Subjective Objections

On Fridays I come home late. I go to Greek Class which sees me home by 9:30 at night. I’m in bed by 10:30 most nights. To normal people that’s not late. Certainly not to Greeks whom I’m given to understand are too busy eating at absurdly odd hours to sleep ever except in the morning. After social engagements, I take a long time to “come down,” because my social battery doesn’t drain so much as become supercharged and render sleep unlikely. I couldn’t sleep through Missuz’ […]

Via Negativa

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something: the strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock; the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
The Life of Friedrich Schiller, Part 2 (1825)

🌖 讓 macOS 26 的視窗圓角醜得一致(非反諷)
➤ 與其與過度的圓角設計對抗,不如透過程式注入強制達成視覺統一。
https://lr0.org/blog/p/macos/
macOS 26 的視窗圓角設計因過度圓潤且在不同應用間缺乏一致性,飽受詬病。作者不願透過關閉系統完整性保護(SIP)來強行修改,認為這會帶來不必要的安全隱憂。相反,他採取了一種優雅的技術手段:透過動態函式庫注入(DYLD injection),利用方法置換(Method Swizzling)技術,強制統一所有第三方應用程式的視窗圓角半徑。透過將所有邊角強制設為 23 像素,作者成功讓整個系統的視覺風格呈現出一種「一致性的醜陋」,達成了一種另類的 UX 統一。
+ 這解決了困擾我許久的「視覺強迫症」,雖然結果看起來確實很怪,但至少它們現在看起來都長得一樣了。
+ 修改 `NSThemeFrame` 的實作雖然巧妙,但這種透過 `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES` 注入的方式在往後的 macOS 版本更新中可能會面臨更

Testing Fountain Pen Inks

Question: has anyone done extensive testing on any fountain pen inks?

I don’t mean the standard Mountain of Ink style, sample card, writing sample, etc. visual comparisons. (I’d like to call this subjective measurement, but chromatographic measurements aren’t subjective if done in a controlled manner.)

I am thinking more objective testing: viscosity, density, flow rate @ a given line width, etc.

I was thinking about this type of testing tonight, and it seems to me that there are a lot of factors that would need to be controlled: temperature, air pressure / barometric pressure, nib consistency, friction (aka heat), etc. Given what I was thinking this could be an interesting experiment, if someone wanted to undertake controlling all the variables, and implementing the controls necessary for consistent results.

What is Trump's true objective in the Iran war? U.S. targets provide a clue

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department last week outlined a concise set of military objectives in President Trump’s war against Iran, claiming its ultimate goal is to dismantle Tehran’s ability to project power beyond its borders. Yet it may be targets the...

🎉 Gather 'round, folks, for the tale of a #brave #soul who heroically vanquishes the villain of #Objective-C, only to sheepishly rekindle his love for it like a confused ex. 🤦‍♂️ Watch as consistency and logic vanish into thin air, making way for the triumphant return of the dreaded Objective-C—and just in time for the author's #midlife #crisis command-line blog generator revival. 🚀

inessential: Why Objective-C

Amateur #microscopy is really a quite relaxing activity. Spent two hours studying this #amoeba in the #microscope last night. Truly fascinating! Found lots of them in my garden pot, despite being mid-winter here in Norway. The kids think (or understand) that I'm crazy 😆 ...
