I’ve found that left/right socks are more common for activities like running, where they’re knit to support specific parts of your feet.

Makes me think of the Star Trek episode “A Taste of Armageddon” where a computer simulates the outcome of a war and its causalities, and then those civilizations actually go to murder that number of people in real life.

As it’s been noted, these bots don’t comprehend what they’re saying. But I thought ChatGPT saying ”How can I assist you today?” and “I'd be happy to help with any questions or information you may need.” in the beginning of the conversa

I prefer to call it “optical” and “mechanical” alignment, rather than “mathematical.”

Left a bad taste in my mouth when I was required to create a user account to just browse the web. Didn’t go back to it much after that.

Completely agree. Content Designers should be part of the conversation just as early as Product Designers and Researchers.

I use GoodNotes for all of my note taking and non-artistic sketching. Syncs with my iPhone and Mac, so it’s easy to have them everywhere.

It’s not necessarily a feature comparison, but I’ve found it much easier to just “try” things in Rhino. Solidworks is best when you already have a clear idea of what you’re building. In that way, our industrial design team would use Rhino a

I think a good parallel of this is Webflow, which I find to be an incredibly powerful tool and gives design teams a lot of freedom to build and deploy their designs, however it’s incredibly cumbersome if you’re using it to mock up options a

Safari for all my personal and work usage. I do pop into Chrome and Firefox to perform browser QA, but Safari is my daily driver.

I'm right there with you. Our condo building is just over 100 years old and has 2 parking spots for 6 units (we're not one of the lucky ones). We'd love to own an EV, but it's just not practical. This gets to my big comp

It’s little things like this that keep me from using Firefox. Context menus, various micro-interactions, visual design decisions—they all feel so non-native.

NPCs in Half-Life 2 mentioned a number of times that Gordon doesn’t say much and is a “man of few words.” I’m sure this is a nod to his silence in the first game as much as it’s a storytelling device. I’ve always liked that his character ne

The other commenters here are right about the importance of text contrast, but there is a consensus in typography that pure white on pure black contributes to eye strain and decreased stamina when reading. This is especially true for people

I just bought from Newegg for the first time in probably a decade and was surprised to see third-party sellers. I went there specifically because I remembered them being reputable, but came away with a different feeling entirely.

I have an AeroPress and like it a lot, but I also love making a pour over every morning precisely for the process (and taste). Bringing the water to the right temperature, weighing and grinding the beans, blooming, managing the flow rate… t

Design version control has actually been a big win for our design team and the handoff to engineering. We use Sketch + Abstract to do this. WIP projects live in separate branches that we can share out to get feedback. Once the design is lo

When I was in high school I worked for our district’s IT department. There were a couple of Power Mac G5s that were shared, but the students working in that department were using eMacs. One year I bought the first generation Intel iMac (my

LEGO announced that by 2030 they want their bricks to be made sustainably and from recycled materials, so we’re getting there! https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/responsibility/sustainabi...

I’ve run into something similar when naming loadouts in Call of Duty. “Assault” is never accepted presumably because it has “ass” in it. It’s not even something other players can see, like a username.

I agree 100%. Thanks for putting that in a way my comment didn’t fully reach.

I reject that premise. Embracing cultural homogeny encourages isolation and resentment, not unity and community. A nation can’t operate at its best without embracing diverse cultures and language. To do otherwise would leave us with incestu

It would be interesting to see how different materials factor into these perceptions. They mention the straight lines and sharp edges of brutalist architecture, but if constructed out of wood instead of concrete, for example, I would expect

Studio is still being developed and is live, though it’s not reliable enough for mission critical work. Still very buggy and quirky. I wish apps like InVision Studio and Framer X would focus less on being a place to do all your designing an

What I find deeply frustrating and unhelpful on Stack Overflow are answers that don't offer a solution but instead give reasons why the OP shouldn't be doing what they're doing in the first place. Q: How can I do this in jQu

I did a screen recording of the app as it tracked a real flight and during the editing process I made sure to stay true to the times.
