Just wanted to say: what a gorgeous icon, and such a Mac-ass app design.

Feels like the heyday of OS X, which for me was undoubtedly between 2006-2012. Delicious Library, Toast, Transmit. I could go on.

Congrats to the creator :)

God I hope there's enough engagement on this tweet that they actually do it.

I don’t really understand why or how it’s happening, but my HP LaserJet printer connects to Wi-Fi less and less reliably every year. I want to upgrade to a color laser, but: (1) Wirecutter's current rec is for another HP, and (2) it's $750.

The HP inkjet I got in 1997 was far more reliable, even before we switched from parallel to USB. And it could print banners!

Until today, my only awareness of the term “gutta percha” was as a type of golf ball, as noted in the article. I’ve always assumed it was someone’s name, or else a nickname for a design. What a cool material!

When I first built my current site, it was fully unstyled like Chris', but as I started making little tweaks, they snowballed into a proper design. I couldn't help but add more of my personality to it.

Part of the joy of having a personal website that nobody reads is that it can act as a playground, and the design is part of that.

This is inspiring.

Over a decade of commitment to the task itself, diligent blogging of the whole experience, and a website design that brings me back to my favorite time on the web. Beautiful.

8pt Tahoma is the GOAT and I miss it desperately.

I remember vividly when Windows (XP I think?) introduced a new kind of font smoothing that messed with the look of those fonts. In hindsight, I feel like that moment was part of the catalyst toward Web 2.0-style designs. Screens started to get bigger, sites became higher resolution as bandwidth increased, and the tiny pixel font started to be both less relevant (you could fit more, larger text onscreen) and less beautiful (it rendered differently with font smoothing).

IIRC this shift also coincided with the shift toward Wordpress, including a more homogeneous set of pre-packaged "themes", and away from custom CMSes (or no CMS at all), the OG blogging "scripts" like Greymatter and b2.

What an incredible achievement. Huge congratulations to the team at SpaceX! Still have chills.

Anyone know whether the fire toward the bottom of the booster during/after the catch is normal?

Other than continuously copying files to new media every so often, are there reliable digital mechanisms for long-term storage (say, 50 years)?

That hasn’t always been true!

I remember with great displeasure the bad old days of creating a 3x3 table for every container and jamming a rounded corner gif into each of the four corners to create this effect.

Cool YouTube video, but: my kingdom for a screenshot!

Product looks amazing. I use Divvy but will definitely try out AeroSpace. Great name too.

Christian isn’t charging enough! This could easily be $10 or more.

I still grumble every time I use the Reddit app. RIP Apollo.
