Подскраливается

Я услышал такое слово и понял, что есть в русском языке явление, которое я совершенно не понимаю.

Иногда в корне прямо под ударением „о“ может меняться на „а“ или даже наоборот. Есть стандартные случаи чередования гласных в корне типа гар-гор, это понятно. Но есть и слова, в которых это происходит помимо всяких правил, например «кончить» — «заканчивать», «трогать» — «затрагивать». В этих случаях ясно, что так правильно. А говорят же ещё «уполномачивать» или «обезбаливающее». Какое нахрен обезбаливающее, проверочное слово — «боль»! Но ведь возразят, что что-то может «побаливать», и тут снова нет сомнений: может. Однако я точно знаю, «подскраливаться» ничто никуда не может, только «подскроливаться»! Из превращений в обратную сторону приходит в голову только слово «уплочено».

Все эти примеры наводят на мысль, что есть какое-то более фундаментальное...

Обводка по границе контура

Одна из тупых особенностей многих векторных редакторов — что обводку открытого контура можно сделать только по его центру.

Вот был у нас кружок, у него была выбрана обводка внутри. А потом мы отрезаем половину — и обводка слетает и оказывается уже не внутри, а по центру. В нуле случаев в жизни это является желательным или ожидаемым поведением. Понятно, что для открытого контура неясно, что значит «внутри» и «снаружи», но так никто и не требует эту терминологию использовать. Пусть оно превращается в «сторона А» и «сторона Б», если что.

Более того, даже если контур никогда и не был замкнутым, обвести его с одной какой-то стороны часто бывает более удобно, чем посередине, и сейчас ради этого приходится кучу препятствий преодолевать, а можно было бы просто выбрать сторону в выпадаечке и не знать забот. Конкретно в Фигме отдельная...

Garden Terrace by Edition Office

Set on the northern bank of the Birrarung in Melbourne’s inner east (Kew), Garden Terrace by Edition Office is a house shaped as much by atmosphere as it is by site. Elevated above a floodplain and immersed in a dense riverside setting, the home moves away from the usual idea of a suburban residence and into something quieter, more elemental, more connected to landscape than object. Its presence is strong, though never overbearing. What stands out is not a desire to dominate the setting, but to disappear into it over time.

The approach is central to the experience. Raised on monumental...

People’s, New York: Greenwich Village

In a city obsessed with access, People’s offers a more interesting kind of exclusivity. The Greenwich Village bar, lounge, gallery and restaurant has no membership fees, no applications and no performative struggle for a reservation online. Instead, entry works by referral, quietly building a community rather than broadcasting scarcity. That distinction is what makes it feel relevant. Less like a velvet-rope fantasy, more like a carefully protected social ecosystem.

Opened by Margot Hauer-King and Emmet McDermott, People’s was conceived as an antidote to the hyper-visible, social media-wired machinery of New York nightlife. It is a place designed for actual evenings, not...

Nervous System collaborates with scientists to create 3D bioprinted liver in ARPA-H award

Nervous System is part of a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers which recently received an award of up to $28.5 million to create a functional 3D bioprinted liver for people with acute liver failure from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)  Personalized Regenerative Immunocompetent Nanotechnology Tissue (PRINT) program.

Peridot, Hong Kong: A Gem-Toned Sky Bar by Studio Paolo Ferrari

Perched high above Hong Kong’s financial district, Peridot is the kind of bar that leans into theatre without turning into a theme. It sits on the 38th floor of The Henderson, the new sculptural tower by Zaha Hadid Architects, and it takes the “sky bar” idea somewhere more cinematic, more enveloping, more emotionally tuned.

The interiors are by Studio Paolo Ferrari, led by founder and principal Paolo Ferrari, a designer who talks about bars the way directors talk about scenes. His reference points are telling, places where you do not only drink, you watch, you listen, you absorb the choreography of...

Bloom of the Month: Hellebores

While shopping my local garden center I stopped short when I spied an entire shipment of hellebores in all different varieties that had just arrived. I’ve long admired these blooms but hadn’t purchased any for my garden in the past. I couldn’t resist their allure, bought two plants, and promptly planted in them in pots when I got home. In the fall, I’ll move them into the ground.

These magical cup shaped blooms belong to a special club. Hellebores bloom in winter which increases their appeal because their blossoms arrive long before other perennials bloom in spring.

Often called Lenten roses, or...

The Art of Recycled Lampshade Design in Miniforms’ Rificolona
