This is one of the cases where it seems more justified than usual. This is not a website intended for end users, maximizing for performance and conversion rate. It's a design showcase by a typographer, for typographers. Every pixel is

I don't know which demo you mean exactly, but 'analog' qualities can be achieved in a number of simple ways in the digital realm (without even getting into advanced modeling). A few of them: - Focusing on upper harmonic conte

It's almost never been a question of how to execute the repair - rather, it's a matter of repercussions for repairing 'yourself' (or authorizing a third party to on your behalf). Actors like John Deere and Apple have tak

If you follow these cases more closely over time you'll find that they're less an example of humans stealing work from others and more an example of typical human greed and pride. Old, well established musicians arguing that young

A few interesting historical tidbits buried inside a pompous vehicle for the author's many subjective value judgments. This gatekeeping rant about 'degenerate' music is a generational drum beat by moral conservatives many tim

In my experience, most of the benefits of Typescript come from type-checking across call boundaries, the point where type-related bugs are most likely to be introduced due to each side of the call often being in different locations and cont

What you see as abuse some would see as user agency. User agency is a very powerful thing, and it's shortsighted to squash it just because your users aren't using it strictly to enhance your content in the way you want. It's

I would bet a lot that more than 200k people in the US care very deeply about this. I agree that the crux of the issue is that the topic is deep and complicated and requires nuanced good-faith discussion and iteration over a long period of

Experimenting with timbre and the nature of sound itself is absolutely musical. That's a big reason why people love to listen to many different kinds of electronic music in the first place (or things like heavily distorted guitars). Mu

It is possible to have discipline, and _also_ still spend your hard earned money on hobby purchases that bring you joy and fulfillment. Complete abstinence has a philosophical purity but humans weren't meant to live like monks.

It's more than just a neat physical artifact - cassettes add a pleasing saturation and natural compression (of the musical kind, not the file kind) to the sound, which most would describe as a bit more 'warmth' and 'ener

I think it's fair to count at least a subset of Arc users in the "wants vertical tabs" camp. I have several friends and co-workers who use it now, and most of them mentioned vertical tabs at least once. I agree that it's

Is there data to support this viewpoint? I've heard it often, but it always seems to lean on anecdata or caveats that the concrete datasets out there have blind spots (which is plausible, but certainly not a given). And those concrete

Generally notebooks are used specifically when statefulness gets in the way, and an interactive feedback loop is the entire end goal, not the means. Being able to iterate on operations at a cell level with reactivity is totally game changin
