Merriweather and Lato have become the Times New Roman and Arial respectively of our age, not indecent in their own right, signalling less the users’ aesthetical incapacity than their indifference.

开卷有益

最近遇到主动加班的同事掌握了新的嘲讽手段：「你卷到我了」。同情被迫营业的同事也有了新的安慰话术：「我是你的卷怜人」。

搞不懂代码编辑器为什么没有在法律行业成为标配？是个编辑器都有的 multi-caret、select all occurrences、symbol completion 和 jump to definition 放着不用，非要用 Word 和 Times New Roman 折腾自己，那眼瞎脖子疼不是自找的吗

今日冷笑话：英国的公司名称允许包含 "<> 这样的特殊字符，结果有人注册了一个公司叫做

 \" > ; <SCRIPT SRC=MJT.XSS.HT ></SCRIPT> LTD

于是在英国的公司登记网站上一访问就会执行跨站脚本

官方发现以后，把这家公司的名字强行改成了“THAT COMPANY WHOSE NAME USED TO CONTAIN HTML SCRIPT TAGS LTD”

最近应付多个项目同时处理的一个 hack：每个项目专门开一个桌面处理，同时固定在这个桌面的右上角放上项目对应文件夹的 Finder 窗口。除了区分任务，这样做的一个附加好处是，因为 Finder 会在用户试图打开已有窗口的时候激活对应窗口，这些已经打开的项目文件夹相当于变成了桌面的书签，用 Alfred/Spotlight 输入项目名称就可以切换到对应桌面。另外，第一个桌面固定用来放 Obsidian 和 Drafts 作为 dashboard，第二个桌面固定用来放 Firefox 用来临时浏览/上班摸鱼，因为位置固定，分别用 Ctrl+1/2 快速访问就可以。

It's not racist to point out that Chinese industry is doing itself real harm by its flagrant and inexcusable failure to ask native speakers to check translated instructions and advertising text.

Excel is the proverbial hammer that makes everything look like a nail. […] The problem is that the average Excel user doesn't have the right knowledge to judge what the best solution is to their problem.

If your sense of smell hasn’t been affected in the last few months, then what you smell in your own mask is familiar, private and monotonous — and impossible to ignore.

发现 AirPods 只开降噪啥也不放也不太能撑得下一趟三个多小时的高铁了，想着反正有 AC+，就拿去店里看看能不能换一下结果找的 Genius 面带难色地说，这个电池问题我们是没法测试的，但请问你还有别的故障吗？我一开始没听懂，正准备再据理力争一下，Genius 循循善诱地说，我们有的同事最近换了不少出现杂音的，请问你是不是感觉到有杂音？已经暗示到这种程度了，我也只好配合地说，那好像走路的时候是有一点杂音 Genius 如释重负地说，好哒，那我这就按杂音给你换（好的你给我换那你说什么都对）

The crucial question about a computer used to be "But can it run DOOM?". Later it became "But can it run Crysis?". These day it is "But can it run nytimes.com?".

How is the rest of the world press dealing with this "spectacle of shit"?

In addition to supraliteral translations such as くその穴の国々 used by an American-born celebrity writing in Japanese in Newsweek, and the WSJ's 便所のような国, there were some more creative options such as BuzzFeed's choice of 肥溜めのような国々.

虽然肯定不是轻芒杂志目标用户群体但冲着设计还是装上看了眼字体还是蛮上心西文 Harriet [1]（之前见到主要是被 Vox 用来做 slug line） + 中文（方正新报宋？[2] ipa 里字体文件把版权信息抹掉了）挺搭的，而且少有的知道调用系统字体的时候要用 SF 而不是苹方自带的西文（无数号称注重设计的国内 app 在这个问题上翻车）缺点的话，衬线字体本来就细，还用 Light 字重和纯黑底色，看起来就跟刀子一样戳眼； onboarding 虽然画风很亲和，但是弹出太频繁粗暴了当然，最本质的担忧还是国内环境下聚合类平台，以及依赖于给微信文章做 wrapper 这种模式的可持续性
