I knew a bunch of folks from 18F and the USWDS team. You could not find a more capable team of designers, developers and true user experience professionals. They cared about the users and they cared about good design.

Same. It was a bit less literal in mine, more like “how do you handle situations where key stakeholders and one in particular have certain demands”

Not to dismiss the X-files team, but 16:9 was already around when they started. Just not in the states. Japan started getting 16:9 CRTs in the early 90s, Europe followed in the mid 90s. America lagged another half decade and effectively skipped 16:9 CRTs mostly going straight to plasma/lcd.

I don’t think that’s unintentional or undesired

What a reductive position.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this for years and not optimistic it’s “near”.

The polyfill is too heavy and the services we deal with seem to cover the whole range of dates and times. Julian, epoch, ISO-8601.

Exocet had to be the most popular font of the mid-90s for anything vaguely occult/religious/horror/sci-fi/fantasy

So the most like the disruptor of the mobile duopoly of Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS are Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari.

Got it.

Perhaps Yum Brands has the data to back this up, but it seems quite a silly response that feels more political/ideological than based on sound economics.

BIL was COO of a pizza chain. The cost for a large pizza was around $1.50 - even for pricey toppings and gluten free bread. Labor is cheap at ~60 seconds per pie. Biggest costs was rent. A $5 raise could be absorbed across and then some with a 10¢ increase in price or adding an extra $1 delivery fee.

Strategically this makes little sense. A key factor of chain pizza’s business model is convenience & cost rather than quality. When faced with the inconvenience of not having delivery available or the extra cost associated with third party delivery services I wonder how many people will just opt for Dominos, Papa Johns or something else?

Penpot is pretty great even in production environments. It hews much closer to web standards in for things like layout (flexbox and grid), supports working completely offline and doesn’t use a proprietary file format.

What they don’t have is the inertia of Figma and being as-good-as or maybe a little better isn’t enough to get the traction they need.

Dropbox was fine until they decided they wanted to be more than file syncing. Their app is a terrible resource hog that slows my computer to a crawl. I finally had enough and deleted their app and use Panic’s Transmit to interact Dropbox.

You can. The Vision Pro supports a primary user that retains settings/user account/AppleID and a secondary user with gets a “guest” account that resets.

This really seems like the opposite direction auto manufacturers should be taking. Lean in hard to a common API design for displays and negotiate with Apple/Google on theming (like Apple Watch where some companies get custom watch faces), but leave the UX to Google/Apple

I was uninterested in CarPlay until my last car had it. Now it’s a requirement for any car purchase. Similarly I was uninterested in wireless CarPlay (how hard is it to connect a Lightning cable) until my next car had it. I’d be a little more lenient on no wireless, but it is really convenient.

If I recall it being right on the creek that led to the ocean probably exacerbated the environmental issues
