craigslist.
