As much as I appreciate Dieter Rams approach to design, I must say that favors one particular kind of design. For a much more encompassing discussion on design (which could include software architecture) this 1972 interview with Charles Eam

I see tons of BlackBerries in Mexico, when three years ago there were none. They have become an affordable phone here that works just fine for Facebook, email and chatting. In a certain sense they are the old reliable Nokias of yesteryear.

Cancun is a "designed" city and the core districts are laid out inspired in Mayan hieroglyphs. This makes terrible urbanism but some pretty sweet woodcut maps. http://woodcutmaps.com/11254

I've been a designer for the better part of my professional career (12+years). For the past three years or so I've been getting more and more involved in programming, to the point that it's the majority of what I do day to day. What I've ta

A much more straightforward abuse would be pointer-events: none. Just position an element over the 'like' button and let clicks pass through it: http://jsfiddle.net/rVxTn/

I think one of the most revealing moments in my design education was when a teacher asked us to design a packaging that looked cheap . We all felt relief because we thought it meant we didn't have to be as careful with the quality of our d

It's easy to sight of just how much things you must know just to use the command line. When I read you comment I wondered what other options were available, so I tried... $ls -h This is what I've seen with most command line tools, but it do

Yes to all of this. I always rehearse what I'm going to say entering any country legally. They will grind you to find inconsistencies and sometimes you just say honest mistakes that will take you to a second round of interrogation. For exam

You mean to view? Yes, it's all there though it is js generated from coffeescript. As for using it for personal projects go ahead, though I'd say the code is obfuscated by incompetence :)

I'm the author and I submitted it last night, not sure how it went through the repost filter. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3503758 but glad to see it again. In addition to d3.js and Raphael, it uses an implementation of L a b for D

The formula for finding the difference in color is CIEDE2000, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_difference#CIEDE2000 , the actual number is quite meaningless, but in case you're interested: score = "perfect" if distance <= 2 sco

I'm used to be around programmers, and I appreciate their directness, but your comment comes off a bit grating. It looks like your screen size is slightly less than 1024, and that your default sans-serif font is quite wide. Are you playing

I've programmed probably only four or five serious projects in my lifetime. I've seen that—as I learn more about software architecture—the quality of my code increases, but my output decreases. In a certain way I miss the early days when th

I think most people here are missing the point, probably because of the gimmicky examples in the landing. Geolocation is not about localizing experiences, it's about providing sensible defaults and contextual information. For example, the p

Yes, it is. But sometimes you need to adjust it depending on your needs. For example, highway signage needs extra tracking (space between letters) and you often need to adjust it manually. Also, if you ever designed a typeface (not very lik

I'm using the absolute value. The game has "tolerance" depending on the amount of letters you have to kern. So, if you have to kern 1 letter, you get 1px tolerance. 5 letters has 5px tolerance, and so on.

Thanks for noticing! I put a pretty large effort on making it completely usable without touching the mouse. Safari (but not Chrome) has some gotchas that make it a real pain to work around.
