It doesn't feel right to take a story about perhaps the most important crisis we are currently facing as a planet and make it difficult to read.

Perhaps. Some might disagree with that, but the "gender neutral pronouns" debate is both long and boring. After all, he and she have both been used throughout English writing to denote all people male and female. Certainly a perso

Yet it's oddly responsive.

True. Maybe he/she mentors a child in his/her spare time.

I agree. The section concerning the design of card tables pre and post American revolutionary war due to the influence of American puritanical morality was fascinating and has stuck with me now many years after first reading it. Won't

While looking at those salads, I was imagining being stuck behind a patron making one. That would be the worst.

At first all my successful cars on genghisKhan looked like knight's helmets, now they are experimenting with looking like shrimp.

Zooming is really buggy for me in Sketch. Sometimes I just fly around the canvas, and I haven't figured out a good way to recenter like double clicking the hand tool in illustrator.

It could even be a little smaller if the max-width and margin were placed on the body tag. You don't even need the wrapper!

I've been adopting an incremental approach. Enough style to get you going, and as you produce content, you refine the design. So by the time you announce it to your friends, the world, etc., you've got a bit of content and a good

Part of the message of the text is about establishing connections — that someone reading the text the author wrote is "magical". The magic works both ways. The author should get to enjoy his analytics and "see" people re

Written language is a system of images — sometimes with phonetic significance, sometimes ideogramatic.

When I'm sitting on the subway and bored, I love to flick through Instagram. Over the years, we got cinemagram and vine and they were fun but when zooming between stations they were so slow to load. Instagram, though, was pretty quick

Perhaps not like Renaissance art but the Renaissance period in terms of importance of new ideas, methods and styles.

It seems as though the time it takes to engineer Soylent could be used to cook and freeze a bunch of food.

If a salesperson can make you feel buyer's remorse before you even purchase the item, then perhaps you were doubtful that you wanted/needed the item to begin with. That said: You don't have to do what the salesperson suggests

I too was expecting something very different. Something nice and uncreative.

If you are really looking for some readability tips, might I suggest one? Via the incredibly influential, albeit dry, _The Elements of Typographic Style_ by Robert Bringhurst[1] concerning the "comfortable measure," which I find to be the m

Remember when you couldn't even make a shape other than a square or a rectangle with CSS?

I tend to agree with this line of thinking. The icons are becoming solidly ideogrammatic. They express the idea and are no longer literal — similar to Chinese characters or Kanji. For example, east 東, which is the character for sun 日, in th

I really wish facebook could help me manage the outer reaches of my social sphere—those I contact infrequently, whom I care about, but am not in constant communication. Something that would prod me to send a message or something to an old f

I recommend setting your terminal's hostname to an emoji for maximum fun.

Several indie game makers I've talked to are really excited about this for all these reasons + the low barrier of entry ($99).

If you want to be well liked, don't ever be the person who directly corrects other's pronunciation of words.

Same problem as GIF. Gib, short for giblet, the innards of a bird, can be (and is) pronounced both ways — "j"iblet and "g"iblet. Where I'm from, it's always been "j"iblet, but I wouldn't mind if someone pronounced it differently.

There is something charming about 256 colors though.

Don't recommend Archer to your mother — words to live by. I try not to hate anything — words to live by — but have to say that the writing is really poor in Big Bang Theory. I don't like poor writing. What the IT crowd has in its corner is

I often read discussions asking for designers to get involved in open source software, but maybe some PR folks are needed as well.

While we're at it, doesn't being a doctor look easy too? Just ask a few questions, read the nurse's notes, prescribe some medicine.
