How exactly does a bug in a background process, which then executes within the same thermal performance limits as any other demanding task, present a safety issue? Product quality? Sure. Safety? How?

This might be the one reason that makes the F2P Sim City worth mentioning, in which where I’ve found it much more challenging to achieve aesthetics while growing at a reasonable pace. Having grown up with the original Sim City series, I nat

Fascinating. I didn’t know that comments like that were a common dynamic. That sounds like framework holy war nonsense. Sorry to hear that such problems come with working on cool stuff like this. To me React always evokes the simplicity of

This makes sense to me as a motivation for the disclaimer, thanks for that perspective. I did feel that the yellow warning sign was a bit much. There was also a line about it not being for designers. As somebody with both design and enginee

Fantastic read! Not to diminish the original contribution here, but I got curious and started looking for similar projects on the native (in my case iOS / Metal) side that aren't part of the usual suspects like game engines. These

Spent some time (slightly) re-abstracting a bunch of code yesterday. I started that particular project trying to follow some of the anti-abstraction gospel that came up on HN in the past months. Expecting new people to join the effort somet

Given that the Chase link asks for your Social Security Number, this page could be a good test of those Google phishing lessons from a post earlier today. More constructively, though, I wouldn’t mind a service that does this for me in perpe

In analyses like these, one thing often gets lost: interfaces are a product of their specific time, not just of a linear evolutionary process confined to the type of product being discussed. No product exists in a timeless state, yet retros

It does seem like it is absent from Beta 3. In Beta 1, I had added it to Control Center but at some point in time since then (Beta 2/3) it was removed, it seems. Not exactly a promising sign. Edit: it seems that the feature only appear

If one wanted to build a barebones SU replacement, what would be a good approach to get an index of random pages these days? (Or is there an underreported replacement out there somewhere?)

I’ve found that custom molded in-ear hearing protection combined with industrial ear muffs is the closest I can get to drowning out nearby conversations (including loud ones) without requiring a layer of music on top or bothering with headp

In addition to what other people have mentioned, there is an interesting section half way into the article regarding the history that lead to this high density of quality in a comparatively small town. Apparently the owners of two competing

The article fails to mention that this significantly surpasses the most commonly repeated estimate of 6M (made by Piper Jaffray). Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57603553-37/apple-expected...

Nice attention to detail in this. By the way, it seems like the new view's shadow in the original actually loses opacity as that view leaves the screen. Did you look around for the blur effect at all? You mentioned it but any luck beyo

Very interesting. I will give this a try. I've been a fan of Meteor for a while and have worked with both Ember and Angular. I usually end up longing for certain aspects of Meteor in both of those frameworks.

Unsure what the Chrome support is like for 10.6 but current Chrome has WebGL enabled by default. In Safari, you can manually enable it through Preferences>Advanced>Show develop menu in menu bar. Then check "Enable WebGL" in

My thoughts exactly. And we see articles on this kind of strategy on HN all the time. Typically they get a bunch of positive, "I like this in the abstract realm/will try this in the future"-type feedback. So I am a little sur

"Corporate and inviting" must have been the precursor to those fake processor plant campaigns they did back in the day. Those really made me feel like this company was a warm, loving bunch.

"Dumb" scaling and lack of flow have been painful for a while and it certainly can't hurt to hear some arguments against them. However, the skeuo-flat wars' inclusion is oversimplified and seems like it stems from a mark

I haven't actually seen any decent benchmarks between those systems as a whole. Most comparisons seem to shy away from that (between some candidates it probably doesn't make sense to benchmark anyways). But if you've seen any
