From Fatih Arslan:

I looked into how it was done earlier. If you want to see how type specimens looked across different periods, there are some great examples online. The 1882 Bruce’s New-York Type-Foundry specimen book on Archive.org is a beautiful old example of how foundries presented their typefaces to printers:

This blog post is very long and almost entirely about the 1974 bestseller Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. It is also about AI—there will be some juicy takes, pinky swear—but those familiar with ZAMM should consider themselves warned.

In this video, I will show you how to build exterior deck stairs from start to finish.

First, I'll show you how to calculate your stair stringer cuts so that the treads, risers, and overall staircase fits perfectly.

Next, I'll show you how to cut your stair stringers out of a 2"x12" piece of pressure treated lumber. I will also show you a few little secrets that will make your exterior stairs last 5X longer!

Once the stair stringers are cut, I will show you my method for attaching the stair stringers to the deck. I will also show you how to anchor the stairs to the concrete landing. And if you don't have a concrete stair landing, don't worry! I will show you how to build a concrete stair landing in this video.

Next, I will show you how to install the stair risers and treads.

And finally, I will show you how to trim out the stairs so that you get a high-end and professional looking result!

Principle #1: Good design works for everyone

There are many reasons for this principle but my favourite is that designing for a minority makes things better for everyone.

• Large radio buttons don’t just help people with motor impairments; everyone finds them easier to click

Principle #2: Good design makes things obvious

Principle #3: Good design puts users in control

Expect users to get interrupted. People prefer to interact in different ways. And we should design for both an idealised work flow as well as when things don’t go to plan.

Principle #4: Good design is lightweight
