in Hungary: YouTube is down, other Google services (search, workspace) seem OK as of now.

What's with defense and militech companies using Tolkien nomenclature as branding?

(enterprise and organization plans only)

the typography variable update was much needed but the 'professional' plan still only has support for 4 variable modes. perhaps adobe didn't ultimately acquire figma because this level of business practice was deemed distasteful even for them.

This is why we design animations in immediate actions to be below 100ms, any more than that and we start to feel "computer's reaction is slow maybe it's doing some calculations in the background?"

this is correct. checkbox and radio buttons are form elements and it's helping the user to select choices before sending a form / finalizing. A switch is turning something on or off.

a crude example: when you are ordering your porsche taycan you are using checkboxes to select additional features and radios to set the color of the car. this form will be finalized into an order, your selections cannot (or will not often) be changed later, a final choice has been made.

your new porsche arrives and you start to set it up to your liking, you might switch on/off features the way you like and switch them back later in a different context. (you won't be able to remove features from your car, or add new one.)

if changing a car's color is not a radio button anymore on an order sheet, then it might be just a switch or a more complex selector of different colors. look at the BMW i Vision Dee, its led panels all around, you won't have to choose a color before, they successfuly eliminated the need for a color selection before owning the car.

In the video the prompt asks the Copilot to "generate a logo for my fantasy football team" then it goes and generates a typical "cute cat with football helmet" image, heh.

Really enjoyed it! 6:20 oo

I think because there is a sharp change in weather at the end of August and it might be just a simple separation between Summer and Fall.

I often think about how one can visualize these abstract things. I imagine a year going like this:

  JAN → FEB → MAR ↩ (new row)
  APR → MAY → JUN → JUL → AUG
                           ↓
                          SEPT
                           ↓
                          OCT
                           ↓
                          NOV → DEC ...

Also, not like we have these "color palette" thingies that we, UI designers, already use to establish branding without affecting usability. We have a lot of UI elements we can change their properties of without directly affecting usability like borders, elevations, distances (while maintaining good contrast and looking out for color blindness too). Design systems exist for a reason. Heck, every SaaS and product already has a sales page for marketing content that is entirely designed to drive sales, no need to introduce dark patterns (or invent new crazy patterns that solves an already solved problem) in the application. A lot of interaction has already been solved, I don't see why can't we automate the whole UI process with a given opinionated design system.

I had the opportunity to try it out but it doesn't offer any purpose other than "generate instagram post with some inaccurate image generation". It feels like nothing more than a limited Canva with a sub-par version of Dall-E 2. Every other design tool offers way faster workflows, even for non-designers. Currently Microsoft Designer is requiring too much intuition and pre-planning on the user's part for a meaningful and optimized workflow. Currently this solves nothing. The UI looks great though (don't know about UX, it's kinda like web3-we-dont-know-what-to-do-it-with-yet)
