If you time delay a video of my screen (vim) terminal splits fly open and closed, ranging from 1-2 under some work cycles to 4-5. I like to think of this as an analogy to how the brain processes (what we call "having a thought"), in that ou

You're being intellectually dishonest.

Like in Stoicism, nothing is inherently good or bad (non-descriptives) about things in and of themselves. Like, this point isn't new... Why it is rejected with different rates across scientific disciplines is entertaining. Humans are entert

Quote for poignancy and mention of authoritative diction as a pass of, well, authority. I bet this all fits well into NORM dialectics. We may need 911 to help these idiolects.

That is not ironic or relevant. Don't look at acid tests for aesthetic value. You gotta lighten up...

Please don't defend laziness. That's a subjective point anyway.

You also have to discuss the technological backdrops behind each discipline. Think of how different it is today from the original creation of movable type. Flat design is coming out of a new era in DIGITAL typography. We are limited by bits

Yeah, lots of data, no information, or rather, very little information. Agreed.

Flat Design is a great discipline which has history in older, more popular disciplines. I believe it's fair to say "flat" has much growing to do, but it comes close to breaking with the traditional metaphor of print design. Obviously newspa

Isn't that called "low-hanging fruit"?

While we claim people are addicted to FB etc because of their devices, it's somehow okay to let developers drive themselves mad so that we can ask 10 years later: So what IDE do you think axed your brain? Startups will categorically enfeebl

Seriously? That's utterly irresponsible. I hope you aren't a CEO.

Forget "give them cash." Let's understand the priority of severities here. These people are in physical pain. So much pain that the concept of money eludes them. Pain. Nourishment. Kind eyes. Belief. Shared experience. Magnets force you to

The hypercompetitive culture makes SV a series of silos. We may be working workstation-to-workstation, but just as you drive along the interstate, it's a series of anonymous silos of farmers loosely affiliated, if that. And any shoplifting

I'm not sure what to say to this, honestly, and I technically mean that, given my background in philosophy. I see the Sorite's Paradox pop up everywhere, and I'm frankly surprised to see it uniquely apply here. How Much do I give? I frequen

I've been argued that some parts of the design have been tested against users, and other parts of the design come from the authority of the designer, in the midst of "agile-based" decision making that drops huge, unspec'd components on yr l

I'm inclined to agree that most, if not all, binaries are false, and like so I thought I was saying that "Content is King" is another way of saying, but from a different general perspective, "Design is Visual Statistics"; or at least this i

Terminal. Vim. I doubt that we need to intellectualize this much. Otto Neurath and the Logical Positivists pretty much planned this. Design is now in the age of Visual Statistics: http://www.gerdarntz.org/content/gerd-arntz -- or from ano
