Frames is a collection of stories

In anticipation of the World Cup, we sent the magazine’s contributing illustrator, Christoph Niemann, to Brazil in search of the soul of soccer. What he found instead is a curse that still hangs over the country, decades after the highly favored home team lost in the final game of the 1950 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. In this animated storybook, Niemann meets this curse — and befriends him — and does his part to unmake that goal that has haunted Brazil for 64 years.

CriticMarkup is a way for authors and editors to track changes to documents in plain text. As with Markdown, small groups of distinctive characters allow you to highlight insertions, deletions, substitutions and comments, all without the overhead of heavy, proprietary office suites.

One tragic number is known: 22 veterans kill themselves every day.

This summer, I packed up all my things and moved from San Francisco to Guangzhou, China for work. Through an unlikely chain of coincidences that I don’t entirely recall, I’ve become a product manager on WeChat, a popular messaging app in China.

Moving to a new country has meant learning how to do lots of things differently: speaking a new language, eating, shopping, getting around. In a few months, I’m surprised at how acclimated I’ve become to what, at first, seemed such an overwhelmingly alien place.

This has applied to my digital life too. I’ve replaced all my apps with those used here, owning both to my keen interest as someone in the tech industry, and to “go native” to the extent I can. Since then, I’ve similarly become blind to the adaptations required there, too.

One day, for the fun of it, I started writing a list in my notebook of all the things that are different between apps here and those I’m accustomed to using and creating back in the US. When I finished, I was surprised by how long the list was, so it seemed fitting to flesh it out into a post.

Search the world's architecture & the products behind it.

"Но «лонгформ» — смешное слово. Никто же не говорит: «Хочу почитать что-нибудь длинное». Говорят: «Хочу глубокое»."

“It doesn’t matter where it’s placed as long as it’s there.” This is how many who don’t understand user experience think about buttons. In UX, every detail matters, especially button placement.
Buttons work like door knobs. People wouldn’t be able to use doors efficiently if door knobs weren’t placed in a consistent area. But because they are, everyone with a hand can walk through doors without much thought. The placement standard of door knobs across doors creates an unconscious habit in people.

Lumos Labs is a neuroscience research company and creator of Lumosity, the leading online brain training program boasting over 60 million users worldwide. When I joined Lumos Labs, Lumosity was undergoing a major brand and design overhaul. The old Lumosity brand was warm, friendly and communicated their core purpose well. Yet their products felt dated, lacked authority and were inconsistent in style and imagery. Lumosity needed a fresh update that felt more modern, sophisticated, and trustworthy.

These are the ones you've got to have.

Macros are the Twig version of functions. Just like you would write a function in PHP to do something and return something, you can use a Twig macro to generate some output.
Macros are used for generating often used markup that might vary slightly each time. You put your skeleton markup in the macro and use parameters passed in to alter that markup and then output it.

Timber helps you create fully-customized WordPress themes faster with more sustainable code. With Timber, you write your HTML using the Twig Template Engine separate from your PHP files.

Statamic is an amazingly simple piece of software. The major benefit to using Statamic is the lack of a database, which has huge positive implications for both security and speed. Since there's no database to query, theres no database to slow it down; and, since there's no database, there's also no database to hack. You can also throw the entire system into version control, which becomes a much more complex process when a database is involved.

Гер­рит Но­ор­дзей — вы­да­ю­щий­ся гол­ланд­ский шриф­то­вой ди­зай­нер, ти­по­граф, те­о­ре­тик и пе­да­гог. С 1960 по 1990 год ру­ко­во­дил кур­сом шриф­то­во­го ди­зай­на в Ко­ро­лев­ской ака­де­мии ис­кусств в Га­а­ге. В кни­ге «Штрих. Те­о­рия пись­ма» сум­ми­ро­ва­ны ре­зуль­та­ты прак­ти­че­ских за­ня­тий Но­ор­дзея и его уче­ни­ков в ака­де­мии. Зна­ме­ни­тая те­о­рия пись­ма охва­ты­ва­ет ряд важ­ных для шриф­то­во­го ди­зай­на по­сту­ла­тов — от по­ня­тия бе­ло­го про­стран­ства в сло­ве до по­дроб­но­го раз­бо­ра дви­же­ния штри­ха с ма­те­ма­ти­че­ской точ­ки зре­ния. Впер­вые опуб­ли­ко­ван­ная в 1985 го­ду в Ни­дер­лан­дах, кни­га бы­ла пе­ре­ра­бо­та­на ав­то­ром в 2005 го­ду и с тех пор пе­ре­ве­де­на на ан­глий­ский, фран­цуз­ский, ита­льян­ский, ис­пан­ский и дру­гие язы­ки. В 2013 го­ду кни­га вы­шла в пе­ре­во­де Ири­ны Смир­но­вой в из­да­тель­стве Дмит­рия Аро­но­ва. С его лю­без­но­го со­гла­сия мы пуб­ли­ку­ем фраг­мент из кни­ги — пер­вую гла­ву «Бе­лое про­стран­ство в сло­ве».

We all know the symbol with a vertical line in a circle: it dentifies the On/Off power switch. It occurred to me that this familiar symbol is evolving in a bizarre fashion.

Why Twig documentation recommends to use extending rather than including? Symfony 2 documentation says because "In Symfony2, we like to think about this problem differently: a template can be decorated by another one." but nothing more. It's just author's whim or something more? Thanks for help.
