Video calls (with screen sharing) are the only reason I have the Mac client installed. Otherwise I'd just use the web app...

I highly recommend checking out this recent article from a list apart: https://alistapart.com/article/flexible-typesetting

As well as this continually-updated website: https://betterwebtype.com/web-typography-resources

Both give good high-level overviews of readability in digital typesetting and help with choosing the right fonts for the job

You're definitely onto something here. "Messy" makes money. An obsession with "correctness" can kill a business, especially in its early stages.

Fail early and fail often. Web dev has very low (technical) overhead and aligns with "startup" mentality. The good news is that the customer has different expectations every 6 months so it's not the worst thing in the world to have a slightly different set of technologies to meet those needs.

Styled-components has been a godsend, especially in apps that I'm working on with others.

You really don't need nested selectors in most cases, since you're rarely thinking about the page context when dealing with a single react component.

Styled components does namespacing for you and it's easy to share styles, colors, etc. across components for reusability (a la mix-ins) and portability via the props abstraction.

Apparently yes https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1iybjq/comment/...

the lack of availability of node.js on GAE standard was one of the main reasons I decided to deploy my next.js app on Heroku instead. I may have to try it again to compare head to head...

Is there anything in particular that you'd like to know? E.g. performance, ootb tooling, etc?

Looks like disclosure to me

As far as I can tell, today's MS is very aware of the brand problem they created for themselves and have been working hard to fix it.

A recent changelog episode addresses this exact issue:https://changelog.com/podcast/298#transcript-78

If you have an iPad, you can use duet to simulate the touchbar on the bottom of the display. This makes it all the more useful if you're using your iPad to see chat messages or monitor the status of a terminal since it also takes advantage of the touchscreen

Same.

I think the Russians already won ;)

To answer a sibling. Yes, this was at AIT. One of the moments I remember most vividly was the first project review we were doing. The task was to fold hard construction paper into an object. I was starting work on a human face and had completed just the eye.

After taking a few seconds to roll it over in his hands, he handed it back to me and said, "what is it?" I said, "It's a human eye." He responded, "It is not shaped like an eye, it is not colored like an eye, it does not look like an eye." I was very disappointed.

Looking back on it years later, that conversation taught me a valuable lesson. Metaphors are built up of tiny little pieces that all come together to form a complete picture. If one of those pieces is off or missing, it's like missing letters from a wrd (word). At a certain point the wd (word) just breaks down until it's not even recognizable as a w (word) anymore...

The same goes for design. The eye I had made definitely resembled an eye. It had an iris and it was as round as I could make it. But the illusion of the eye was lost on the viewer and at best it looked like eye-shaped paper. That was the point he was making and my future work suffered until I realized that it wasn't the outcome I should be focusing on. Instead, I should reflect on the individual pieces that make up an experience in order for it to match the user's expectations.

Ernö was a professor of mine in an international School in Hungary when I was there for study abroad. He was one of the most insightful people I have ever met and lessons learned from my conversations with him - about perspective, emotion and complexity - still reverberate in my head daily.

Clicked the article thinking maybe a Norwegian Google Streetview competitor had invented time travel... Was still worth the read! Was not disappointed.

+1 when designers are able to make contributions on their own terms, the OSS world is a better place. On most open source projects, different contributors have different skillsets. When a designer is part if the team, they can be looped in on issues and PRs to provide feedback and design solutions "in the open"

Please post a link here when you do! I just scrolled through the job board to look for any healthcare or government gigs and didn't find any.

Would love to get in touch directly, as well! I'm very interested in the OpenEMR project and its promise :)

Fremont is completely covered in them. They're parked all over the burke gilman trail, cutting away at the already limited space for walkers, bikers, and joggers.

As much as I love the idea of accessible bikes, the lack of helmets and sheer amount of space consumed feels overwhelmingly unsafe at times.

Depends on your opinion of this decision: https://adexchanger.com/data-exchanges/ghostery-sheds-ad-tra...

This. This is why I'm thankful to be a developer/designer at this time in the web's history. Browser support for features that I need to make a cohesive user experience has never been better!

I have a lot of gratitude to google, mozilla (and even Microsoft and Apple, as they come around to it) for making my job easier/possible.

If your internet browser were a hearing aid, the information coming in would be sound - whether that's your husband or wife asking you to do the dishes, a ring at your doorbell, or even an advertisement on the radio.

now imagine if that hearing aid wasn't neutral in how it handled sound. imagine if, when the advertisement played on the radio, it would be louder than all other sounds around. at that time, you might miss an important call, maybe your wife just said "I love you", or perhaps there's a fire in the other room that you are now not aware of, because clorox wipes demanded your full attention.

without net neutrality, we lose the ability to chose our own inputs. our provider, our hearing aid, gets to choose for us. this could mean slower video downloads for some, if they're using a competitor's streaming service for instance, but it could also mean the loss of vital information that the provider is not aware even exists.

By rejecting Title II recommendations, the FCC will introduce a whole new set of prioritization problems, where consumers no longer have the ability to decide which information is most important to them. and, if the provider goes so far as to block access to some information entirely, which it very well could without Title II protections, consumers would be at risk of missing vital information - like a fire in the house or their husband saying "I love you"

Came here to also suggest wallabag. Getting running on your own host is dead simple (just a few 'apt-get's and a 'make' script) and the community has made apps for just about every platform. Also, as a limited-vision reader, the accessibility options are really well done!

I was looking for a pocket replacement due to privacy concerns and an ever growing annoyance with ads. Wallabag has a Pocket importer and the rss feeds are a really nice touch! I even put up a parser on my website to show people my starred articles: http://desandoval.net/i-am

I'll try the ebook trick. That is a really good idea! I was looking for a reason to pull out my old B&N Nook again ;)

Definitely interested.

Hey! It's great to see NuScale on my hackernews homepage. After working there as an intern for my first two summers out of hs, I've gotta say that it was one of the most inspiring startups. Since I started, I was able to witness the company grow up from its roots at Oregon State University to develop it's prototypical state-of-the-art designs that I (and many others) think will blow current nuclear power plant projects out of the water. Looking forward to it's first deployments. Hopefully the SMRs will be near enough to where I live to actually get a chance to visit!
