> why are they so sharp?

they intentionally ship them sharp so you can file them down to your desired fillet

the design is very human


The past few generations I found I was not pleased with their performance, so now I take them weekly to the macbook sharpener at the saturday market.

It's great how apple makes everything so customizable

It's by design.

I think it’s different.

chase it with a shot of espresso for 1000x increase

a couple can have a really big wedding for a really decent price if they plan everything themselves / with family

if they go through a planner, the 'coordination' eats most of the budget, almost entirely so if 'their people' get involved with setup / teardown



there's a print shop nearby that does workshops, i took a short class there and i'll soon be back with some design files, hope to make a few copies of a zine about publishing a website on the internet

very well made :) for documentation and specific dashboards this has a lot of great uses

i played with a similar concept back when everyone was starting to 'drill down into big data' on their ipads, and i never came up with a clever way of drilling 'sideways', or allowing people to go between one 'insight' from one deep level and tie it into another without zooming all the way back out and then back in, contextual 'wormholes' (all handmade), or breadcrumbs (messy after enough layers)

one thing i'd add to the demo is detecting where i'm hovering over while scrolling to scroll into that part (on a mouse), scroll out works


i read it in Don Draper's voice

just make it say "Uh...", "umm...", or "hmmm..." once or twice halfway between processing and finish :D

> the website is completely broken or the devs force me to download the app by blocking features on the website

for me, this is signal that i wasn't supposed to be visiting that resource in the first place


Yep. If someone is trying to make you do something, or stop doing something, or buy something, your first question should always be "Why?".

Why would someone try to force me off of my browser (that has ad-blocking and tracker-blocking mitigations) and on to a locked-down app that may want permission to run in the background, display notifications, access my files or camera, etc?

Maybe it really is to "improve my experience"... yeah, right.


Yeah, crippling your website in order to force users to download an app that may be able to access for of a user's data, is a clear sign that there are people you don't want to do business with.

There are several sites I use regularly for which I refuse to install the app. There are a lot more sites that I visit only occasionally because someone links to it, and that site immediately wants me to download the app and refuses to show me the content that was linked to. Fuck off with that.


"The foreigners never came to the fields themselves - they would wait in town, in a guest house or a car, and we would bring the ants to them packed in small tubes or syringes they supplied us with."

i never got the appeal of having someone else do the only interesting part of anything for you


But I've saved so much time since I started using mturk to compose all my hn comments. I barely even need to read it anymore!

I mean, you're not going down there for one ant. You probably want to fill your carry on with them and digging up dozens of ant mounds on strangers land doesn't sound all that great

just thinking that, as a buyer of a rarity who is presumably showing it off to others eventually, i'd probably get more mileage out of a photo of me sticking a twig into a dune, and then a tale of 'smuggling a single ant', than 'i got this myself, from one whole trip to the store'
