Ohh nice. Very LCARS-y!

I also ran into this issue with French specifically, and got frustrated and gave up. Even original language French films/shows seem to have spotty subs (or none at all!) Most of them have English subs, but that's not as helpful for learning. Did you ever find alternatives?

Awesome. And Hacker News holds up pretty well!

Interesting! I don't immediately perceive anything distinctly American about it, but I'm definitely biased. Could you provide any examples of what you'd consider non-american data design, if only for my personal design curiosity. :)

To add to this, because the list is ordered, a multi-column list would create ambiguity in the order of ingredients.
The change in font to help legibility is the best option in this use case – and I was really surprised to see how effective it was!

Exactly. These are the symptoms of a withdrawal from escapism. You could replace "VR" in the article by many other kinds of absorbing experiences.
Not to discredit the author's own personal findings, it's probably a healthy thing to be self-aware of these feelings. And there might be something to VR that makes the contrast of detachment more intense.

This also made me raise an eyebrow. I found a preprint[0] of an article on the subject after some googling. I've only skimmed it so far but it seems promising.

> This makes no sense. If you're a true music lover, a great song will give you countless hours of enjoyment and appreciation. Do you seriously think $1.50 is too much for that?
Just to add to this: since you've been streaming the song, you already know that you enjoy it! There is no risk to you, as a consumer, of purchasing something you'd dislike. This, to me, is the genius of streaming services. I know that my money, once I spend it, is going to artists I enjoy.

I tried a negative series and a decimal series, just in case the rule was increasing natural numbers. I tried very large numbers to see if there was a limit to the rule, and a series that had large contrast in between each element. For fun I tried to see if the app would recognize "pi", "i", or "e", but, perhaps unsurprisingly, it did not.

Getting some serious M5 vibes right now.
