The lettering in the comic is too cramped to be legible. Even after zooming in, I’m having a hard time reading it. Also some of the letters are not fully connected or have flourishes that look like underlines. Comic lettering needs to be cl

Another thing is that you are used to seeing yourself flipped in a mirror, but you are unflipped in photos. Everyone's face is asymmetrical, and most people have a dominate side which you will instinctively focus. When you look at a ph

In Indiana they seem to be making a comeback. I have seen them on specialty menus a few times, but I find them to be awful. I am not a picky eater, and have sampled some other things in this list like ramps, but I don't think I will ea

Epic or Roblox may join that list. While FB/Meta is trying to approach the Metaverse from a social angle, I think the problem space is much better solved as a Video Game. Second Life is well established but I haven’t seen much in the w

Chatbots are about as useful as phone trees. They can help solve the top 5 easy/common problems, but they are useless passed that. Anyone who has worked in a call center knows that more than half the calls are about the same couple of

If you want some actual info on Procedural Generation, then watch the talks from Roguelike Celebration. It's a convention focusing on roguelikes, which seem to attract those more interested in the programmatic side of game development.

My sister was a hostess for an upscale restaurant and had a gun pulled on her because she asked someone to wear a mask. The worst part, instead of calling the cops or asking them to leave, her managers still had her seat the party. She does

I think the issue with syntax like this is that unless the compiler/language is smart enough, this syntax can be significantly slower than traditional for-loops. For-loop blocks are often scoped differently than arbitrary closures, can

Yeah I have noticed the breading is different than traditional Southern Fried Chicken. Usually there's a garlic soy sauce and some spicy sauce made with gochugaru. Also the pieces are more like what Americans would call chicken tenders

Can anyone living in SK share some info on their views of Fried Chicken? In San Francisco half of the new Korean restaurants are actually Fried Chicken restaurants. They are really good, but as someone from Indiana its kind of like eating N

I have gone through this book, and it’s the best primer I have found for graph drawing. It covers a wide range of topics, but it is written for an audience with a working knowledge of graph theory. The book is more of a collection of academ

Platform or Platform as a Service? Scriptable implies code, but platforms can be extended via config, no code UIs, code, or something else. It’s very popular in enterprise software where a base product can be sold but extended by customers

Anecdotally most of my friends just use it as a timer, and maybe a weather app or music player. There are a few automation nerds who wire their entire lives through it, but I find them to be the minority, even in the tech community. Just as

This correlates with an analysis I read early in the pandemic. In fact they theorized many minor plagues of the last few centuries were coronavirus and that most common cold strains were descendants from these. But since it’s not the black

Like all things, the answer is it depends. Returning consistent API responses will usually be better for future API consumers. If you are deciding between sending back 1 field or 5 fields, it’s going to about the same since the overall requ

Proper use of chrome dev tools will help you here. Instant feedback based on modifying css in the page is about as good as you get when debugging. The computed tab really helps also.

Fashion is well known to be cyclic. Design is just a subset. Look at the current fashion trends that mimics the 90s and early 2000s and you will see the same parallels. My theory is that fashion is largely driven by what art people were exp

The last part advises to be feature conservative to avoid promises all together. For that look to enterprise software where backwards compatibility is a legal agreement. This carries a bunch of alternative issues.

I think this is in part due to how quickly software is developed. Since reqs > mvp can be hours, days, or at most weeks, there is a lot pressure on designers for quick turn around. My friend is an Industrial Designer, and works on Faucet

We live in an electromagnetic world. You can blow minds even in educated circles when you explain that most physical forces are just electrical repulsion. Dark matter is then just matter that doesn’t interact too much with electromagnetic f

Hackathons are not about tech, they are about business value now. They are a chance for individual contributors or low level managers to present business ideas to their bosses. Bosses don’t really care about tech.

Sad but true. Hackdays should be called Sketchdays. Judging is often very short, and can be easily constrained to happy path. My experience as a developer is that UI work is worth way more than backend for winning a hackday. Work is so UI s

Was this written by an AI? It almost makes sense; it uses all the words and phrases I would expect from a designer. But I am failing to understand what they are actually talking about.

If you think about yourself as the cynical, pessimistic, humorless guy, then that is what you will project. Many people find passions fascinating, even if it's something they themselves are not directly interested in. But if it surroun

Because there is no right answer when it comes to social skills. It isn’t something that you can study and formulate in the same way you can an engineering problem. Even calling them skills casts them in the wrong context. On top of that, e
