I was an early adopter of Figma. Unlike many designers, I chose not to use a Mac since I'm more attuned to Linux. So, when I discovered Figma as an alternative to Sketch, it felt like a breath of fresh air.

Over the years, I've been a fan of most of Figma's updates, but the recent ones have been somewhat disappointing to me. The notable exception is the flex mode, which seems to draw inspiration from Penpot.

As for the developer mode, I find it lackluster. Its primary value seems to be in its read-only mode. In the past, I addressed this by copying deliverables to a separate file to prevent accidental edits.

Lately, I've observed more and more designers with coding skills or coders with design skills. When I work with people that they understand both worlds, I prefer workflows that incorporate Figma and Storybook, emphasizing code as the ultimate source of truth. I'd like to see more in this direction where there is no artificial barriers between coders and designers...

The other thing I like to show kids is how to count to a thousand (1023 to be precise) on their hands. Algorithm is simple, you just start from the outside of your hand (I use thumb as first position) and then to get a new inner most finger you must collapse all outward fingers. This is of course binary (00000, 00001, 00010, 00011, 00100, ...). Kinds love this and it feels like a super-power to them. Just be careful with teenagers because 4 has a problematic representation. But great way to discuss how counting systems and digit representation work. There's a nice puzzle too, that you can ask them how many "this" is with all fingers open. They usually need a hint, where you ask them how many an 11th finger would be. Funny thing is that kids usually pick up the counting system far faster than adults but adults tend to get the puzzle solved much faster.
Is it poignant? Makes no difference me. Bad writing is bad writing.

> I've often seen photographers use black gaffer tape to hide the prominent camera manufacturer logos.

Most of us do that for reasons other than theft protection.

It's especially common for street photographers, as an obvious Leica or something will draw attention that we don't want - we want people not to notice us, because our whole goal is to capture things in their "natural setting".

I do it - in fact, I bought my camera partially because it doesn't look like a modern pro-level dSLR. It's a Fujifilm X-Pro3, and I've covered the logo with black tape and often use vintage (or vintage-looking) lenses. My intent is for people to assume I'm part of a college art class or something. It gives them an easy way to "put me in a box" in their hears, classify me as understood and unremarkable, then forget about me.

Prior to this, I had a silver X-E2. I'll never forget the time I was out shooting with a friend who had a brand new, black, Leica M. Twice people came up to us and spoke only to me, wanting to talk about photography or ask about my camera. I'd picked it up on Craigslist for ~$200 - my friend was standing next to me the whole time with a ~$7k Leica with an amused look on his face.

That was the moment I decided I'd never buy a silver camera again.

I picked up the Tao Te Ching in middle school and would reread it frequently. The personal insights would evolve as I grew up and faced different issues in my life. I found an abiding peace in those personal insights and they have held with me since. One of those insights is something like having instead of seeking as an identity. I don’t feel that I want to seek to find myself or some great answer, it’s already there, I already have it. YMMV bits a wonderful ancient text. I recommend the S. Mitchel translation.

I could never get into the sitting and breathing kind of meditation, but I do find different times I am able to practice very meditative activities such as walking in the woods, aimless wandering, puttering about with no intention just taking in the world. I used to do zen inspired landscape photography and that whole process felt very meditative to me.
If you're a materialist, which sounds likely to be true given the available evidence, any claims to the supernatural are disqualified by, for example, the Sagan standard.
Quick aside, these are all marketing sites, so if you're looking for application UX/UI inspiration (which I was) this is not the thing.

A good number of these are aimed at developers, meaning I'm in their target market. So I'm going to state my opinion, knowing full well that these tactics are super prevalent which means presumably they work and I may well be an outlier. But I hope I'm not... ...so with that hope in mind...

If you want to market to me (Us?) - don't build this shit. Seriously, just don't. If I'm your target market, this isn't actually good web design.

Yeah, it's eye catchy, but you're making me dig for what I want to know: Does this actually solve my problem? The more marketing flash you put on top of that, the more I experience a sneaking suspicion that you're all style and no substance.

If you want to sell to me, use good clean UX that is pleasantly styled, but not flashy. And get to the point. Show me exactly what I need to know as fast as humanly possible, with a minimum of distraction and cognitive load. Show me your features. Show me your UX. Don't use graphical representations of your UX, show me the real thing. Screenshots of actual use cases. Show me how you handle the use cases that matter to me, your prospective user.

The more you hide your actual product, and try to distract me with fancy flash, the less likely I am to open up a conversation. I don't have time for this shit when I'm shopping for dev tooling. Make it as easy as humanly possible for me to determine whether you solve my problem in the way I need as quickly as humanly possible.

Maybe I'm an exception, but personally I think good web design is a design that communicates quickly, clearly, and cleanly while minimizing cognitive load.

These are not that. Many of them are expressly the opposite of that.

Edit: For those of you saying that sales are targeting managers not devs... uh... well... uh... I spent the last 5 years as DevOps/SRE Manager/Director so... uh... some of us keep our dev sensibilities I guess?
So from the outside, it basically looks like this identity theft problem is self inflicted.

When you have surplus photovoltaic capacity — an increasingly common situation — you could turn it to electrolysis. You still have to pay for the equipment, but it sounds like it could be pretty cheap.

It would cut out the cost of mining, and possibly a lot of transportation costs, if you can use the products nearby.
These are basically all ads for something. It is like with TV-ads they are "glossy" in their own way, trying to catch the attention to sell something.
I wasn't looking for a "gotcha." Just saying that you need to consider all the input costs to know how this pencils out.

50% is almost exactly the paper's claimed efficiency for the lab cell, so it's a reasonable number.

Overall, I'm very enthusiastic electrocatalytic methods for producing hydrocarbons as a combustion fuel source for applications where direct electric technologies are not feasible. I'd much rather seen money and energy going into making something like this work, than all the effort on hydrogen. Propane, or any hydrocarbon in the 3C-8C range, is a way better fuel for any fossil fuel replacement energy system than hydrogen.
Eh, we'll see. I'd really like to see some quantification of this "skyrocketing." I supposed it depends on where you are. I've seen e-scooters reappear in my city, but not bikes so far, and these were popular 5-7 years ago before disappearing and they didn't stay popular that first time. The claim that they can go faster than regular bikes is not true. Six states already require a driver's license to operate them no matter what, and states that do not typically predicate that on a rule that anything capped at 20 MPH doesn't count as a motor vehicle that requires registration or a driver's license. A non-electronic bicyclist who has any reasonable level of aerobic fitness and isn't a hundred pounds overweight can pretty easily go faster than that.

I get the appeal. I didn't own a car when I was in college 20 years ago and got everywhere in my city by bicycle. It was more enough given my personal tranportation needs. But a car offers a lot more than just "not having to exert physical effort" for the people who use them. Protection from the elements. Space for passengers. Space for cargo. They're legal to operate on highways.

People using these things need to stay off the sidewalks, too. That's going to cause a crackdown at some point.

> Throttle enabled e-bikes are even easier to use as they don’t even require pedaling – they can basically be used as 20 mph (32 km/h) mopeds. At that speed, they’re fast enough for people to cruise through a city easily yet don’t come with the same power and speed concerns that have traditionally turned most commuters away from motorcycles.

Hard disagree. In my opinion throttle enabled bicycles should be classed (and taxed) as mopeds with license plates and all.

At 32 Km/h you are already hauling ass to be a danger for other cyclists and pedestrians. Throttle enabled e-bikes are very much part of the problem in the reputation around e-bikes.

The fact that you have to put human effort into accelerating in a pedal assist e-bike absolutely curbs your behaviour, reduces your average speed, and makes you much less reckless.

It's not embarrassing to go work somewhere else. It's smart. It sounds like you don't have a passion for your current business. Do something else.

I worked at a company where the founder raised X million, blew through his life savings, was forced to take a pay cut, barely making a livable wage. The board then brought in a "professional" CEO, who couldn't raise any money, and left after less than a year. In the process, everyone was laid off (including myself, briefly.) A short time later, the company was acquired for pennies on the dollar. As one of the first few employees, all my equity was worthless. I mean, it should have been, seeing the company barely made enough to pay the AWS bills after 6 years. It was not a good situation, but live and learn. I should've moved on earlier, but since I was one of the first people hired, it was tough for me.
TIL! Thanks a bunch, I'll definitely check this out.
I’m broadly aligned with what your focus is on what to do first.

Your approach seems to self-evidently present the issue with this proposed framework.

If:

- the goal of a startup security program is to meaningfully protect revenue (two parts to this IMO: prevent catastrophic breach, and have a sec program that can pass RFPs and SOC2 eventually)

- RFPs can start early and often

and:

- for a small sec program, ideally you shoot for a very tight overlap of the above (tangible risk controls that helps sales)

- the goal of the MSVP is to slot into the RFP process to provide meaningful controls

Then:

- we’ve both independently laid out that a bulk of the work for early wins is on enterprise and infra, and it’s not worth hammering devs beyond the obvious (patches acceptably safe package management, no horrible API or authn/z risks)

- majority of what you’ve covered and I’ve covered aren’t on the proposed MSVP

So putting that together, it makes me feel that MSVP misses the mark vs its goals. The authors claim that it’s supposed to be more product related, but much of it is not product-related. These parts also largely don’t at all cover the obvious things you’ve laid out. And, the product-related parts get right into the dev’s space, such that you’d need a very security-committed dev or a very over-tasked sec eng to do it all. It seems to be a bad blend of not pragmatic for the realities of startup sec via not understanding how one can get defense in depth product wins without doing strictly “prodsec” and why that’s a solid approach.
Hmm, you might have a point there. Still, it's just a hammer. It's blameless. I guess these management fads just make it easier for lousy managers to do damage?
This is a profoundly rude comment.

> The counterpoint is essentially that if people engaged in social outward-looking collective action, as opposed to solitary inward-looking meditation, then you can change the world -- as has been demonstrated countless times.

Why do these two actions contradict each other? People can do both. Gandhi was not only a community organizer who affected broad, collective action but also practiced meditation.

I don't follow. Let's presume the rational markets hypothesis for now (dubious in the case of Tesla but it's not important here). Then the value created by Tesla is not people owning cars who previously didn't, but the increased quality or value of the cars vs what they otherwise would have had. Whilst individual purchasing decisions are zero-sum in the moment i.e. if someone spends X on a Tesla they can't then spend X on anything else, that doesn't mean Tesla siphons customers from every other company in the world (why restrict to cars?). Rather, in the long term other companies get more competitive, increasing the value of all cars, and people get "richer" because now they can drive more/better/their air is cleaner/whatever, and Tesla also get richer, so wealth has been created. An individual micro-economic transaction on that day may be zero sum, but the whole economy overall isn't unless there's no growth.
650k is a joke.
This very much aligns with my experience.

Meditation helps me be with what is and remember that I’m ok.

Therapy helps me permanently untangle the thoughts and feelings that lead to distress in the first place.

They both complement each other and provide benefits that can’t be found in either alone. Meditation seems universally useful. Therapy somewhat less so, but still a powerful tool. If you’re not dealing with trauma, a good friend/mentor can provide the same feedback.

> Code coverage percentage numbers on a dashboard are a risky business. They can give you a false sense of confidence. Because you can have 100% code coverage and be plagued by multitude of bugs if you do not test what the code is supposed to do.

Or, conversly, I've been in charge by really awkwardly testable code.. which ends up being really reliable. Plugin loading, config loading (this was before you spring boot'ed everything in java). We had almost no tests in that context, because testing the edge cases there would've been a real mess.

But at the same time, if we messed up, no dev environment and no test environment would work anymore at all, and we would know. Very quickly. From a lot of sides, with a lot of anger in there. So we were fine.

The human brain is far less rational than we tend to believe. Recent research indicates that we hallucinate our world: we guess what we are likely to see, based on prior experience. If wrong, our brain adjusts and reevaluates the sensory data. In some cases, we even ignore unusual experiences that do not fit into our internal model.

Senior meditators spend vast amounts of time examining their personal reality, and learn that it isn't as neat and clean as we thought. That said, some do believe in outlandish things.

Jhana and nirodha sammapati are not irrational, they have been studied by scientists during the last several years. What is irrational are the belief systems built on top of those experiences by some buddhist traditions.

Out of body experiences can be had by any person who spends enough time meditating. The teachers I work with understand that it is not a supernatural experience.
One reason I usually take the train to work over biking, even when it's nice out, is that the train gets me to work a bit faster, and I'm not going to be sweaty if it's hot out. An e-bike would for the same level of effort, get me to work a lot faster, I imagine, so I'm considering getting one.
