We just did a whole visual identity around the quadtree concept. Take a scroll on this one! https://trace.systems/

I just spent 25 minutes trying to install a command-line tool called citus_dump that Cursor told me could help port data between Postgres citus clusters only to find out that the tool doesn't exist and that the language model just made it up. AI-assisted coding is definitely enticing, but we have so long to go until you can trust AI-generated code in production environments.

My company Design Systems International (https://designsystems.international/) designed this site during COVID in 2020 when the interest in mortality data suddenly exploded. Happy to see it on the front page!

I was just telling my wife this after looking up the "no rain" weather report and getting absolutely showered 5 minutes later in an hour-long rain storm. Weather reports suck so much.

I'm just rereading Katz' The Art of Fermentation, and it's an amazing book and encyclopedia about how fermentation is and has been used throughout the world. I highly recommend it.

No worries, I get it. That's another big problem!

Nowhere did I say mental disorders are better or less harmful than physical disorders, and nowhere did I say that the experience is not the same from a patient's point of view. However, there's a great difference in how the medical profession treats people with physical and mental disorders, and these patients are being told repeatedly by the entire world that they are feeling what they are feeling because of anxiety, depression, etc, which is flat out wrong. As a person who has also battled with mental problems, I'll be the first to point out that that's a big, big problem.

There is lots and lots of research into the similarities of Long Covid and other post-viral illnesses despite the fact that people only recently started reporting these symptoms:

"This study supports prior findings that ME/CFS occurs with high prevalence among those who have persistent COVID-19 symptoms." - https://www.mdpi.com/2035-8377/15/1/1

Long Covid symptoms are not vague. If you argue this, you have not done enough research into what people are battling. A majority of Long Covid haulers suffer from PEM (Post Exertional Malaise) which is a primary symptom of ME/CFS, and even thought research on this subject has been performed for decades, We currently don't understand what causes it. There are many theories for ME/CFS which could fit well with Long Covid, including an activation of the Epstein-Barr virus which causes neuroinflammation, and if this neuroinflammation primarily centers on the brain, it explains all the symptoms that people are reporting.

This is just so, so wrong in many ways. Read about post-viral diseases such as Me/CFS that closely mirrors what Long Covid sufferers are going through. Watch "Unrest" on Netflix. Stop telling people who have serious physical symptoms that it's all mental. Just stop.

It's expensive to be poor.

A much more thorough investigation of these ideas was done by Adam Harvey 11 years ago: https://ahprojects.com/cvdazzle/

The Coding Train just launched a new website with their entire archive! https://thecodingtrain.com/

This is a horrible excuse for the terrible banking system in the US. We have both instant payments in Denmark and laws to require banks to cover fraud.

My experience with GitLab is that they accelerated very quickly in the beginning with a focus on new features. This made the whole ecosystem incredibly slow, and it's unbearable for me to run as a service on my own hardware / cloud accounts. I guess that's the problem with these open source services that also rely on paid platform income. I have tested out https://gogs.io/ and the difference in speed is just incredible.

You can't just throw out numbers like "25% sales tax" and think that it paints a clear picture of how it is to live and work in a country like Denmark. I'm Danish and have lived in the US for 13 years. I have owned companies in both countries. Denmark is without question superior in almost every aspect when it comes to running a business.

As a note, my personal tax rate in the US is not that much lower than my Danish tax, and in Denmark I get free health care, free education, free support if I'm struggling, and a unified, digital service for registering and running my company.

Logic Magazine is a lovely magazine and I highly recommend everyone to subscribe!

I'm 6 months into my COVID illness, and I'm still having fatigue and breathing difficulties on a daily basis. It started with severe breathing difficulties, but I was never in the hospital, and it has basically been going up and down in waves since then. X-rays shows that my lungs have recovered, but I don't feel good at all. I'm 37 and in great shape. I am so damn tired of the discussion being focused on deaths: If 2-5% of infected get long-term symptoms like me, it's going to be an absolute onslaught on the health care systems in the coming years.

I once made a Chrome extension called HeaderHunter to automatically notify users when a recruitment header is detected. It still works:

Author here. This makes me very happy to hear :)

This type of site has excited for almost 15 years in Denmark (antikvariat.net). It's a shared archive and purchasing platform for all used book sellers, and it has proven to work exceptionally well.

I built the Atlas system that O'Reilly uses to produce books, along with a Markdown and Asciidoc converter to HTMLBook. So even though you write in Asciidoc or Markdown, it gets converted to HTMLBook since that's what the entire toolchain understands. But those formats are great for the authors wanting to write in a plain-text alternative.

When I was at O'Reilly Media, we worked on an HTML replacement to Docbook called HTMLBook.

https://oreillymedia.github.io/HTMLBook/

As far as I know, O'Reilly Media still uses this for all book production.

As much as I know about the Tour, the route is extremely challenging, not so much related to time-lag of the video, but to actually having a clear signal going through at all times. The production of this race is done by the most qualified outdoor video professionals in the world, it is highly scrutinized, and I doubt that this setup is a product of coincidence.

This should be the top comment. Motherboard did all the research and work to show this guy to the world.

oh god no stop.

There's also this! https://github.com/magicbookproject/magicbook

Author here! Thanks for the comment. Just for some background info: This book is written for people who want to begin using code as a creative tool, and many readers just learned the basics of JavaScript. Color theory quickly gets extremely hardcore, so the emphasis here is to present an alternative to the standard color spaces that is easy to use in JS. I think that HSLuv solves that problem, and it has been very helpful for my students when I introduced it in undergrad classes. There are many other relevant perceptually uniform color spaces, but none of them are as easy to understand as HSLuv for students who already know sRGB HSL.

I have been using toggl.com for months now, and it's really amazing. Apps for all major platforms, good reporting interface, and manual/timer tracking.

I have to disagree with you on most of the above. You cannot expect students who want to learn how to code to also learn about the DOM and write things like path DOM nodes by hand. This library is made to abstract DOM-specific functionality into something that they know from known and tested tools like Processing. There is a world of difference between writing SVG's by hand (or generating them in pure JavaScript) and using Rune.js. Just try to write the following example in pure JS, and I'm sure you'll see what I mean:

I agree that CIELAB is a very useful color model, which is why I also teach the difference in my class. But HSV is a great way to move away from rgb(255, 255, 255), and I've had nothing but success using it over the last 5 years in my graduate classes.
