  • Look at it from the corporation's viewpoint:

    - they have a finite production capacity

    - they have a finite warehousing capacity

    - there is a certain number of sets which will be bought

    - crates of bricks without an established design have a limited appeal and while a consistent SKU, don't have the baked in demand a new set will have

  • Curious how this might have played out over the long-term with their licensed/abandoned/revived/then bought to kill permanently "Modulex":

    I wish one of their competitors would take up this dimension standard --- it would be a lot more useful for making structures which interact across dimensions/rotations.

  • Nice! Reminds me a bit of "WordWeb" which is still around:

    https://wordweb.info/free/

    which also uses WordNet:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordNet

    (which this is also using)

    which was developed by Princeton w/ DARPA money as an early investigation into AI and so forth.

  • Agreed.

    A better solution would be to adjust the sizing/placement of the window controls (and allow the hit area to include the original placement maybe?).

  • The thing which killed me is this is one of the things Windows 10 got _right_ (well, took the path of least resistance) with square corners which made screen grabs look good/work more easily --- I run a utility to get them back in Windows 11 (and have seriously contemplated investigating if removing the glass from my laptop screen and scraping away the paint which obscures the corners is an option to get those pixels back....)

    Used to be this sort of thing "just worked" on Mac OS --- you'd think with a diminishing number of UI tool kits/dev tools this sort of thing would get better/more consistent.... always liked "Themes" and this just gives me one more reason to wish that they would come back.
