When you’re down, you’re not supposed to hit other people who are down. That’s not how you get up.
Really bright yellow which actually looks better in person. The contents are as satisfying as the packaging.
What the hell did you just watch? A teaser for a film that’s currently raising money for the pre-production stage.
This was the look of the creative and commercial interwebs in the late 90s/early 00s. There were good bits and really shitty ones, just like the Metalheart book.
Understanding how a glue works will help you choose the right glue for the job. The manufacturer knows their glue better than the cashier at the hardware store. Reading the label thoroughly will help you know if a glue is appropriate for your needs. Also, many glues have a help line or a website.
I am worried that algorithms are getting too prominent in the world. It started out that computer scientists were worried nobody was listening to us. Now I’m worried that too many people are listening.
A clever(!) cross-browser proof-of-concept to bring down modern browsers that relies on nested CSS var() and calc() handling.
The White Album was the first major release to deploy incoherence as a deliberate artistic strategy. It contains space-fillers even though there’s no space that needs filling, and is sequenced in such a way as to accentuate its jumbling together of the archaic and the avant-garde, the meaningless and the profound, the generous and the toxic, the ragged and the luminous, the spiritual and the profane, the desperately moving and the too silly for words.
Facebook still has over 2.27 billion monthly active users who collectively spend more than 100,000 years—yes, years—of time on the site each and every day. They upload 300 million photos per day, leave 750 million comments a day, and share billions upon billions of pieces of content each day. It doesn’t matter to most of them that Facebook is a haven for fake news, or that their personal information is being sold to advertisers, or that their C.E.O. and C.O.O. have done things that should get them both fired, without even the blink of an eye. For most people, they’re just happy that someone “liked” the photo they took of that sunset on the beach last weekend.
[…] I began to see the insidious ways that the software changed how people work together. They’d become more disconnected; less likely to see and help one another, and often less able to.
(Aside: The Mythical Man-Month by Frederick Brooks is a must-read for anyone involved in digital products.)
