The AS400/OS400-like interfaces always seem like they should be more popular super-user interfaces. They seem best at navigating tree-like data but most OS level interfaces feel tree-like these days. I think the affordances work a litt

The recent movie Perfect Days (2023) seems to reflect this as well. From wikipedia: "[Director Wim] Wenders was invited to Tokyo by Koji Yanai to observe the Tokyo Toilet Project, a project in which Japanese public toilets were redesig

Is there a word/map for the transit accessibility for each point (1m^2?) on the map and drawing that? (maybe an integral of the isochrone?) E.g. pick a point on a map, sum the area of the isochrone (30minute area? weighted sum?) to get

Why did the gig economy pick up tipping culture? Why did Instacart need to? I've read about why tipping exists in the restaurant industry and what happens to businesses that try to avoid it. But for these new businesses without establi

I enjoy BTT bunches and use a non-apple keyboard/mouse. Rebinding the f1-f4 keys to tab navigation (previous, next, close tab, new tab) works well. Rebinding extra mouse buttons to get gestures back on non apple mice (tilting scroll wh

The phenomenon of adding lanes not reducing congestion is generally a reference to the "Downs-Thomson Paradox"( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downs–Thomson_paradox ) or "Triple Convergence" related res
