@glennf I had to tell myself that piano had to have already been broken beyond all hope. And all the other things too. I don't remember what they were, and I don't really want to watch it again.
Pages release notes say "Press and hold the Command key to select noncontiguous words, sentences, or paragraphs”.
That's an original 1984 Macintosh feature.
@alexr So, I just fired up TeachText in System 1.0, and holding the Command key does not seem to let me select non-contiguous text. Would you mind giving it a try? I'm curious if I just didn't know how to do it at the time. https://infinitemac.org/1984/System%201.0
@alexr Yep, it's described in the 1992 HIG too (page 291), but I suspect that was intended to be more prescriptive for future implementations.
I can't even command-drag to select text non-contiguously in OS-level text fields in Sonoma, outside of the new Pages release. It would have had to be a custom text engine in MS Word or something.
I know that BBEdit is a darling amongst old-school Mac nerds, and I love and use this app every day — but those icons in the Menu are just so off-putting and so un-Mac-like in my opinion. How are people not rioting over this?
It's rare that I see an Instagram ad that’s worthwhile, but I have been struggling with how to take photos of reflective things without a full-on studio setup. This translucent cone is a huge winner from V-Flat World: https://vflatworld.com/collections/the-light-cone-karl-taylor First photo is Peanuts comic in sleeve; second is viewing through cone; 3rd and 4th are photos through cone—single light source. The site recommends using inexpensive desk lamps on either side for evenness. (Not a paid endorsement!)
If there was a name for a Frontend Developer who sits ideally in front-of-the-front-end while also advising Design with regards Accessibility concerns, maybe UX here and there, and the feasibility of actually implementing the design ideas in code...
What would that role be called?
I get that Design Systems and the people who build them sit in this space. But still, what is that role called? And what if I'm not actively the one in charge of the design system?
