Very nice! I like how the last guessed country is displayed in the map in the back. It's a shame it doesn't pan to that location, because it's often located outside the viewport. It would be useful to have a way to zoom out a

I knew about the Hemingway method but didn’t know there was a psychological name for that effect. It also goes well with the pomodoro technique, because that almost forces you to interrupt your progress while in the middle of something, lea

On iOS, you can either press it or slide it. The problem is that a lot of websites have started using them and only implement the click/tap event, not the mouse press and move event, or the slide event. So they end up being quite misle

Interesting. Last time I rented a car, I had a choice of multiple SUV brands, and I ended up picking the Ford one because it wasn't too big, had Carplay, and had lots of physical buttons. It was a pleasurable experience. However, we&#x

Which brand of car did you end up buying? I've heard Mazda and Toyota were pretty good at keeping essential command controls as physical buttons.

That challenge was surprisingly hard. Even with the couple of landmarks (I think a few small bushes). It’s weird how high the difference was between what looked like a perfect circle and what was actually expected. It was almost like an opt

And the single seeking freelancer is not exactly a job/project offer but rather a community to join, which is not a bad opportunity per se but probably not exactly what freelancers are looking for in this thread.

Have you tried the D'Nealian Pencil Grasp? It might not improve your handwriting but it’s way more comfortable because you apply virtually no tension on your fingers: https://www.ot-mom-learning-activities.com/pencil-he

There's a list of older games you can play at the bottom of the page.

I would have suggested having 2 zones per tile: one to rotate left, one to rotate right. But the tap zone is quite small already, so it's prone to errors. One slower but more UX-friendly option would be to allow long-press on a tile, i

I like the "Ideal number of clicks" criteria. Adds an additional challenge, and increases replayability.

Not really something you missed but if I want to increase the “viewport” of an image, I just take a screenshot (to clipboard), create a new document, paste the screenshot, and then go back to my original image and copy/paste it to the

So the friend custom-built these speakers, and then “configured” them when installing them? What company did he work at?

I knew about this game at launch but only bought it last year to play on a Windows tablet. Always thought I’d love the game… And I did. My only regret was that I couldn’t play it more often, on the go, on my phone. I understood why, conside

The Air is probably too thin to not become too fragile in bigger sizes. Just get a MacBook Pro in 14 or 16.

These are great choices. I was going to mention Inter and San Francisco. Whenever I stumble upon a website with great body text, it often happens to be using one of these two typefaces.

I agree. A lot of comments here are in past tense: “Miniclip was…”, “the games were…”, “I loved…”, “they used to…” You can reminisce the good times but you can’t be sad they’re transitioning when their core audience (including me) haven’t v

Thank you SO MUCH for this. English isn’t my first language, and many times I’ve come across sentences like this. I’ve even been collecting them whenever I came across them, on Reddit mostly. I’ve always wanted to find out why this type of

Is it possible to disable the animation when switching between spaces? It’s something that has always prevented me from using such a setup. I’d rather have instant switch, considering how often I would perform this action.

I agree. As a designer, this is the point that makes the most sense to me. Rounded corners allow easy content “attribution”, and provides a natural grouping pattern. Second would be how rounded corners on buttons or inputs helps distinguish

For those who want a similar system but stay digital, you can use Things from Cultured Code. It has the concepts of Today, Someday, and Anytime. The process for me is similar to OP: each morning I add tasks to my “Today” list, which can car

It’s because there are 2 conflicting properties here: width and aspect-ratio. The user has set both. So when the content overflows, which one should be nullified? In this case they chose width to be maintained, and aspect ratio to be ignore

I was obsessed with the Ligne Claire years ago. There was this black and white drawing of a plane cruising above a tumultuous ocean, taken from the album L’Étoile Mystérieuse. It was purely done with black lines but the movement and the dep

Yes, the viewer has way more information than Columbo, so should be able to solve it even more easily. And yet it’s still extremely hard.

Of course! I actually know of this divisible by 3 rule, and use it to test out all numbers, like 87, 111, or 69, but somehow forget to apply it to 51…
