In a corporate environment I'd expect crucial data to be on the network drive and snapshotted every few hours. We run ZFS on our network and all the secretaries have to do their doc/excel work on the drive. Nowadays that everybody

There is a HUGE controversy about Adblock plus. One blogger uncovered some of their business methods. They have Mafia like structures and extort businesses. Unfortunately it's only in German and I have yet to find an English site repor

I'd use an existing programming language (asymptote or scala) and build a framework to create a bunch of EPS/PNG/SVG icons. No new file format.... This is what I mean with DSL: http://asymptote.sourceforge.net&#x2F

by susi22 13y ago
I don't say that designers should program instead of using their tools. What I say is: Stop the craziness of 50 different projects which give you some set of icons. Each a little different but each repeating things over and over again.

Postscript is so unpopular to use as a programming language that github doesn't even have it in their languages. I'm not even sure if you're just trolling or serious?

You can do cool things with immediate updates: http://vimeo.com/36579366 The great thing about hosting on github is that people can send pull request and you have real collaboration. That's alsmost impossible with Illu

I meant a DSL (or at least a framework) to _create_ graphics. I don't propose a new file format. In my approach there is no such thing as a GUI tool since that usually means that you'll be editing a complex (non gittable) file for

by susi22 13y ago
Yes that's exactly what I meant. Though, I think I wasn't clear and many people misunderstood me. SVG is to describe graphics and not to create graphics. We need a DSL that has loops, objects, methods, overlaoding etc so we can ac

Yeah but it's more fun to click "edit" on a file in github. Propose the changes and click "submit pull request". Instead of: 1. Download current design file 2. Edit 3. Submit pull request 4. Repo owner downloads fil

I can already edit EPS pretty well in inkscape and scribus but many developer still won't do it. To collaborate in graphics isn't easy. No, even if Illustrator was open sources I would prefer to see real source code for icons. IMO
167.
by susi22 13y ago
You don't need a GUI or expensive programs to make very stunning and impressive graphics. I've coded SVG manually myself (using Jade templates) and I've written TikZ and asymptote and it works very very well. Remember, we are

I didn't mean to say Illustrator is bad b/c of the not openness but more because of the file format. Icons ---compared to other projects done with Illustrator--- are extremely simple and we could use simpler tools instead which me

by susi22 13y ago
We need to stop making "open source" icons which aren't actually open source. Illustrator files are not open enough so that many people can contribute or edit it to their liking. Look at the FontAwesome github issue page and

Github can definitely improve on this. For instance, if I want to edit a file like so: https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket/edit/master/README.md you will see a 404 if you're not logged in with no i

Thanks for the link and research. Some of the text is #acb2b6 which is really difficult for me to read. It's not like this website is particularly bad. I've hold back on commenting before but I guess I just felt like ranting today

Another gray font on gray background website. I think I'll just give up and order a new monitor. I can't read all these new fancy websites. I get it that developers have usually good monitors, but is it really necessary to use a l

I have to correct myself: Yes you're correct. I thought that the top left blinking arrow indicated that a car passed but that's very wrong. It's just displaying the road construction arrow and the rate or cars is indeed about

Cars per second are the same. Open the two gifs next to each other. Each has 8 frames and the top right lamp is on for 4 and off for 4.

I just read some of your older blog posts. They're close to my research and well written and very informative. Keep up the good work! Cheers

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lay out any "theory". I really just meant to criticize. I'd suggest to just stick with the theories that researchers have come up with and improve upon them.

by susi22 13y ago
I'm sorry for the harsh critique. I think new radical ideas are great and people should question everything that's out there. But this way was not thought out well enough IMO. I hope you keep it up and maybe have a follow up post

by susi22 13y ago
Agreed 100% I'm sorry if my post was confusing. I didn't really mean to go to infinity with my theory. I really only wanted to point out the flaws of the article. I didn't mean to say that traffic jams can be avoided. I simpl

by susi22 13y ago
Thank you for that comment. You're 100% correct. However, it again shows that it's important to distinguish between theory and practice: IF your model is correct, the traffic jam will clear since everybody will at some point rea

by susi22 13y ago
You're right. But in case of a traffic jam we operate at speeds that allow us to do this. Look, the Article's author actually mentions it too: Quote: "The difference between these is negligible at high speeds, but at a low en
