The concept of the knife is interesting. I could see myself buying one if I had that much money lying around.
Maybe if the home chef who needs a leg up sees this it would prevent them from spending that much or more on more expensive knives and maintenance products. For those of us who know our way around the kitchen I’m not sure how much benefit I would get out of it.
Also did anyone think some of the cutting segments, particularly the radish, seemed sped up? The movement of the blade and hand looked a bit unnatural.
But users can grow accustomed to what an icon means over time right? It happened with the floppy disk icon, the notification bell, open folder, etc. If you start it out as [icon][description] for the first few iterations wouldn't the user eventually learn to associate the icon for the action?

Only if you use the same program all the time, and only if that program never changes.
I use Adobe Illustrator a couple of times a year. There's no way I'm going to remember how to do very much from the ten minutes I used it in March to the next time I need it in October. And by then, the process is likely to have changed because the program got auto-updated by the Almighty Cloud™.
I can only learn colorful icons. B&W ones I cannot recognize even after a long time. E.g. right now I'm looking at my opera sidebar and cannot quickly decide which icon is history. Much easier to open O-menu and navigate from there, which is what I always do to erase that last hour. Same for downloads - I know where they are at the top-right corner and I click "Show more" there instead. Can't find it in sidebar without thinking twice.
Btw, I have no trouble using Paint.NET. I just made a screenshot of its UI and turned B&W. Icons instantly became less discernible, and that still with correct shades of grey. If they were this modern outline-abstract bullshit, I couldn't use it at all and would look for an alternative.
That only works if icons remain consistent and reasonably detailed over long periods of time. Nowadays all icons are abstract, monochrome shapes. They are similar enough to each other, and vary enough from one application to another, that one application's "back" or "new" buttons can look pretty similar to another's "undo" or "copy" buttons. With most apps on my phone I have no idea what the buttons do unless I press them, even if I'm perfectly familiar with the function.
For better or worse, the web (and now all the various portable devices we carry around) introduced users to all manner of user interfaces. I think we're a little more flexible now. Or are we a little haggard?
Anyone on an iOS device using Reddit that doesn't have this application is missing out.
I've said it before, but old.reddit.com and Apollo are the only methods I use to browse the site. If either dies or the API becomes private/non-existent then I'm out.
So long as they keep the API available for apps like Apollo then I'm fine. Honestly that's the only way I browse Reddit now, but I can't help but feel weird when the only way to enjoy a site is to use something else entirely to view its content.
My optometrist suggested that about every 20-30 minutes or so I should try and pick out something on the horizon or at least several yards away and focus my eyes on it.
Sitting so close to the screen it makes sense, and the “stretch” you feel when focusing on something close and then far away has really decreased my eye strain.
How does one own/use an iPhone and help mitigate any issues from this? How does one help prevent this kind of sneaky photo crawling? I feel like in order to prevent people from spying on me I have to change _everything_ I do on my phone/computer.
I think that for those of us without busy inboxes it’s not that bad of an experience. The only thing I ask myself is if it’s worth paying for a service such as this if I’m not as busy as other people seem to be.
From my perspective there are only two ways to browse Reddit nowadays: visiting the old.reddit.com site and through a third-party mobile app.
I’m not one to speak either about the changing dynamics on the site since it’s launch, but my experience there as a whole has shifted hard into the direction of carefully curated subreddits. Avoiding anything I don’t want to see is just as easy as never visiting All or Popular.
Adding ".rss" to a subreddit's URL turns it into an RSS feed. I use this to avoid the homepage and ranking by hot/popular, and consume reddit like a normal news feed.
It seems like such a rude thing to feel, but I too struggle with actually taking interest in what my coworkers think. Is this what happens when you begin to see a different generation enter the workforce? I'm not too much older but I'm not their age, so the divide seems to be forming ever so slowly.
