seems like there are still ongoing efforts for digital currency aside from crypto and state-backed currencies.. OSS, this could be it.

as someone mentioned recently somebody made this build123d-playground on the web:

https://jojain.github.io/build123d-sandbox/

learning curve is steep, but the examples get you going in no time..

though not really CAD, favorite example: https://build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples_1.html#c...

shows the ability of this implementation of the open cascade kernel.. i havent found this kind of projection function too often in other cad programs, so this is really cool.. i remember trying to do similar with ptc creo and it was a pain..

Supermarket checkout with a round amount feels like winning some lottery, admittedly.

Great idea. As a "visual type" this would be so much more intuitive to decipher. I prefer TUIs over GUI exactly because they're simpler and work hard to focus on the essential. This is low hanging fruit to enhance TUIs.

Hard agree.

Agree. Gist of the FA is about "calm technology". Title should reflect it better.

Also agree on everything author mentions. I can't attest to all examples but I know what a UI is.

Author mentions center of focus of attention. We should hear more often about the periphery of our attention field. Its bandwidth so to speak is a magnitude lower compared to the center but it's still there and can guide some decisions quite unintrusively to flow.

(Major) eye movements are a detriment to attention, which itself should be treated like a commodity (in case of a UI thousands use, moreso like a borrowed commodity).

Is there anything to be said about accessibility? Found the word only once in the comments.
