It's the same in Japan (15yrs in Japan) That is not to say you can't find people of both sexes into anime. But, when I've asked at parties, unless it's specifically a nerd party, 19 out of 20 times people say they don&#x

That is arguably because US cities suck. They don't have good public transportation, the kind that even well to do people choose to ride regularly like they do in say Tokyo, London, Switerland, Netherlands, etc.. They also don't h

Wouldn't a simple solution be to require apps that aren't browser to list a limited set of domains they're allowed to access? Then you could use the WkWebKit view for your app but you couldn't use it to allow the user to

You solve that problem by making a better browser, not by limiting user choice.

I like function tables. I think they are cleaner than switch statements But, (maybe this is an invalid test), checking today my results suggest a switch is faster than a function table in 2022? At least at a base level. Maybe the more compl

My experience with marketing comes from games. In games, if you show marketing a new game they'll tell you it won't sell. They only want clones of the last hit. Where-as, IMO, their job is to get people to want your new game, not

I've ported this Boulderdash clone 4 times. It's arguably not a good way of exercising a language as it's pretty trivial, doesn't use any data structures or other interesting language features https://greggman

I don't think the holds. When Sony bought Columbia there's an apocryphal story of the USA executives explaining the business to the new Japanese owners and saying "We make 20 movies and only 1 is profitable". The Japanes

This is amazing! Thank you! I wanted to point out that using `image-rendering: pixelated` ends up with extremely ugly diagrams if, like me, you're on a machine with a non-integer devicePixelRatio. https://i.imgur.com/X3

I enjoyed Meteor. Is there anything else out there right now that works as smoothly. Just install meteor and it installs a local copy of mongodb. Not a fan of mongo per-se, rather I'm a fan that meteor didn't require me to install

Not the same thing but ... In my experience, most browser developers (who write C++) don't know web development. In fact most of them disdane it, or at least that's how it feels. I find it kind of sad though I also understand it a

You'll find 100s or 1000s of article espousing the opposite. That you can't know what you want until you try building it. You can't see all of the issues and all of the problems and how your design really doesn't work un

I'm only pointing out you'll get better results today, in all browser, by upscaling offline and then letting the browser downscale than upscale in the browser via `image-rendering: pixelated` The question was "Why are they us

Do you have some evidence that OpenStreetMaps had a user experience similar to Google Maps in 2004? My recollection is it did not. It was like at best like mapquest. Click an arrow on the edge of the map, wait for the page to reload. There

you're right, the spec changed Feb 2021 https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6038 That said, my main point stands, Nearest Neighbor looks horrible when you have a non-integer devicePixelRatio which

I'm saying it because I've actually read the spec. The spec https://drafts.csswg.org/css-images/#the-image-rendering says > pixelated: > The image is scaled in a way that preserves the pixelated nature

google maps? If you're going to claim mapquest existed before that then you'd need to remove ipod, iphone, ipad from the list above. All of those had products that came before but weren't hits.

There is actually no perfect solution For one, browser's can't agree on what CSS solution to pick. Chrome and Safari have `image-rendering: pixelated` whereas Firefox has `image-rendering: crisp-edges`. The spec used to say pixela

I have a friend what has a company with ~20 employees. During COVID they all went WFH. After 12 months or so they announced they'd stay WFH forever and closed the office. 9 months later the president and office manager got new office.
