“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity [...] Some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

Why is it so hard for most software developers to admit that they suck at UI and UX design and to ask for help from someone that actually knows what they're doing? Just because you can be a full stack developer doesn't mean you should.

UX is a full-on discipline in and of itself. There's no shame in getting help from someone who's actually good at it, nor admitting to yourself and everybody else that you are not.

People who are really good at FSD are the exceptions, not the rule. We need to stop pretending that they're not.

A brief post to welcome the Borealis, which makes my mind swirl with many ideas for future improvements. But, before I can get to that, I have to contend with how long it's taken to get to this baby step, and acknowledge the relief that it has finally arrived

I'm so sorry.. I can't resist. Still can't believe this.

You only have yourselves to blame.

It's only microcode if it comes from the Horizontale region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling machine code.

An answer to a 100-year-old puzzle. I say an answer, because there is still part of the question that's open.

Google search over the years:

1998-2016: Decent quality web search.

2016-2024: Mediocre web search dominated by SEO garbage and sponsored links.

2024-___: Whatever this is.

This one from Ben Collins over on the bird hell site.

It's just stunning to me how quickly these features are being rolled out.

Lunch friends. 🥰 Negative from my collection, ca. 1970s. When I posted this to Bluesky, a sharp-eyed follower identified the likely location as the dock in front of the Lightship Ambrose in NYC!

That was incorrect: TashTalk + TashRouter work with the #applelisaclone!

That means that my Apple Lisa, otherwise known as a bunch of newly assembled cards, has belatedly joined #GlobalTalk!
