How beautifully designed was the IBM floppy disk box, visible at the beginning? Great piece of design and branding!

LLMs and complex command line tools like FFmpeg and ImageMagick are a perfect combination and work like magic… It’s really the dream UI/UX from sience fiction movies: “take all images from this folder and crop 100px away except on top,

Meta-reading! I couldn’t stop inspecting my own reading mechanism while reading through the article.

I really love the less famous stories by Andersen that involve objects or insects… A needle, a coin in a foreign land, a teapot that feels empty, a tree (that wants to be cut down!) have deep inner thoughts; a butterfly in love! In all th

Nice morning routine: at 10am a little glass of wine and stringed instruments playing the sweetest possible music.

I don’t feel much, honestly. Although “Office” was still one of the beautiful ones, but they decided to ditch it for 365?

My aunt grifted me “Animali Compassati” when I was a kid… A small book with instructions for animals that you could draw with a compass. The site is unclear somehow… but the instructions were pretty great in the book. https://ww

This specific key combination is not US keyboard specific. I like how they managed to group characters that are formally similar by binding them to the same keys. Examples: en and em are on - Below are maybe Swiss specific? ~ is on N @ is

I want a decent player that syncs with my phone, not a service (I buy my music on BandaCamp)… how hard is it? Also: most of the above were good at a certain point.

Yeah, it’s been a while: - Music (the app, not the service): almost unusable UI/UX, sync problems, two search fields, etc. - Calendar is confusing, glitchy UI. - Mail is a disaster… even the simple search filter doesn’t deliver as expe

I’m still printing on my HP LaserJet 1320 from 20 years ago. It’s a tank. Are there equivalent contemporary models?

A dissing with two of my favourite authors as protagonists, thank you! A small extract of “Transparent Things" by Nabokov that I love so much: how a Caran d’Ache pencil is built. An incredible travel through space and time! https:&#x2

1) More leg space 2) Depending on train you have a small desk so laptop work is possible and comfortable 3) I don't get travel sick on trains while working 4) Toilets are large, many 5) Bar/restaurant on board? 6) On-off boarding

Thank you for sharing this incredible talk! Mark captures one of the main topics in art making perfectly: the power of limitations. Also: “The environment was small enough that you could actually think about it”

The third segment of Norman McLaren’s “Canon” (1964) comes to mind, also with four loops… anything before it? https://youtu.be/2VrnXw9waJI?si=OUM1dmfkJsi2_9Zf&t=256

I think the issue is if you do cmd-x on a file and then don’t paste it will it be deleted…? cmd-c & cmd-opt-v is a different, “safer” operation.

opt-cmd-v for move vs cmd-v for copy? Pretty usable imho!
