the biggest issue i ran into when trying voip with a cell phone is lack of functioning mms (and therefore also group sms). that ended up being the dealbreaker.

too late for me. they fired a ton of engineering talent working on exciting tech (servo) to chase some bundled vpn rebrand. what a misguided move, like most everything they've done in non-engineering space. sad. before, i would have do

SCT reflector telescopes use an exotic looking "corrector plate" (lens) to compensate for the easier-to-produce spherical mirrors vs parabolic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_corrector_plate

like a perf-related bug for ctx.font mutation? no. the actual behavior of context being reset during resize works as specced, AFAIK.

by leeoniya 5y ago
resize and orientationchange don't change devicePixelRatio though, so they're somewhat different concerns.

by leeoniya 5y ago
you can use matchMedia to detect devicePixelRatio changes and re-sync: https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot/blob/190134aa844cfa2a0c052... everything stays crisp even as you browser-zoom. e.g. https://

i think you'd still need 4 bezierCurveTo commands, so not sure there's any advantage over 4 arcTo: function roundedRect(ctx, x, y, width, height, radius) { ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(x, y + radius); ctx.ar

> context.reset is kinda funny. Most high-performance canvas apps will never want to use it. For that matter you want to set all properties as little as possible, especially setting things like context.font, which are slow even if you&#x

one [more] thing i want is to be able to retain canvas context settings when resizing the canvas. e.g. it's unreasonably very expensive to re-sync the lost ctx.font on every dragged pixel - this operation alone dominates my perf prof

you can do rounded rect in about 50% fewer commands vs the example. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1255512/how-to-draw-a-ro...

the whole nuclear paralysis because of fukushima is rather insane. location & reactor design make a giant difference in risk profile and outcomes. IMO nuclear is the only real way out of the current mess. any idea why we dont have sever

hmmm, you might be right. i wonder what steered me away. maybe each SSE response re-sends headers, which can be larger than the message itself? maybe it was inability to do broadcast to multiple open sse sockets from nodejs. i should revis

the problem is multiple tabs. if you have, e.g. a bunch of Grafana dashboards open on multiple screens in different tabs (on same domain), you will exhaust your HTTP connection limit very quickly with SSE. in most cases this is not a concer
