I feel as though I'm fighting an unwinnable battle by asking for more, not less intention in art. Most artists at least produce a statement to accompany their work, but I rarely find them substantive, despite their often turgid languag

Also a raw HTML writer, but I’ve been considering the SSG route to make site updates (global nav changes, redesigns, etc.) manageable. You seem to have some method of handling this on your site, given that I can view a page of posts from 10

I'm grateful to not have much of a problem with my smartphone usage, but I often find myself researching dumb phones in search of something somehow better because I quite dislike my phone (and all the others I've seen/heard o

Born in ‘88. Haven’t had Facebook since 2010; Instagram since 2012; Twitter since 2017. Not on Reddit, only use Discord for voice calls with a couple friends while gaming. My few friends are more or less the same way, but I’ve felt very iso

I'm inordinately irritated that this quiz is impossible to ace. I got every question right but for #6, which has an answer format that makes it impossible to answer correctly. "Sorry, trick question," it says when you put in

I have asked for feedback a few times—particularly on ones where I felt I got close to an offer. Unfortunately no one has even responded to these requests. The remote thing definitely limits my options, but I have tried to be realistic abou

This is the killer for me. I've never found tech work fulfilling, personally, and I never expected to. But what has burned me out is the sense of being perpetually behind because there's no finish line; infinitely marching onward

I came to suggest exactly this, though I'm not sure I've ever seen it in the wild. Set a flat minimum amount you need to collect for the software and allow your customer to either pay that out in subscription payments (and then co

I run my mom’s portfolio site through porkbun.com. $10/yr domain + $3/mo hosting = $46. I used to use nearlyfreespeech.net for my own site and it was even cheaper, but a little more complicated to get up and running.

Image maps unlocked expression on the web for me when I was a kid. I enjoyed coding websites, but felt creatively limited by what I knew to be possible with simple HTML and CSS. When I realized I could turn any graphics I made into live web

I love stave churches so much. I had the good fortune of visiting the Hopperstad stave church when it was getting a fresh coat of the traditional resinous mixture that preserves it and gives it its signature color. If I remember correctly (

Yeah, I hear you. A CC subscription is not cheap, but it's pretty incredible what you get for ~$600/yr, especially compared to what's offered by other subscriptions people pay for without blinking an eye. I'm as eager—if

Yeah, I hate the cloud saving too. Fortunately that's something you can customize: Preferences > File Handling > Default File Location. There are a lot of other useful settings in that panel for people (like me) who don't li

> The new save dialog is insane. No, I don't want to save a copy just because I want to save a jpeg. Why is this even a question? I don't like the new save/load stuff either, and much prefer the old versions you can toggle

I think you're misunderstanding. This isn't an issue with noise cancelling or transparency mode. The issue is with the way the AirPods Pro mic picks up the user's dialogue (and surrounding noises) and relays/amplifies th

A little off-topic, but … Does anyone else have problems with the current AirPods Pro dramatically prioritizing ambient noise (cars passing on the street, washing of dishes, etc.) over your own voice when on phone calls? This is a major pro

Whenever I need to explain to laypeople what I do as a software designer, I tell them that most of my job is figuring out new ways to visualize and connect outlines and spreadsheets.

Love it. I just wanna say if anyone is looking for a designer whose tastes diverge from the other in this thread and who is dying for a chance to design an attractive, effective, and dense app (Ableton Live, anyone?), please let me know.

This is the first qwerty mechanical keyboard I've seen with four keys to the left of the spacebar, properly mimicking a MacBook layout. I'm far from a connoisseur in the space, but I have done some serious looking. Thank you thank

I often find myself on the extreme end in favor of gatekeeping. I more or less quit playing D&D because of what I perceive as a significant shift in the culture around the game over the last decade. It's all well and good to say th
