   Another reason is, that there are the first 90 percent and then there are the other 90 percent.

   Using web fonts is one of the most annoying web design trends. My browser sometimes loads the wrong font for some reason, which for example leads to news rendered with a unreadable baroque typeface. I would prefer to have them disabled comp

    I don't expect that there ever will be a perfect or optimal programming language. There is also no perfect natural language. I would rather say, that the language is just a vehicle and especially beginners identify themselves too much

    Yes, but there is a difference between writing a lisp interpreter, and expecting that the world will use your lisp interpreter for actual projects. :) I would also recommend writing a game to any developer. This includes graphics, UI, perfo

    Perfect. To me it looks like a few new languages are introduced every week and I just cannot understand why. I can understand that a programmer who reaches a certain level wants to build his own language, but do they really think that the w

    Why do these companies seem to always get away with violating their customers privacy? Why don't they have to pay huge fines for that, or even better, go to jail (those who made such decisions)? Seriously, what they do is criminal.

    Probably that was the reason why Apple did not have the courage to do so, but it is obvious that it creates additional value for some people. Especially designers and illustrators, I think.

    I Agree. I just could not resist posting this quote. :) Actually Pencil looks nice and I always wondered why Apple did not release such a device itself.

    I'm not looking for a language that is hard to read. The great thing about such demos is, that everyone is able to read and run it within minutes.

    Those [anything] in [n] lines of JavaScript pieces are a great way to dive into the code in order to learn. It is usually much easier to read through 30 lines than through 3000 lines. So it probably not very important that these projects ar

    So what is the next coup? Linking all the comments from the past that you wrote when you were thinking it was pseudonymous to your real name? My only recommendation: Get out of such services as fast as possible.

    Recommendations are actually nice, but the problem on YT is how they are based on the current video and my personal browsing history at the same time. I think in earlier days they were just based on the current video and this made much mor
