#262Garmin's GI-275: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/719027
This one 3-1/8" inch instrument displays more than 15 pieces of information, is somehow perfectly legible even in turbulent flight, _and_ is more reliable and accurate than a whole 6-pack[1]. Synthetic vision unlock is only $500. This is all without switching different pages.
Get two of them, and the FAA considers the possiblities of both of them failing at the same time so low, that you can cover one of them to satisfy partial panel failures in a checkride - well, all you do is to switch the "working" one to the PFD page, and you haven't really lost any capabilities!

Yes, it’s great.
The densest UI is a direct democratic simulated multiverse: imagine a long exposure photo as a 3D scene, in which you can walk or fly.
“Point and scroll the mouse wheel” to focus on a particular moment of time, make it crisp, or “scroll back” to see billions of years of time as a hazy long exposure scene.
Example: 14 bln years of our planet look like a hazy ocean (our planet was a water-world most of the time), with the Sun arcs static in the bright sky.

#265I am developing this project, which replaces product lists with what I call "product charts": https://www.productchart.com The idea is to sort products not by one parameter (like price or release date) but by two - which creates an x/y chart. The product info is displayed dynamically - by default only the image is show. On hover, more info is displayed in a tooltip. And when you click "details", all data is shown. Th…
You made some other projects too to search movies for example right? I can't remember the name at the moment. edit: found them. https://www.gnovies.com/ and https://www.movie-map.com/ There are other projects to find music and art too. I have only used movies one a number of times.
Yes, these are also projects of mine.

#266I call it Trader UI vs VC UI. Traders want as much info jammed onto the screen as possible. VC backed companies use bootstrap, and want rounded corners on a pricing page with little actual information. I have been working on Buckaroo, a table UI for dataframes that runs in jupyter notebooks. It's much more TraderUI, with sparkline size histograms, and decent baked in formatting for numeric columns. https://github.com…
This is such a nice package, I've been wanting something like this forever. I can't believe how clunky it is to just browse data in a jupyter notebook, given that its entire purpose is for data exploration.

You gave me some more ideas.

#268Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hmm... the way I use it is that when I put the mouse on an item, that is the one I am looking at. So it is fine that some others are hidden. And when I want to see all items again, I move the mouse into an empty area (usually right next to the item I just looked at) so the popup goes away. Also, I usually use the filters first. Say for laptops, I set the screen size to >=12inch and the weight to Do you use it differe…
This makes sense. One suggestion would be to add a "Click to hold" button, which will push the dialog pop-up into a corner, maybe in a condensed view, and allow you to select more items. Then you can do a selective comparison of multiple items at once. "Click to hold" isn't a good name for the feature, but hopefully the idea makes sense.
Have you seen the "compare" button in the popup when you hover an item? It lets you highlight multiple items and compare them later.

#269I think the home buying sites do a decent job here for both search and drill down.

#270An observation from the article: I hate the Bloomberg terminal design so much. It's impossible to read if you haven't spent 10+ hours a day looking at it for the past decade
