Penumbra - colour scheme
Penumbra - colour scheme
Penumbra is a mathematically balanced colour scheme constructed in a perceptually uniform colour space with base colours inspired by the shades of colour occurring in nature due to the light of the sun and the sky. It cleanly separates the perceptual properties of colours while optimally utilizing the available colour space of typical displays.

Why the Apple logo has a bite out of it
Why the Apple logo has a bite out of it
I forgot where now, but the other day I saw something where someone stated as fact that the Apple logo was a homage to Turing. That didn't feel likely and... seems my gut was right.

The Documentation Triangle (or, why code isn't self documenting)
The Documentation Triangle (or, why code isn't self documenting)
"My code speaks for itself" is the usual gate-keeper kind of nonsense trotted out by people who just can't be arsed to document their stuff but want to sound like they do it because they are so 1337. This blog post, in not very many words, gives a nice explanation as to why that's rather silly.

Open plan offices are terrible for you
Open plan offices are terrible for you
The evidence is overwhelming: open plan offices are absolutely terrible. For everyone. They make employees stressed, decrease team communication, and lower productivity. While there has been a lot of anecdotal evidence on this, recent studies have shown the real impact...

How mindfulness can make you a darker person
How mindfulness can make you a darker person

Mindfulness can be a useful tool, and is rightly suggested as a tool in the toolbox of good mental health. But like all tools it can have its problems if not used correctly.

To quote form the start of the article:

"Mindfulness is thought to have multiple benefits – but it can also make you less likely to feel guilty about wrongdoing and derail your moral compass."

Why is LinkedIn so cringe
Why is LinkedIn so cringe

There's something about LinkedIn that makes it way more cringe (good word for it really) than any other social network I've ever used. But I've never been able to put my finger on what it is I don't like about it.

Fixing a Quest 2 that thinks it's in 2037, using SideQuest
Fixing a Quest 2 that thinks it's in 2037, using SideQuest

By the looks of things update 37 has caused problems for some (including me) where the Quest decides it's in 2037. After that the Wi-Fi connection looks like it has limited Internet and few things that need a connection work well.

The fix, other than a factory reset, is to set the time by hand; which the Quest 2 won't let you do. So... SideQuest to the rescue!

Why logging out via a GET URL is a bad idea
Why logging out via a GET URL is a bad idea
Fun tweet from a while ago now that highlights the fun to be had by having side-effects hanging off a GET rather than a POST; from a time when it more or less still wasn't quite the issue it ended up being.
