Talks about her upcoming blogpost. It will be about the perception of the value of UX Designers work.How to keep up with the speed of change? There is a misunderstanding what UX design is. They often have to explain what they do and what their value is. There is often a misunderstanding between UX Designers and Developers. Soon to come on Medium.

For the sound demos: The spatial effect works best with headphones.

Raphaëlwe never gonna give up latex! why having it easy, when u can have the pain of setting things up for a day for one symbol :)
Ramin You can keep using Latex all you want. It’s still nice to be able to translate this gibberish to something usable :P
*I’m still waiting for hardcore Latex/math equation art. maybe with this lib
- Ha ha ha. I don’t think that’s the point of the repo though. It’s just a cheat sheet, not a conversion lib.
*Is it standard to add new content to the bottom of stuff to see/read list? - We never agreed on a standard. I think everyone is doing what they want… ANARCHY!
NICCCEEE. Lets remove this to the point of… well no. ANARCHY. cya friday
*Yo!
JRGoing the other way, there is a nice little library in MIT’s scmutils that converts physics equations writtin in scheme into LaTeX for typesetting.
