I strongly disagree. For one thing, many animals that lack language can still navigate a very complicated natural world using concepts of phenomena like gravity, distance, speed, the threat level of another animal, etc. without needing a

The backlash against vaccines was/is idiotic, and tying vaccine fast tracking and (some) forced vaccination to some grand conspiracy notion of a virus being released in order to force nefarious vaccines on people, is completly unseriou

Once again, I'm not an identitarian, nor was I trying to personally attack anyone, nor is my take on what happened an attempt to gain a sense of control over my environment (anymore than anyone's attempt to understand anything is

I don't think it was a conspiracy to make people sick. I also don't think the lab leak theory should be a partisan issue. I was in the camp at the time shouting that we needed to enforce masking and stay-at-home orders, and to say

TL;DR, Semi-literate people who get paid to write garbage no one wants to read are just as well served by aiming their fact-free thoughts at an LLM as they would be writing 30,000 meaningless words by hand. Case in point, this insipid blog

I say this as a committed fan of RNA vaccines and masking, who believed we could have contained covid with more serious lockdowns very early in the pandemic: In point of fact, it was someone's fault, and the someones whose fault it was

This is absolutely false. Stage resizing and browser hooks for window resize were fundamental in Flash. (only in Chrome after 2017 did those events stop being delivered until after the window resize finished; prior to that they were deliver

Actually, Electron is bloated, period. You can do your best with it, but there's a level of fundamental bloat and slow performance that's inherent to how it works. And bad code is bad code. Any platform can be used to write bad co

This is the right way to look at it. Anything with a ton of JS ads chewing up memory now is just as bad, or worse, than a ton of Flash ads were in the early 2000s. But Flash sites were, essentially, SPAs at the time. And they were far mor

People have this odd view that Flash had horrific performance, largely because their encounters with it as users were mostly with ads and graphics on the web that were terribly written and soaked up a lot of CPU. The same is true for tons o

Just wandered upon this when reading about early light guns and the first SEGA games. Made me think of the question of whether $80 is cheap or expensive for GTA VI. "The world is ready to pay more for its entertainment, ergo, the opera

Because the law doesn't stipulate which methods you use to make something accessible to people with disabilities. It just requires that everyone have equal access. To litigate, someone has to show that they couldn't access somethi

I took that to mean filling in the gaps on the source data, not literally filling in pen and ink gaps in the drawing. If so, that's a shame. It pollutes the original and isn't what counts as restoration.

That's such small potatoes. Anyone putting out an album on Bandcamp is probably thrilled that someone would want to pirate it.

This is really an Apple thing, rigidly enforcing whatever their current OS aesthetic looks like. But Apple (or Xerox) invented the UI paradigms we're still living with. Look at the progress of Flash/AIR AS3 as an embedded runtime

That's rather funny! Probably true. "API surface" sounds exactly like a CEO trying to say "API service" without understanding what an API is. lol.

Whoa. I remember using client-side image maps in web design in the 90s, although once Photoshop introduced slices (<table> with rollover javascript hovers inlined in your html!), it mostly put an end to that. I never heard of anyone,

Ask it how to prevent Spotify from automatically playing every time you get in your car. The answer will involve a bunch of Android settings that don't actually exist, cobbled together from a bunch of bad advice in online forums. Expla
