If you appreciate when keyboard interaction gets added to a GUI, then you might think of a graphical language as the opposite, as it essentially removes keyboard interaction from what is normally a text-based system.

Not based on an official Blockly implementation. But you can add keyboard navigation to Blockly(-like) scripting reasonably easily:

The video above shows keyboard, but the main motivation for the key-based navigation was actually gamepad.

Snap does have a limited keyboard mode (shift click), but it's not really as good as "real" IDE.

Neat. Doesn't work well in android Firefox for me.

Yeah I haven't been able to get it to perform smoothly in mobile firefox. It works well in mobile chrome or any desktop browser but mobile firefox specifically has been an issue I haven't had much luck resolving yet. Sorry about that! I use mobile FF too so I'd love to figure out the cause.

This should be fixed now.

Thanks!

Another suggestion: more feedback when two pieces click together - I'm currently dragging it around to check if they're connected. For example, they could lose the outline that separates them, or change outline color to be the same.

No, because it doesn't make sense to experience it in that context. I think of it as more like poetry . For example: https://www.norvig.com/spell-correct.html

Clearly the classic of polyhedral globes

My personal favorite is Authagraph, when folded they make a really neat looking shape. I bought one years ago at a paper store and it’s still standing.

Not that I disagree, but I think this is how many people feel about AI output in fields they care about.

It's also a funny historical mirror to an earlier phase of math proof culture: in a previous era, cryptic result dumps were quite common.

Aluminum chain mail!

These look nice. I met someone with juggling balls made of aluminum chain mail, I immediately thought it was the best material for the purpose. She said she made them herself, then shared the instructions with me. It was a great COVID project. Now I have three juggling balls, and a bunch of leftover rings that I use occasionally for small repair and mounting tasks.

Right, 100 trucks delivering 100 single items to 100 homes, or 100 consumers each making 1 trip to buy 100 things. It really depends on the details too much to simplify it so far.

It is more like 1 truck delivering 100 single items to 100 homes.

With there typically being a free shipping minimum (or a relatively fixed shipping cost for daily goods), it seems like the benefits of the 1 truck model are likely even greater as customers are explicitly encouraged to group purchases together.

Well, maybe more than one truck.

One truck per delivery service

Multiple times a week.

For the aforementioned 100 homes, if the 100-items-in-1-truck are needed multiple times per week, then the 100-items-in-100-cars are likely also needed multiple times per week, so the extra CO2 etc would be even worse.

Just anecdotally, I think the typical Costco trip is alongside trips someone would have taken already.

Go to work, take a 5 minute detour to stop by Costco for your prescriptions, gas, and groceries on the way back

As a non-American, all of these threads are utterly fascinating.

I suggested it to my young kids and it became an instant favorite.

Do you experience many "life challenges" at work?
