Dieter Rams @ Braun. Ive REALLY likes his designs. https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/the-design-continuum-6494...

What did you expect? Braun didn't design any cars.

Re:SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @10:58PM (#47858324)
any IDE you like and Claude code - i have no idea why you'd want to use something like Cursor, it's time came and went.
Maybe it’s allowed because they built the ability to direct the costs to your extra usage budget, not your monthly subscription?

Google has one of the worst commercial UX of any products I've ever used.

Haven’t found it yet. The component parts seems to be close. Opus is much better at drawing SVG than it used to be.

To be fair, i did not ask for a logo with a pelican in it.
Re:Claude Design on Friday April 17, 2026 @05:20PM (#47810698)
My feedback for whatever it's worth as a 25yr design veteran.

* Massive token usage, some small tasks burned through $50 of credits and did not offer $50 of value.

* Terrible at logo work. Comically bad. This is something that is "hard" so it could add great value if it could deliver.

* Repeatedly forgot prior feedback - when iterating it would re-implement prior iterations after being told why we didn't want that result which made for a very frustrating UX.

* Prone to adding visual clutter - kept adding extra elements that look "pretty" but add no value to the user.

* Seems better at "pretty" vs user focused / UX.

* Did not do a good job at using my existing design / UI library

* REALLY wanted to start from scratch. Could not be coaxed into designing part of an application, it wanted to redesign the whole thing.

Me too! I love the view up there.
You're absolutely right...
Yeah but then you can't put a snorkel on it and extraction boards and expedition gas cans so you can advertise how adventurous you are in your spare time.

Three - CSS.
If the data on that site is correct, it says 26%.
50% are criminals? Do you have a source for that?

Got any sources for that bro?
I wish someone would bring back the Snow train that used to go SF -> Sugarbowl.

Nice - it might know about Svelte 5 finally...
Oh man - I love Windsurf, but only use Claude in there. This doesn't sound like great news to me.

Desalination plants produce a lot of brine, which you need to dispose of. You can't just put it back in the sea without killing marine life. It's not a simple problem to solve.

I am so sick of PG&E - our energy bills are nearly $1,000/mo. It's absolutely bonkers.

That is such a wonderful quote from you asking if you can name examples of him signalling Nazism, apart from the Nazi salute he gave three times to the entire crowd of the inauguration and on national tv.

Should be pretty seamless. We may make stacked PRs more of a first class experience in the future.

Re:Mom jailed for letting 10-year-old walk alone to town on Tuesday November 12, 2024 @03:04PM (#42119112)
When I was 8? I think, I used to take a bus to go get a VHS tape from the local rental shop. It's important for kids to have autonomy. In Japan, its pretty common to send even younger kids out on errands.
