- burntoThey are unfocused. Need to stop with the mba playbook moves like this and just make the model worth paying for.
- Enjoyed this a lot. I, too, spent many years involved in print layout. In my case it was a lot of QuarkXPress. My friend aptly described it as a “very cross program” but it was quite efficient once I learned it.
- Quicksilver was a revelation. I use Raycast now and Alfred is great too.
I don’t use spaces or Mission Control or tiling. But I’ve been using macs since the late 80s and most of that stuff just seems superfluous. The fast global extensible subject-verb-object command shortcut is the only UI innovation that really changed my workflow since system 7 multitasking and osx having a cli.
- The 1220s horse bubble was a wild time. People walked everywhere all slow and then BAM guys on horses shooting arrows at you.
AI is like that, but instead with dudes in slim fitting vests blogging about alignment
- Cassettes and their cases had a really nice size and shape, fit right in the hand. And it was cool that you could see it moving, unlike (most) cd players. Also the recording paradigm was pretty easy to grasp, just 1:1. And they kinda degraded gracefully, with sound getting weird but still playing, at least until the tape actually came out in a big catastrophic mess and we’d try to rewind it with a pencil.
- The 90s films mentioned in this post are works of art and the actors and creators were artists. Compensation sustains the art, but it’s not the primary purpose.
Netflix is a business. The content on Netflix is largely designed or purchased with a primary goal of engaging paying users.
We can find plenty of films that are works of art after the 90s. One Battle After Another is a recent one that comes to mind. Parasite, No Country for Old Men, Arrival, Moonlight, Tree of Life, Midsommar, Mandy…
- Beautiful essay. So much of the tech we use today originates from quiet humble builders and creators like Mr TIFF.
- We are a continuous learning organization, and selecting this bike shed’s color is an opportunity to leverage everything we’ve learned since the last bike shed project. It’s a fast moving space, and we’re a different team at a different point in time. The color we selected in the past may not be the right color today. In fact, this is an ideal time to consider a bike shed color transformation program to update all legacy bike shed coloring for consistency.
- I know it’s not the stated reason for the flag, but maybe it’s ok to see a little bias towards atheism here and there.
- But it’s typically not simple. People often have some kind of life complexity that makes their taxes hard to confidently self-navigate here in the U.S.
Receiving government assistance? Some kinds are taxable, some aren’t.
Moved states? You have multiple state filings now.
Got married? divorced? Splitting custody or property? Special tax forms to fill.
Native American? Veteran with disability? Senior? Student with loans? Bankruptcy? Freelance income? Etc.
Normal life events turn into tax complexity consequences. And without expert help, it’s hard to know if you’re doing your taxes correctly, which adds stress and time.
- Sussman is a treasure. I love how deep he goes into topics.
- Good comparison with DRM. Perhaps it’s fairer to frame C2PA as an authenticity factor alongside other factors like a creator identity or publication credibility?
- It is the product launch channel of a bygone era.
Seems like these days people try to announce products in communities that might use them.
- I think they’re too early for their core market. It’s taking indie and 0-1 devs awhile to dig into ML because it’s a huge complex space. But some of us are starting to put together interesting little pipelines with real, solid applications.
- Check out Vega Lite. It wraps D3 to facilitate charting use cases. https://observablehq.com/collection/@observablehq/observable...
- I'd love to see an attempt at a Schismatrix series.
- Not bad. I always pictured a kind of embiggened Danzig in this role.
- Author Vernor Vinge describes a future "programmer–archaeologist" role in his books. The idea being that humans just keep building layer upon layer of abstractions and systems, and in the distant future there's value in exploring, understanding, and potentially modifying the older layers.
- Congrats Bradford and team!
