You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
This isn't particularly hazardous for a typical residential door. However, I would NOT recommend average Joe doing this on anything over an 8x12 door, or a door with glass windows. I've seen people thrown and bars explosively hurled on heavy doors (with heavy springs) during unexpected failures/incidents.

All these complex theories/complaints about lightning. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, one good reason for not shifting to USB-C is to keep IP ratings high.

Most USB-C sockets I can find are waterproof only with a matching cable plugged in.

Re:UX clichés on Thursday May 09, 2019 @08:13AM (#19867502)
Yes, or hire a good designer who's aware of the medium. Otherwise, you're hiring a stylist/artist.

““Designers should have a seat at the table” When you are not able to prove your strategic value to the company based on your everyday actions and behaviors, and you have to beg to be invited to important meetings.“

Or it could be that an experienced designer has more to offer than acting as a glorified crayon only putting color where the stakeholders want it.

Re:Two Different Kinds of Illustration on Thursday February 01, 2018 @06:47PM (#16287055)
From what I've read I don't get the feeling that he has considered that more often than not, illustration in products often serves as an affordance. As such it needs to be highly legible and brief. Sometimes similar to editorial artwork, but usually with entirely different needs.
As someone who doesn't have a math background, and doesn't know latex. This is very handy as a teaching and learning tool.
Re:The Japanese Iced Coffee Method (2012) on Friday June 24, 2016 @12:07PM (#11970891)
It's a different method of brewing. However the psuedoscience he uses to justify it as being 'better' is just touchy feely handwaving.

If you enjoy the taste do it, if you don't, toddy brew on my fellow humans.

Or he's just ranting as he's prone to do.

At no point does he make an originality claim, and you don't need to be original to voice disappointment...
