The state transition animations also happen to be very choppy even on my beefed up PC.

How though? All of the UI is rendered in a canvas element. This would break most existing screen readers and accessibility tools which rely on properly marked up and parseable HTML. I would suppose that the Flutter devs could provide some s

It's neat! What do you imagine the use cases being?

Yeah, it seems doubtful that there are any medical interventions that may help from what I have read. It just seems strange to do, well, nothing at all. It's a similarly hopeless situation to my parents who are worried about developing

Wow, this really hits home because I have a friend who was, well, a USC linebacker and then a professional linebacker. Further, he's deeply conspiratorial and not in dialog with the medical system or much of mainstream anything. He&#x2

I agree with your sentiment, but let me play devil's advocate to potentially turn over a few stones. > communications agencies around the world have provided us with well researched safe exposure limits and compliance Based on what

Yeah, I actually sleep fine and this would be the most extreme version of proactivity that I would ever elicit. I don't really know what to make of some interesting case reports that some individuals make about being "RF sensitive

Sorry, I should have clarified. I have a modem under my room, as well as a few neighbors with modems around ground level. What am I missing here? I tried as best I could to cobble together info together from around the web but it was fairly

I've looked into creating a Faraday cage for my bedroom for the potential benefit of increasing sleep quality by blocking RF. I live in downtown Seattle where a cellular tower is visible from my house and the measured RF around me is q

Do you think the judge's case is not plausible? Cops are not superheroes, they're simply (often undertrained) civilians who happen to be wearing a uniform. They want to go home, too. Without teargas what type enforcement mechanism

Guess I missed that. That makes sense, it's an interesting trade-off though. I suspect that including Vue via a script tag is not how the majority of users implement Vue; and therefore clinging to the virtual DOM may be a net-negative

The announcement talk was nice to watch, however, it was technically void of any of the implementation details. It's interesting to me that they did not consider the approach of pushing more work to the compiler and less to the runtime

Ha! You guys have a good eye. I opened it in the browser with FB Messenger, however the sharing/saving actions presented are the same when I use iOS Safari or iOS Chrome. And unfortunately, I do have Files installed. Maybe what I'

I would love this to be the case. If it really is this easy then I have failed my job as the head technologist of.. well, my family. This is the interface I'm presented with when I open a .mp3 file in a web browser [0]. None of the ava

by nikkwong 6y ago
Yeah. This kind of interface problem is absolutely mind blowing to me. iOS especially always feels almost dumb enough to be unusable to me in comparison with my computer. For example, the other day I just wanted to download an Mp3 to my

Sure, but their goal has always been to simply appeal to their base rather than to evangelize the gospel of the GOP. They're far too partisan an institution to be attempting a shot like that. The difference is that the left-leaning new

I think you are giving far too much credit to other members of our species. Members of the media are clearly as fallible as the dysfunctional politicians they are covering. CNN and other left-of-center media organizations would do themselve

I'm sure there are multiple ways to look at the data and an argument can be made for both sides; but generally speaking I feel like a rising tide lifts most boats. Or to be said differently, rising GDP creates the greatest good for the

I don't feel like the article discusses the economic reasons to increase our population count deeply enough. We're a consumer economy, so when population count slows or stagnates near mid this century, markets will suffer. Japan&#

I noticed at the end of the blog post you stated that you're very excited about the debut of the upcoming Concurrent Mode (CM) in React. I've read about the problem that Concurrent Mode is working to address; but I'm confused

In my layman opinion the correct solution would be a directed-energy weapon. The most obvious one that comes to mind would be a laser (or an array of lasers, for your dozen-fast flying drone scenario). Imagine the large collection of lights

I agree with most of what you say; however.. if you consider some novel ability like speaking a foreign language, I would think that your aptitude in such a skill is a product of many factors, albeit memory and recall being paramount. If wh

I actually really hope that is the case. I have a feeling of existential dread every time I imagine all the effort I am putting into learning and acquiring new skills all going to waste when those tasks become absolutely second nature to ev

In reference to those stories about children remembering past lives, I never know quite what to make of them. For one, their stories seem to be remarkable in the fact that there seems to be no way a child would be able to fabricate the stor

Hahah. That made me laugh out loud. The idea of having a more open standard to be able to talk to devices in other people's houses is an a pandora's box; but I could also see a lot of interesting use cases. I'm just toying wi

Yeah I agree. The browser does seem to be the preeminent attack vector since it's the easiest way for actors to reach into your systems. I can imagine the next generation of ransomware where your smart devices are held hostage for smal

I don't know; I understand the cynicism here.. But can we assume an optimistic scenario where vendors are able to properly address the security implications and this enables web developers to build all kinds of new applications? I for

Man, I've been taking Trazodone as per this comment for the last week (had some extra laying around), and my IBS-C is basically gone. I've tried everything and this is the first thing that has worked. Thank you so much for your co

Wow. Thank you. This is enlightening in ways that you cannot even imagine. For example I thought maybe the gut problems had been causing other complications which resulted in the neuropathy. Now, I can maybe begin to look at the gut issue
