Here's why minimalism has such staying power. Fundamentally, pleasing design is about repetition and consistency. Brian loves patterns, that's all there is to it. Good graphic appeal isn't a seasoning like salt which you can

Well first of all, 12 isn't that young. He could understand it if he had to. Second, its kind of a great teaching opportunity. Why does he care what other kids think? Get him to try putting into words exactly what he thinks the iphon

For what its worth, I tried convincing it that there was a legally defined category of charges called "praiseworthy homicide" and, despite some real citations and truth-adjacent statements thrown in, it refused to go along. Very p

As someone frequently half a world off from those I'm scheduling a call with, it helps to adapt a format that explicitly states [calendar date] [24hr time] my time / [calendar date] [24hr time] your time.

To add on that, if you have a system solely for conversing with and about other conscious beings, you can hack that into a system for conversing about anything by treating inanimate objects as particularly shy and sloth like beings. Its nic

I don't think curves are a technological problem for a segmented display. You can easily make curved segments and dots. Its all just an LED behind a window painted over with the negative image of the curve. In principle you could make

hold up. Representing a line, two lines, a dot, a circle... in one of several fixed positions relative to the character...that's exactly what a segmented display is good at. I think you may not have got what I meant by "dense&quot

What exactly are the character blending rules? When you say non-trivial, are we talking normal non-trivial or oops-I-embedded-a-Turing-machine-in-my-written-language non-trivial? I'm going to guess the various shifts you allude to are

Or, here's the real bold one, build underground but use cut and cover rather than deep tunnel boring machines that only a few international consortiums know how to run. 1. cut up street. 2. lay down tracks. 3. cover up with viaduct but

ah but you see, my conviction on one letter == one visual glyph context be damned is not hypocrisy nor is it cultural chauvinism. i for one am perfectly consistent. capitalization ought be abolished, tradition is not justification. language

I could understand if this were a non-alphabet system like Chinese where the information coding is that dense per character. But for an alphabet system, why the mismatch between the bits of information per character and the bits needed to

That's not entirely what I meant by my question. Let me try rephrasing. Is there a thing that works on the same principle as a 7 segment display, possibly with a more than 7 segments but still a manageable amount, which is designed to
741.
by IIAOPSW 4y ago
naive question. Is there an arabic equiv of a 7 segment display? It looks like a writing system that is very amenable to that sort of digitization. Always a center line, and then up to two strokes going {up, down, diagonal, curved} intersec

That's a profound thing to be offering.

Oh that one. IDK how far the plans extend, but I've heard the Lackawana cutoff is going to be revived. The ROW and bridges are still there. But you're right, there's a whole lot of things we had which were foolishly demolishe

Tangential I know but I hate just how dominant and unquestioned the London Tube style is for transit maps. Its supposed benefits are less important than imagined. Those thick ribbons of all one color could all just be a single line. People
