@mwichary Hi Marcin, if you don't mind I'd like to point out that at the address in your post from yesterday, where you emphasized how the objects were mostly in scale, I found this one
@mora Seems like a bug on the site? Worth sending to the owner?

I will occasionally link to a post from the blog that I feel really good about, if you don’t mind!
From this morning, a review of the documentary Koolhaas Houselife, ostensibly having nothing to do with UX design:

A post about the pretty inspiring and strange software that is Strudel, sort of a command line/text editor for music. I want my CSS authoring to feel this way.

@mwichary Oh this is another of my niche interests I have to look into one of these days!

An appreciation of one tool that does screenshotting in a really interesting way, plus the history of how ⌘⇧3 and ⌘⇧4 ended up where they are.

There used to be an icon depicting a camera with huge viewfinder that showed for grabbing window only screenshots (⌘⇧3 space) that was supposed to be a relic from NeXTSTEP. They discontinued it around 2018 I guess. -

@mwichary OMG: Hungarian alphabet: ABC…XZY (from the alphabetic keys, only the Z and Y are swapped)

@doekman @mwichary That is also the case with German layouts and perhaps a few others.
And then you'll have the French AZERTY layout that even moved the M from the bottom row to the right of L!
Hungarian QWERTZ is kind of annoying, I guess we inherited the base layout from being part of the Habsburg Austria-Hungary and all, but we have a bunch of letters (ty, gy, sz, zs) that feel ever so slightly more fun to roll out on a QWERTY layout. It is also absolutely garbage for programming.

@secretasianman @mwichary I can't find it. I lived through this but don't remember by now. What was it?

@mwichary Such a bad UX. Why can't it just be PrintScreen and go to a file and the clipboard at the same time? #macos #baduxdesign

@OndrejZizka Oh, file and clipboard is a really interesting idea! I never thought of that.

I learned about this cool exhibit at ACMI in Melbourne today, and immediately had to write about it.
It simulates working at a help line for a videogame company in 1993, complete with fictitious games, and a physical 300-page binder of various documents. Amazing.
