Until I need some software which is abandoned and depends on this version which is used on an internal network and thus I’m less concerned about its vulnerabilities. Suffice to say there’s always a case for its use. I think it should be mad

I think for this and for photos it’s more the idea of imperfection. That patina, wabi-sabi or other entropic term gives an emotional response I don’t find in digital. I’m not looking for lossless digital I can’t really discern, which DAC ba

More relatable perhaps is the idea of charisma. If I’m interviewing a technically skilled person who is a bull in a China shop when it comes to personality, it doesn’t matter what they create - they’re breaking the team with their oblivious

What we are entitled to do, what is polite to do and what we can do for clickthroughs are three different things. Coming to conclusions on partial information may as well be jumping to them in many circumstances. The ideal approach would be

Most of the time scrollbars should be designed away. Unless the experience is moving at an undetermined rate to fly past the desired content multiple times, there are better tools. Page keys, scroll wheels (and all of the synonymous gesture

I would love to hear some resources for improving. Separating the chaff from the wheat on resources is always difficult for the layman, similar to learning an instrument for the first time. Most things I find on improving writing is related

Trivialities in logistics and their impact on you as a person are two different things. If I added 500ms of latency to a keyboard (ssh, a bunch of VPNs, etc) I imagine a janitor would say ‘it’s a trivial part of your job, you’re getting pai

I recently ordered an illustrated novel with a rather heavy paperweight - Amazon shipped it in weakly padded envelopes and the corners were banged up. I even bothered to contact their customer service to ship it with better packaging, to no

I'm curious how you arrived at some of these conclusions. - Sluggish UI -> I've never experienced this in the last three years of using my 2017 MBP. - Inadequate package manager -> Somewhat nebulous, most package managers on

I find the trick is to do maintenance while doing meaningful (as described by the powers that be) work. So when a new feature or bug fix is asked for, add another 15% to the time required, and clean up the code base a bit. The knee-jerk, wh
