Do the Chrome/Firefox developer tools have any easy way to simulate forms of color blindness and levels + types of vision loss? I'd love to see such tools front-and-center so that devs are always aware of the need to accomodate fo

Blue light is only emitted if the blue subpixel is lit (well, except for some backlight leakage on LCDs). So it is possible to sit in front of a screen without any blue light. Of course, this means you can't produce most colors, so it&

It's a pretty crude test, since you could always gut the laptop (e.g., replace the battery with a tiny one that could only run the laptop for 20 minutes) and fill the remaining space with explosives. But as with any security, it does m

Do we really want people chasing karma on here? I'd be tempted to go the other way, and limit the visibility and usefulness of it. I.e., on user profiles just show "between 1-50 karma", "500+ karma".
