I figured it was alluding to more conventional approaches to learning them. Reads like you’re making assumptions and defending instead of engaging with criticism in good faith.

Where does the commenter say it was only a glance? I share the feeling.

https://tenki.so is a tabular representation of the 7-day weather forecast across Japan, which I made for traveling opportunistically. After the JMA updated their 7-day forecast to be harder to read at a glance, I started pullin

Mega thanks for making and posting this. I've been searching for a tool to "destructure" exactly this way... not necessarily down to radicals, but to any part that has meaning by itself. Thank you for citing your sources too.

How is viewing Chernobyl from that angle useful in this context? The Houston Ship Channel has the potential to become an environmental disaster similar to Chernobyl, but affecting the fourth-largest population and economic center in the US.

Not minimalism. Information density. Visibility. Representing time with colored spaces decreases information density. Green & red blocks aren't enough -- the primary data, the numbers, are still required labels, and are made smalle

Graphically representing all times wastes space, making the rules easier to understand for those who can read them, but decreasing legibility. This is a tradeoff, not an all-around win.

Wcd's quality (most recordings are posted in multiple formats including FLAC and 320 & v0 mp3) is assured -- the community is serious and self-policing about encoding. Is the same true of Soulseek?

This has been done for a long time on many sites. The Firefox download is one that comes to mind. I see this as more of a no-brainer for a software download than a standout example of brilliant UX.

Tufte, who we all seem to worship, would praise separation of elements with whitespace instead of dividing lines. This article, like most things from uxmovement.com, would be a lot easier to stomach with data backing up the author's prefere

Not surprising at all. Conventional layout wisdom says give the eye a clear path in a direction it knows. A multi-dimensional grid takes you in a Z shape, whereas a vertical lineup's images and text are all aligned and easier to distinguish

That body text is borderline illegible, even rendered on a Mac. Horrible choice.

The 20-year-old office clerk at a Beijing cosmetics manufacturer knows it could set him back more than $1,000. He'll have to save for months. But he said it would be money well spent. "As a man, you must have one of those bags," he said. "

Wouldn't it be better to put this in load instead of ready so it won't slow down the loading of visible images or other resources? ( Ready = DOM is ready, load = page elements are loaded)

Another painfully obvious, no-data article from uxmovement.com. A minute of Googling gave me a more researched article with more comprehensive suggestions. See 3.5 on p. 390. http://core.ecu.edu/engl/tpc/MennoMenno/ftp/williams%202000....

I've been planning to give up my iPhone for a 4G VZW Android, but it's easy to take a direct update channel for granted. So, iOS 4 has 90 percent share amongst iOS device owners. What about Android 2.3? 0.4 percent, as of a couple weeks ag

How many type foundries do you think would be trumpeting their fonts' inclusion in the HTML5 logo? One of the many reasons I love Hoefler & Frere Jones. Gotham + Mercury + Knockout, all from @h_fj, make the HTML-5 logo. http://www.w3.

Because, according to him, >90% of what you'll do in the gym isn't necessary. So he offers training programs for a bunch of different goals (speed, strength, vertical, etc) while citing elite coaches that work with some of the most extr

4HB reads like a hacker's book, and that's why I loved it. Conventional wisdom says you kill yourself at the gym to bulk up. But a muscle isn't strengthened by fatigue -- it's strengthened by the body's response to that fatigue. So shouldn'

"In speaking with a few colleagues, it appears Twitter is using the 301 redirect on the short URL to provide the mouseover with the full URL." Is this just a non-technical person attempting to inject a little detail into the article? My f

Dude, need is a pretty strong word. Excellent caching plugins exist, and I'd venture that most WP blogs don't need them (or stand to gain much from Postgres). "Of course none of the old plugins would work. But is that really a problem?" W

Shadowcrew was an awesome place. You could get pretty much anything there. The marketplace was built on reputation -- you'd send a new offering to the senior members, who'd review you. The coolest guy there was MacGyver. He knew everything

Awesome! I'm heading to Japan over Thanksgiving. We talked about visiting Shikoku again, so if I'm in the area I'll drop you a line. Hope you meet lots of interesting people!

The price I'd be willing to pay for a powerful MacBook Air sickens me. And I hate to think what more they could include if they weren't so obsessed with the tapered edge. More than 4 GB of RAM? A real SSD? WWAN?

Sony crams an i7, a gorgeous 1920x1080 high-gamut display, quad RAIDed SSDs, and an optical drive into a 13.1" 3-lb. package with great battery life. That's impressive. http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Special/Computer/Vaio/Z/index.ht... (

I find the new pricing chart to be misleading. By listing the free account next to their customer-enabled plans, at first glance I expect it to allow me to serve customers. http://chargify.com/pricing-and-signup/ Took me a minute to reali
