I'm not intimately familiar with the UI/UX principles behind Liquid Glass so I could be wrong, but the main difference I see here is that in the second screenshot, on the Reeder app on the left, the "floating" section is

The point is that "normal users" don't care about niche hobbies in general either.

So the proof for your claim is two counterexamples?

So instead you get a sophomoric meta-ending that has absolutely no originality and shits on decades of storytelling? The ending is trash and an insult to the fans' intelligence because the author can't accept he's "just&

Looking at it from a slightly different angle, one I find most illuminating, removing "friction" is like removing "difficulty" from a game, and "friction free" as an ideal is like "cheat codes from the sta

Any reference material (papers/textbooks) on that topic? It does sound fun.

You can't be unaware of the existence of the field of accessibility in design? It's literally one of the trendiest things in design, probably trendy enough for you to specialize in it entirely if you wanted to.

If it was designed, it was designed by a designer. That that designer also happened to play other roles, or that it's a CLI and not a GUI is immaterial. You're clearly confused about what designers do and who they are.

Again, this is lazy, topsy-turvy thinking. It's conjuring up a purely academic definition of utopia as a corpus of texts and saying that since they're all boring, that must mean utopia is by definition boring. The point of utopian

> given utopias are, almost by definition, pretty tedious. By definition , if they're tedious, they're not utopias. It's more that writing convincing utopias is hard and people are lazy.

For a fun story on Prussian Blue, read the first chapter of Benjamín Labatut's When We Cease to Understand the World .

A24 is at the same stage of the hype curve Netflix was with House of Cards. They're going to commoditize their own aesthetic, expand until quality is mediocre at best, rinse and repeat.

Everyone in Silicon Valley agrees with the All-in Podcast clowns? Nah. PG himself has had beef with David Sacks. It's just surprisingly quiet.

What's most puzzling to me is how at this point a larger part of SV hasn't distanced itself with All-in Podcast-adjacent people a lot more vocally. I think the lasting power of that region hinges on some important voices doing tha

At that point get someone to do it for you for x% of what they're getting you back and live blissfully unaware of arcane tax code specifics.

Being French and having traveled in every corner of the country for ~30 years, never once have I heard of that, much less actually traveled with my own linen. Sounds like it's simply some thinly veiled extra charge for cleaning?

Yeah I wonder what would happen if you encountered something different from where you come from while traveling.

If you've done any sort of optimization / operations research, you know that most things can (sometimes unhelpfully) be rephrased in terms of an optimization problem. If "success" (whatever that means) is to be seen that

Elements of Style is one of the most assigned textbooks around. It's far from "forgotten."

Oh great, can't wait for our AI overlords to control us more! That's definitely compatible with a "utopian society"*. Funnily enough, I still think some of the most interesting semi-recent writing on utopia was done ~15

Beyond Wikipedia, more generally, it doesn't account for consumer surplus in any exchange, which should be the only quantity that matters if we were to build a metric that means something. Unfortunately, that's much easier said th

Correct. And those are the wordmarks I'm not talking about. Let me try it differently: Would you say typeface choice plays no functional role in the branding of companies that do rely on pre-designed typefaces? Vignelli's work

Take any famous wordmark and replace it with a different typeface. You have a different wordmark. Typefaces aren't only used in body text. If you've read Bringhurst and are a typeface nerd, you should know you're arguing in b

The fact you think this is a $100k watch shows you may not really be looking at it with the right framework?

Some people around here think Elon Musk is good at public speaking. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the opinions of nerds on topics like charisma.
