The web of the late 90s immediately followed Windows 95 and the gaudy design of interactive CDs trend. The aesthetic of the time lent towards the skeumorphic and into the vividness and richness of colourful graphics, animations and non-grid

For me it’s soft sci-fi because the show was about the people. Space was just the backdrop. Whereas something like Foundation is about the exploring the concept of psycho-history and galactic civilisations and the people are there to move t

Another consideration is that employees are much less conscious of the real value of their stock than founders, and you don’t want to make the (lack of) value of their shares too obvious in the early stages. If you tell them the value of th

I find it worrying when news outlets publish articles that simply repeat politicians talking points. We all know of laws that say one thing on the tin but are much more draconian in practice. This article fails to analyse the wording of the

But it’s clearly not what people want. Ask any person if a search for a hex encoded ID should be a fuzzy match for a different ID and the answer will be no. As technical people, it’s easy to infer what’s happening under the hood and make ex

Facebook used something called Primer that very similar to HTMX. It was widely used until about 2010 or 2011. It slowly replaced by JS doing ad hoc DOM manipulation as engineers strove to build more sophisticated interactions, and the React

Beautiful, colourful, creative objects gathered together in a the middle of a grey room and destroyed to be replaced by a generic rectangle. This is like the 1984 ad with Apple as the bad guys.

You misunderstand. I was specifically addressing the post which was encouraging bad landlords think in business terms to stop their emotional antisocial behaviour. But in reality the ideal is that landlords are considerate and decent toward

It’s good, but the best possible outcome is still only moving bad landlords from being sociopathic, petty business people* to being people who impassionately make logical business decisions. Personally, I think that obtaining a secure and

I took my kids to Paris Disneyland recently. I could have paid for a fast pass, but the entry fee was already twice what every other theme park costs. I figured I'd get value for the huge amount of money I paid them for a standard tick

Different apps have different technical problems that can be an enabler or a source of never-ending technical debt. Being able to add new features easily, rather than being stuck scaling, could make or break this product.

Interesting to compare the commentary about paying taxes vs app store fees. The effective tax rate for income and healthcare for "corrupt politicians to line up their greasy pockets" is very close to the 15% that Apple charges as

Indicating when exiting a roundabout isn't a law everywhere, but it is where I live. This makes the new Model 3 and other Tesla's a non-starter for me. I'm not hunting for an indicator button when turning.
