This one pops up a lot - I love the design and poster aspect. I am always amazed how many of these 'Laws' trace back to Nielsen Norman Group data and research over the years. Many UX trends are even named after them! Jakobs law...

I want to like and use Zed, but in my mind there was some odd commerce, or 3rd party share decision that was made which had me avoid it for security reasons. Like... Zed was endorsed as the only editor for something... can anyone remember o

I worked for a decade in what I would consider the highest level of our kids' privacy ever designed, at PBS KIDS. This was coming off a startup that attempted to do the same for grownups, but failed because of dirty money. Every securi

I love this absolute example of old systems interfering with new systems, rewriting old systems. My old man started his tech work on hot rods, then mechanical typewriters, calculators, eventually continuing into mainframe electronics and ne

I have been developing a game with this process, specifically for portability, reach and distribution across multiple game engines and platforms. I find CUX to be very intuitive for prototyping. But my game is Language and HCI at heart, log

I want to add in, as I used a ton of JS back when for a GUI that would build prepress ready PDFs and ship em direct to giant xerox printers for a company called Copy General - the early days of on demand printing. The pdf format was awesome

The problem to solve is that these clubs exist already with low membership. Join a local Masonic lodge, or other local social org if you want to meet men you will learn from. Boy Scouts, DeMolay and other boys youth orgs got their start in

We’ve been using Lottie for years now for certain PBS KIDS brand animations and it has multiple benefits over other formats. As with any runtime rendering in a 2D plane, it takes performance hits at scale. Lottie implements into all our pip

The explore/exploit tradeoff immediately seems like a natural connection to some synaptic pruning and forking research that has been popping up around neurodiverse brain patterns. Is the individual following a typical known neural path

I could not find the remote to my TV this morning and attempted to use my iPhone instead. By the time I arrived at the correct UI my 3 yr old had already found a PS4 controller and was able to control the TV and navigate to where he wanted

I remember my excitement when CSS3 became reality in modern browsers. I was following this project closely, which attempted to use recreate Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style in CSS. That project made it clear just how

This was my immediate thought also - as I embrace my ADHD as success, not failure. After 10 years of web design/dev work I found myself spending more time in SQL than design and left to study classical animation. At 20 years I have man

I am a core Brackets user and have been since day 1, as a designer/animator that frequently needs to write code. I suspect that I'll continue to use it without support as it is, or possibly shift back to Sublime. I have always pre

There will be more horror stories like this as Teslas are not maintainable by their owners, making them throw away vehicles. Last I read, Tesla service manuals are only provided as a subscription service to the public... and only in Massach

Disney has used live action as a tool from early on, you can see this plain as day in Snow White's dancing scenes from 1937 because the movement feel awkward. And this is from animators with classical training who knew where the line n

by nye2k 10y ago
The greatest takeaway here is that, by using live action as reference for both character posing and timing, you're able to shortcut visual appeal. Read The Illusion of Life, Animators Survival Kit and the Preston Blair book if you&#x27

Compared to what? I'd argue that the Flash security argument is just a regurgitation of headlines people are reading. Every prolific web technology has a large number of CVE's.

The entire web is a security problem. Flash has a shrinking market for several reasons, security is not a main factor of this.

You absolutely cannot easily reproduce a proper Flash experience in JavaScript, or Canvas. This is a problem we've been working on for years building animated experiences for kids, and the js "equivalent" is heavy on assets a

by nye2k 10y ago
Why? If a site chooses to have a flash experience, why inhibit that? Google is bullying an already narrowed market. There are experience that Flash simply handles better, and HTML5 cannot emulate. Animated experiences are at the top of that

For personal use, the simpler and smaller the grinder, the better. True coffee enthusiasts will know the freshness of the bean because the roast date is on the bag. They will frequently alternate between different roast, when one bag is dow

This is practical, however I strongly disagree with this semantically. The term should always be accompanied with 'artificial' or another name should be invented as they are vastly different fields. Search Neural Network, I assur

If we could stop using the term Neural Networks in relation to computing, that would be great. Computers don't have neurons.
