At the bottom of the article:

> I’m also interested in taking Reshaped further by introducing more complex, opinionated premium components on top of the core library. Not “50 landing page layouts,” but advanced components that require sophisticated CSS and React logic.


Something like Tailwind Catalyst UI kit [1]?

I'll be definitely be lining up to get one that has more variety.

Currently I'm trying out the recently released AI Elements [2] for its UI components tailored for AI-related stuff and pretty convenient for prototyping.

I think Catalyst looks more like the core Reshaped library atm but we’re jamming on building the first component pack for more complex form fields and layouts. A few other ideas is indeed chat interfaces as well as layout/navigation patterns


I think the article incorrectly states that KEF is owned by Harman, I can only find evidence on the contrary.


It seems that you’re correct! I’m not sure what led me to believe that. I’ll update the post when I get home later.

edit: fixed

I dug into the API similarities between the speakers more and it seems like they're both using this software called StreamSDK [1]. I hadn't heard of that and it's given me more to research on these.

Isn’t this keyboard exactly that? It has Bluetooth and isn’t any wider than your laptop already is. If it’s too thick due to the mechanical switches, the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II might be an option.


The mix and match is what convinced me to give this font a try. I’ve been using Operator Mono for years now specifically because of it’s true italics.

I’ve wanted to switch to an open alternative to Operator Mono for a long time now, and I think because of the mix and match, this finally is the one.


The cursor is often rendered with special GPU acceleration like when using Hardware Cursor, making it as responsive as possible, but that does mean there’s always going to be a slight delay for the draggable object


But this doesn't happen in native UIs. I think this is because JS event handlers are asynchronous and not running within native event loop.


The way Windows handles it seems to be that hardware rendering of the pointer is turned off when you drag around windows. It was very obvious when I was using f.lux, the bright white pointer would turn yellow like the rest of the screen when dragging.

Maybe you could try turning the actual cursor invisible when dragging and instead render a custom drag cursor parented to the object being dragged.


Nobody is forcing anyone not to use Document.write(). The author has voluntarily run a test using Lighthouse on their website, which gives this suggestion as it is not conforming to the Lighthouse "Best Practices".


The ability to just schedule a meeting with someone from a widget on their website seems to me to offer a complete different user experience than having to email someone and go back and forth over available timeslots, even if that back and forth is somewhat automated.


Absolutely. For those who haven't used it, I tell Calendly the hours I'm available. It then lets people book any open slot on my calendar. It's so nice to avoid the tedious "how about X or Y" thing.

It also offers more complex setups. So when I was doing interviewing I could set up a single link for a particular kind of interview. It would offer people slots where both of the interviewers were available and then have the interviewee answer specific questions up front (e.g., their preferred programming language to do the interview in).

But I mainly use it for, "Yes, let's talk, just click this link and pick the time slot that suits you."


The FAQ literally calls it a “job ad”. Ads don’t necessarily need to drive sales for them to be ads.


Fine, if you want to split hairs. But you knew what I meant and are simply responding to the least charitable reading of my comment.

A job ad promotes the existence of a vacancy. The kind of ads that you need to disclose are ads are the ones that are about the product, not about the vacancies at the company producing the product.


> But you knew what I meant and are simply responding to the least charitable reading of my comment.

Um, no:

> You are not required or incentivized to buy anything.


The article's title is "Showing off your status and wealth makes you seem less co-operative", and the title here on HN is absolutely wrong.

I like wearing flashy clothes myself, and I would even say it has proven advantageous to cooperation in my line of work, so I was curious about this article. However, nowhere is it stated that flashy clothes make people less likely to cooperate with you. They say wearing clothes with luxury logos and signal high status does.


According to the article, the study entailed using avatars with or without luxury logos branded on clothing.

Suits can be luxury goods, but the study didn't explore that. It's unclear at a glance if this was actually about status given the methods. There could be other reasons people don't favor corporate-branded clothing, considering that wealthy people don't just wear polos with big corporate logos on them. Maybe it telegraphs poor taste, or that boosting luxury companies makes it seem like you're trying too hard to show that you have money (I make a distinction between this and someone who plainly looks high-status owing to their choice of wear). The obvious thing to include would have been avatars with non-luxury brands, it's possible that would have repelled as well.

On the other hand, every piece of heavily-branded clothing could be considered "luxury" in its own way and the only difference is social class, demographics. In low-culture you'll see Crooks and Castles, Fox Racing, Adidas, etc


The HN title is right, it's the article's title which is at odds with its contents.


Yeah - my apologies. Should have linked to the underlying paper, which is what I based the title on.


One case where that works against people is sales. For example, we had a sales rep for some software we use that would always show up with gaudy gold rings on almost every finger, an obviously-5-figure watch, high end suit, etc.

It sent a pretty strong signal to us that their margins and commissions had a lot of room to negotiate down. I suspect we negotiated harder with this organization than we would have otherwise, looked for opportunities to reduce usage, and so on. Not solely because of the wealthy display, but I'm sure it played some part.


Pretty sure the guy knew exactly what he was doing. First, the fact you were negotiating means he already got over the first step, which is simply to engage in a negotiation at all. Then he set himself up so that your team felt you could push extra-hard, resulting in a discount you all probably high-fived about. So he sets his initial price above his peers and even with your super discount you ended up at the same price as everybody else. Or maybe you did pay less... it's software! Marginal cost = pennies. Cheesy sales guy still made a fat commission.


I was told it is never a faux pas to show up over dressed, but it is to be under dressed. If you look like a pimp, that's one thing. Showing up in a nice pair of pants and shirt when everyone else is in shorts and t-shirts is different.


So like wearing a tuxedo to a job interview is kosher? It’s not wearing a pimp outfit, but surely there are so many examples of wearing inappropriate fancy clothes that you can’t really say that it’s never possible to overdress.


If that's the spirit in which you want to take this conversation then, yes, absolutely, show up to a job interview in a tux. If you're applying any where other than Downton Abbey, then you get what you deserve for taking the conversation in this direction


Can you help me get on track by sharing what you mean by its never a faux pas to show up overdressed? That’s the part that just seems quite surprising to me in my experience. I would say it’s just as easy to show up over as under dressed in an awkward way, rather than something that can never happen.


I never said it wasn't possible to show up overdressed. You just said that.

I simply stated what I had been told that if you're going to make a fashion faux pas it is better to be overdressed than under. What is confusing?


Ah ok, I had somehow misread your comment as saying it is never a faux pas to show up over dressed. Thanks for the clarification, that makes way more sense!


Sure it is. In the tech world at least, a lot of people will judge you negatively if you are a programmer and wear a business suit to an interview at a tech firm


Right, this is reinforced by understanding that also many brands are not recognized by most people but are respected enough by the people that matter, and so could not disrupt cooperation.


I prefer the $ $ way, as it makes it possible to do inline equations, while keeping the source easily readable.


you can do both, the normal markdown way:

  `$a$` squared is `$a^2$`, which is good to know for the pythagorean theorem:
  ```equation
  a^2+b^2\eq c^2
  ```


That doesn't work because then how do you display $a$ as literal inline code?


What about:

    Inline code is ` $a$ ` automatically trimmed
But I think $`a+b`$ makes more sense (or even $$a+b$$; I mean this is markdown after all, not LaTeX).


> But I think $`a+b`$ makes more sense (or even $$a+b$$; I mean this is markdown after all, not LaTeX).

True, but it is TeX notation, and `$$ $$` for inline math goes deeply against the experienced TeXnician's intuition. Why intentionally use notation that violates some users' domain intuition when there's an alternative that's no worse?


Ah yes, agreed, then that does indeed seem like to optimal solution here.


They suggest this for inline using combination of the code back tick and dollar syntaxes:

Inline math: $`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`$.
