I haven't finished the article yet, but I think one thread that's supposed to connect those two ideas is that in both cases, it's important for the external surface to be consistent with the worldview of a naive reader, while

I think using pure black is actually more analogous to compressing your audio. Excessive compression (+ normalization) maximizes the recording's volume in the same way that using pure black as your default body text maximizes contrast;

I think part of the reason this doesn't come up in Ruby is that Ruby doesn't have Python's powerful namespacing system. In Python, it's reasonable to have a package with just functions in it, whereas in Ruby, writing a top-level method mean

I think he meant that he should be able to customize the output using special comments, instead of needing to write Ruby.

He's zooming in so you can see the pixels. He obviously isn't talking about putting giant, stretched-out buttons on an actual site.

Right, but the text of this blog post claims in multiple places that they're supporting traditional cab drivers somehow. "Taxi drivers are going on strike, and while they circle City Hall in hopes of getting a better deal..." "...making sur

It's interesting that in 2002 he wasn't using any revision control at all. Was that common for open source projects at the time?

I think he means a monopoly over the output of any given artist, under the traditional system where artists sign restrictive multi-album contracts.

It's interesting how reminiscent that design is of Google Wave's much-criticized scrollbars: the position indicator following the thumb, the page-up/page-down buttons, and the minimalist appearance when not in use. I wonder if Wave's design
