The same is true of the word 'designer', it's shorthand.

I agree, design sensibilities have changed. Like you I would love something a bit more utilitarian and clean. It would be a nice contrast to everything else out there.

I stumbled across this, it looks great and thought someone here might also enjoy it. It looks like she's using an online tool called https://strudel.cc/

Thank you for sharing those Youtube links, they are very informative!

I don’t see why they can’t augment and phase in a new National Insurance ID which has photo on it rather than introducing some new system… Unless of course this new system is for some other unclear purpose.

You need to wear a helmet with it. Years ago a colleague played in the local team and one weekend took a hurley (the stick with the metal band at the end) to the face and had his jaw broken. Never forgot his helmet again.

Some day soon they'll release a phone with no battery and you'll need to BYOB.

I use Macs for my day job, but personally I switched to Ubuntu (and Windows 11 when I have no choice). I have two older Mac's but they are fit for recycling now.

Somewhat related… I have an old dead Wi-Fi camera, it was always buggy but was useful when it worked initially. With a spare raspberry pi kicking around, I’ve put together a better solution using Motion, a Webcam, iNotify and a Dropbox upl

When I was looking at it a few months ago, vector lettering (an outlined name in a logo) when exported the curves were goofy. I brought them into Illustrator and overlaid it on the actual logo and there was a clear difference. Couldn’t find

I’ve worked with various graphic formats for web… for over 20 years at this stage. It’s incompetence to blame rather than file-size, maybe designers or someone in the briefing process that is uninformed that confuses the requirements for ev

In my view, only in a marketing context as some promotional tool - think “advice is give myself at 21”. That sets the context (advice for younger people) and allows you to define roles/filters = “I as a an ABC person to give advice to

That reminds me of the gas shortages during Covid... I used to pay close attention to the busy indicator on Google Maps, if it was busy it had deliveries, if it wasn't busy it wasn't worth taking the chance to drive there..

Jeff Geerling recently posted a video of a keyboard with inbuilt speech to text, my might be of interest! https://youtu.be/qQ42lbLFxv8?si=AyZOQnv0ZI6xiYHm

You need two versions, the detailed one to share afterward and a stripped back one that you talk to.

Great article. I’m a few years older than the author but Flash (the developer software trial) was the very first application I downloaded. On dialup it took forever, but it was the thing that blended my artistic side with tech and showed me

Seconded. I worked in film marketing at the time and a portion of my week was always creating flash ads (the better kind driven by action script) I was there at the shift to JavaScript ads. Google’s tool was, in my opinion, a reaction to fl

In the past 6 months I’ve seen an increasing amount of BYD cars around my area in London UK. I’ve seen one Seal, and several other less known models, but in general they are very nice looking cars. It reminds me of when I first started seei

"Shared reality" - lovely phrase! That's the thing that's missing for most people. In the office everyone is watching different tv shows, movies, listening to different music etc. There isn't much shared reality, at

This is great!!! A lot of digital pianos have midi out, (there was a midi recording tool posted here months ago by another HN member) I wonder if you could use that midi signal to keep what you see in sync with your playing to drive page tu

There are three parts to linkedin; (1) the user facing feeds, the social media part most people see (2) the recruiter platform that recruiters are addicted to, and the integrations with other platforms to this bit. (3) the advertising platf

I still have mine (PSP 1000 ), such an amazing piece of tech. I did an IPS screen mod over covid, it made it 10 times better - no more ghosting of the display and vibrant colours!

It depends on what your overall goal is. GSAP is a great but I’m not sure it’s suitable for SVG as it’s been a long time since I’ve used it. If you have access to creative tools like illustrator and after effects then perhaps Lottie. There

In my mind I was thinking it would be a more locked down parent/child relationship. So a parent could send a simple message to a child and child to then have predefined responses, ok/yes/no or perhaps a simple character input

I wonder is Apples AirTag networks could be utilised to send data, that would remove any need to have a data/wifi connection and it would also have an inbuilt way to keep tabs on a young child. And for most parents a short message is

So.. I don't know what you're talking about but I work in a corporate environment where we can't use JS but we can use SVG images... As a consequence I end up creating graphics in illustrator, exporting to SVG and then hand a
