I was shocked when playing Tak at the Zoka coffeeshop behind uVillage in Seattle another customer recognized it and said that the inventor lived around the corner. I really like the game, mainly as the rules are incredibly simple. Also don

I’m surprised they had that many stylists — most of this could be done by AI and a handful of tastemakers. Unless by stylist they also mean customer care, which they probably do as this article mentions hiring 2k people in lower cost US cit

That’s what I don’t understand about the argument against price gouging. Fresh water is hard to come by, ergo the price goes up. If the product wasn’t in demand it wouldn’t go up in price. By artificially forcing a low price it guarantees

What’s better? Waiting for a yearly review to talk about why something 6 months ago was low? It is better to adjust these problems as they came up. That way everyone’s on the same page. There’s no doubt that X is an important metric and

I have to idle my 2015 car in the winter so that the windows don’t fog up. If there was a way to get the defrost to turn on at full blast with hot temps and not running the car I would be all for it.

Most of the time toggles are done poorly in that I can’t tell if they are on or off. There’s no consensus on if that is left or right. Or lit up or darkened. It is maddening. In my opinion the right way to do toggles is to have area below

I quickly looked over your GH pages for examples and didn’t see anything beyond the link to your personal blog, which you note hasn’t been updated in a year and a half. Maybe making a post on that blog about how you use your own software wo

I use the F11 key daily. By accident though and has me searching the keyboard for how to get out of full screen mode. Also to your point about people having to look at the keys to use the F ones: why not replace them with something useful?

What I got out of the article is that the cost to make one more widget for a software company is minimal, and thus is mostly profit. A non tech company has material costs (non-non consequential? :) that means their growth isn’t going to h

Second step would be to have a way for the client to report an error. I’ve seen a number of systems where this isn’t the case — just looking at the server logs everything looks okay until a week later that client calls to say they haven’t
