   I don’t want to be rude to Adobe employees here — I’m sure they have lots of excellent people — but Figma is quite a technical tour-de-force for a web-based app with very good execution and a tailor-made, unique stack. Cloning it might be h

   At our first start up, we always used to say "RY before you DRY", so: you have to repeat yourself first, consciously, before you can start with abstractions, because bad abstractions are worse than no abstraction

   Personal opinion. The animations are smoother and better designed, the templates are nicer, the UI is simpler, the default fonts they ship with are more recognizable and render better (at least on hi-res displays), and it feels a little eas

   I‘m in the same boat. It‘s the single most annoying thing about the Mac experience. I have NO IDEA what Apple is waiting for.

    You could argue he was Austrian, because Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time and he attended the University of Graz, Austria. I guess many people would like to call him a fellow countryman.

    That’s weird, announcing something like this publicly — wouldn’t that immediately trigger a mole hunt? Or is this to insinuate some sort of Russian secret service cannibalism?

    I think they’ve quietly integrated it into Apple Music? Haven’t paid for iTunes Match in like 5 years, and it still works fine.

    It’s a popular theory, but has been debunked many times, for instance: https://newatlas.com/computers/facebook-not-secretly-listeni... or https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/12/28/181

    I understand your point. But: fiscal balance is merely one of many goals a state has when it invests. There are also environmental concerns, questions of social equality and wellbeing. In other words: a state is not (only) a business. Not e

    To expand on your point, the "ROI" for a state doesn’t have to be strictly financial. It can invest to improve employment rate, to establish itself as a production/business hub, etc.

    You should definitely try the newer Bang and Olufsens, if you‘re into high-end audio - like the Beolab 20 or Beolab 28. They‘re incredible, and actually compare favorably to B&W or KEF in the same price range. The laptop licensing shena

    Where does the author name Moscow State Uni as an example of brutalism? I can only find a paragraph where they associate it with Stalinist Classicism, which seems apt: > But the Metro is not the only piece of architecture that rejects si
