I hope it's not disrespectful to point this out, less than 24 hours after his passing, but I don't think Gordon would object to my pointing out that Moore's Law has a finite length. Some have argued it expired up to 13 years

In fairness that's a particularly egregious example. This one doesn't look so bad but still gets a lot of the lighting/shadows & colour balance very wrong, flipping between being oversaturated or too dark https:/&#x

A good classic modern example of this is emulated graphics mods for Breath of the Wild: this is probably the most well-known recent 3d game that went with very noticeably stylised & simplified character models, likely in part due to the

I think you're giving FAANG undue credit. These are rich companies - their competence is in investment, technical competence is not required.

As someone who's been paying for Little Snitch for a long time this is an odd move, as this seems to do everything I would want. Sure, I've availed of some of the more advanced features in the paid version, but they definitely nev

That's a good idea in retrospect but could only have been possible if the current state was pre-planned. In actual fact the two properties were competing, with each side hoping the other would die. And of course changing names later is

I don't think the article is saying it should be frowned upon, just that it traditionally has been (not always for valid reasons). It's always been considered better than innerHTML though; it's only textContent people think

The way I always distinguished innerText from textContent in my head is: - innerText does what a human would likely want (fuzzy) - textContent does what's technically correct (strict) or to put it another way: - retrieving textContent

So, there's a few angles here. To add initial context, I'm referring to the general tendency of younger people to have less interest in sex (statistically) than previous generations. Firstly, you're starting with adult concer
