    If plus was ⤚ (U+291A RIGHTWARDS ARROW-TAIL) meaning 2 lines coming together and then being 1 line that’s twice as long [or twice as thick], that would be intuitive to me for adding.

    I can’t think of an intuitive sign for minus, maybe something with empty space in it?







  • Maybe it’s time. E.g. waiting for IT to walk over or remote in, or doing something slower because the user is explaining what they’re doing.

    I find that waiting for the click to have a result makes some problems not appear, vs. the user double/right clicking something 6 times because they don’t want to wait. Me waiting for the OS to finish loading everything, vs. the user clicking something 6 times while services or even UI elements are still loading.

    The article says the attacker was bald, and later evidence found him to be part of the “antideutsch scene”, “an outgrowth of the German far-left whose rejection of German nationalism has translated into explicit pro-Israel and pro-American views”.

    I don’t think that makes him a Nazi. He could be, but the article doesn’t say that, or that he’s a skinhead,
