I have one of the smaller versions of the Looking Glass and it's genuinely like looking into the future. It's a remarkable thing to see live. My main complaint is the low resolution (4k divided into 45 layers). Bigger size and big

Interesting. Nearly 100% of the comments here are negative, perhaps because the title paints things in black and white? Life before workplace group chats was really painful. We had IRC for those of us who knew how to use it, but it was neve

I buy these. I'm pretty easy to please, their 1080p is great, a little bright at the corners but I truly don't care, it looks great when watching actual shows/movies. https://www.walmart.com/browse/electr

I've seen this thing in real life and it's astounding. In the early versions, it was clear that the magic was happening by projecting slices onto the surface of multiple sheets of plexiglass. In this production version, the glass

I often find that if I'm having trouble conveying a point in writing, it's because I don't understand the needs of my audience and the story arc of the information I'm conveying in the context of that audience. You want

I think this is great and like the approach to the design! Amazingly it was almost 10 years ago that I put mine up on Thingiverse - thing 32, while we were still testing before making Thingiverse public :) https://www.thingivers

While I love the idea of an open source tool that explores the same problems that Trello does and potentially even solves it in a very similar way, I have to admit that the exact look and feel being copied here seems like a blatant rip off.

I link to that article in the post, and disagree with their conclusion, but provide lots of examples for everyone to make their own judgement. In short, my 3 arguments are that: "antialiased" is most consistent with the display in other bro
