We've got a TypeScript AMA starting in just a few minutes (10am Pacific) on the TypeScript Discord!
Yep, Windows XP icons were designed and produced on a Mac in FreeHand.
Microsoft was our first paying client back in 1997: we made the icon suite for Outlook Express on Mac OS 9. It was the email counterpart to Internet Explorer 5.

Hello, CoSocial!
I live in Calgary and work at UCalgary, where I'm Associate Director, Learning Technologies & Design at the Taylor Institute for Teaching & Learning. More details at https://darcynorman.net/about/
I blog at https://darcynorman.net and post photos at https://darcynorman.net/photos (both have RSS feeds that will post here at some point)
A lot of tech people, particularly more junior folks, are looking for jobs right now. A short but important note for them: newcomers should generally ignore career advice from people who've been in the field longer than 10 or 15 years.
The way the industry treats us is so dramatically different from the way it treats newcomers that most advice is just flat out wrong.

The Mikucom engine crawls slowly towards 3D using the HTML Canvas renderer...
But can you see the artefacts that are bothering me? What's going on with those triangle edges!?
The model is good and it happens in other models - so it's not that.
Could it be top left resterisation gone wrong, or bad blending on the anti-aliased edges? I'm using Canvas "2d context" path rendering, so surely that's all handled correctly?
Anyone recognise what these artefacts are?

Finding a way to have productive critique, rigorous analysis, AND communal care & build something better than bullshit dehumanizing person-centered reasoning (that really, has deeply discriminatory roots that should be terrifying to an industry that struggles to desegregate), we've gotta get to that
It's funny because you spend years as a psychologist trying to convince people are you Not Just a Feelings Guy, you do deeply technical logical rigorous work about mechanisms etc, and then you're like ah shit maybe I am a Feelings Guy because that's what the people need and the models say
A lot of software folks sometimes open up to me and say something like, "well I am really extremely sensitive" and then recount something and I'm like, let me not invalidate you, but also...this sounds AWFUL and like something that would absolutely hurt anyone with a heart

We are all baking in very broken systems, same here as I am on a lifelong journey to interrogate my perspectives and beliefs, but I do think regularly about how to work with this population and in this field and not become desensitized or start to use this kind of argument and language

The culture of regular, casual demeaning & dehumanizing language that goes on in software dev is extraordinary to me. I sit back and observe it sometimes like, wow, this knocks the wind out of me. It is pretty extraordinary how it is ALSO the tone of people proposing to be "on the side of the human"

I will admit too, re: my last post about dehumanization, that beyond all of my training, my experience of being severely ill and fearing for my life and then disabled in a society that did not give a single shit about whether I died really changed my brain as well. We wrest humanity out of the entropy of the universe. What more extraordinary accomplishment could there be. How little your intelligence and little niche demonstrations of technicality matter compared to that.
heart don't work? brain don't matter
Ok, I think *now* the C++ based FBX importer is working just fine!

That is the exact reason I did design libre fonts.

見当違いの事を言い出すこともあるけどまともな答えが得られる事も結構ある
1日持ってかれるような調査だったのが、5分10分でレポートがポロンって出てくるもんだからすごいですわ。
あと、2、3年ほど「わかんねぇよぉ〜」ってしてたやつが、Deep Researchに聞いたら「僅かにわかりそう」に至ったのが衝撃だった。

"Python packaging is terrible and no one wants anyone to fix it."
Friends, python packaging was *better* than its reputation when I was a neophyte and it's been getting worked on more or less constantly the entire time I've been in the game.
I'm not even a huge fan of uv but 
@hynekHynek Schlawack broke down modern packaging in 25 minutes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UuW8o4bHbw
And I've said it before, I'll say it again: The standards work that is reducing the packaging side differences between the tools to make them all interop is actively changing the game.
Important follow up:
ppb has literally lived through _three_ eras in python packaging.
When I initially published it, we were using `setup.py` to build universal python wheels, we moved to `setup.cfg` and we're using `pyproject.toml` now.
Each iteration has been easier than the last.

以前は調査がむっちゃ大変で
真面目にやろうとすると調査だけで時間食いまくって結局なんもできなかったんだけど
えーあいのおかげでこれが爆速で済むようになって行動に移るまでの時間が短くなったのはよいよね
みんなもDeep Researchでフォアグラになろう
Deep Research使うと「完全に理解した」に高速に至るので行動に繋げやすい気がする。
その後ちゃんと「なんもわからん」に至ると思うけどそれはそれで。
