Not an expert, but I believe humanist would be somewhat antithetical to brutalist. Where brutalism has hard edges/corners and are "cold" humanist designs have fewer right angles and are more warm/inviting.

Yep. That's a good starting point for sure. I need to then find a way to make the navigation work better. I made those drop downs with mice in mind...

Unironically, the Apple TV is my favorite Apple device. It does exactly what it says it does, is inexpensive, and has a good interface. It just works.

While true, my prized possession as a kid was my GameBoy Light that was imported from Japan. Other people had regular GameBoy pockets or even colors, but I'd rather have that awesome backlight. My kids still use it to this day to play

He is my favorite of the restoration channels. I don't believe anyone comes close to his attention to detail. I wish he put content out more frequently!

Interesting. I had the opposite outcome. I didn't like how Pixelmator reinvented the wheel as far as interface goes. I felt like Affinity Photo was a much better lateral transition from Photoshop for my needs. I bought both though most

Funny. I thought the shorter focal length made his face look more interesting and features look nicer whereas the 200mm lens made his face look like a big block with no definition and large neck. Crazy how subjective something like that can

I live in So California, and people around here always talk about black widows, and are always surprised to learn of the existence of brown widows. I find this odd because I never see black widows around my house, but there are easily a doz

Oh, I'm sure. I've used the migration tool when going from one mac to another (Specifically from G4 to Intel iMac in 2006) which might clean some things out. Looking at the plists in my ~/Libray, I have some dated as far back

My current OS actually stems back from the Public Beta that I ran on my G3. I've cloned the data from HDD to HDD/Computer to Computer and upgraded the OS every time, and it's currently on El Capitan (because my Mac Pro is no

At one point I forked Chromium over the click-selects-all in the URL bar. In OS X, this was the only application that behaved that way (until Apple recently followed suit with Safari...). Now I just use FireFox because they give me the opti

I found your post much more informative and interesting. The animations I think are detrimental since you can't do a side-by-side comparison.

I haven't found a free, native Mac CAD software that I like as much as Autodesk Inventor for Windows yet, but there are a number of free one available for the Mac. 123Design comes to mind [1] You can also peruse the comparison of CAD s

I wouldn't know :) It must be a weird task to try to translate something as bizarre as names from one language to another. Harry isn't exactly a distinctive name. It's rather common, like the name John. I wonder, why not pick

From the article: "And Harry Potter is Ἅρειος Ποτήρ [Hareios Poter]- ἄρειος [areios] means "belonging to Ares", the war god - appropriate for the young warrior, and ποτήρ [poter] is a Greek word for "cup" or "g

This is amazing! Thank you! I always get so frustrated when I go to use Google Maps ever since the UI update. The floating drop-down search box infuriates me to no end.

How is it a great convention? I'm not trying to be contentious, however I am not sure how that is superior to underlining a link, which is a fairly ubiquitous convention. It seems overly cumbersome. It made me think though that perhaps

This reminds me of an old Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin discusses verbing words. http://assets.amuniversal.com/6f34d860df950131725e005056a954... That's kind of an amazing aspect of English as a language; you can

3 years ago is the last time I remember. It was on a 2.5 day camping trip. At the site we went to, there was no cell coverage without going down the mountain, so the cell phone was turned off, and I didn't bother bringing any other dev

I think the fact that cars don't use bipedal locomotion to achieve fast velocities is the point.

10.9.3 has been pretty rock solid for me on my Mac Pro, as has every OS I've had on it since Leopard (10.5), although I skipped right past 10.7 to 10.8.2. My Air has had some weird won't-wake-up issues from time to time since 10.9

I'd love to see this map projected onto a current map (or even satellite imagery) to see what sort of accuracy they were able to achieve back then. It is quite a feat to gather all that information and compile it into a single (large)
