Grid is a powerful, flexible tool that brings complex layouts to life. While it’s not new, and has been around for eight years, there’s so much to learn that it can still feel confusing and overwhelming to work with. What’s the right mental model for thinking about Grid? What do all the new terms…

A Number That Always Returns the Same Thing Today we’ll look at the NaN type, which in JavaScript is identified as type number. We get the type number in response. Since something is a number, logic suggests we can perform mathematical operations on it. So let’s try adding something to it or…

[박미숙의 새필드] 대중 문화를 연구한 필자가 미디어에 비친 세상을 이야기합니다. 오늘 추가할 새 필드는 수전 손택의 ‘여자에 관하여’와 ‘은유로서의 질병’ 그리고 ‘마스크걸’과 ‘서브스턴스’ (⌚7분) 젊은 날의 손택, 그리고 중년의 나 나는 스무 살 무렵의 나를 기억한다. 수전 손택(Susan Sontag)의 『해석에 반대한다』를 들고 카페에 앉아, 마치 지적 여성의 초상이라도 된 듯한 착각에 빠졌던 시절이다. 그때의 나는 “여자이기 이전에 지성인이 되고 싶다”고 믿었고, 손택의 냉철한 문장을 인생의 지침처럼 외웠다. 그러나…

Ask most specialty coffee people what they think about Italian espresso, and you’ll get the same answer: too dark, burnt, bitter, stuck in the past.

Key-Value 스토리지(KV 스토리지)의 탄생 2000년대 이후 웹 2.0 시대가 오면서 웹서비스 업체들은 엄청난 사용자 수를 감당해야 하는 상황에 직면했습니다. 이 엄청난 트래픽을 감당하기 위해서 더 이상 크고 아름다운 서버가 아닌, 작지만 저렴한 대규모 분산 시스템이 필요해졌습니다. 다행히 프로필 정보 가져오기(userid = 1234), 캐시, 세션 저장(key-value) 같이 대부분의 데이터 구조는 단순한 형태였습니다. 이런 데이터를 처리하기에 기존 관계형 데이터베이스(RDBMS)는 너무 무겁고, 비싸고, 복잡한…

50년도 더 된 일이다. 1971년 환경 심리학자 로저 울리히 박사는 미국 펜실바니아주 한 병원에서 담낭 제거 수술을 받은 환자들을 관찰하다 흥미로운 사실을 발견했다. 창밖으로 울창한 나무가 보이는 쪽에 있던 환자들이 딱딱한 벽돌 담장만 보이는 쪽 환자들보다 회복 속도가 빠르다는 사실이다. 실제로 그들은 24시간 정도 먼저 퇴원했다. 진통제도 덜 찾고, 간호사들의 간호 기록에도 보다 긍정적인 상태로 묘사됐다. 이 연구는 국제 학술지 ‘사이언스(Science)’에 실렸지만, 근본적인 원인은 명확히 밝혀지지 않았다. 단지 아름다운…
