For reference, these are the established "12 steps" of overcoming alcoholism: 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could res

Mapbox's free tier is an order of magnitude less permissive. They even charge for loading their JavaScript: $5 per kiloload! Feels like the best approach if I'm not trying to commercialize is just to encourage people to self-host

Is there a better option for raw base tilesets? When making my app mapping world tides ( https://solunar.pages.dev ) I tried OSM for instance but it only had raster tiles at LoDPI resolutions available. ESRI on the other hand had

Trying to drag the content horizontally causes it to attempt to scroll then immediately rebound. On its own this is a strange stylistic decision, but coupled with the sidebar position being fixed it just looks sloppy. This isn't mobile

Bing's weird with some websites. For instance it will refuse to show the bun homepage (bun.sh) with anything short of a direct copy of the title: "Bun — fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime", even then it gives you a link with

From $2 to $5, possibly more if you add a bunch of sweeteners or alternative milks. Even at 1/day every day of the month the expensive Starbucks is substantially cheaper than the above offering.

Makes sense. I was going to propose a line at "cpu writes to memory-mapped io pins directly controlling pixel data". The two definitions seem roughly equivalent. In any case, HTML surely meets the criteria. A much more significant

Coming on HN to ask that is about the same as going to the liquor store to ask how to give up drinking. You want real answers go to places where people don't have internet, then ask what they do.

With that definition, could you give an example of something that isn't GPU-backed? As far as I'm aware the GPU is always there at the bottom of the stack, pushing bits to the monitor. Heck in many desktops the monitor plugs dir

Good point about converting linear motion to rotary for mouse users. I hadn't considered that as I only ever use touch screens and touch pads so to me the rotary is just fine (aka, touch the option you want). That said, it's just

Amazing that I scrolled this far to see any mention of vaping. I don't believe the stat can include vaping - it's anecdotal, but nearly 100% of the amigas I know vape. No amigos however, strangely enough. I think it's an anxi
