you can often test dpr issues by zooming and refreshing. Different zoom levels give different devicePixelRatio values including many non-interger ones. At least in Firefox/Chrome

I wish I didn't believe in regret but I feel it. I do my best to ignore it and face forward but I still often feel very strong regret for moments daily. Since high school I wanted a spouse and kids (obviously I imagined a good relation

I had a similar experience. Her father threatened to fly over and take her back forcefully if she didn't stop dating me. She told him she stopped but kept seeing me. Eventually she hoped to elope. She also had a deadline for leaving th

Can you put into words what makes it special without spoiling anything? I played to the first boss. Found zero interesting. Stopped playing. Up to that point it was just generic "game". Walk a character around, shoot stuff, repeat

This is arguably not true. We can look at the history of traffic accidents to see that, left to their own devices, drivers will drive faster than is safe. Laws, enforcement (cameras), and better road design (best), will get drivers to slow

This isn't just a car driver issue. 90% of the cyclists and 75% of the pedestrians are also like "fuck it!", I don't care that the light is red, I'm crossing now. Fuck anyone who has the right of way. They'll h

To add what others are saying. I CC-BY all my photos but just because the photo is CC-BY doesn't mean it's safe to use. I don't know all the other "rights" but for example a photo I took of Mickey Mouse, or a movie

Of course it is. Apple wants 30% of everything their car delivers you to. You're Apple's customer and they're bringing their customers to your business so clearly they deserve 30%. Plus even more lock-in, if you want to switc

I choose it for portability. I can ship to my users today, work on new features for all users, or I can spend 3-4-5-6 months dealing with differences in platforms, differences in tooling, build environments, deployment, etc.... I also it ch

It'd maybe be nice to be able to mark which code gets optimized. If I could make all std as "don't debug this and keep it optimized" I would. I know some debuggers have the option to at least not step into certain code t

My current feeling is that, at least in SF, no one cares about traffic laws. The roads are public and traffic laws exist to organize sharing of the roads. I think I'd prefer the roads to be surveilled and more fines be levied. I'm

index = angle1 + angle2 | 0 Will keep things an integer. The | requires casting to int, the 0 makes it a no-op after the cast. This is from asm.js which had to emulate integers so they looked through what it would take http:&#x2

That's a very good point. A pointer dereferences its object, an index does not. So arguably having to switch from pointers to integers is going be a net drag on debugging since it will be no trivial to see what objects are being refere

IMO there is some common sense to comments that is often not followed. Example: I work on a project that has a pre-submit script that requires comments for tests. This leads to ridiculousness where I have code like // Test t

I would argue the biggest reason craigslist is doing well it it's free and semi anonymous (it forwards all emails though generated addresses) The UX has areas clearly neglected. For example in apartments there is a trashcan icon to hid
