When questions like this come up, this is one of the two sets of "rules" that I often point to. The other is Tania Rascia's (which shows each rule being applied to the same example, instead of each rule being demonstrated in

Changing the context to voice markup doesn't in any way change or address the core point, which is that you really seem to be expressing that you only care about the way that you happen to consume text and therefore any other viewpoint

As a (relatively, though age is catching up with my vision, admittedly) able-bodied Westerner who reads no other languages than English, I find this opinion shocking. Would paraphrasing your point as, "I don't think anyone who rea

The answer to "Why did Google do ____?" is _always_ - and has always been - because it was better in the long run for Google.

There's no one single thing, except internalizing a bunch of small ones. My favorite guide is by Tania Rascia [1]. It walks through each of the "rules" and applies them to a simple example. My second favorite is by Anthony Ho

Based in part off Gibson's work, there's also The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman. First published as Psychology of Everyday Things in '88, it's arguable whether it counts as "older" but seems pr

An example might be helpful. Imagine you had buttons that come in small, medium, and large sizes. You want those buttons to have similar, proportional padding, letter-spacing, and border-radius. Margin around the buttons, however, should al

I can't wait to try this. I understand why folks praise III, but II remains my favorite for the art style and slightly smaller scope.

Github Pages can use Jekyll to turn markdown files (mostly just plain text) into navigable pages for free. It might not be as simple as you'd like, though, depending upon your comfort level. https://pages.github.com/ G

I just ran into this myself and came to see if others ran into it. I'm blocked (while logged in, with strict settings and NoScript) on Firefox Developer Edition, but it's working on a relatively default (and not logged in) version

There's an alternate, high level overview with a few animations, based upon the same material at https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/space-based-missile-defense... as well.

AKA: Thousands of Image File Formats. I still remember trying to explain to a previous employer why I needed Debabelizer to create appropriately-striped TIFFs in addition to Photoshop. In hindsight, the me of today would have said then, &qu

`body::before { cursor: none; }` doesn't quite do the trick because the SVG is larger than the notch itself and includes a lot of dead space. Changing that to be a smaller image + some margin should be an option.

The Battle for God by Karen Armstrong has been a huge influence in how I view and interact with folks who are resistant to change. While the book itself is about religious fundamentalism, the primary thesis - that fundamentalism is a repe

I'd suggest that Jeff Bezos is unlikely to pay a meaningful amount in taxes (in this case, meaning "relative to the action" rather than "relative to his overall wealth"), regardless of what he does.

With the caveat that I've relatively little experience with ST, they're in the same ballpark and probably roughly equivalent. BBEdit is probably dated in some ways and mac-only, but _possibly_ even more stable and quicker than Sub

There's a fair bit you can do to set config with scripting. I've only done this for initial setup (new machines at a small firm), but you may be able to find a good chunk of what you need and update/run it as often as you&#x2
