    I figured it was alluding to more conventional approaches to learning them. Reads like you’re making assumptions and defending instead of engaging with criticism in good faith.

    Where does the commenter say it was only a glance? I share the feeling.

    https://tenki.so is a tabular representation of the 7-day weather forecast across Japan, which I made for traveling opportunistically. After the JMA updated their 7-day forecast to…

    Mega thanks for making and posting this. I've been searching for a tool to "destructure" exactly this way... not necessarily down to radicals, but to any part that has meaning by i…

    How is viewing Chernobyl from that angle useful in this context? The Houston Ship Channel has the potential to become an environmental disaster similar to Chernobyl, but affecting …

    Not minimalism. Information density. Visibility. Representing time with colored spaces decreases information density. Green & red blocks aren't enough -- the primary data, the numb…

    Graphically representing all times wastes space, making the rules easier to understand for those who can read them, but decreasing legibility. This is a tradeoff, not an all-around…

    Wcd's quality (most recordings are posted in multiple formats including FLAC and 320 & v0 mp3) is assured -- the community is serious and self-policing about encoding. Is the same …

    This has been done for a long time on many sites. The Firefox download is one that comes to mind. I see this as more of a no-brainer for a software download than a standout example…

    Tufte, who we all seem to worship, would praise separation of elements with whitespace instead of dividing lines. This article, like most things from uxmovement.com, would be a lot…

    Not surprising at all. Conventional layout wisdom says give the eye a clear path in a direction it knows. A multi-dimensional grid takes you in a Z shape, whereas a vertical lineup…

    That body text is borderline illegible, even rendered on a Mac. Horrible choice.

    The 20-year-old office clerk at a Beijing cosmetics manufacturer knows it could set him back more than $1,000. He'll have to save for months. But he said it would be money well spe…

    Wouldn't it be better to put this in load instead of ready so it won't slow down the loading of visible images or other resources? ( Ready = DOM is ready, load = page elements are …

    Another painfully obvious, no-data article from uxmovement.com. A minute of Googling gave me a more researched article with more comprehensive suggestions. See 3.5 on p. 390. http:…

    I've been planning to give up my iPhone for a 4G VZW Android, but it's easy to take a direct update channel for granted. So, iOS 4 has 90 percent share amongst iOS device owners. W…

    How many type foundries do you think would be trumpeting their fonts' inclusion in the HTML5 logo? One of the many reasons I love Hoefler & Frere Jones. Gotham + Mercury + Knockout…

    Because, according to him, >90% of what you'll do in the gym isn't necessary. So he offers training programs for a bunch of different goals (speed, strength, vertical, etc) while c…

    4HB reads like a hacker's book, and that's why I loved it. Conventional wisdom says you kill yourself at the gym to bulk up. But a muscle isn't strengthened by fatigue -- it's stre…

    Dude, need is a pretty strong word. Excellent caching plugins exist, and I'd venture that most WP blogs don't need them (or stand to gain much from Postgres). "Of course none of th…
