Gonna rant but other than using 100% open source software what can we do? I think I kind of wish it was illegal to collect data without very explicit opt in and no loss in functionality. (Note: HP apparently asked for permission AFAIK Faceb

Amazing but yea, not the Ken Burns effect. MacOS has "Ken Burns" screen saver if you are on Mac. There's also plenty of examples of "Ken Burns" effect on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjdWv

You can repo the shortness with a few tiny functions you put in your own library. Probably less than 1k vs all of query. Also some programmers opt for readabiltiy over terseness.

"this" is also set by native listeners. IIRC it's the elem the event was added to where as event.target is the element that the event was cause from (often not the same). Example: https://jsfiddle.net/greggman

In the particular sentence I was refering to the context seemed to be retro 2D games vs 3D games (from Doom to Forenite). It was not 3D games on 2D screens vs 3D games in VR or at least that's how I took it. Even if it was about 3D on

Random comment. I've monitored the discussions of WHLSL/WSL vs SPIR-V and I can't decide which side I'm on. I started in the SPIR-V camp. I liked the idea that WebGPU would just get "shader assembly language" a

WebGPU is for the Web. You're expected to be able to put up a webpage and have it run everywhere (as much as is possible). Vulkan is designed so you have to make paths for every differen type of hardware. That's a non-starter for

I tried to submit some data but the MDN format seemed to me to be poorly thought out to me (though maybe I just didn't get it). If I understood correctly, in order to add any data you need to add data for all browsers. You can't j
