Gemini is just so bad.

I fucking hate HDR

@dhh Better if they provide an option to remove the windows key and the slop key

Dell is on a roll with the revived XPS lineup. The new XPS 13 weighs just 1 kg, costs from $699, and is built beautifully. The Wildcat CPU is not for heavy multi core workloads, but it's ideal as a browser + ssh terminal. Keyboard is also superb. Much nicer than a Neo imo.

built a custom e-reader firmware with Cursor, hardware hacking is fun! made for: – beautiful latin + CJK typography – vertical layout, line breaking, large character sets (縱書．禁則) – syncs books + progress with ryOS – speedy rendering + caching

I wonder what the world would look like if IBM won instead of UNIX. IBM’s i operating system is gorgeous (and still updated)! Everything is an object, no binaries are native (translated bytecode, almost JVM-y), and pointers all have an absurd amount of (useful) metadata. Technically it hides a lot of the underlying system…you don’t even get to choose if an object lives on RAM or disk! But, interesting to think how much safer software would be. Overengineered maybe, but beautiful. Kind of reminds me of Symbolics, like an alternate reality LISP machine where everything is an object.

Completely obsessed with the medieval concept of a Book of Hours.

you can make an OS of fully-functional, emacs sticky notes if you want!

About page, might have overdone it with the artworks; Will revisit later, getting the mood right first.

@usgraphics Bezels are beautiful, on non touch screen devices and especially touch screen devices

I think we should popularize bezels. They just happened to be a by-product of the tech limitations at the time. Bezels serve as constant depth reference for your eyes to wander beyond the edge of the screen without hunting for focus. They also provide an unchanging contrast against the foreground regardless of the activity and light conditions behind the monitor. Ideally, you want a light-hood like you see on reference quality displays. I think Bezel-free design is flawed except in a few cases like a handheld device or laptop that you see in the picture below where screen realestate is valuable. If you take a consumer survey, 100% will prefer thinner bezels as an aesthetic preference. I like to think it is some bezel-free cabal that's conspiring against us 😀 and it's a psyop. Or it is also possible I have psychosis and I like bezels. One of these is true.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 $1 trillion wiped out from the US stock market today.

When design and engineering coalesced to produce useful tools for man. Not a shred of top-down fashion bullshit, and yet it is quite fashionable and beautiful.

在AI时代，每个程序员都活成了自己最讨厌的那种 team leader： 1. 半年不写一行代码，编程能力严重退化，还自诩"我也是搞技术的“ 2. 开会的时候把一线开发干的活全说成是自己的功劳，连自己的汇报材料都是让别人总结的 3. 瞎JB指挥，出了问题就甩锅说是下面没执行好 4. 不了解项目具体情况，只会提”单测加了没“、“性能还要优化”、“文档要沉淀一下”这类空洞的要求 5. PR 基本上看不懂，只会让别人先review了自己跟着点赞 6. 遇到 bug 了只知道无脑转发让别人查一下，自己负责来来回回转发消息 7. 还经常吐槽“今年的应届生水平越来越不行了”

为什么在 touch bar、大金表、不能正常打字的键盘、在正面浮现诡异模糊人脸的 VR 头显、重新发明扣子然并卵的风衣、毫无任何法拉利特征的 10 万 RMB 山寨电动车风格法拉利…… 以后，还有人相信 Jony Ive 会设计出下一个成功的消费电子产品、而不是 just another 昂贵笑话，我也是不太理解。
