To me, this "60fps or bust" notion that seems to have come up recently is complete and utter nonsense. It's masturbatory technofetishism. In the eight or so years that I worked as a system administrator and the many more year

Quite lovely to see in action. Apparently I am so primitive that I still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

I've searched high and low after reading your reply, trying for an hour to jog my memory of how I got that to work. Well, I found it — quite a few entries in /etc/hosts, made at 02:30 AM, together with unflattering comments a

Not only that - I recently spent about one week of constant back-and-forth with their developer support, because I couldn't pay with Paypal on certain sites. Turns out their digital goods checkout is broken for accounts that have 2fa e

Off topic, but kudos for your product site - I think it's functionally and aesthetically very well done. The annotated UI pagers on the homepage are neat.

I'm a bit confused as to how to read your statement. atmosx simply said that from what s/he saw, the ads ignored the targeting settings. That suggests a problem that is not fixed by user education, testing or throwing bigger budge
