I've used Notational Velocity for years, but couldn't get a working binary on latest MacOS/Chips and the newer variants I found seem to miss the mark on what made Notational Velocity great (imo). So I'm working on an ele

It still feels like these dialogues are really only something lawyers could think is a good solution to companies employing invasive/overbearing uses of customer data. My gut feel is that most users don't understand what "tra

It’s shocking Amazon aren’t doing anything about this instance when the issue is raised directly. How can a store be complicit in selling bootlegged items and when confronted with it do nothing? If it is indeed endemic in some categories at

As much as this may really damage the sector I work in, I’d cherish the clarity a stance like this could provide. There are many businesses trying to be compliant whilst maintaining access to metrics their business depends on. Compliance is

Just sharing my experience - you may be dealing with something slightly different. I burned out in a job, and went straight into a new one that was less demanding. I didn’t try to do much at all for a while. It was more than a 18 months lat

The difference really is that the Apple store is a monopoly. It’s like there’s only one supermarket where you can sell your products, but they can still compete with you as you described.

This mirrors my experience in the MENA region (where a lot of staff are from asian cultures). It's hard to encourage people to work independently when they're coming from a "do what you're told" culture.

What do people make of ICO's recommendation for production servers to have antivirus software installed? Is this a standard approach to Windows? Is it generally accepted? Please excuse my ignorance.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time Opera has been reborn in recent memory? I actually quite like where they're going with the user experience. But who owns Opera now?

It's a shame really. 2.5hrs a week isn't a huge commitment, especially if you're able to work it into your day, e.g. commuting to work.

Hey, you put CSS in my JavaScript! Surely this could be done in a smarter way, using one of the many CSS preprocessors to replace the variable mapping done by `classes()`? After all, the `render()` template just needs to reference variables

It is possible to do that without the variable assignment in JS... [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('div'), function(el) { el.classList.add('new'); }); But I don't disagree that the jQu

> Which is how we got the Ribbon. It was intended to place the most commonly used features front and centre. So how come we ended up with something that placed all the features front and centre?

To pay someone $500 and then not want to spend an hour with them making them understand your product/idea/whatever seems like a bit of a waste of money to me, likely making the results hit and miss. Or have I misunderstood and you

Typography is hard, if only because it's quite subtle until you really start paying attention to it (in everything). How good or bad a typeface may be is irrelevant beyond a minimum quality, e.g. it's kerned well, it has been pixel hinted.
