The URL starting with "play" (with "Edgar" being the next word, and the title that greets you) gives people the impression that it's going to be them playing a game called Edgar. Yes, technically, "play" c

I got the ones B&H was selling and they're real (it also came with filters for phones and an app which I find suspicious). Amazon is way too risky for something like this when there's known fakes going around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox seems even more relevant. Removing a "shortcut" road and traffic improving (or adding a shortcut and traffic getting worse) is very counterintuitive.

It's kind of cheating, but Braille should all fit in a 3x2 font. You'd need a language that doesn't rely on accent marks or pictograms for sure (unless they have a very tiny set of characters), and that probably eliminates a

It's a neat idea but I think you need to make the actual portfolio pieces more obvious (e.g. have them animated, glowing, or just more brightly colored to stand out more). I'd also recommend a way to get the resume/CV directl

Not my experience outside of aspect ratio mis-matches. Flash content used a lot of vector art which scales fantastically. It not resizing is the developer's fault, not the technology's (which is common with Flash, it got blamed a

That would definitely explain why they were so half-assed in their attempts to adapt to HTML5.

I blame Adobe for Flash dying much more than Apple. There's a lot of features that would have been hard to port (maybe Flash Player could have evolved into providing support for those and being optional for simpler content), but an HTM

I really think the all-in-one-ness of Flash is what made it so easy to use. Not only that you can make almost everything for a game/cartoon in one interface (IIRC audio wasn't included), but also that the output was a single file

I believe it's access to the scanners used for registration. The whitepaper doesn't seem to talk about how they prevent illegitimate use of "The Orb" outside of revoking IDs which sounds like it's ripe for abuse.

Newer macOS is actually really good about running with less RAM. The only problem is then your SSD will suddenly fill up. If either was upgradable, this would be no problem.
