This is not a game for me - I don’t enjoy scrambled letter games in the first place, and I don’t really respond to time pressure in games. That said, I don’t think you should change it. It’s conceptually clear as it is, and adding a forgiving mode would just make it wishy washy. The simplicity is appealing and it doesn’t have to be for everyone!
After writing the comment I thought about it some more, and realized when asking myself the question ”what letter comes after R?”, I didn’t immediately know the answer, but I heard ”MNOPQRS” in my head which gave me the answer. So I feel like I know it because I know the rhythm and sound of saying those letters in sequence.
Is the alphabet really the same though? I don't feel like I recall it one letter at a time, as individual facts linking A to B, then B to C, etc, but more as a sound or a phrase. Not unlike recalling a melody. It just seems very different from figuring out what band someone is describing.
I disagree. If the monitor is mostly black (as close as it can be reproduced), shades of near-black gray are easy to distinguish, while shades of near-white gray blend together.
Is CARI part of the ”art world”? Where have CARI said that Frutiger Aero was ”the defining” aesthetic of 2000s? They are working to identify many different aesthetic trends that existed in parallel, not one that defines each decade.
Their description of Frutiger Aero explicitly includes Aqua, both mentioned by name and included visually:
I’m not affiliated with the site in any way, but it does not strike me at all as vibe coded. If you dig even just a little you can see that it is credited to studios and individuals who have their own separate web presence. And in fact, their manifesto explicitly rejects using AI even for translation because of quality concerns.
So please offer the evidence that allows you to confidently dismiss it as vibe coded.
Yes, but it’s not the topic of the article though. The article is about relocation. It describes the general problem and why New Orleans is particularly vulnerable. It would be nice to mention sinking land explicitly, but the idea that there’s some ”agenda” behind why they aren’t mentioning it is ridiculous.
You can take your tinfoil hat off. In common parlance, ”rising seas” is about relative sea level (RSL), which is what actually matters regardless of the mix of underlying causes. This is how it’s used by e.g NOAA https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/faq.html#q1
I was just reading about Metafont the other day, so this was quite lovely to come across.
Fig 9 stood out to me as obviously wrong. The two glyphs on the left are pixel by pixel identical, as are the three middle ones, and the two on the right. Quite mysterious though considering this PDF appears to be a scan.
> This isn’t necessary fancy, just let me set some calendar events without knowing the magic words or tell it to open Overcast and play the new Gastropod episode. Better yet, for power users, let me set up reusable shortcuts using natural language.
Isn’t this the proverbial ”faster horse”? Ie let me do exactly what I can do now, in a very slightly different, possibly very slightly more convenient way?
Came to ask this. I suppose if the edge of the sun glows in a different color than the rest, it would tint the edge of the shadow too? So maybe appropriate for sunsets, where the sky near the sun is red but the sun itself still glows bright white. Honestly just guessing.
Kudos for engaging! It’s been a while since I used Photoshop on a daily basis, but my impression was always that the UI felt a bit stuck in time. Like no one had thought about how to make little things in the UI better in a way that improves daily work. You’d see new ideas crammed in on top, but very little refinement of what was already there. (Is the ”Wind” filter still only possible to apply left or right, not up or down?)
I think a nice outcome of this would be if Adobe recognized how much these things matter to power users, and that it’s possible to improve existing workflows without disrupting them, and without just adding something new that sits awkwardly side by side with the existing features. Maybe rather than fixing the issues that were introduced, you could aim for something that is thoroughly better, as you need to work through everything anyway.
