The thing with cloud and with anything related to it, anything that connects to the internet somehow... is that, unless it's open source and the servers decentralized, you are always trusting SOMEONE. Sure, Apple might make their best

Somewhat controversial but honestly, if someone will consume this sort of material, I rather it is deepfake than the real thing. I think it's pretty authoritarian for the state to outlaw – and jail to 14 years in prison someone – becau

Great fan of John Koenig's work. Honestly, to me, this video of his, I watched 10 years ago, it's one of those things you take with you for life. Beautiful and so true. https://vimeo.com/83258629

I have the impression, and I might be totally wrong here, but that most programmers didn't learn how to program because they like programming itself, but rather because they wanted to do something that requires programming and then lea

Here's an example: https://archive.org/search?query=bach It's on the search archive collections. All that "collection-browser" tag is inside a shadow-root. It didn't used to be like that.

I don't want to be that old man yelling "oh, in my days!!!", but honestly, a lot, if not most, of the web "innovations" seem to make things considerably worse, and shadow DOM is a great example of this. For instance

I agree with you, and just a few more observations about where do I think the current bottleneck might be: I wonder how well the model handles with re-using objects/people/scenes. Like, can I create a character and then use him ag

To me, I think it depends on what is the goal when you are searching something and what is that data in particular. Infinite scroll and pagination offer different user experience proposes, and make different assumptions about the user. To g

It's a cool idea but I really don't like the front-end being used in the site. For instance, if you try to select the footer element, to block it, instead of the site showing you "#footer" (or something legible), it sho

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's all a plane to make it harder for people to save stuff. If the content just stays there after you loaded, you could just save the page as HTML and, if there wasn't a lot of javascrip

The software itself is pretty good, you can see that they put enough work on making something more than just a chromium skin. It's a optimized version of chromium that runs pretty well, especially in Windows. And they implemented very
