This is very cool, but doesn't actually load in two seconds. I would have been really impressed if that part was legitimately true.

FWIW, Firefox had PWA support on desktop and removed it.

I don't see the connection. Can you elaborate?

Artificial general intelligence seemed way cooler before the current LLM wave. Now it just seems dangerous. What's the point? What's the goal here? Edit: genuinely curious about examples of applications, which are absent from the

This is a bit out of left field, but if you're a web developer you can use Browsersync to control a web page across multiple browsers (even on different devices). So really you "just" need a good PDF viewer on that web page.

I honestly believe that proliferation of permissive non-copyleft open source licensing is what has harmed the free software movement the most. GPL used to be standard, but it's long been overtaken by short, easy to understand, do what

It's technically JScript.

The premise of the article linked from this one is "Wayland breaks your bad software", which is a funny way of saying it's incompatible with a bunch of irreplaceable software that people still use.

To be fair my reference browser is Firefox, WebGL is a fair bit slower there. What blows my mind with this technology is little things: porting the game to the browser gave me a half-working mobile port basically for free (had to implement

I feel the history explanation isn't that great, making it look like the modern web development simply reinvented PHP. There are nuances to every technology that make developers choose it over another. Still looking for a good blog pos

A couple of years back I also wrote a pure WebGL renderer for Neverball levels [1]. No physics, no translation to WebGL, just the 3D renderer part in direct WebGL. It also has a surprisingly low performance ceiling. I'd say I managed e

Devtools or F9 while in game. Type a famous magic word in the title screen to access all levels. Not sure how to do this on a phone which is what I was referring to - but framedrops are pretty obvious.

That expectation is off by nearly a decade. WASM games in terms of performance are closer to 2000 than 2010. Here's an open source indie game from 2003 that I ported to WASM [1]. It struggles to hit 60 FPS on devices that were released

As a European having watched many house framer videos on Youtube, the imperial system of in/ft actually somehow makes sense there. As far math, it's pretty annoying, but as far as communicating ratios or dividing distances into ha

This comment reminded me that I did something similar as a kid in the 90s. I recorded TV shows as audio onto cassette tapes and listened to them before bed to make falling asleep less boring. In retrospect, the coolest thing about it was th

That's literally the first thing I noticed in the screenshot on the website. Spacing in the UI is very inconsistent, almost the polar opposite of macOS aesthetic.

Seeing "View in desktop mode to experience projects" while on a phone is a real downer.

Hard disagree. As a web developer who has to work with the CSS monster daily, having to memorize property names between CSS versions would be a particular kind of nightmare.

Any truth to this? Somebody must have ran a benchmark at least?

This, to me, describes most Wikipedia articles.

At least in web development rolling your own is usually the pragmatic choice. It won't break opaquely upon update, you can fix it yourself, it only does what you need. Library and platform updates have a much higher chance of breaking

Insanely enough, Cloudflare sometimes puts these pages in front of API endpoints, as if that JSON were for human eyes only.

For what it's worth, I've found that I almost always want to put the label tag after the input tag. That enables me to select and style the label based on the input state via CSS pseudoclasses.

How did you measure this?

I tried a standing desk. It boosted my productivity for sure - when I wanted to procrastinate instead I just switched between sitting/standing and kept working. It also created a couple of health problems. First, I started to feel pain

In musical terms this is called audiation - the ability to imagine sound. From my experience, this can be acquired indirectly over time through regular vocal and musical practice (e.g., singing in a local choir or practicing an instrument).

What a crazy metaphor! You're equating using zero terminated strings in C to doing drugs.

By far the most impressive thing here, to me, is the fact that my phone does not heat up at all. Literally every other web based game or toy causes it to heat up. How is this possible?

I recently learned about "balancing" your shoelace knots and relearned how to tie my shoes (in my thirties). This describes the same principle, but doesn't call it balancing.
