I've now read that entire page several times, and I don't believe that the explanation is truly there. The about page does a good job of explaining why accessibility is important, what "A11Y" means, and states that The A

I'm not who you replied to, but as someone unfamiliar with the term "a11y", I googled it while reading these comments and the very first hit is https://a11yproject.com/ which I, too, assumed was "the a11

Note that I never said cost was a way to gauge good calculators. I was merely answering the question of why one might pay for a calculator app instead of using one of the many free ones. Again, this is why I very deliberately said "mig

Just for kicks, I too google image searched for "space frame" and while most of the images were of entirely triangle-based space frames, there were in fact some that showed constructions using curved bars. So if we're using g

I don't think it's bold at all to say one _might_ be, as I purposefully did. I'd think that'd be pretty obvious, actually.

A paid calculator app might be better designed than a free one. Or it might not have ads, when a free one does. Or it being paid could mean that it'll be better supported with any necessary bugfixes and updates. Or the fact that it&#x2

While I don't think that those necessarily mean it can't work well on iPhone, it does bring up an important point about feature differences between iPad and iPhone, and one that Apple surely considers: They are _different_ devices

From what pics I've seen, it looks the circles are arranged in a triangular pattern. So there are your triangles. (One of my most eye opening realizations when I was in engineering school was that just because something does not superf

I can't claim the same. I get (usually minor) rendering differences between Safari, Chrome, and Firefox pretty equally at work.

That's fair. I only made that assumption because you specifically said "I have never encountered a Go programmer in real life that is actually mad about this"

by joemi 7y ago
I think the "everyone" in that statement refers to those who are upset. It probably could have been more accurately phrased as "People are upset that Go is Google's language..." As to your not encountering a Go prog

Of course it matters. That's the whole reason the Go Is Google's Language post exists. And the whole reason the response exists, and this very comment thread, too.

Is there really much practical difference between that and Go? From the Ian Lance Taylor response: > There was no mandate or suggestion from Google management or executives that Google should develop a programming language. For many yea

In the US at least (probably most other places too), aircraft are tracked pretty accurately, so if you know the time it happened and the pilot can give a rough bearing, some triangulation should be possible. Add to that the fact that the ar

The word “blind” can mean either permanent or temporary loss of vision. To that end it does not seem to be an exaggerated headline at all.

While ePubs can handle more complicated layouts, it's much easier to take an existing print book layout and export to PDF and have it retain the formatting than it is to do the same with ePub. So to export the same layout to ePub, you

You can turn them off. Just use an email client that doesn't fetch images/load images. For the most part, email is very usable without images.

The Master Switch by Tim Wu describes this "gentrification" process (though not with that term since it doesn't seem to be the best term for this). Further, the book shows how it happens systematically whenever a new inventio

It's a techcruch article, not exactly quality reporting. I'm not really sure why so many people link to them when there's usually a better source for most stories (unless the story is merely rumor).

I'm not saying they didn't copy small portions of the original, such the highlighted UUIDs. But they most certainly did not copy the entire documentation (or even large portions) _verbatim_. They _paraphrased_ large portions of th

Did you look at the linked article? It's not verbatim. It's clear that it was heavily based on Smartcar's docs, but it's most certainly not verbatim.

I'm from New England and this is something I've never heard of before. It seems like it should be fairly easy to tell whether a stone wall is ancient or just from the time of the settlers, so without further references I'm fa

If you ever do get it working, I think it'll be fun to push it to over-recognize chess games everywhere, like the deepdream stuff over-recognizing animals (or whatever) everywhere.

I think you get that kind of potential to get stuck on inconsequential details in any design. It happens in video game design of course, but also board game design, and graphic design, and software design in general, among many other fields

I'm assuming that the business card size restriction is an April Fool's joke. There's already a pretty big movement of people dissatisfied with the big AAA games: the indie video game scene. I can't believe someone in th

It's more that author's particular style than it is all of Hackaday. Most (all?) of the other Hackaday writers do not have the same tone and some are absolutely delightful to read!
