I’ve found that left/right socks are more common for activities like running, where they’re knit to support specific parts of your feet.

Makes me think of the Star Trek episode “A Taste of Armageddon” where a computer simulates the outcome of a war and its causalities, and then those civilizations actually go to mur…

As it’s been noted, these bots don’t comprehend what they’re saying. But I thought ChatGPT saying ”How can I assist you today?” and “I'd be happy to help with any questions or info…

I prefer to call it “optical” and “mechanical” alignment, rather than “mathematical.”

Left a bad taste in my mouth when I was required to create a user account to just browse the web. Didn’t go back to it much after that.

Completely agree. Content Designers should be part of the conversation just as early as Product Designers and Researchers.

I use GoodNotes for all of my note taking and non-artistic sketching. Syncs with my iPhone and Mac, so it’s easy to have them everywhere.

It’s not necessarily a feature comparison, but I’ve found it much easier to just “try” things in Rhino. Solidworks is best when you already have a clear idea of what you’re buildin…

I think a good parallel of this is Webflow, which I find to be an incredibly powerful tool and gives design teams a lot of freedom to build and deploy their designs, however it’s i…

Safari for all my personal and work usage. I do pop into Chrome and Firefox to perform browser QA, but Safari is my daily driver.

I'm right there with you. Our condo building is just over 100 years old and has 2 parking spots for 6 units (we're not one of the lucky ones). We'd love to own an EV, but it's just…

It’s little things like this that keep me from using Firefox. Context menus, various micro-interactions, visual design decisions—they all feel so non-native.

NPCs in Half-Life 2 mentioned a number of times that Gordon doesn’t say much and is a “man of few words.” I’m sure this is a nod to his silence in the first game as much as it’s a …

The other commenters here are right about the importance of text contrast, but there is a consensus in typography that pure white on pure black contributes to eye strain and decrea…

I have an AeroPress and like it a lot, but I also love making a pour over every morning precisely for the process (and taste). Bringing the water to the right temperature, weighing…

Design version control has actually been a big win for our design team and the handoff to engineering. We use Sketch + Abstract to do this. WIP projects live in separate branches t…

LEGO announced that by 2030 they want their bricks to be made sustainably and from recycled materials, so we’re getting there! https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/responsibility/sus…

I’ve run into something similar when naming loadouts in Call of Duty. “Assault” is never accepted presumably because it has “ass” in it. It’s not even something other players can s…
