I'm wondering to what extent social working has to be within a company. A fitness club I was part of a decade ago had this amazing 'cafe' space that was often used by folks with la…

I don't disagree with your conclusions. But I think it is easy to oversimplify this. Until it is obviously just... obvious. I think reality is more interestingly complicated. > own…

Somehow I think I skim read and didn't retain that paragraph! Thanks. I'm sure that says something about me...

Yup. And DHTML over a Java applet before XMLHttpRequest. 1999 at least, iirc.

I think there are two slightly different approaches. Your point is completely correct. As is the other comment here at about night and day. The lists are frequent. And not unique t…

I'm disagreeing with this thread. So I guess prepping for the down votes. > it trivializes all this historic pain to some inane game of word association I think addressing one issu…

I agree, and definitely what I was hinting at. I can understand why he enjoyed building mathematical models. And why reviews of "Balance of the Planet" praised that. But assuming t…

Oh my! "Why have I failed? ... The simple answer is that ... I’m too far ahead of my time... I’m a misunderstood genius. ... the world doesn’t yet perceive a need for the ideas I p…

If "A Is almost certainly not a hoax, Therefore it is much more important than B." "Why is B a hoax?" doesn't seem to me an unreasonable response.

Text is important, but its datum is rarely independent. More undo is useful than the text in the current text control. Anything else requires (and rarely gets) more substantial com…

Is "editing things" (i.e. data) not central in the majority of apps?

I keep vainly hoping for undo/redo, configurable keyboard shortcuts, cross-app files, app help, you know... the wins of the Windows 3.x 90s. I'm honestly amazed some (especially un…

I don't understand your reference. It seems negative, but it's hard imho to go down on the success of Minecraft. Or am I misunderstanding you?

I miss lowsrc. It had a point.

I found this response surprising. Code that has worked for 30 years is more technical debt than the ability to support 'new languages' or 'pivot' the code? Maybe I am an old fart, …

A labour of love, I think, rather than extreme functionality (compared to the surely-hundreds of alternative Helveticas). Reminded me of an element of Helvetica that bugs me (that …
