Is an error a “computer error” simply because a computer was involved?

14% of a mouse life is several weeks.

I do too, and I’m in group #2. Are you saying you’re not?

I would expect two large groups of user behavior: 1. People who never adjust font size. 2. People who regularly adjust font size as needed. The first group is helped by a reasonable responsive font si…

> this is a Tauri wrapper around Tiptap that does filesystem management Isn't Tiptap a wrapper around ProseMirror that does SaaS pricing?

I think both could count as quines. A quine is some source code which when executed in an environment produces the same source code. It does not need to produce the entire environment. Depending on wh…

You can address this with explicit parameterization instead of global state. That way the missing data is an obvious type error rather than a surprise in the middle of a running function.

I read it as “switch from a proportional font to Chicago”, but I suppose it can also be read as “switch only the proportional font to Chicago, leaving the monospaced one alone”.

What happened to zinc selenide then? Was there some reason it didn’t work out as well?

Again, I love a good button, and I’m not arguing against them. But I also recognize that using a simple icon or word as a touch target has its benefits in many contexts. There are reasons beyond numb-…

I should preface this by saying that I am a fan of buttons in general. Mostly for aesthetic reasons. For most users and most cases, the usability impact is probably insignificant though. That said, th…

It is not pointless just because browsers ignore them. It’s there for humans reading the markup.

> Closed-sourced native UI is a fragile place compared to the predictable JavaScript runtime of the browser. Huh, that sounds contrary to what people usually tout as a benefit of native. You always…

This is more of a groovy 70’s design to my eyes. (And yeah, it also says “©1979 APPLE COMPUTER INC” in the corner)

Maggie Appleton shared some interesting ideas a few months ago[1]. I especially find the ”Branches” concept interesting, just the idea of exploring multiple paths from a starting point in parallel. 1:…
