Translucent user interfaces is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. Aside from movie visual effect trickery, it started out in Mac OS X's Aqua, followed by Windows Vista's Aero, followed by (then) OS X's Vibrancy, followed by Windows 10's Acrylic. Over time, more and more of the user interface has become translucent similar to foggy/privacy-preserving sheets of glass. The unstated goal has always been to "look cool". The stated goal has always been to "give more pixels to your content"

MIT engineers use 3D-printed steel to repair corroded bridge

techspot.com Shawn Knight 2026-03-06 15:10:00

The big picture: According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, more than half of the 623,218 bridges in the US are in a state of significant deterioration. Getting them back in good standing would cost north of $191 billion – no small chunk of change. For researchers at MIT, finding a more cost-effective solution using modern technology is a worthy cause.

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-19 07:44:58

Apple's introduction of Liquid Glass at WWDC 2025 represents far more than a visual refresh. It's a calculated strategic repositioning that reveals how the company thinks about the next decade of human-computer interaction. While the design community debates readability and the tech press focuses on the absence of major AI announcements, Apple is quietly executing a playbook that should feel familiar to anyone who remembers the iPhone's introduction: prepare users for a paradigm shift by making

Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

wired.com John Voelcker 2026-03-23 05:00:00

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV

news.ycombinator.com Electronics Etc... 2026-03-19 22:51:27

I shouldn’t be subscribed to their email list but I am, and that’s one way I end up with more stuff that I don’t really need. During a recent auction, I got my hands on a Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ, an I/Q modulation generator, for a grand total of $45. Add to that another 30% for the auction fee and taxes and you’re still paying much less than what others would pay for a round of golf? But i
