I think Tachyons struck the balance to be honest. Tailwind's "functions" and combinations seem to allow a higher level of complexity where it becomes difficult to quickly inspect a class block after some time has passed.
This is a cool project! One small suggestion: the native blue links for the author name, "thread", and "reply" make the content hard to focus on as the UI is quite intrusive. HN solves this quite well with a colour scheme that has the comment content as the most prominent element in a thread.
> We shouldn't limit ourselves because of climate change. We should instead improve the technology and make it better so it doesn't impact the climate in such a way it becomes unsustainable.
I think we totally should limit ourselves from the idea that it's totally normal to expect to be able to fly anywhere in the world in ~24 hours and to do this regularly.
Really enjoyed reading this article as a Sunday afternoon long-read. Well structured and covers a lot of things I have experienced but haven't formed into such a clear description. Also really appreciate the realistic examples!
There are folks who on purpose do not participate in BTC because they know the energy consumption is wrong. Go tell people about it and they might get it.
I don't participate in BTC because I find the whole thing hilarious.
Between it's inability to work as a payment method at scale (transactions per minute), exchanges running off with client bitcoins, exchanges getting broken into constantly and the shady way it's handled when that happens and on and on.
I'm not saying the idea is fundamentally useless (clearly) but the implementation is terrible.
I might be wrong and in 20 years I'll be getting paid in BTC but I'd bet that isn't the case.
And they make their snide observations from where? That's right, their computers. How much energy is spent consuming and deliving Facebook? Or iOS games?
What a pathetic argument. Do you realize how much energy is used to maintain existing computers systems used by banks for all their fake fiat currency?
There will always be terrible things happening in the world. That doesn't mean we should only work on those problems at the expense of everything else.
Some people just never notice certain parts of UI. There are millions and millions of people with iPhones and there is likely going to be someone who just learned about the camera-switching icon for the first time.
Plus, that same video showed people that you can use the volume buttons as shutter buttons which is something most people likely don't know about.
it's not they don't notice, they don't care and don't use all the functionnality. They are quite stupid. (feel free to downvote me) but I think the same, "how to do simple" things is useless. If the user don't want learn something new, why they will see a video about it?
At the end of the day, UIs are unnatural interfaces. Skeumorphism only makes things worse. So UX design can only meet the user half way; intelligence must be employed to get the most out of an interface.
I see these videos as akin to using a TV remote instead of getting up to change the channel: people are lazy, so appeal to that laziness (along with the whole "here have some pro resources" thing as well) as a form of sales.
Very useful, I really liked that design. (If anything, I wish there had've been a little "notch" cut above the right edge, so that once you move the slider over and the top and bottom parts animate out the edges of the screen, it would look like the slider was moving through the notch. Hopefully that made sense. I do realize that such a visual design would have been just confusing enough that it would never have been approved, though.)
