Didn't realize that. I could see how it's harder to go by feel without the gap around them. Adding some texture to them could mitigate that.

The book you refer advocates a concept of 'apetite' rather than estimation: "Instead of asking how much time it will take to do some work, we ask: How much time do we want to spend?"

To nitpick on Apple in the keyboard realm, I've never understood Apple's decision to make arrow keys half the size of other keys, presumably to fit them into the corner. I use them significantly more than most other keys and I&#x2

A better link for imagery of the product: https://system76.com/laptops/serval I don't understand why System 76 keyboards for their higher end laptops include a numeric keypad. Doesn't seem worth the downside

It gets gray real fast. The Internet as we know it grew out of military research to maintain communication channels during nuclear war.

I watched the whole thing this evening. Some really clever animation trickery, amidst really uneven quality. Some bits that show much we as a society have evolved (the isle of pleasures). The Permit A38 thing was worthy. I imagine someone w

Acrobatic neutrality that. 'Polarizing' and 'controversial' bothsidesism is inadequate to describe this man. As just one example, he created a 'culture minister' position and his first choice for the position p

I can only imagine. As if _where we are_ is a living thing as well. I remember at the time there was a bend in the road where you'd face the beautiful Himalaya across the valley, but if you looked down the near embankment you'd se

As an American, I traveled in northern India for three months in 2004, two of them sedentary in Mcleod Ganj. It still resonates both from the contrast of India itself, but also in how I was able to happily fill my days without screens and f

And in the Netlify example, they'll sell you analytics based on the logs (adblocker proof) for $9/month. For one case on a site I operate, the numbers are ~2x higher than GA.

What a glorious conclusion to the introduction: "Mental recreation is a thing that we all of us need for our mental health; and you may get much healthy enjoyment, no doubt, from Games, such as Back-gammon, Chess, and the new Game “Hal

I felt a similar reaction to the tone of the article. Twice the author said 'You may as well not have bothered' if no one recognized the value of your output. And your response also frames it as 'What you've done has no

In combination with other linting rules to catch reckless conditionals and multiline returns, it is absolutely safe to enforce no semicolons. And the visual noise is, at least to my eyes, a significant impact.

A side attraction to this would be Johann Johannsson's excellent ambient electronica tribute to his father's work on the 1401: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_1401,_A_User%27s_Manual I often listen to it wh

I don't know if this is better per-se but my diff-so-fancy config sat in [pager] rather than [core]. I verified that git-delta works as configured this way instead: [pager] diff = delta --dark --plus-color="#012800&q

As a suggestion, I'd have the configuration step in 'Configure git to use delta' not reference a theme that doesn't come with the initial install as you've done with 'base-16.ocean.dark'. I had to investig

Trespasser was raw unadulterated ambition. As a teenager when it landed over twenty years ago, I eagerly anticipated its release only to let down by the tedium of the end result. But you could sense the future in it. At the time, I couldn&#

I acknowledge that asking for increased wages may not pitch well. Perhaps the more effective angle is for strikers to demand all health expenses these workers incur during this time be covered.

Consider it 'military rhetoric' if you prefer. It's politically very effective in galvanizing support among Americans for things that are not really targetable (i.e. war on drugs, terrorism). Outside the US, French leader Mac

Depends on the spin. Couldn't you argue this is exploitation of the health of desperate low-paid workers, their family and their communities?

Glad to see this from Amazon, although I see it heading off the inevitable. Wouldn't this be the most powerful moment for employees in 'essential' services to engage in worker strikes? Is there any legal precedent for what go
