I still see bespoke websites as a service provided by creative agencies. Graphic and interaction designers making design statements for one-off seasonal fashion campaigns, events, boutique businesses. So my 2c is if you focus on the creative aspect it makes some sense, but still an uphill battle because high end creative work is all about namedropping and who you know, unfortunately
I find dates more readable as an ordered list of numbers. A thread can be quickly scrolled down through while seeing >2001 then eventually >2024 at the same x-position on the page. Same goes with the month then day.
Anyway, in the context of a comment/activity thread, how long ago from today that an entry was tends to be less important than the age of the comment relative to the other comments.
I've seen some pretty OK porn via the browser on the latest quest. Problem is there's not nearly enough of it, there are only specific studios that do half decent studio-grade first-person VR porn shoots. These actors have to wear camera rigs on their heads, which I'm sure makes the production process much more of a logistical challenge. And that's not many porn consumers' bag really-- if you want amateur, relatable feeling people and scenarios, the best you can do is maximize a normal video window. Onlyfans performers aren't strapping rigs to their faces during regular sex just yet.
That's funny because airlines are now also straight up asking customers during checkout for donations to go toward some mysterious emission reduction expenses meanwhile C-suites aren't taking pay cuts. Why is this the customer's responsibility? Privatize profits socialize losses etc
Right so what doordash did is a good thing. Now it's not weird to call it a tip. All jurisdictions should do what they need to do to ensure workers are compensated enough regardless of tipping
>The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has vigorously opposed the ban, saying that noncompetes can benefit ... employees, by giving employers greater incentive to invest in workforce training and development.
This reads like a boomer shitpost. Like something you see in the comments section of clickbait tabloid news sites like the guardian or dailymail, not necessarily here.
>Not only should they not have brought their political opinions up at work
Hard disagree. Not saying for a fact that I personally would have the balls to defacto give up my high paying job over it, but I won't pretend that that isn't a pathetic point of view when it is a genocide in progress that is being fought over here. At least have the wherewithal to recognize their courage and value as human beings when remarking over it pseudoanonymously on the internet, no?
Above items seem to be neither, and it bothers me because it betrays the thesis by insinuating that a simple life can only be had after having a complicated one. True or not, one has to wonder if this too becomes another act of propaganda of erasure against the population among us who truly do live quietly-- in other words, loud people playing quiet people on tv.
Didn't this person's blog post make the front page of HN the other day? Why do they think it got "so little attention"? Said blog post and the resulting discussion is quite literally the only reason I know of Kagi's existence.
But it's interesting that there's no widely recognized fine art medium where physically feeling is the core communicated experience
Then again texture is half the experience of flavor in food
Touch response is pretty much entirely what sounds of pre-electronic musical instruments are, making electronic sound being simulations of touch response in a way
Fashion is also dominated by visual appeal, the uncomfortableness of women's heels for example
I do think creativity can be taught, and that it involves instilling values that enforce iterative making and experimentation to achieve results that are both novel (originality) and deliberately targeted (craftsmanship).
If you consider all the other software you use daily that should also get $10/mo from you, it adds up to the point where we'd all have to start touching grass for most of the day while general purpose computation becomes more exclusively for the affluent. I mean maybe that's a good thing but it feels pretty radical from status quo
1. Obviously Apple's market reach is wildly different-- they can still sell globally without requiring to scale indefinitely.
2. Hardware isn't their only product.
Anyway, infinite growth is impossible, so the comparison to a local business is moot. Also, it should be legally required for Apple to make products that last 10+ years from an environmental standpoint.
If apple didn't need constant growth it'd likely be totally fine selling devices with a 10+ year turnaround. I mean the shop on my corner has been the same for 15 years and it didn't die because of it.
This should come as a surprise to no one. Any platform returning a whole webpage with a prominent "download our app" button when you try loading a direct link to a .gif is clearly up to some major bs.
No offense, but you took amphetamine salts once or twice and are now suggesting someone take it as medication? I urge you and your partner to double check how worth-it the long term effects may be to you. In other words, make sure you really suffer an acute ADHD, and be weary of suggesting the drug to others so easily.
I want to chime in and say that you are probably doing the right thing. I was diagnosed with ADD in high school and did the whole adderall and vyvanse thing. Back in the '00s. Those meds are crack lite: they will help you get work done but will take your soul in return. I stopped the meds in college and suffered through my 20s learning how to survive without them. I'm now mid 30s and feel quite normal with the caveat that I require caffeine (I'm used to black tea for now) and an office (wfh is a nightmare) but at least I can live an otherwise normal life. ADHD meds cannot be a permanent solution, so I would stick to your current battles, I think you are most likely doing best for yourself.
I realize these are public spaces we're talking about but to what extent are we willing to have our bodies and behaviors amplified, stored, copied, and otherwise scrutinized before we're allowed to feel some inherent right to personal privacy has been violated
