Very nice post, I think it captures and expresses things that many people in the software and design worlds have thought about a lot in the last couple of years. I don't fully agre…

Relatedly, Marcin Wichary wrote a nice post about using FFT to remove moiré and halftone effects when scanning images that were printed with halftones. It's from 2021: Moiré no Mor…

Hilary Hahn did the same thing a few years ago. In one case, played a movement from a sonata that wasn't in the program, and in another replayed a movement from earlier. Both very …

I don't know if they were the first but I think of 37signals and Basecamp as the ones that first nailed the multi-column/highlighted plan form of design that has become so dominant…

I played around with some similar ideas, it's a really interesting corner of generative art, with lots of prior work. For mine, I make fields by superimposing a bunch of harmonic f…

> Super Resolution is used in many fields like surveillance, medical industry, forensic and satellite imaging applications. Computer, generate a list of applications where technolo…

OK nice. A symlink will go a long way for the average user. The way I read the article it seemed like they would rely solely on the Locations list in finder sidebars.

IMO the other really big deal here is that ~/Library is a hidden folder by default. For most users Dropbox will only be exposed under the "Locations" section in finder sidebars. Th…

I'm not trying to talk you out of any criticisms of the OS, but just FYI: you can drag files onto app icons in cmd-tab, too. Start dragging, hit cmd-tab, and then hold cmd. The app…

I agree, it feels like a missed opportunity to not explore this. I'd love to see an analysis of the swirl design (or other commonly used manufacturer patterns), with the edges roun…

Engadget did a story around this a while back, apparently. It has less from Okuda, but some different details and other links and examples: https://www.engadget.com/2015-12-04-casi…

It will be around for a while, as noted in the comments on the article: IEEE 1394B was used in the F-22 and F-35, so unless those are retrofitted the standard will be propped up in…

I don't understand the suggestion that cooperation and complex social systems are the province of primates. Haven't they heard of dogs, cats, pigs, deer, or the countless other ani…

Yeah that's how I'm reading it but then I guess the question then becomes whether the projections were made specifically with a hedge fund strategy in mind or if they would have be…

Can someone clarify this? Because the article explains: > "Over the last 10 years, the return on those “public asset classes” has surpassed expectations by more than $2 billion, ac…

This is nice, a more attractive alternative to http://www.canistream.it It would be great to be able to set buy/rent/stream filters alongside selecting providers. If you know you d…

I love it. Ever since I saw a recreation of Fallingwater in the Half Life engine (1), I thought this would be the future of architectural design (or at least delivering design to c…

So two very different thoughts here, and I basically agree with both: yes, there is still a place for simple, mostly analog, NA powered sports cars, and yes, it is a distortion of …

Yeah, exactly — once you have an electric motor/generator and an energy store, the whole game changes because you can approach the power sync problem of lag in new ways. Also, the …

The main thing that helps me is being interested in the technology itself. The actual sport as it plays out is highly optimized/refined, as you say, but if you’re interested in wha…

Most startups fail; most apps don't succeed to the hopes or expectations of their creators. Just because industry has started taking design seriously doesn't mean we should suddenl…

Very interesting, thanks! I've seen some apparently decorative ink traps before but hadn't really seen fonts really built around them. And good find on Register -- I think part of …

NBC used a face with insanely big ink traps in their titles for Sochi coverage. It looked like a modified version of Stratum. They looked really strange to me on screen. I'll see i…

The problem with race-level fuel restriction is you get drivers managing their pace over the course of the race, which can lead to strategies that people find boring. Or worse, the…

Looks nice. Also out there, if you didn't know, is Preceden, which I have enjoyed using. http://www.preceden.com
