Things unfortunately get more complicated if you allow children of varying heights. Then, in order to know what content should be visible at a particular scroll position, you must first fetch and lay out all content that appears above it. O

On quibble: I don't foresee the market for luxury and sports cards drying up any time soon (as the author suggests). A status symbol is still a status symbol: the main value proposition of an expensive car is to be expensive [1]. [1]

Performance would always be my key concern with something like a general-purpose constraint solver. I know that LP is a field in its own right, but I don't have a ton of experience there -- do you think there's a practical path to

Graphical layout is one of the most underestimated challenges in computer science. Programmers instinctively look at the problem and thing "oh, this is logical, I'll just whip up some basic principles and layout primitives and I&#

The shocking, unprecedented, world-changing difference that the web brings is that on the web all you have to do is click a link and your computer downloads, "installs", and runs a program. No manual installation necessary, no upg

I suppose it's my turn to link to another effort in this area, liquid salt batteries: http://www.ted.com/talks/donald_sadoway_the_missing_link_to_... They have the advantage of being much cheaper to manufacture, b

This reduces to the same problem mentioned above (which is essentially the halting problem). The browser has no way of predicting which elements you will add or remove these classes from. Automatic preparation would be possible for transfor

Style properties such as transforms can be changed at runtime by JavaScript (and frequently are for things like dragging operations). There is no practical way for the profiler to detect which styles of which elements your JavaScript will a

As an aside, I would highly recommend making a trip out to see Discovery if you are ever in the DC area (the Udvar Hazy Center is just a few minutes' drive from Dulles airport). They let you get remarkably close to the shuttle (close e

There are plenty of reasons to switch to another host from Gmail, but this oft-expressed one is not great: "Getting my data back under control In the past months we’ve had a lot of scary revelations about privacy violations, the bigges

This is sort of like saying the perfect phone is fundamentally devastating to Apple's business model since it would never break and you'd never need another one. Both situations might some day arise, but until then both Google and

I don't really see how the title of the article matches its contents. Sure, they figured out how to super-impose the NSA logo onto stock photos of Google, but you usually need actual evidence in order to report on something. The arti

The only problem for GitHub now is finding a way to attract talent. If your best response to "You have a hostile work environment." is "We don't have a provably illegal hostile work environment." then that doesn&#

Can anyone proffer an opinion on Chris Beard as the new CEO? Is he a good choice, or should this remain an interim position? I don't know anything about him.

"Accepting each other's beliefs" seems like a simple solution, but it has a very problematic result. To LGBT Mozillians, this becomes "you must respect beliefs that say that you are a second-class citizen." No one s

The misunderstanding was not the price of the clickbait, it was the intention. boyd does provide a very careful definition of sexism buried at the addenda to her article, but that explanation did not appear with the original article when it

Ugh, I wish we didn't need such a rage-baiting title to talk about this. I'm not a huge fan of danah's methods [1], but then againit's hard to argue with her results. danah is right that her findings are not at all concl

Two thoughts: - Brendan Eich is a great guy and I suspect would have been a great CEO and done good things for the company. - I fully respect the actions of Mozilla employees who did not want someone with Eich's opinions as their CEO.

If this were any other company I don't think this would turn any heads. However, much of Mozilla's ethos and community support is built on ethical rather than capitalistic foundations. It's hard to reconcile thoughts on a com

US education has both private and public aspects. Private schools are, surprisingly, almost unregulated in terms of the content that they must teach (high school students are required to take one class in American History). Public education

Once you push a change to a public repo, you should not change it. It sucks that it's broken, but that's your fault; you should either roll back your change or submit a second change that fixes it. However, you shouldn't reba

In the trademark world you are arguing that "npm" has become "genericized" [1]. That certainly can happen, but that would be a very hard argument to make given npm's relative youth and the lack of true use as a gene

Despite the fact that Laszlo is the head of HR, engineering is in charge of its own hiring procedures. I would take all of this with a giant grain of salt.

The game business is like the movie business in that projects are "seasonal" rather than a constant thing. Unless you are working on a tight little indie game or a recurring blockbuster series (Call of Duty, Madden), the number of

git's CLI design is byzantine and inconsistent, with terms that are both overloaded and underloaded (many commands do multiple, unrelated things while at the same time many common tasks do not have commands). It's very easy for

The debate over spaces vs. tabs is as old as time. Associating one side of the argument with "top-down corporate numbnuttery" betrays a lack of familiarity with the issue. The fact is that whatever shop you work at should have an

As someone who has used similar tech, I can vouch for the fact that the immersion really is on a completely different level. Vertigo can be especially unsettling. In my demo there was a large hole in the floor and I found myself physically
