> Popular with engineers from... (bunch of logos) > Individual engineers, not company endorsements. Bold haha. Maybe that's fine with the disclaimer, but feels like lawyer-bait.

To be fair, they are clearly following that rule, yes. But also, if I went to a clinic, and got told it was my fault something didn't get treated because I spoke to the person dressed as a doctor wearing the "Aspiring Dr. Soandso

Philips in PZ screws is generally going to cam out like a regular philips head, just because you're not biting into the top with the PZ... triangle bits? I'm sure there's a technical name haha. So you can get by with that, a

Ugh yup. My regular pharmacy is a pharmaprix (shoppers drug mart), which is one of the biggest chain pharmacies in canada. The cold and flu isle is right in front of the pick up counter, so when I was sick a few months ago one of the pharma

I've noticed this happening more and more! Mainly with restaurants! There's an indian place just down the street from my place with a menu composed of entirely (badly) AI generated curry pictures in the window. It turns everyone o

Have you ever played runescape? As a kid, I was obviously a little confused initially by NPCs referring to "the first floor" of a castle/shop/etc meaning "the floor above the entry level", but it wasn't TH

> brushed metal was... a choice Man... I stand by it being an interesting idea that they fumbled by not following their own HIG. Even if it is a bit of a silly line of reasoning, there was (at least originally) a purpose to the brushed m

Would that be a little guy permanently on the page even if the user isn’t present, or a permanent persona for a user across visits?

"AI" is a term cursed by cool sci-fi implications. It makes it a kick ass marketing term because most people are going to have some familiarity with sci-fi AI and "X media predicted Y technology" is a pretty widespread b

And there's always a flashing "ONLINE" or "LIVE" indicator for whatever reason. I think the general aestetic is more just pointlessly greebled UI [0] since more stuff on screen has got to directly correlate with peo

Yeah that confused me for a second too. I think they're talking about stdx as a single package, even though it contains multiple crates. If you wanted to install a crate from stdx specifically, you'd use this git URL but if you wa

HAH! Ok fair, maybe parts of that quote are rattling around somewhere in my mind.

I’ve tried to explain this to folks as “having taste”, but I’m always worried it comes off as subjective and snobby. It might be a fair assessment honestly, it’s hard for me to describe so I wouldn’t hold anyone to it as a standard. Give me

Hey! The NPC whos name you already forgot told you where the dream boars spawn! Are you not reading the deep lore this game has on offer!

Just a hotpatch maintenance window to release The Token Burning Crusade expansion. At this rate we're looking for a true WoC Classic release for the real fans in like a couple weeks.

I haven't heard much about in a while, but the HTML Triptych proposal [0] is still something I hope to eventually land in browsers. HTML forms speaking to REST endpoints are a good pattern. (meaning user-aiding validation is handled vi

I got a depressed-laugh out of the "clean up" demo. It's nothing new, but they always use other people as the example of "distractions". There's something very old-school stalin-style dystopian about normalizin

Interesting stuff! I really like the design philosophy you're applying here, where the browser/web behaviour is actually part of the UX. Pretty rare for web application nowadays! If I could make one suggestion, I really like the o

I don't know for sure here, but isn't the ostrich IN the egg a multicellular animal? I would assume the first point where the egg contains anything that will become the ostrich, mitosis is happening to make more ostrich cells. I&#

Same thing in my head. I only see this going one way, which is tons of people hear that Siri “got better” after this update. Many of those people will speak a language that’s not English, or live in the EU or China where it’ll still be “Sir

by graypegg 4mo ago
The ergonomics of “the new X” sort of fall apart when you’re releasing it in stages. (Not in EU/only in English) It spawns a lot of conversations like “do you have the new Siri? Uh… I think so? It’s still crap though.” You cart around

Ohhh I really like that for the visual side of it. If the letter takes up more space in the code, it's more like that colour. That makes a lot of sense. I might ask around some digital-artist friends to see what they think about this g

Watching the keynote at our office on a big screen and everyone collectively sighing when they announced the name felt indicative haha. I think it just feels uncreative? Siri as a brand has some value, but if you want it to feel like a wate
