   I have spent 10000+ hours doing design and I've got to say that my leap into code (especially backend) has been incredibly eye-opening. I've realized how so much of design is ego-driven, how design studios design for design awards

   Do you think it's really worth it to have a menu that's so "beautiful" it's difficult to implement without more tooling? Does it enhance accessibility? Elucidate the IA? Or is it just more whiz-bang?

   I don't see why we should give up on breaking up monopolies/oligopolies just because they have a tendency to consolidate again. These solutions aren't meant to be permanent. They are meant to be regularly applied every couple

   I have an external 27" 4k monitor connected to my MBP and while I use multiple screens at times, it's only occasionally for productivity. Sometimes I'll have a chat window open on the laptop just because I'm waiting on a

   As someone who'd professionally identified as a UI Designer for over a decade, now turned developer, I have mixed thoughts. I think coding has made me a better designer. It's honed my priorities and made me realize a lot of my des

   Does anyone know of a website that teaches you data structures and algorithms, preferably in C, in an interactive way? I've always found that's the best way for me to learn.

    I can say with experience that access to pornography produced by consensual adults is largely unhindered here. If this is how you draw the line between free and not-free, I can only imagine that your definition of freedom is anarchy.

    Admittedly, I've only taken a cursory glance and so I may have missed something, but it seems to me that most of what's offered is either large corporations (Netflix, Xbox), or the Telecom network's own media arm. That's

    I agree that Philosophy is important, and probably more so as you say, but a love of Philosophy and an appreciation for Mathematics is hard to beat. Philosophy can invite discord due to the circular nature of using language to define langua

    Which is great for UBI as the social contract makes explicit that everyone is a beneficiary of it. The people who need it then will have both their dignity and the will to make more of themselves.

    As someone with a decade+ long background in digital/product design and a 1 year fresh stint in full stack development, the answer from me is a resounding yes. I can create apps that have perfect cohesion between design and logic witho

    Thanks for the suggestion. I actually started with Python and moved on to JavaScript for my work involving web development. Currently, I use both. I'm generally comfortable with making CRUD apps employing OOP, using both Python classes

    I for one am strongly in the smartphone-fatigue niche, and I think my camp will get bigger over time. I eagerly await an Apple Watch with cellular connectivity so I can be aware and undistracted.

    The appeal to vulgarity is a tired cliche of social critique. At this point, no one can make a fresh point about it. Now it's just exploitation of the weak.
