Adobe Indesign would be one answer. Or Emacs Org-Mode. Affinity Publisher. Apple Pages.

Yes, this or the site seems to be obscure and the URL is dated and who knoews wether they have changed the scheme without implementing redirects or something like that.

Keep an eye on what AIGA features, beware of, mhm, "opinions", but it's a good source, if it's not your only source.

And a good website for jumping in is Design Observer.

And lockdowns. First lockdowns in my life. We weren't even allowed to play in the garden.

Exactly. And when you are truly "beyond POC level and beyond heroku (for whatever reason)" then of course it is time to hire people.

I see this all the time. Entrepreneurs trying to solve the people problem by avoidance. The problem with the super efficient player is twofold. First, it's not really scaleable. Second, what if the person gets sick or is in vacation?

In the "Default scikit Iris visualization" example you could colorize the arrows for true|false since colors are available.

Alternatively you could use two distinct types of arrowheads.

Grouping tabs is already possible in Vivaldi. There are also FF extensions, who offer alternative concepts. I think TabTree or something like that it is called.

This could also be a function of your watch list. Twenty years ago ads during NFL were much

I went to vim.org, I was never there, because I go to church.

I find Leo's website worse than vim's. The vim site has a clear green download button. This is a straightforward design feature I like.

The picture with the kid and the power tool is funny. I liked that too.

Then, a advertising banner on the right colum. Seriously? On the homepage of one of the most [will not bring myself to say a deserved positive adjective here, because I go to church] open source projects.

Edit: Church references church of Emacs of course.

Org mode has the ID property, you can implement soft linking with them.

He just wanted to be nice.

My question is whether the GGP had something specific in mind.

> As such, it is at the root of all other sciences, all of which are sciences of the actual, i.e. that which really exists.

I once read somewhere that theology is the science of the unknowable. So for how much theology is a science then is discussed within theology itself ie one cannot know how much of the unknowable is existing in an ontological sense.

I bought a lot such files on various web pages. I am not sure what your question is. Good point re Kindle/Spotify.

Wasn't that what Google meant to do when they carried the slogan "don't be evil"?

> as Apple (due to Steve Jobs: there is some interesting stuff you can find on this) is so puritan.

As this "puritanism" is an interest of mine, can you point me to some of that interesting stuff you had in mind, please?

The "CLS" in line one was duty in those days. "F#* all your crap, here comes my program! Tadaa!"

What you describe is a person I wouldn't call an adult.

The works you cite are all comparatively late. Even the theosophists came earlier. If the title is "granfather of modern self-help" we cannot be later than 1920s.

I got your point, it's valid, specially membership sites. But some stuff is different. Ebooks, audio files.

What about digital products? I guess you left that out for a reason, what would that be?

Yes, the founder of Lotus, Colin Chapmann, had this egineering philosophy regarding racing cars: "Every part's weight is something I have to carry. If a part doesn't even exist, it doesn't have any weight." (Paraphrased by me.)

The biography "Colin Chapman The man and his cars" by Jerry Crombac is the got to read for this topic. BTW., Crombac is a legend in sports journalism in his own right.

The idea that crypto mining is bad for the climate is short-sighted. It is based on the wrong assumption of a static universe.

But this world is not static. Let's say for example, all goverments would become more strict in taxing energy consumption. (Presumably to help save the climate.)

Now at some point there is a market incentive to develop mining techniques that optimize for less energy consumption above all else. This would lead to better technologies and thus environment friendly mining techniques.

So this would mean that two factors in this world have changed. Namely taxation on energy and energy consumption while mining crypto.

But this goes further. What if the usage of crypto enables reduction in carbon imprint in other sectors? This could be a possible development.

And so on. The world is always changing.

Yes, Reynolds for SMAC and Sören Johnsen for Civ4, after Civ3 was his learning step.

By your own words Civ does not fit that pattern, because you said Civ II was the best instance. Now I am unsure what your point is.

> It does seem like games, of all things, would have the potential to be at their greatest under the vision of a single author, but history has shown the opposite

I have to disagree with you here.

Both Civ II and Alpha Centauri were headed by a strong single author. As were both the original Civ and Civ IV which I and many others would see as the best manifestation of the game.

We can also see this outside of the Civ franchise. Think of Super Mario, Popoulous, Doom/Quacke, Sim City, Elite – just to name a few.

Great games were made by great Designers, yes, single authors. Very much akin to big movies or fantasy novels.

It doesn't indicate how high the marketing costs were. Probably too high to sustain a business.

Depends on how you define the term.

Historically, the term came up in the verge of Web 2.0 and was distinct from other social online media in that a specific software was the basis for each respective SN.

So for example Twitter is SN because you had the app on the phone that was only Twitter so that was SN. But an online forum was not, because everybody could obtain the same software and run a forum.

So by that defition HN is social media.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think saving energy is the wrong overall way to go. Better is to be 100% renewable (or otherwise "green") when generating energy, so that consumption ceases to be an issue.

Breathing techniques, meditation, that sort of thing. Try autogenic training for starters.
