I didn't realize you were the original programmer on this — amazing work!
lbebber · a year ago
Thank you! I both programmed and designed this--I miss doing this kind of work.

Thank you for building this; over the years the bus animation has gone a bit wonky, but otherwise the page holds up really well. It’s a great library you built.
lbebber · a year ago
Beautiful work! I thought the bus was a fun goofy touch on its first appearance hahah

Oh, I made this! (almost a decade ago, huh)

Craig Mod's "Koya Bound" website has beautiful photos and custom SVG maps.

I thought this was so compelling that I ended up walking the trail myself. Incredible experience.

Oh, this was based off of a project I made for Codrops[1]. Let me know if you'd like some help or input!

That doesn’t help with selection, does it?
lbebber · 2 years ago
You can select text this way too; once it’s in “trackpad mode”, tap the keyboard with another finger, and it will start text selection.

I mean, lighting was kind of a killer app
lbebber · 3 years ago
We still refer to the electricity bill as the “light bill” in Brazil.

This seems like an easy problem to solve for Apple.

Just sell the iPhone for $30 more, and give people the option to not buy a charger with their phone for a $30 discount. Adds up to the same thing, but instead of paying extra for the charger, you get a discount if you don't take it in the name of "saving the environment".

Yes, that’s part of the intention of the law in fact, so that a company can’t advertise a lower price than the consumer would actually pay.

> 90% seems way too high to be people who are actively wanting to leave

We are talking about the people who clean up the nastiest human waste that our bodies are capable of producing. I was already surprised that this number was ever less than 100% tbh

A friend of mine was (is?) completely unfazed by this sort of thing--right from the start, it was not some resistance built up over time.

She left the profession due to the long hours, low pay, and poor treatment.

The biggest thing with settings pages is stop redesigning them. If I've figured it out once I don't want to have to again!
lbebber · 4 years ago
Yes but the decision to redesign something might be towards people who haven't figured it out, which if they are a large enough fraction might be worth the tradeoff.

(there are other reasons too of course, sometimes not really good ones)
