You get access to some features that a browser doesn't allow like better access to a file system or taking a screenshot. Plus it gets rid of visual clutter like the tab bar and treats your app like an actual application rather than a s

I was interested in this too so I took a dive in. The smoke effects are based on another project about Fluid simulation https://github.com/PavelDoGreat/WebGL-Fluid-Simulation It also has a working demo with controls (i

On a related note, can someone elaborate on the performance of using sockets. I would assume given that it's on the same machine that there wouldn't be that big of a performance hit. Especially if the data being passed was done in

1) I never said css in js puts js in css. I don't even know what this means. 2) You can still have component level css files without using some kind of framework that puts css into js. I've written projects where there was an impl

lol because it's a meaningless statement not the least because it implies smart people always produce perfect code. I don't think it's ever a good idea to bring into question people's competency when discussing software

Honestly, what the hell are we talking about here? CSS is one thing and JS another. It's typically better to use CSS for styling because it's declarative and simple. If your use cases are more complicated then use css preprocessor

Implying there's some intrinsic reason browsers can't have customizeable scrollbars.

The crux of the article seems to be google's hypocrisy by backing out of a business deal with the Us Defense Dpt. citing ethical concerns while doing business with China. Maybe Google thought the $$$ outweighed any moral concerns with

Color theory is a wide subject. The context it was used in this discussion was for design and the influence of colors on the end user for things like UX, branding, etc. Yes, color theory also includes important and technical things like col

Well this makes me feel awkward as a Unity dev. I saw that they'll allow unity based games on their new store but I wonder if that's just for the short term. Kind of makes me wonder if I should've chosen Unreal.

Kids will always mindlessly watch stuff but it's about what they're watching. I am on the fence about ad heavy shows, but that's not what I am talking about when I say that a lot of these shows are disturbing. I am assuming y

I absolutely hate websites that allow users to spend time inputting information particularly contact information like emails only to tell them at the last step that they have to pay to get the end result. It's a really scummy thing to

Which isn't too bad because it's basically a tv show at that point. They have multiple hosts, cameramen, sets, etc. There's probably quite a few people working on those shows and they probably burn through that 20m pretty qui

There are so many things wrong with youtube such as accountability, standards and advertising value. These problems get even weirder when kids are involved. Obviously the reason this kid is making 22m is because other kids are watching. Whi

I started following HN more seriously over the past few days and I keep seeing lots of pointless and irrelevant articles make the front page. I could've sworn it was like this 4-5 years ago.

"slim possibility" If Microsoft was dumb enough to pay 7+ bn for Github, there's probably a good chance they'd do something stupid again and bust out another fat stack of billions for Gitlab.

There's a good video from EEVblog (EEVblog #887 - The Economics Of Selling Hardware) where he suggests a MINIMUM of 2.5 x COGS. But I think that was assuming directly selling to customers and passing the cost of shipping to the custome

Is there even a generalized guideline on how to handover npm packages? It would seem like common sense to let something die and let any new interested maintainers fork the project thank to just wantonly hand it over to a complete stranger.

The source is idealism. I've noticed a lot of tech people tend to hand wave away implementation details and talk about things as a theoretical exercise on a very wide time frame. So eventually, at some point, this technology will be ab
