Green is also the most challenging one, since our perception of green is twice as good as with other colours. Blue, btw, is generally perceived darker than the technical brightness of the color would suggest. A general advice may be to dial

Mind that any such textbook (of which there are many) would be just yet another interpretation, reflecting mostly the times it was written in.

May be worth testing it against getElementsByClassName(), which also returns a live collection.

I had projects where this contributed to a visibly perceivable difference. This may have involved SVG, though.

So, what self-respecting programmings languages are there that wouldn't offer some new syntactic sugar every year so that you can keep your codebase up-to-date? ;-) (Basically, programming is all about engagement nowadays, like with ev

No, this is another agenda, if any. Energy crisis scare was already around last winter. BTW, phasing out nuclear power plants without a suitable replacement in the high demand segment is actually a problem, which is only elevated by the pro

I happened to watch a segment where the cars on the opposite lanes looked more like passing on an independent road, so I missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. And it really looked more like an interstate passing through a city.

You're right. Still, cars passing on both sides was so North American to me that this blended in this specific impression.

BTW, while we may think that driving is a universal thing, I instantly found it amazing how North American this is. From the integrated indicators, to cars passing on your right, to the road lights and even how the road undulates. Having sa

The most idiosyncratic mark is probably an audible starting "h" in question words like "who", "why", "when", etc. And [1] this is a great channel on these topics, recommended.

However, moving YT videos (and ads!) from embeds or old Flash-code to isolated iframes may be a sane default.

Mind that the test is meant to include the prompt/query. E.g., take one of Alexander's winners, the robot in the cathedral: a human would probably answer to the prompt by making the cathedral part of the subject, by investing some

What I'm aiming at is about what is shown by an image, not what is in an image. Take for example the images for "A digital art picture of a robot child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert", which Scott A

I'd also say, every of these images would fail a reverse test (i.e., asking a person to describe the image and what it represents.) The task is not just about generating an image that may somehow be in accordance with the prompt, but a

Regarding Mac and dock icons, I prefer an unobtrusive (but static) dock at the side, which results in rather tiny icon sizes. While this used to worked great, starting with ADock on classic Mac OS, with Big Sur this has become something lik

Moreover, `Object.handleEvent()` allows you to handle any events centralised inside an object and in its specific context since the days of Netscape 4.0. (Which is something many frameworks try to fix, ignoring that it's already in the

Personally, I find it easier and faster and more flexible doing it vanilla style. However, you still have to come up with your own abstractions (those you actually need), meaning, you have to own the stack. This may be a good thing, but is

Hum, there are a few things promoters of the lab theory haven't accounted for: meanwhile, strains that are closer related to the wild type have been found in Laos and Vietnam and the Wuhan lab didn't sample there; the (in)famous H
