Well, you can be as firm as you like about the claim, it's still reads as if Dieter Rams worked for Apple. Dieter Rams no doubt had significant influences and admiration for those who shaped his work and design philosophy, should we cr

A few reasons that occur to me: 1. The volume of snow to be collected would have been significantly greater than the resulting water. 2. Heating snow at elevation requires more energy. 3. Perhaps getting snow into the steam generator wasn&#

We don't need another version of HyperText Markup Language. We need something else. I don't know what it is, but another way to markup text doesn't sound like a great fit for a new way to build user interfaces.

I recently interviewed at Microsoft with a relatively well-known VP. I was surprised as I didn't think I was a fit in terms of domain experience, and then I was encouraged to apply online for another role with the same VP & team. A

Another interesting datapoint: Every time I try out something other than React (Vue, Svelte, etc), I have to learn some new syntax, understand the runtime magic, and add a syntax/LSP to my editor. But React is just JS/TS, which is

I'm not sure what my personal concerns are specifically, so I don't have a good answer to that question. But I think there's a difference between a crud photoshop picture that a person has on their PC, and a (more or less)
