"Emulation" usually means reconstructing the hardware of a specific architecture in software (See BSNES for a good example). Rosetta translates binary code of an app from one instruction set to another.

Weirdly, the word "content" for articles or other media seems to actually devalue the content of the piece in lieu of its marketing value. Great stuff. They’ll have to come up with a new word for this practice pretty soon, as mo

Not exactly answering your question, but I‘ve found researching CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data-Types) very enlightening. It‘s what a lot of databases use these days for multi-master replication. Martin Kleppmann has done some great wr

Very nice, thanks for sharing! One suggestion: music player applications benefit greatly from virtual scrolling, since lists of songs or albums can potentially be very, very long. Nonetheless, fantastic job!

The best way I’ve found is to update the DOM in an requestAnimationFrame loop, polling the Audio Element’s currentTime, since its events don’t fire reliably.

by ch_sm 7y ago
Yeah, how does that work?
221.
by ch_sm 7y ago
It’s good reasoning, I think. Would love to see an experimental prototype. At the same time, I feel like the DOM presents us with some hard to overcome performance problems (like single-threadedness), and the current batch of declarative vi

I think that’s the sad truth. There are currently no good cross-platform UI Toolkits.

While I completely agree, implementing pinch-to-zoom on desktop devices in the browser is next to impossible with current web apis (It _is_ viable on mobile devices). Source: I tried. EDIT: I guess Google Chrome could go all `el.addEventLis

It’s true that audiophiles can be some of the worst pseudoscientists around. But still, without the input of some good journalists (like NwAvGuy) I honestly wouldn‘t have found the bliss that is a good-quality and nicely set-up stereo syste

I just love how we went from "underscore" to "lodash" to "lobash". People in the future are gonna think we were nuts. Either way, cool project!

You’re right in that it looks similar to React, but it is also true that this kind of API is (declarative component tree composition) now very wide-spread and popular, and React was not the first to implement or adopt it (I feel like the pe

When comparing Windows 95 to other Operating Systems of its era (Windows 3.1, Mac OS 7.1/7.5 or OS/2) it becomes more apparent that they must have gotten inspired by NeXTSTEP.
