I've struggled with this too. I want to only use my phone but the quiet focus that a view finder gives me allows better attention to detail, the edges of the photo, and subtle alignments of parallax objects. I find it much harder on a phone or with live view on a proper camera. It's like -- for a moment, I am the camera and I'm about to make a record of a moment. I don't get nearly that feeling with a phone despite years of trying to convince myself its the same
Amazing – congratulations. I've been using the demo version of your product every six months or so since I first saw your post here. I Really appreciate that you've kept it available, and hope you will continue to do so even as the cash continues to pour in. If I was anywhere close to retirement, I'd be a subscriber instantly, but I just like financial planning as a hobby. I recommend it to family and friends. You've created a great, intuitive product and absolutely deserve your success.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate that. We’ve always wanted the tool to be accessible to anyone interested in financial planning, even just as a hobby, so it’s great to hear the basic version has been useful.
Do you think it strikes the right balance between free access and a sustainable paid model?
I think your method is perfect. Having to make notes and re-enter my settings is just the right amount of frustrating, that each time I'm tempted to buy it. I think most people who are less stubborn (cheap) than I would pay the second time they need the tool.
Having the free no-saving model as a public service is hopefully a win-win for you. The public has access to a financial planning tool, and if they need to take their finances more seriously they can start the paid model.
I also like the prompt you've added which says something like /hey, you lost your settings because you're using the free mode, but we can recover them to save you time/. Good detail.
Appreciate the share. I've seen a compilation of these clips out of context and loved them. Never figured out where they came from. They really are amazing in striking the balance between organic and mechanistic. The Kinesin in particular are cute.
Yes... though regrettably, that render is profoundly misleading. The payload is actually flailing around violently. Dancing in the molecular nanoscale moshpit from hell. Between each glacial step, the payload basically explores its entire tethered configuration space. Picture balloon in a hurricane tied to a mouse clinging to a wire, rather than a donkey towing a barge. The render optimizes for art over education, for pretty over engendering misconceptions.
Consider filming a runner, and only showing frames where the arms and legs are in the same unmoving positions, the rigid person quietly floating along over the ground. Or a soccer game render, of floating statues. Not without value, but profoundly misleading. Especially for the poor alien student, deeply unfamiliar with animal life and planetary surfaces.
One nice aspect of TFA, is rendering a moment frozen in time. Rendering non-bogus dynamics remains a hard open problem.
Does ios not rely on hovering/mouse over for alt text or similar? Im mostly on windows but i wonder if theyll eventually concede a second gesture for "put cursor here"
some of these style illusions I've seen drawn by hand before, but the lithopane ones are new to me. I'm sure the 3d printing lithopane community will love them
I think also the negative comments here are missing how commonly closets are built incorrectly without the correct depth for a coat hanger. Not every day, but there are enough people living in condos which had lazy architects/contractors and might appreciate the solution. I've lived in one and seen several others. I couldn't think of another solution besides kids hangers, which wasn't a satisfying compromise.
Interesting! I like your triangle square pattern as well. I haven't seen that before. You may already know that in the landscape architecture world your versaille-like tilings are frequently called ashlar patterns. I think they typically use periodic tilings. "AutoCAD ashlar drafting patterns" are available all over the place.
Also had a pair of headphones for 10 years, Sony MDR 7506. I've replaced the pads several times. I think a lot of good corded headphones will last forever as long as you don't crush them in a backpack.
this last phase in your coder evolution reminds me of a very rough translation of the wabi sabi view on manufacturing. "Nothing lasts, nothing is perfect, nothing is finished."
