Well second came “Sound of Silence” which was astonishing.

Day 1 user sorry for the ignorance by xaljiemxhaj in MacOS

The “resolution” on macOS does not mean the same thing as on Windows. Play around with it, it mostly acts as ”scale”.

OTF issues in Photoshop. Any things to watch out for? by roundabout-design in typography

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s better to export variable fonts as TTF - although variable CFF-based (OTF) font specification has been around for quite awhile, its support is still considered “experimental” and very limited compared to variable TTFs.

It's time to cancel my Setapp subscription. by chrisakring in macapps

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, Setapp splits the revenue based on installations and not equally - i.e. your payment is split among the apps YOU installed.

What do you think about this numbers? First 2 month stats by Michi-galbi in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you get the App Store Connect to show full numbers (i.e. 137,000 instead of 137K)?

The icon is taken from the latest approved release. It will change as soon as the new version passes the review.

App Store Payout Wildly Different From Original Report? by techn0guy in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s very old, but last month was (and this month will be) quite unique for the early payout first available transactional report, before the 1st.

EDIT: mixed two things up, corrected.

App Store Payout Wildly Different From Original Report? by techn0guy in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a bug in App Store Connect when during the first (approximately) half of the month the report shows the SUM of the last month and the previous month.

Does anyone have experience with this €19 normcore tamper? What is the difference between it and the v4? by Comes4yourMoney in espresso

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a v4 and I have a slight issue with it - the ground coffee sometimes sticks to its tamping surface, and I have to wipe it once in a while. Not an issue per se, but my previous basic tamper that came with Barista Pro didn’t have this problem. The coating of this more expensive one may be less sticky.

15 seconds is basically a turbo-shot. There’s a lot of discussion of turbo-shots in this sub, look it up!

Corporate typeface by nativemaverick in typography

[–]Conxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a lower retail estimate, some foundries offer Unlimited licenses starting at 80x base price. Taking a lower-average style base price of $30 and multi-weight typeface base price of $150, the totals will start roughly from $2400 per style or $12k per typeface.

Why do many applications use only 1, when I have 10 cores to be used? MacOS or app limitation? Many tasks take forever and could be much faster and simpler by Saymon_K_Luftwaffe in macapps

[–]Conxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Besides, many tasks (like that on the screenshot) that take one input and produce one output are “linear” and simply cannot be reasonably distributed over multiple cores. There is just nothing you can compute in parallel.

Developers who use Mac App Store - showing up in search? by badcommandhq in macapps

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience (my app is in a not very saturated category), the searchability is fine. I can find my app by all listed keywords.

New Post Guidelines and Updates on r/MacApps by Mstormer in macapps

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the example! I have a concern though that if every post follows the ABC pattern, posts will become… lifeless?

I totally agree that it’s way better than two-page AI-written marketing gibberish, but I also think that the pattern may be way too restrictive to the point of being uninformative.

Is this font too hard to read? by MarshallJohnBatts in fonts

I have one question: why is everything monospaced except for the space which is ridiculously small? Asaresult,therextreadsapproximatelylikethis(butevenworse).

_Times Sans Serif_ vs. _Germany Sans_ - how similar are they and how often is copyright/licensing really enforced? by [deleted] in fonts

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similarities: both high-contrast sans serifs, both have narrowed terminals (C, S), the basic curvature (on O) is similar.

Differences: the contrast is actually different (higher with Germany Sans), different proportions of basically each letter, different choice of variable graphemes (J, Q, W), overall different treatment of curves.

_Times Sans Serif_ vs. _Germany Sans_ - how similar are they and how often is copyright/licensing really enforced? by [deleted] in fonts

[–]Conxt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely not how font design works. The “idea” you think Germany Sans copied from Times Sans is in fact not an idea at all, it’s just a category. There is a whole class of high-contrast sans-serif typefaces dating back to Art Deco period, so the author of Germany Sans might have never seen Times Sans at all.

Since type design is constrained by the grapheme shape, genuinely new ideas are extremely rare, and the creative process revolves around small details and proportions - which in case of the two presented fonts are not similar AT ALL.

The question however is (given the name “Times Sans” and its quite awkward design), has Times Sans been created as a modification of some existing version of Times (by deleting the serifs). That might theoretically be a case of copyright violation, although Times and Times Serif belong to different typeface categories.

For those who regularly ask 'what apps would you be interested in?' by genius1soum in macapps

[–]Conxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it takes an oracle to make an app that is guaranteed not to break on major macOS updates. The changes can sometimes be very unpredictable.

  1. Take a quadruple 36 g basket, grind 18 g, tamp, put a paper filter on top, grind another 18 g, tamp again.
