zoom you browser in 10% (ctrl+). i get this issue on a lot of personal blogs and this always fixes it to some degree

it is odd, but I chalk it up to the fact that bret is a young man who's poured his productivity into a field that's fairly broad already. can't fault him for not being as well read in other areas so far in his life, but i'm sure he's interested in getting around to enjoying literature some day

you make much assumptions about how well read Bret is in other areas.

children have no lack of free time, and if this is just another activity they enjoy, it will give them access to learning important skills for their future

this happened to me, but i went through the exit again and this time it worked

two things that get very hot

if you are doing because you believe in the value and beauty of human society, you wouldn't want to genetically modify their personality...

Who's personality? Yours? Mine? Why not this new guy, who's really very nice; nicer than most people we know. Because we made him that way.

I believe that a child's first program is a beautiful thing, but I still want them to grow. Acknowledging something has value doesn't mean you think it's perfect.

value should be presented as Z height of the tile as well

Wouldn't the occlusion of the shapes behind it be confusing?

It could be negative height which would work very well and not obstruct any view.

a little bit, but they don't need to get too tall and it would look interesting

I really don't think you read the entire article, but: "As another aside, Bell’s Inequality only proves that the reality assumption and locality (nothing can travel faster then light) can’t both be true. However, locality (and relativity) work perfectly, and there are almost no physicists who are willing to give it up. Except for Bohm, who’s an ass."

short-lived accessories like this and iphone charging cables are very profitable. stress relief might cut the number they sell in half.

Or double their costs, I got a free replacement for a MacBook charging cable 3+ years after purchase a couple of years ago.

I still think it's a problem of user error. In this house we've got first gen iPod touch cables in daily use , a vintage iPad 2 cable which is fine and 4 lightning cabled devices that are fine. I think a lot of people just yank on the cable rather than the connector.

When you are designing consumer electronics, there is literally no such thing as user error. Except for people who are in love with their gadgets and take care of them as if they were their children, no one is going to pay attention to how they handle something as trivial as a cable.

If users yank on the cable rather than the connector, the correct solution is to make the cable more durable, not to educate users on the intricate details of cable handling.

I wouldn't call it user error to abuse your cables to the point of failure (they should totally be tougher), but I'm also realistic: many companies cheap out on the cables, and it's difficult to tell from looking at them whether they're cheap or not, so if you want them to last, you have to assume they're fragile and be careful with them. This attitude has gotten me far with my MBP power adapters, which have both been working flawlessly since 2010 despite a lot of other people apparently having theirs fall apart.

I'd love to see it without the shell

I've just shared some prototype photos here: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A1532ODW4jpjh

Excuse the messy desk.

Here's a not-so-good view of that: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/001/762/438/f98d141ed0f9...
