I replied to your other post but I’d also like to say: there is too much of a focus IMO on getting in to the “good” schools right out of HS. I remember a genius physics grad TA I had who went from community college to the UIUC graduate phys

35 ACT and he was rejected to University of Minnesota? Tell your kid that he’s perfectly fine and that their admissions are FUBAR. Try UIUC (my alma). Though I was in-state. It’s gotten more selective but a top one for CS. They admitted me

What's the thing where you have to license your patent? Like when it's used in a standard or something?

Plus without a patent it would be very easy to capitalize on this without compensating the guy for all the research and tuning his put into it. I think patents are ideal for new ideas that are super easy to steal/copy, right? Sure Acad

That latency really is the killer. The web needs a fast UI layer separate from the DOM. I’m waiting for WebGPU to roll out and build a UI library on top of it, forgoing the DOM. But then this is just another “hack”. I wish the web had somet

Well, there are a number of “selling points” to electron/NW.JS or similar: reuse JS code/skills/libraries (npm) to build desktop apps; use Node.JS to build desktop apps; cross-platform. It clearly lowered the barrier and from

Woah. Much better comprehension reading the first example text.

When will I be able to run Linux on my M1 iMac and should I? I read about Asahi Linux supporting it, but I don’t know about performance.

Thank you for all the tricks you've supplied me over the years. Here's to many more.

Very, very nice from a code golf perspective though.

As others mentioned, you could add to the plethora of HN browser extensions. Another idea would be to allow people to specify an avatar in their bio and load it in, though that would entail a lot of web requests I guess. Also, I just realiz

They're definitely still thriving in bigger cities. It's the smaller ones like mine (~100k) where the business is no longer viable.

Maybe see if he likes sour candies? Or bitter things like grapefruit? You could make grapefruit candies. I think the best thing to do would be to find a substitute because continuing with "battery fakes" isn't a long-term sol

You know... I think our's has a planet fitness as well! But same; Macy's, JC Penney, Old Navy, MC Sports, GameStop, Sears -- all gone. Only Kohl's remains.

What an epic blunder by Putin which we can only hope leads to some kind of change in Russia.

The mall in my town is 75% empty, and frequented mostly by older "mall walkers" such as my father, who does four laps a day. Was still cool when I was in high school (circa 2012). I have no idea how they're still open even af

It’s replaced ScaleForm (the Flash powered UI option) in many places it seems. I’d love to know what kinds of techniques are used for really flashy UIs. There are a few companies solely focused on this middleware (web-based UI in video game

Every year I age I respect good teachers more and more. I think it’s one of the hardest jobs. And at the risk of getting some blowback I think much stems from our broken and outdated public education system. There has to be choice and freed

I think so. They talked about some of the engineering around the fusing of the two but who knows how that would translate to Geekbench points, lol.

Also, more SPA framework logic needs to become part of the web platform; APIs beyond pushState, service workers, etc. You have to integrate it into the browser to really remove the confusion and the boilerplate.

But there's a cost savings, right? JSON requests for just the data necessary vs. sending the whole HTML page each time. Personally I'd prefer to develop a website the old-fashioned way, but I see that the bandwidth savings is a ma

Here's the thing: so-called "JAM stack" apps are the cheapest to run, right? I realized this while I was thinking about how to create the cheapest site possible. Mainly, you want to minimize bandwidth. Well, SPAs are designed

Yes, a big boy indeed. Way too big, though to be fair it is that way simply because what it hopes to give developers takes an executable that big (Chromium + Node). I'm not sure how node-webkit compares in size. The webview library, wh

God, I just want this to come out (for desktop platforms, linux at least). Even though their niche is embedded it looks like this browser will be competitive with the other modern ones. A new engine would be great for the web. They also hav

You can download it for Raspberry Pi. They're a British company. I've been following it for while now. Definitely not vaporware.
