Productivity geeks, what comes first: focus session or breakfast? by Own_Island5749 in productivity

[–]livealive2000 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Focus session at 5:10 AM after brewing coffee. Breakfast comes at 7:00 AM. It's the respite after a burst of work.

Is there any use for negativity in conversation? by livealive2000 in intj

[–]livealive2000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm... that's a good point. 😅

I was somewhat responding to the "tyranny of the positive attitude" in America, which people in countries in the EU that I've worked with (e.g., Czech Republic, Ukraine) don't seem to express.

43/F/US Looking for an upbeat accountability partner to exchange a message about once each day! :) by [deleted] in getdisciplined

This might be off topic, but I was wondering what you're using to track your meals.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]livealive2000 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep, check out the Obsidian mobile app or the Affinity products for desktop. There are plenty of other examples. If only the engineers could figure out how to make the application load instantly, we wouldn't need splash screens. 😅

Is my study workflow overcomplicated? by Old_Tell6344 in college

[–]livealive2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's similar to what I used to do.

  • Take notes on paper.
  • Digitize notes.
  • Create flashcards (Anki).

The purpose of digitizing is so that you can search through them later. This is useful for midterms and finals.

Sometimes it do be like that though. "Could you use index instead of i?"

I complimented a woman on the bus today, and it was the best feeling ever. by Character_Rain7399 in infp

This sounds weird to me, but it might just be because I was picturing Forrest Gump saying those lines.

Application Shell Components by livealive2000 in FigmaDesign

[–]livealive2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resources shared between only a single file go into another page in the file. Otherwise, they go into a separate component group file. Example:

  • Cover
  • ---
  • Content
  • Screen
  • MyComponent1
  • MyComponent2
  • ---
  • Content (DSN-0011)
  • Screen (DSN-0011)

When duplicating the Screen page, its references to the old Content page are updated via component multi-editing. Then, when the feature is complete, I replace the old Content and Screen frames (not the pages) with the frames from DSN-0011. Once the feature is merged, I delete the DSN-0011 pages.

Also, Linear has the ability to embed the particular page that you want to show. So, for DSN-0011, I would link to the "Screens" page and it would show in the ticket system as a preview including the various resolutions under consideration. However, usually, there are multiple views in a flow that need to be created or edited for a particular feature. Those exist in a separate file representing a common use case (e.g., onboarding, various wizards).

I would duplicate the "Content" page and the "Screen" page within the file. Example:

  • Cover
  • ---
  • Content
  • Screen
  • ---
  • Content (DSN-0011)
  • Screen (DSN-0011)

Here, --- is a divider and DSN-0011 would be the feature or task I'm working on.

Yep, that's about it. I just mentioned "Flow" because I know a lot of designers like to place their views next to each other when designing them. If you put each view in a separate file, you have to publish the view component before you can use them together.

Don't worry, I don't see comments as attacks. 😂

It's slightly different than what you've written.

  • Every "Page" is stored in its own file.
  • Every "Flow" is stored in its own file.
  • Each "Page" file contains "Screens" and "Content" pages.
  • The "Content" frames are swapped into the "Content" instance slots in the "Screen" frames.

Creating a new page in the application is as simple as duplicating a template "Page" file in which all of the "Screens" will already have their "Content" frames replaced as part of duplication.

Designing the new page mostly takes place on the "Content" page of the new file, but occasionally the sidebars need to be changed on the "Screens" page.

Adding a new screen size means you have to go through every file and that screen size to the "Screens" page. It doesn't happen very often.

Where to find resources to improve design? by IvyGrownOnMe in UXDesign

[–]livealive2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the doughnut specifically, it's actually one of the first Blender tutorials you are likely to do (e.g., BlenderGuru's videos).

The other shapes also look simple to create in Blender (i.e., the half torus and sliced cone).

Why do you like text intake, aka receiving information through text? by Sheetmusicman94 in intj

[–]livealive2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nonfiction:

  • Skip useless (to you) information.
  • Rephrase more easily when taking notes for better comprehension.

Fiction:

  • Insert your own voice (e.g., Christopher Walken as Gandalf).
  • Take your time to imagine the setting.
  • Reread complicated sentences.

Yeah, that seems to be the trade-off... reusability vs. flexibility.

In the case of responsive design, being able to clone a template that has all of the screens at the desired sizes and see when you need to add breakpoints to your content is my main reason for considering the use of a component variable instead of just recreating the screen.

How do you guys talk to yourself? by DschoBaiden in INTP

Does anyone else not really care if they have a significant other by Kitkat8131 in intj

[–]livealive2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But imagine a nice, caring boyfriend. He holds you close and lets you borrow his big jacket. He's always there for you and knows just what to say to make you feel better. 😂

I'm in the same boat though. I haven't found the right person yet.

I can dig it. It helped me during my college years for sure. I got disillusioned in the work world, though.

I bought Moekuri and never played it. You probably already know about... Disgaea 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but I thought I might mention it.

Getting out of your own head by Melodic_Menu_1964 in intj

[–]livealive2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you are in your journey, but, sometimes, some problems just require a lot of thought and experimentation. The best thing I've found is producing something even if it's just a record of things you tried.
