The first Distill publication[0] made tasteful use of minimal interactivity through JavaScript/d3.js[1] on top of SVGs. Many of the illustrations were initially drawn in GUI editors. (Outstanding work by Shan Carter; it’s what I first

And what else did Apple do? Build two “Pro” phones with even bigger batteries for these folks. Come on, let a thousand flowers bloom! (Yeah that phrase has unfortunate Mao-era baggage, but personally I really just want the mini series back—

Hm, I’m not sure from your comment if you’ve seen this: if you scroll down on an app’s App Store page, there’s an “Information” section with an “In-App Purchases” subsection that you can expand to see all In-App purchase names and their ass

Are you also on a mini? ;-) Just because I really like bivector.net, despite its questionable web design choices: zooming out one level should make it so the animated “join our discord” no longer causes reflows. This should be fixed, but a

I used to be upset at such absurdities. Now I try to appreciate what a relatively universal interface images are instead! :D It doesn’t matter how text gets drawn if we OCR it. (Though I feel better when we do so on device.)

Yeah, in ballroom one takes a break between songs iirc. (It’s been a decade or two.) The harder styles of dance and deeper kinds of house music seem designed to put you into a mild trance, thus the need to keep the rhythm consistent. For D&

A large part of the “value” a DJ brings is track selection; for sure. Playlists can do part of that, say to create a certain mood. But DJs get to adjust these on the fly as they observe the crowd reaction. Additionally, DJs rarely play full
