UIKit has a few frustrating details, but overall it stands tall above the competition. For a long time the main downside was that you had to deal with Objective C, which is a turnoff for some people. Swift solved all this, and writing UIKit

The original pop-up implementation (which pop-up blockers aim to prevent) breaks the application content/OS boundary, this does not. You don’t want that boundary to be broken, because that makes for less usable and less safe systems.

It’s a vector display. Perhaps one of the most widespread device that used a vector display was the original Asteroids arcade game. There’s a functioning machine at the Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco (at least there was last time I went

I'm a photographer dealing with many terabytes of files (numbers go up fast when you're shooting 100 megapixel RAWs). As far as I'm concerned, having a stack of redundant external drives is a feature, not a bug. I can easily

The installation he had at SFMoMa, in the side entrance, was really great. The space now just feels naked without it.

Yes, that’s inherent to the problem statement. Any guidance on “how to become a gold medalist Olympic athlete” would suffer from the same limitation. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t insightful things to say about building a Google or be

This is why you want a trusted secure hardware boundary. The Apple Pay payment flow on iOS/watchOS requires you to double press the power/side button to authorize a transaction, which userland apps can’t intercept. Similarly the c

I think we tend to overestimate the purposefulness of things humans do. Why do so many artists draw anime girls and post them on twitter? Cause they’re bored, cause they want to practice their skills, cause they want to impress their friend

Knowing how to build effective scaffolding, in the right sequence, that continuously enables tighter and faster iteration loops on a project is a huge meta-skill that contributes to why the high end of experienced engineers are orders of ma

Yep. I once had the CEO of an early stage, venture backed SF startup I worked for confide to me: “you know, every time we interview a woman in her late 20s/early 30s, I just have to wonder if she’ll take maternity leave 6 months in to

Yeah, Bret always seemed quite defensive about Dynamicland being his Next Big Thing, incubating it in semi secret, sharing things only when they're ready, trying to follow some top-down timeline of the next 50 years, etc. I guess he ge

Speaking as a French person living in Japan, I can believe that France was #2 or #3 in the early 2000s, but it’s been degrading for so long that it’s probably way behind Korea/China/etc nowadays. Incessant delays, frequent breakdo

You're right, most people just need basic word search and replace, which pretty much any text editor supports. Supporting regex covers that extra mile that some advanced power users might need, since you were referencing obscure grep f

I highly recommend the novel “Independent People” by Halldór Laxness, which your comment reminded me of.

I love many things about Procreate, but their palm rejection is terrible (ie inexistent) compared to every other drawing app which means the canvas often zooms/rotates wildly while I’m drawing (maybe cause I’m left handed?), making it

The cliché quote of “if Henry Ford has asked people what they wanted, they’d have said a faster horse” is a cliché for a reason. Most people don’t know what they want - that’s why good product designers who can identify, synthesize, and exe

If you're coming through Tokyo and enjoy photography, make sure to check out the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. It doesn't get as much attention as all the other art museums in Tokyo (Nezu, Mori, National Art Museum, etc) but it&#

I did that with a few interns/junior people and they turned out to be disappointing rather than predictably satisfying. I still agree with you, because I want to believe it pays off in the long run. But it definitely comes at a real sh

Well yeah, you gotta grow the business, as any good visitor of this site knows. You can only sell so many $30 buckets of loosely assorted pieces intended for children. There's much more money to be made in $200 sets with the popular IP
