I would be very surprised if there were ever a version of CANVAS or WEBGL that didn't have alpha compositing. Sounds like the product of an extremely disparaging imagination.

Really? the only place you wouldn't find that is in Assembly language on baremetal. Even C has platform libraries and system calls. I haven't seen a more dithered and inconsistent "hodge podge" than when trying to get so

1. Adobe is/was on the standards groups and stnadardised all the photoshop blend modes into browsers a long long time ago. 2. Alpha composition? Are you sure that's what you mean? we've had that universally in browsers since

this seems like it's very similar to http://metaflow.fr is there any relation, or is this a name collision?

isn't it also the convention not to bicker about the rules in the comments?

yep, eniac and univac were the the first publicly known computers. it became known later that turing’s work predated eniac.

That makes sense, "left" trimming rtl text could be confusing.

perhaps you could preprocess the shape using the Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) algorithm. there’s a step in the algorithm that finds polygons that would cause z-sorting conflict and splits them along the exact line you need to resolve the

I've never had an issue working with promises, but perhaps I'll have to give that a try to see if it would make my life better.

Tired of what shit exactly, though? typing the word "function"?, hacky workarounds to traditional "classy" style programming? Having to learn what deprecated features to avoid? Is it asynchronous programming? ES6 is nice

"Today, it’s nearly impossible to build for the web without using a bundler like Webpack." Is it? I've gotten by just fine, and webpack is a pretty all or nothing approach. Did everyone just forget how things were done before

I'm just an ignorant nobody, but why would you split a microservice off along a facet that would require transaction and referential integraty? Wouldn't you want to pick off pieces that could be truly independent and not need to c

I guess, whatever a Kafka cluster does, that's how you do it.

The architecture obligates you to the "eventually consistent" model. If that's not good enough, you should probably look at other approaches. Disclaimer: I'm just an avid reader, not an experienced implementor.

It seems to be one of those things that you probably don't need. And when you do need it, it becomes obvious that you need it. Specifically, in my research, you really shouldn't use it until it becomes painfully necessary to horiz

Having it clear not just in your own head, but your entire team's head what an event is, quite important, especially to keep in mind what happens when you "play back" a log. Do transactional emails get sent out again? Do upst

I think calling it an architecture is a bit strong. Isn't it more like a pattern that you can use for some of the connective lines in an architecture? Reading through this, it seems a lot of the pitfalls come from neglecting the arch
