Most of those pockets, notice, are in the side seam itself -- allowing them to be made without changing the order of construction, but requiring a zipper to keep things from falling out. I realize that within-the-seam vs, welt pocket is ext

Haha, no, no sales. Making clothes to fit one specific person is an relatively easy task. Making clothes to fit distant internet strangers is much, much harder; and wouldn't pay as well as making software, anyway. Even the US startups

Yeah, when I have a moment I'll rewrite that section. I clearly missed the mark tonally. At least I know folks read all the way to the end, I suppose.

Go for it! The main construction trick here is remembering that to put a welt pocket on the outseam means you need open access -- so you close the inseam last , opposite the usual order of things.

I guess I should re-write that postscript, given how much attention it's receiving. I have nothing against cargo pants! My point was just that they're solving very different problems for different people, and are stuck in a differ

I suppose I didn't include photos with the phone fully in the pocket because you genuinely can't tell it's there. There's a slight bulge from the welt of the pocket itself, which I'm still experimenting with, but wi

I solemnly swear I've experienced no swinging or banging. These pants are fitted at the thigh, and the pocket bag is inside the pant leg. I genuinely forget my phone is there, even on long walks. And there's no bulge at the knee b

Wasn't meant to be an attack -- they just solve a different problem for a different demographic. Like I said -- if you can wear cargo pants at work, then these pants probably don't mean much to you.

The pocket opening is placed where the pants are still close fit around the thigh -- I've experienced no swinging or banging of the contents.

I love 3B1B, but it's a little disingenuous to attribute small integer ratios being are consonant to our brains/taste because of the simple polyrhythms. Our brains never receive the waveforms in that way; the ear performs a mechan

This analysis does not include devDependencies. The counts and statistics in it relate to strict dependencies only.

by diiq 6y ago
You're right! That works great for the package itself, and it's what I do. But will you also chase down and open on github all that package's dependencies, and their dependencies, etc? It is that, more recursive problem that

by diiq 6y ago
You're right, that is a perfectly valid occurrence! However, I did not count dev- or peer- dependencies in cycles; only true-blue dependencies. So all the cycles I counter were either not of that type, or failing to use devDependencies

Where did you read peerDependencies was deprecated? It's still valid and recommended, AFAIK: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#peerdependencies

You're absolutely right that I am doing a certain amount of "searching under the spotlight", here. The metrics I measured were the ones I had the information and computational power to measure. You want to see how many "

Munsell's amazing! This similar to Munsell, but where his space was based on specific, literal sample colors, this one is based on a mathematical model -- but the experiments to determine that model were remarkably similar to his! The

I built a similar LCH space explorer, which doesn't require Java: http://palette.sambleckley.com/ I use it pretty often; it's easy to ensure accessible contrast, etc, when L values are consistent.

Vistimo.com, the tool I built and use when I run estimates for my clients, uses log-normals and monte-carlo simulation to conquer this exact problem. Really exciting to see other people beginning to recognize and use the same statistical to

I use vistimo.com for tracking what I build for clients; I built it specifically to alleviate the harm of the linear backlog, and help everyone share the same broad vision of where we're going, how long it will take, and what's ch

Tom Keating did this with a few of his forgeries -- took the location of a known painting and then mentally turned 90 or 180 degrees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyA8fkMJcDE

I'm not sure it's fair to call it history -- it is because of history (what isn't?), but what is described is the way things are right now , eh?

I'd love to have heard some actual quotes from your mother; how did she get into it, what are the best/worst/strangest parts of her day, how does she think the future will look given the lack of young COBOLists, etc.

Here are slides from a talk I gave on just that subject: http://diiq.org/5questions.pdf tl/dr: Some useful vocab for phrasing questions you can ask yourself about your code, as you write it, in order to improve it.
